We're at the half way point for this month's challenge at Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. We start the challenge on the first Wednesday of every month, and then post a second time at the half way point. So there is still plenty of time to play. This time the challenge is "Thankful". This could be a Thanksgiving card, Thank You card, or a card for or about something you are thankful for. Autumn is my favorite time of year. It always makes me sentimental about all the things I am thankful for. My birthday, anniversary, the birth of my children, all took place in November. Serendipity was my first design team appointment - also in November. I'm grateful for all my blessings and the wonderful things I've been able to experience. Life is good!
Mary (the owner of Serendipity) likes to give the design team an extra challenge when we're making our samples for the challenges. This time we were asked to "repurpose" something. I won't even begin to tell you all the trouble that gave me. Where to begin? It just seemed so "open ended" to me. SO many different household items to choose from. I thought about coffee filters, cupcake liners, aluminum foil, bubble wrap, canning jar lids. ...
Our special guest this month is - my very sweet friend Lisa Minckler from You Made Me Ink! Lisa is the QUEEN of repurposing things in the most wonderful and unexpected ways! She always amazes me!! I hope you'll stop by and tell her hi!

Jeanne,
I LOVE these car--so colorful! You know how much I love that owl too -- he's on my Christmas list! Beautiful cards and the paint squares are pretty smart!
Seriously??? Paint swatches??? I LOVE THAT!! I can't believe this had you stumped...you pulled out a fabulous idea. I nearly wet myself when I saw that you kept the name of the colors on there too.....OMG....LOVE THAT!!
These are AWESOME Jeanne. Seriously, seriously COOL idea.
Stores worldwide are going to be bombarded with salivating crafty women looking for samples!!
Great job my friend. So cool!

My favourite owl - such a gorgeous card, love it. And those leaves are stunning.
I really like the way you've used the paint swatches - brilliant idea!
Oh I LOVE how bright and fun these cards are! Heading out the our little Ace Hardware asap!
I have a stack of these paint paper as well, the man told me to take as many as I want ..I forgot that I had them.
Both your cards are wonderful Jeanne.....But that second card is jaw dropping gorgeous!!!!! I love the offset colors and squares.... LOVE It!
Come on down, you can come play anytime! Lisa said it beautifully, seriously?! I had a hard time too, but you really pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this one! Awesome idea, and of course your swatches are happy colors!
I love these bright colors together!
