Thank you Card Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to my posting for the New Year's Thank you Card Blog Hop!
If you've come here from Madison's blog over at Funky Cards you are in the right spot! I'm so glad you are joining us today! This blog hop was so easy for me to participate in. I do a lot of fun thank you cards after the holiday season to give thanks to the many people in our lives that went out of their way to give us gifts or host us over the holiday. Here are the two I chose for this hop today.

I just love the snowmen in this card and I love the stamped snowflakes in the background to make it look like it's snowing. This is similar to the Let it Snow card I did earlier in the week.
This ribbon from Stampin UP! is my favorite! It just makes the card and I love these three colors together! Stampin UP! Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, and Old Olive. The ribbon is the 1 1/4" Striped Grograin, also in Old Olive.

...Okay, now how about some blog candy? We all love that right?:-) I am giving away a Stampin UP! stamp set called Country Morning. This was a previous hostess only set and is no longer available. Just leave me a comment on this post letting me know if you still believe in sending out Thank you cards. That's it and oh I would love if you became a follower if you aren't already, but it's not a requirement:-).

  5. I love your cards, and agree that the snowflake background makes the first card look like it's snowing!

    I definitely believe Thank You cards should be sent. Receiving them is also nice; just this week I received one...it made me feel so special. I plan to retain that feeling as my motivation to be better about sending cards in the future.

    I really like those snowmen!
    Thank You cards are lovely to receive - whenever I get one I put it on display - but I have found that not a whole lot of people nowadays care that I've gone to the effort to handmake a card which has slowed down my TY card creations. I'd like to see TY cards and notes picking up because with the social networking of today, real contact with people is slowing down and I really miss letters and cards!

  22. Love it :) The colors choices in the snowman one are very fun.

  48. I love both of these cards - both so different and yet equally fabulous! I love SU stamps and love to see different ways of using them. I just went thru mine and I have more than I thought but they are all pretty old - 2003 I think. Anyway, I became a follower because I love your creative style! Have a lovely 2011!
