Thankful Challenge

The challenge for the week at Totally Stampalicious is to make a project or card with the Thankful theme. Well, I have to admit that the theme is a stretch for this project, but it was the first thing that popped into my head, so I went with it. I immediately thought of this cute Shopping Cart Stella image from TS when I saw these 5 x 7 inch photo sleeves to go on the fridge. I thought it would make a great place to jot down those things you need to pick up from the store. While I hate grocery shopping, I am so thankful that my hubby and I have the means to purchase our own groceries and provide our own transportation to the places we need to go. So many people don't have these options.
The colors for my project were inspired by the shirt that was worn by one of my students on Friday. I just loved it and he was so tickled that I wanted to take a pic of it to use as a color guide for my stamping that night. I used BoBunny papers to match up the colors that you can see in my student's shirt below:


The blue-ish green in his shirt is a little brighter than those in the papers, but it works for me. Nestabilities and an EK Success punch provided the shapes for the project. The clear sleeve works perfectly with a dry erase marker that is kept handy with a couple of Velcro dots.
