Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop

Hello Friends, Followers and Blog Hoppers!  Welcome!  If you arrived here from Kary Lim's blog you are on the right track.  This month's theme was 'Thankful'.  While I do have an Autumn/Thanksgiving set from Taylored Expressions I could not use it for today's hop as we are only supposed to be showcasing the 'Blast from the Past'.  So, I got a little creative and used the It's A Banner Day 1 set and die along with the cute cows from TE's Green Acres set to create this thank you card 'from the whole herd' using this week's TESC150 sketch:

I used some denim and handkerchief patterned paper for a farmy feel abd a Martha Stewart punch to create the grass.  In addition to the TESC150 sketch Challenge, this card fulfills the requirements of the following additional challenges:

• Fussy N Fancy  - Be Thankful,
• Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - Thank you,
• Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 138 - Punch It (I used a circle punch, and two different edger punches for the grass and scalloped lace and a It's a Banner Day 1 die as well),
• Creative Card Crew - Thankful,
• Shopping Our Stash - Never Been Inked Challenge (This is the first time I used both Green Acres and It's a Banner Day 1 sets),
• Party Time Tuesdays Challenge 42 - Thank you,
• The Paper Variety - Thanks,
• Inky Impressions Challenge 33 (IIC33) - Give Thanks,
• Stamps R Us Challenge - Crafty Sentiments Bling It On,
• Forever Friends Month's Challenge for November - Something Old, Something New (the patterned papers & rhinestones are old and the stamp sets and die are new), and
• The ABC Challenge - D is for Dazzle (I added several rhinestones to bling up the card).

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you like my card.  Jen Shults' blog is next, I am sure she will have something spectacular for you!  Just click on her name below.
