Happy Thanksgiving wishes for all my friends to the south...and to everybody else, as well!
Here in Canada, we celebrated our Thanksgiving in October. I consider EVERY day a Thanksgiving, so I'm celebrating along with you! God is so good, and He blesses us beyond measure!
A short time ago I found a 7gypsies ATC card holder on clearance for a fabulous price...I just had to get it! It's been on my "to do" list forever to make an ATC, and I thought having the holder would be great motivation. Then I started my hunt for the 7gypsies accessories for my holder. I couldn't find them anywhere! When my sweet friend Sue (from Creative Inspirations) heard about my search, she gifted me with a fabulous assortment of cards and the ATC punch too! Thank you, Sue! I was so excited! :o)
Then I heard that my other sweet friend, Anne-Marie, was going to be starting a new challenge on her blog. It's called "Faith Challenge" and there will be a new challenge every month. I thought it would be wonderful fun to participate by creating an ATC for each new challenge. For the month of November the challenge is "Thankful". You must create a project, of any kind, and include any of the following words on it: Thanks, Thankful or Thanksgiving. You are also encouraged to include a Scripture verse on your project. How wonderful is that? :o)
Here is my first ATC. It's been gloomy and snowing ever since I finished it, so please excuse the quality of the photos. This is the front:

It was lots of fun to make this project! The size is so much fun to work with, and as you know...I love to use Scripture in my work! I'm really looking forward to the next challenge. Thank you, Anne-Marie! :o)

What is an ATC? ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. They are defined as "little pieces of art measuring 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches." Do a Google search if you're interested. These cards have a very interesting history! :o)
