MACM - Forever Thankful 4 U
Good morning, all!Ya know how sometimes you're just super thankful and grateful for everything you have and all the wonderful people in your life? I don't think we're grateful often enough. How much better would the world be if we were all a bit more grateful for each other, ya know?
That's sort of where this week's card came from. With Thanksgiving around the corner, it just really has me thinking about the people in my life that I'm grateful for... and not for any particular reason (which would have me send a regular thank you card). Just because they're there and are so good to me. :)
So, go out today and let the people in your life know that you care about them and are thinking about them.
Oh, and enjoy the card, too! :)

Hey Kristina,
Love the card. The colours are perfect for Autumn.
Have a nice Thanksgiving. We've had ours, already, of course.
Christmas is on the way. Looking forward to your Christmas card adventures. ;o)
Later ... Alicesue
This is a really cute card! I love what you did with the scallops and Designer paper! It looks so good. I also like the chip board! So fun!
I think this is one of my favourite cards you've made! I love the colour combo & sentiment. And how cool is that Heidi stamp - I think it looks just like YOUR handwriting! TFS!!
This is a great, simple card! I love it!
you always make the simpliest card so gorgeous...another great card, Kristina :)
I seriously Love this card!
Thank you I love your cards and i really love the video!
I LOVE this card
Super cute card! I loved hearing your tips while watching you make the card!
Kristina,
I love the card. I do have a question. The tape runner has been a favorite, but I have had to use the Tombow glue exclusively because I have had pieces of or cards fall apart because I guess it is so dry here. Even some of the swap cards I brought home from convention fell apart, so it just isn't mine. I usethe StampinUp tape runner and refill only. Any suggestions? I really like the Tombow adhesive, but it is more time intensive. Thanks, Sylvia
Love the card as always. I really am enjoying the voice over instructions inspired by your Two Peas in a Bucket Finally Friday videos. I think it adds a lot to hear your commentary. Thanks for all the beautiful cards.
Kristina, I LOVE using that brand of chalk ink as well. But on some of my clear stamps I cannot get the ink off! Its like it stained it or something. I have tried several cleaners, but I don't know what to do! Do you have any suggestions? Has this happened to you? Thanks for all the cards and videos you do!
Another great card! where did you find the "forever" stamp? I always try to handwrite my cards & for some reason they do not come out very good. I thought this stamp is perfect!
Thanks, guys! You're great!
Sylvia, I haven't had many cards fall apart and we're in a really dry climate, too. It might be that you're not putting enough adhesive on? I'm not shy about it at all. I slather that SNAIL glue on there. :)
Other than that, I'm not sure what to recommend. Sorry!
Vanessa, I've noticed that chalk ink stains my stamps as well. I haven't found anything that will take it off, but I figure I'm the only one who sees it and it doesn't affect how it stamps, so I try to not let it bother me. :)
Emma, all the supplies are listed below the video. :) The forever stamp is from Heidi Swapp. You can see it here:

I miss your more complicated cards and techniques. Have you been too busy to whip those out the advanced skills lately? Please bring them back! I miss watching in amazement!
Another inspiring video...
Adorable Card!!

Janessa, I don't think the cards I've made recently have been any different than my usual. :) It's all in the design. If the design calls for a specific technique, I'll do it, but if it can be done more simply, I'll go that route. I'm all about keeping it quick and simple.
I think that's always been my approach, so my recent cards are no different. :)
