Mel's Creative Creations

I believe back in August I gave you a sneak peek of the suite Country Lane. With Thanksgiving coming I thought it was a good idea to play with this suite again. Here are the final results. I got my inspiration from the Holiday Catalog. I still have Holiday Catalogs if you are in need of one let me know and I will be happy to send you one. I did a little bit of everything. In the first card I actually used left overs from October's Paper Pumpkin. In the last card seen I even played with some of our Stampin Blends. This suite has been one of my favorites in the Holiday Catalog. Even when this set retires I can see myself keeping it as this is my style. Or should I say my dream style. If you are American I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. And to all that read this I am thankful to you and the time you take to check me out!

I recently got back into Paper Pumpkin. This is a monthly subscription and you get a surprise each month. This month was enough supplies to make these lovely cards. I like the convenience of having everything at my finger tips. After I made these cards some of them flew to a new home. I hope the recipients enjoy them! 

If you are not aware November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month. I made these cards for my sisters as this is the cancer that took our mom away from us 7 years ago. I wanted to do something that remembered our Mom but brought awareness of this cancer to. My plan originally was to have identical cards but I made a small mistake and had to get creative. Lol.  Most of the products I used are recent and can be found in our annual or holiday catalog. But not the doilies as they are retired but we have different kind of doilies, again in the annual catalog. Is there a cause your passionate about? I would love to hear about it.

If you follow me on social media you have seen these pictures already. But for my dear blog readers I thought I would share here my recent order here. Yes, those are Stampin' Up! socks you see. You can only get these if you are a demonstrator and with your flex points. Our new year starts in October and we have have to spend any flex points we have left by the end of the month.The rest of the items you see are in our holiday catalog or main.

I belong to a Stampin' Up! group called Luv2Stamp. A week or so ago we got together and had a stamping day. These are the makes and takes we did. Our hostess also provided us with a bag of goodies and a personal cloth bag that she made for all of us! I think that cloth bag will come in handy for storing the Stamparatus. But I did hear that Stampin' Up! has made a bag for such a purpose. I wanted to encourage you if you can to get together with your crafty friends whether its with Stampin' Up! or something else. Its a relaxing thing and you get to do something creative and make pretty cards as in this case. Most of the projects I made can be found in our Holiday Catalog. Down below I will have a list of items that we used as I remembered them.  Hope you find time to be creative!
