Hello everyone!
We are still a couple of days away from Thanksgiving in America, but I'm posting now as I'll be up to my elbows cleaning and cooking in the next coupla days, just like so many of you. This will be our 41st Thanksgiving dinner in this house with beloved friends and family. We are more blessed now than we've ever been.
I count each of you as part of my many blessings and I'm grateful to have you here! Here is my card for you:

Uber CAS. (Look, BABES, I found a way to use some of that Washi tape!)

The green leaf paper is handmade with a lovely soft texture. These beautiful papers only needed the addition of a simple sediment and some of them work for either gender. Bonus.

Wishing you a joyous Thanksgiving, Darnell. Beautiful work from a beautiful soul. I so appreciate your wonderful take on life and all its blessings.
What an array of wonderful cards Darnell, sneaky favourite is the first one because of that glorious ribbon, but really love them all. Have a wonderful time with your family and friends, Kate x
What gorgeous cards! I love all the colours and most especially that tartan/plaid ribbon on the first. Enjoy your day. It happens to coincide with my 40th birthday this year, so I'm pretending that everyone is celebrating because of me 😂 Lol! Xx
I just love your cards! Always beautifully done, and a bit of whimsy and fun! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Hugs!
All your cards are so lovely! I love the ribbon in the first one, it can be so hard for me to use ribbon.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
You made lovely autumn cards !!!!!
Like the one with the tape ! Funny one !
Beautiful autumn cards! Especially love the banner one! Have s blessed Thanksgiving!
All of these are gorgeous! I love the ribbon on the first card but that second one, the CAS beauty with the perfect use of washi tape has stolen my heart. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I really like all of the cards you show today.... I think we have the same thing with washi tape, nice to buy but hard to use ;-) Thank you for your inspiration, the cards with the banners are really inspiring me! In the Netherlands we do not celebrate Thanksgiving, but I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
Wonderful selection here Darnell....you have been busy. I like the banner cards...great design! I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs xx

Beautiful cards, Darnell! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Well I picked a new favorite each time I saw a new card BUT my final choice is for the last card. Oh my what a beauty. But that is not to say I don't love them all. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
All your cards are so beautiful! I just love that ribbon on the first one. And, I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. I am cleaning like crazy too!
Great cards! I love the felt on the first card and this is a perfect way to use washi tape. I also love the hand made paper because some paper never should be covered.
What pretty cards, Darnell! Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving celebration with loved ones, friends, and family. :)

Such a fabulous collection of cards Darnell! I love the rake with washi tape but they are all lovely. I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving with family & friends.
Wowzers girl...you have been a busy, busy lady! AH-MAZING, BEAUTIFUL creations resulting from your craft room time! Love the plaid ribbon, love the washi tape (yay you!), LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the STUNNING gratitude cards (the images are gorgeous), and love the sweet simplicity and earthy colors in the beauties found in the QACASPP section of the card shop!
W.T.Purkiser is a wise, wise person!
This are all beautiful but the Grateful card is my favorite, love the colors on that one!! Wishing you and yours the happiest of Thanksgivings sweet Darnell!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family, Darnell--enjoy the holiday! Beautiful cards I know all the recipients are enjoying! Love how you used the Washi!
A wonderful assortment of cards, Darnell.
I particularly love those patterned paper beauties. Such a clever idea. X
Lovely cards - all of them! Your brain is a bottomless pit of wonderful card ideas. Enjoy your Thanksgiving gathering.
Wonderful cards and have a superb Thanks giving, you are a blessing to the card making world xx
Your thankyou card is so warm; must give the recepiant an instant warm feeling! And great use of the washitape plus I love the super cas-design! Your series look good, especially the monochrome leaf-cards; they are beautiful and as gender-neutral as you can make a card :)! Hugs, Gerrina
What a fantastic collection of cards, I wanted to mention each seperately to let you know how much I love them but my head is so overloaded at the moment I am struggling to remember who I am :) the washi tape works perfectly how you used it. Those fantastic tag cards so so pretty and that wonderful paper, I couldnt believe how wonderful it was when I enlargened the pikturs. Hope you have a wonderful and family rich time at Thanksgiving. Hugs Aileen
All are beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving to you. You are a blessing to so many! xoxo
Gorgeous cards, as always. Happy Thanksgiving to you, the Mr and your family.
Hugs,
Em xoxo

Beautiful cards, Darnell. I want to wish you and your family a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
All your cards are wonderful! Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
Wow, what a treat, Darnell ... so many beautiful cards! Gorgeous plaid ribbon on the first ... fabulous to see that washi make such a beautiful appearance on the second (especially as it was so shy and retiring on it's first outing!) ... STUNNING gratitude selection ... and a confection of loveliness in that QACAS PP sextet! Wise words indeed, my friend ... what a brilliant quote! Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you and all of yours ... hope you're enjoying every moment! LYAMYHMA! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
Stunning assortment of cards, Darnell! Love your last series of the leaf ones...so gorgeous!! 41 years in the same house! that is amazing. Hope you have had a wonderful day...we kept it low key here today, our big feast will be on Sunday, so DH and I actually went out to a restaurant and ate! Happy Thanksgiving friend! Heart Hugs, Col
Cool cards. Congrats on the use of washi tape. I really like that top card. That ribbon makes my heart go pitter patter (in a good way, no need to get the nitroglycerin out).
Happy Thanksgiving Darnell. Hope you had a wonderful day with your family. Cx
First of all, thank you for your warm wishes on my blog post.
Now to your post. I love the cards you have made, and the washi tape one especially caught my eye. Love the tape - was it that colour or have you coloured it? It really is eye catching and the two lines of it are just perfect. Makes it a real crisp ad clean card.
Hope you had a lovely day with beloved friends and family. 41 years - that is some achievement!
Hugs and Blessings
Neet xx
