We’ve got some cute stuff to share, but first...
Happy Thanksgiving, wonderful friends!
I am so very thankful for YOU. What uplifting, kind-hearted folks. You take the time to share your words of encouragement, appreciation, and wonder in your comments here, on Facebook and Instagram, on our designers’ blogs. I thank you for bringing my Power Poppy images into your crafting space, and sharing your creativity and handmade treasures with others. Ours is a relationship that’s rare — being able to connect through art from our hearts. Now more than ever, this kind of connection is needed in the world. I’ve gotten to know so many of you over the years, and consider this community such a gift in my life. So again, thank you. Wishing you and your friends and family a Thanksgiving filled with love and gratitude.

Now... let’s look at cards that are totally darling, featuring a nostalgic image that’s a lot of fun to color... it’s a favorite around here: Glitter House Village.
The design of this scene is based on 1940s cardboard houses, covered in paint and glitter, sold in dimestores so folks could create little holiday villages. There were tiny bottlebrush trees, and cottony snow. You know those little houses, right? Here’s the original inspiration for my artwork...
And get this, AS OF TODAY, you can get Glitter House Village in both clear polymer AND as a digital download, called Glittery Village. Yippee!
Did I mention that these two sets are on sale today? Though you MIGHT want to wait until tomorrow... we have Black Friday sale stuff happening where you can save BIG.
Here’s a special sneak peek at a card from our Christmas Remix hop that is blowing my mind. Leave it to Instant Gardener Catherine Anderson to combine the Glittery Village digital stamp with our Christmas Corgi download. Plus a sentiment and accents from Grandma’s Snowflakes. She set up such a sweet vintage scene to accompany her preciously detailed card.
Be sure to stop by all of the designers’ blogs when you have time this weekend — there is so much inspiration here — and we are SO THANKFUL for all of these women sharing their creative talents.

ReplyDeleteHi Marcella!
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time visiting the many artist's blogs here! Today was my first time going any further than the store, but I believe I will make it an activity to do often! The art they shared was beautiful---stunning! I love your Christmas images! The projects of cards and tags were all so elegant. I'm certain any recipient will be full of joy to receive such a treat!
My personal favorite was the village image. Lovely. The one with the corgi was so much fun, too! I think you should have one sent to Her Majesty, the Queen! She loves her corgis!
I did visit all of the blogs. One wouldn't open for me. I did not see the give-away image, however. I don't know how I could have missed it. I left a comment on each artist's comments. There was one I didn't know how to leave a comment. It wasn't the usual. "are you a robot?" followed by "post comment."
I will be back for sure! Thank you for such a lovely way to spend some time!
He IS Able!
