Welcome to the Thanksgiving Inspiration blog event, brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew!"
I was very excited and honored to be asked by my friend, Barb, to be a guest for The Inspiration Crew's "Thanksgiving Inspiration Blog Hop" being held today. In the words of Donna Bowman: "We’re just a group of online crafty friends who love being creative. This time we're doing a 1-day event to provide you with tons of autumn and Thanksgiving-themed inspiration."
I've made two cards for you, each one QACAS to show you how quick and easy it is to make a card showcasing your patterned paper! And patterned ribbon to, if you have it! In the case of this card, both are NBUS ~ never-before-used schtuff. I made the card long and lean to show as much of the paper as possible.
And my second card:
Again, I wanted to showcase the stunning autumn patterned paper, so I chose to use a minimal sediment of thanks.
I'm also entering both of my cards in Susan's 2013 Thanksgiving Crusade.

I just can not get enough of fall colours! Lovely cards, Darnell! Love QACAS!!! I seem to be making way too many TWTLCASE (take way too long CAS) cards these days! Time to switch it up! Thanks for the inspiration!
These are stunning, Darnell! You have indeed inspired me to get to work on more Thanksgiving cards!
These are stunning Darnelle, your beautiful designs really showcase the wonderful papers. The Autumnal colours are so beautiful.

They're both just gorgeous! The papers are incredible, and your designs are so effective! I'm especially in love with the colours on the second one! x
Hello Darnell, two beautiful autumnal cards. The papers are wonderful and I agree with minimal embellishments. Let the beauty of the papers speak for themselves.

Beautiful Darnell - I love autumn colours but especially like the second card with those rich and vibrant colours.
Love your QACAS cards, Darnell, especially that second one. Kicking through dry leaves is one of my favourite autumn hobbies!

I'm finally getting a chance to 'hop' around!
I'm blown away by the beauty of your cards Darnell! You have totally captured the gloriousness of the designs, color and texture of the DP. A wee adornment or two (love the ribbon on card #1) and a fine, fine display of mother nature's fall painting is ours to enjoy and be inspired by!
Two gorgeous cards with beautiful patterned paper!
Those designer papers are gorgeous! I'm salivating here ;-)
