Thankful Tuesday!

Greetings to All!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Monday.  This month is be 'thankful' month.  Everyone should give thanks everyday for someone or something in your life.

I would have to say that today I am very thankful for my family.  I love my family, we have ups and downs, nothing is perfect and we all have our days, but we still love each other and will always be there for each other for the good, the bad, and the ugly.  So, I am very thankful for my family.

Now on to other challenges.  I am going to try to stick to Fall and Thanksgiving themes (with the exception of Nov being also birthday month for Ash).  But today the challenge is about using brads.  So, I have applied it to my Thanksgiving card that I will use as my challenge.  I actually used six brads on the card. It is a 3D pumpkin (inspired by Teresa Collins), I embossed with my big shot, stamped inside with 'Be Grateful' and outside with 'Happy Thanksgiving'.  Inside has leaves stamp from Michael's dollar bin (I water colored the leaves).  The brads are on the top outside, 3 teardrops blingage, and on the inside bottom right corner, 3 buttons.  Photos are below.
