Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Must be Tuesday!!! Thankful Wishes

The wonderfully talented Jeni  is our hostess this week for the Sassy Cheryl;'s Challenge and she has chosen, Thankful as the theme.  Here is my card:

I absolutely fell in love with this, Christmas Candy Cane Girl, last week when I saw it and knew that no matter what the theme this week I was going to use it.  Thanks for not choosing a snowman theme Jeni LOL!!!  I tried to keep the vintage feel of this with the colors and tone.

I got myself an early Birthday and Christmas present.  I have been wanting a Cricut Expression for a long time but when I went down to craft with Peggy a couple of weeks ago, has it been that long already?,  I made her show me what it could do with one, and I was sold.  What I love is that I bought the software so I don't have to buy all the cartridges, which would have put it out of my budget.  I have tried to find the Tim Holtz bird cage die  here in Omaha but it was never available when I went so I searched and found a SVG file with this bird cage and the cool thing is that I could re-size it to fit my card.   I also cut the I Love You sentiment with the expression.   I added handmade roses instead of a bird.

The reason I chose an I Love You sentiment is because I am sooo very thankful for my familiy, friends, DT family, and all of my blog followers who make me feel special,  and wanted to say Thank you and I Love you all.
