Thursdays with Lindsay

Good Morning! I have a late post today because my kids were home yesterday and I didn't get anything done! Oh well, I enjoyed the day.

Today's Thursdays with Lindsay card is from a tutorial I followed on SCS for a recessed card. When I first watched the video I thought to myself that I would never do that card. Then I watched again. I've had a few chats with my friend Joni and we've been talking about "raising the bar" in our crafting. So with her words echoing in my head, I decided to try the card and I love it!! It's a bit crooked, but that's OK.


I featured her set called Leaf Prints that she released several weeks ago. She is releasing a new set today, but what I wanted to do with it, I needed more time then what I had. And this fit a couple of challenges. The first challenge is for The Pink Elephant with a theme this week of being thankful. The other challenge is from The Color Dare to use Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Really Rust. A color combo I don't think I would've ever put together on my own. This photo doesn't do the ribbon justice - it's a very rich rust color ribbon that I hoard as much as possible. There's not a lot of embellishment because I wanted to keep it clean and simple and I wanted to be sure the leaf print paper wasn't hidden - it's too pretty to cover up.

Be sure to visit Lindsay for today's release and freebie. Don't forget to visit the rest of the team to see what lovely treasures they have to share with you today.

Thanks for stopping by.
