Great challenge today, Dawn. Although you mentioned your twist, which was to use your favorite 'go too' goodies, I opted not to reference any particular embellishments.
One of the things I am grateful for is not only the soldiers that protect us and are willing to give up their lives for their country, but also for the wonderful SCS gifts I've received throughout my crafting adventure.
I always try to 'go too' my RAKS first, so I think those are the things I will always try to use before I bring out my own stash. Take for example, this card: Thanks to Whim6915, aka Christine, for this Christmas image and thanks to Peggy-Sue for the rich polka dot ribbon. I am very grateful to my SCS friends, in addition to our soldiers~
Thanks my friends. You are what I am very grateful for especially as I look toward a season of thankfulness.
I cased this card from Mrs.Okey's holiday card seen HERE.

Anne, don't know how I missed this wonderful card. My youngest DD bought me this stamp for my birthday and you did an absolutely fabulous job with it - into my favs. This is so heartwarming! Love your write up too - touched my heart! Hugz.
