[Motivational Monday] Happy Labor Day!

Wouldn't you like to have a Labor Day Celebration? It's such a great time of the year to get all of your family and friends together to celebrate not only this national holiday but a "seasonal transition marker". I found these great ideas at Thoughtfully Simple and was inspired to host a party of my own.

[I love how the color theme is white. Such a clean look. It's a refreshing spin on the traditional "red white & blue" theme. All of these ideas would be perfect for entertaining your guests outside as the weather is cooling off from the hot summer.]

Happy Labor Day! :0)

[Scrapperday: Thank You Cards]

There are so many times when someone does something for you or helps make a difference in your life. With this act of kindness, a thank you card is in order. It's such a nice way to show how much you appreciate them. People are always doing something nice for me and my family, so I like to keep a bunch of thank you cards on hand for such an occasion. Here is one I just recently made:

[This card was inspired by Kristina Werner at her KWerner Design blog. The "Thank You!" stamp I bought in the dollar section at Michael's (my favorite section of the store!). I embossed the stamp white to give it more depth. The butterfly I printed off from The TomKat Studio blog from Kim's Mother's Day designs. Then I tacked it on with a small silver brad. The background papers were just from some scraps I had on hand. I added some dimensional adhesives on the scalloped edge strip to give it a little interest. Added some faux stitching with a white gel pen and voila!]

I will be linking this card up to these fun linky parties!

Here are some other thank you cards I have done in the past just in case you missed them from my previous posts:

Hey everyone! Well, after conducting a poll last month on who would follow me on Facebook and Twitter, I've decided to go ahead and join both. I believe the poll was pretty split and wasn't leaning one way or the other, so I figured I would give those of you who did want to follow me a chance. :0)
