    Funny how someone puts things together that another person (me) wouldn't have thought to use together. The woodgrain folder is a favorite of mine, but have a hard time using. I love it here. And I am starting to like bakers twine. Beautiful card.

    The twine, the texture and the shading around the edges really make this card pop! I, too, am thankful for all the blessings we have in Christ.

    Hi Patter~

    I pray you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, although I know that every day is a day of giving Thanks. I love how that Sizzix embossing folder worked on your card. It looks just like wood. And, Patter you can work wonders with the twine you have! As for the cornucopia-it is colored amazingly with Distress Inks. I would love to see a tutorial on that, Patter! It is exceptional, really! Enjoy your weekend.

    He IS Able!
