For this weekÂ’s CAS challenge, honoring Emily aka stampingout. To CASE Emily (awesome CAS gallery!) I took elements of In Memory Of Beverly-CC402 by stampingout at Splitcoaststampers and Believe-WT360 by stampingout at Splitcoaststampers. Also for JellybeanÂ’s inspiring words hycct challenge and this weekÂ’s ways to use it challenge, a name game, to use a word starting with the same letter as our usernames to build a project. I chose Thanks. IÂ’ve learned that sincere gratitude is the healthiest way to live my life, and thereÂ’s SO MUCH in life for which to be thankful. Even in the yuckies. The apostle Paul directs us Christians to be thankful in ALL things.
Oh, and a trio of tree panels. It's all one stamp image, separated by negative masks.
My username is a combination of tesseract (a geometry concept and an idea from a favorite piece of childrenÂ’s literature) and tessellations (another geometry process, repeating shapes over a surface, like quilting, which is my other addiction), ending with a connection to my alma mater, the University of Oregon. Go Ducks!

What a gorgeous scene! Love the triptych look you created with the masking! Enjoyed hearing the story behind your name. Wish I had taken time to be more creative with my name - lol!

Wonderful how you took a single stamp and masked it into three panels. Lovely soft colors and such a fabulous message.
