Welcome to the Cricut Card Fairy Blog Hop. This month we are practicing being thankful for all the blessings in our lives. What are you thankful for? Do you stop daily and thank those around you for blessing you? Do you appreciate the small things in life? I sure hope so! With that in mind all of us fairies have put together some awesome THANKSGIVING/THANKFUL themed crafty items.For my project I created a Thanksgiving card. I started with the rhinestone leaves that I fell in love with at the craft store. I put the rhinestones on some textured green paper and carefully cut around them to get what you see. I then taped some string to the back of them so that the leaves would look like they were falling. I haven't secured the leaves down, so they swing around. Which I think is cool! The background paper is From Recollections Garage Sale line. It has a great image on it that I want to use for another project and I loved this background for this project....I guess what I'm saying is Don't be afraid of cutting up paper and using it!!! For the sentiment at the bottom I embossed it with bronze embossing powder from Martha Stewart.
Before I get to the blog candy and blog hop list, I wanted to let you know about the Cricut Card Fairy Army. We get regular email requests from people who have friends or family in need of a card. Sometimes it is a sympathy card and other times it's a birthday card! If you are looking to send out some of the great handmade cards you make, contact Crystal to cricutcardfairyarmy@gmail.com.
Now for my give away! This weekend I will be giving away an i-rock and a pack of glam pearls. There are two conditions: 1) you must leave a comment on this post with a way for me to contact you. 2) if you win, I'd like to hear what you think of the tool (I don't have one...yet!). You do not need to be a follower to win the i-rock...however I will be having another giveaway soon to celebrate and thank my followers. So if you like my blog and giveaways, become a follower!Now onto the rest of the blog hop where there are opportunities for inspiration, and blog candy. So make sure you hop all the way through, leave comments on every blog, and then a comment on Caitlynsmommy's blog when finished. She is the Cricut Card Fairy Army leader and will be giving away a BNIP Hello Kitty Greetings cart to a person that comments on ALL the blogs!
Happy hopping!

LOVE this card. The leaves are so cute & also thinks it's neat that they aren't adhered to anything that they are just hanging out lol. TFS!
Beautiful card and wonderful cause! TFS

I love it! I think it is super cool that they are free floating too! Thank you for being a fairy!
Such a cute use of those rhinestone leaves - I have to try and remember your idea! scrpbooklady at gmail dot com.
I just love this card! The leaves are so creative...can't wait to make some of them. I think they'd be great scattered over a Thanksgiving Table-top...they'd really shine in the candlelight. Thanks for sharing! ksjennings (at) gmail (dot) com
I love your card and the great way you explained how you made it. Beautiful. I haven't seen the i-rock yet, just heard about it from some people who use them. I would like to try one out though.
have a great weekend! penlight-at-juno-dotcom
I love all the bling with the fall colors. Thank you for sharing.

wow - love the leaves - never thought of blinging out like that - very effective. The iRock is a great tool to put the bling on a number of services! I would put it on my cloth shopping bags as well as cards.
my email is on my blog.. I forgot to post it above luv2scrap44 at yahoo dot com
this is clever. Thanks for sharing.
Geat card! TFS
What a wonderful card - I would have never thought of embellishing the leaves like that. I'd love to hear how your winner likes the i-rock too (unless I win yours of course!).
Wow, you have soo much patience to place all those rhinestones and then cut them out.... but what a great affect they make as the focal point of your card :)

Great card and I love the theme of this hop. I don't have an Irock, but from what I've seen they really look cool. Everyone that has one seems to love it.

Beautiful card - love the bling. Just arrived home from an afternoon of making Christmas tags with friends. Guess what one of my friends used on her tag -- an i-rock! It was an awesome way to adhere your bling.

Thank you for all of your hard work with the card faries! Thank you for having a fun blog for me to follow and be inspired by... and thank you for this fun hop! I think I need to be better at using paper too. Sometimes I think I am saving stuff too long because it might be used in the future on another project! Thanks for the chance to win an irock! pjritsema at gmail dot com
I'm diggin' the glammed out leaves. TFS!

Your card is very wonderful. I will be a new follower. pennykitz@charter.net
I absoulutely love my irock!!! It's so easy to use and the adhesive on the gems rocks (no pun intended, lol). I'd love to win one and have it sent to my sis in Tennessee. She had to move there (away from me, waaa) as her husband is in the military.
