Thankful

Hello, today i will make it short. My card was made for this weeks Challenge over on Stamp With Fun to make a Autumn card. I have distressed all the layers of the papers heavily. I have used over the entire card Shimmerz spritz with a lovely gold shimmer. You - have to check out the new colors!
I am SOOOO excited because this week, Simmerz is releasing a brand new Fall line of colors (Vintage) AND we now have an Education team!! YAY!!! Ever wanted to learn all of the fascinating ways to use Shimmerz? Well, there ya go! Make sure to stop by Shimmerz for all of the fun....but if you can't manage that :) Here is a post for the video blog hop. Stop by all the Education Teams Blogs, watch the videos, become a follower of the blog, and REMEMBER the favorite color of each of the teachers, and you will be eligible for one of our Shimmery Prizes!!! Plus, at the Shimmerz blog, the design team is sharing their creations with the new colors. Have I ever said how Fabulous these women are???? I will be sharing my creations later on this week. Off to the doctor for a quick steroid shot Woo Hoo!!! Have a Blessed Day!The Hop Starts Here! We are so happy to have you join us for our first ever Video Blog Hop! We thought this would be a fun way to introduce our new education team to you, and debut our new Fall Vintage Color Collection!
