Today I am sharing a card I made for Thanksgiving
with products from the new Close to my Heart catalog. 
As we move out of summer and into fall and the holidays, I like to look around and take note of all the blessings I have in my life. I know that as the children are going off to school and the leaves are beginning to fall, that Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are right aroung the corner.
What a wonderful time to count my blessings and prepare my heart for the the season of love and thankfullness just ahead of us.
I made this card with the new Workshops on the Go Huntington Scrapbooking kit, It has 2 ea of 3 pattered papers, 10 sheets of coordinated cardstock, an exclusive stamp set only available with this workshop, an assortment of 4 printed canvas shapes & 6 printed wooden spool tops, Brown and Tan Sparkle Rhinestones and an instructional brochure to complete a 2 page layout.
I love how close to my heart always puts a coordinating pattern on the back of the bottom strip of their papers, I used 2 of these on the edges of my card, the strip to the left I added some bling and the right strip Icolored the leaves with our markers and then placed inside the card and cut the front a little short so that it would show. The strip on the right front is a piece of card stock that I stamped with leaves from the same kit.
I stamped the wood grain in Sweet Leaf, and the sentiments are stamped in Slate from the Count Your Blessings stamp set. I added one canvas shape and one button top also from the kit.
I love how all of our products coordinate together to make a beautiful card. I am hoping that whoever receives this will enjoy having it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Your card is lovely. It reminds me of the leaves that fall in Utah around Thanksgiving. We don't get to experience that where I live in Texas.
Hugs,
