SOS Challenge #20 -Thank You

This week's theme at Shopping Our Stash is Thank You or Thanksgiving, and my card is truly in the spirit of this challenge blog - ALL STASH!

Back in September I took a Saturday and did some major purging of s-crap from the Captain's Quarters. Along the way I re-discovered this piece of very very very old Basic Grey paper and declared it "Fall colors":

This card is 99% scraps, er ... remnants, and yes, I am very proud. The blue is SU Bordering Blue (I think), the brown strip is from a piece of Core'dinations paper (it has a really cool green on the other side, but I digress), and the base & sentiment (by Hero Arts) are on some Naturals White. The tiny piece of orange is Cajun Craze, and I didn't have a scrap of that. ;( Oh, and the ribbon was already tied! I must have taken it off a failed card intact. I just cut the loop in back and taped it to the card. EASY!

So there you have it - a scrappy Thank You card! Now go into your stash, find something you haven't used in a while, make a Thank you or Thanksgiving card, and come link up to us at Shopping Our Stash so we can see what you've made!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lovin the fall colours & that sweet layout. I need to make some scrappy thank yous. Been thinking they'd make great Christmas gifts as card collections...
