There is Always Something to Be Thankful For

I just love this sentiment... There is Always Something to be Thankful for! So true :)

I think that's a great way to live life, as well, actually!

And.... what fun it will be to send this card to a friend to say thank you for a kind gesture!

We start this card with a Whisper White card base, then added another layer of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

Next, we added a square piece of Maritime Designer Series Paper layered over Basic Black Card Stock. Then, we added a strip of Calypso Coral Ribbon (found in the Best Year Ever Sale-a-Bration Accessory Pack - yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration!), along with a strip of Crisp Cantalope Card Stock. We stapled these two pieces to our square piece with our Handheld Stapler - so cute!!

The next step... we used our new Chalkboard Paper - this paper is so cool!! It's super-thick and looks just like a chalkboard! We stamped our sentiment "There is always Something to be Thankful for" in Whisper White Craft Ink and then punched it out with our Note Tag Punch. This fun stamp can be found in the You Brighten My Day Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set (also FREE with a $50 order).

Finally, we added a Coastal Cabana button (found in the Best Year Ever Sale-a-Bration Accessory Pack - yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration!) and some Black Baker's Twine
