Challenge Title: may your joy be as countless as the golden grain
Hostess: stamp_momma aka Lori Craig
Keyword: FF16stampmommaA
Date: Sunday, October 9th

I am so delighted to be bringing you an opening challenge for our very first ever Falliday Fest at Splitcoaststampers. It's just the boost I needed to get my brain wrapped around the goodies and cards that I'll need through the next few months, and it's been so fun to revisit my beautiful collection of fall and Christmas stamps! So, thank you for joining us for the fun!

I have had the honor of living many beautiful places through the years, but I am a Kansan by birth and last year we returned to my homeland! I love it here. I love the rolling hills, the people and our deep roots in agriculture as the 'bread basket' of the world! My favorite time of year here is just before wheat harvest - which is actually in the spring - early June. But, the sea of amber waves of grain is a site to behold. I'm thankful!


My challenge for you is to create a thanksgiving card and include wheat in your image: stamp, hand-doodled, photo, you decide! I can't wait to see what you share! I've attached my sample and samples from my beautiful co-hosts for inspiration to get you started!

Thanks for playing!

Morning Lori!!

Good morning! I love this challenge! Can't wait to see the gallery!

Nice way to start Falliday Fest 2016. Here's my card for this challenge:


Autumn Pocket Gift Card Holder

This one might be interesting for me.. lol I have no wheat....

it could be easily drawn with colored pencils or watercolored...don't let that keep you from creating a thankful card!

Yes, I will give it a go... just not sure my artistry will be card worthy.. hahaha

Here's my card! Lucky me bought a wheat stamp years ago, and rarely use it! So I was tickled to pull it out today.

Here's my Thanksgiving card. Thanks for the challenge Lori!


Harvest Time

Hmmm, Kathy, that is very nice. I'm trying to think if I have anything that resembles wheat.. but I really don't think I do. =/

Do you take your computer into your craft room when you make cards? I find I'm either in the craft room, away from the computer... or on the computer, and not doing anything crafty. =(

I went back to classic style for this one. Thanks for the great challenge, Lori! FF16stampmommaA Golden Blessings by casep - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for the challenge, Lori! Fit my simple style well!

Neat challenge, & I think I may have a wheat-ish stamp even! I was wondering, does the card have to say Thanksgiving, or can it be just a "thankful"-type card, with an autumnal color scheme? Yes, I am a perfectionist, and a stickler for rules & doing it "right"! LOL

FF16stampmommaA Harvest Thanks
 

What a great challenge! I had fun combining 3 tags- 1 with a cloudy sky, 1 with wheat, and 1 with my sentiment. Used burlap ribbon and twine for my bow, and added a light blue and yellow dc flower with a brad/twine combo for an embellishment. Finished with 3 light blue beads, some turquoise washi tape, and stitching. Here's FF16stampmommaA Harvest Thanks

Fun Challenge - Here is my card:

FF16stampmommaA - Happy Harvest (LT) by Rebeccaof - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

fun challenge, I kept my card very CAS, I adore the concord & 9th wheat stamp and dies and wanted it to shine through.

here is the link to my card

thankful, grateful, give thanks, any of those will work...your ideas sound great! have fun

My "wheat" is actually an evergreen bough. I have no wheat stamps. :confused:

Excited to learn that stampmama is a fellow Kansan/jawhawk and loving her challenge.

I have a tablet and WiFi, so I take it into the craft room with me.

I might do another if I find my wheat stamp but, here is a first attempt from me

FF16StampmommaA Hello by JBgreendawn - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Nice cards all! love your wheat Stacy....

Here 'tis: FF16stampmommaA action

I had to get creative on this one...no wheat stamps of anykind, so I colored the ground here to look like straw and added jute to the middle brad (after I took this picture)

Havin a Hay Day by gl1253 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

What to do? I know I purged a stamp that would be perfect for this challenge! Did I keep the other one?

Thanks for the challenge, Lori. I had a couple of wheat stamps to choose from. This one let me use my new Cared Creator die. I like how the edging works with the framing of the stamp. Here's my card FF16StampMommaA Harvest of Plenty

I remembered that the Jar of Love included a little wheat image, so this is what I created:

Wheat Wreath

Thanks for the inspiration!
Cindy

I hope my "thanks" will work. The verse inside is about being thankful / appreciating an individual who has been a blessing in my life.

Fun challenge Lori. It inspired me to try something new!

Thank you for looking!

Here's mine...
 

No wheat stamp here and no drawing ability whatsoever...which is one reason I own a Cricut so to that I must go. Hopefully, that doesn't disqualify me since it isn't a stamp. Plenty of ink used for background however!

Give thanks by Shirleysgirl - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Do a google image search for reference! Wheat is so easy to doodle!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Great challenge idea...especially for a Thanksgiving card....which I did. : ) Thanks!

WHEAT IN THE FIELD

Andrea - it does not have to say Thanksgiving! Look at my sample! Just the spirit of thankful! :)

Although it was a challenge to find a stamp with wheat, I loved getting this stamp inky.

Finally found a wheat image in my stamp collection! Thanks for a wonderful fall challenge, Lori. Love your sample!

Here is my card:

Here's my card for this challenge

Lynn's FF16StampMommaA may your joy be as countless as the golden grain car by muzbysmom - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Didn't have any wheat stamps so I had to improvise. Here is my card: Wheat?

So fun! I don't know how many of the Falliday cards I'm going to be able to do, but this one was easy! :)
