Grateful


 I love this Stampendous stamp and use it often because it reminds us to always be grateful in spite of our hardships and difficulties. I found a few leftover strips of Lawn Fawn autumn themed papers and added them to the side of the card, adding some die-cut Lawn fawn leaves cut from more snippets of autumn colored papers. The little bird was cut with a snippet of black and a SnSS die, dotting the eye with a white gel pen. The tiny sun is a die from Lawn Fawn and was made from snippets also.

I'll share this with the following challenges:

The Snippets Playground #478 - must use snippets

the Triple B April 2024 Challenge -  use 1,2, or 3 of Birds, Blooms, Butterflies
or if you choose, use all 3

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your day is just perfect

Carol

Thank you for remembering it dear Carol! Sometime all seems wrong, but it depends by the eyes and the spirit we look at it! So thinking to something to be grateful brings us back to have our heart and mind lighter and positive, and enjoy the little things! I'm grateful for a lot of things, as knowing wonderful people in the world and you are surely one of them! :)
Sweet and lovely clean design with the beautiful strips of patterned papers. Love the cute bird, the leaves and the sun! That cute patterned leave looks great!
Big hugs and enjoy your new Spring days!! :)

This is a lovely autumnal card using your paper strips. Love the addition of the bird and the falling leaves - but the wonderful sentiment takes centre stage. Fabulous.

Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you on the swings to count our blessings shortly xxx

Your card is such a beautiful reminder of gratitude amidst life's challenges. The combination of the Stampendous stamp with the autumn-themed papers and die-cut leaves creates a warm and comforting feel. The attention to detail, like the dotted eye on the bird and the tiny sun, adds such a lovely touch to the overall design.
