Heartfelt Creations - So Grateful For You

Happy Wednesday!

I have a little inspiration for you today using Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies, and designer papers!  "So Grateful For You" is the sentiment on the card, but I sincerely am grateful for all you who stop by my blog and leave me sweet comments!  It so makes my day and pushes me to keep creating!  Thank you so much!

Pieces of this card, mainly the flower and card base, have been floating on my desk for quite a while.  Finally, this week I came up with something I was happy with and hopefully you are too!  (You can click on the photo to get a better look and complete instructions are at the end of the post.)

Next week HC will be releasing their November Release of products!  Instead of doing them on Wednesday, they will be released on Friday (black Friday)!!!  You can check out the HC Blog for a sneak peak of them...beautiful as always...also see all the gorgeous creations from the design team this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday Challenge #54 - Uplifting sentiments
• Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #165 - Something broken and put back together - my leaves are cut in pieces and put back together around the flower

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Blessings!

Kathy

So Grateful for You
