I really like the colors in this one and the gentle reminder to always be grateful.

Happy weekend, Tangie fans!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I thought to go back in time, and if you are looking for
the perfect kit for this season, here is a suggestion.
It is one of my favorites ever,
a collab between Tangie and none other than Sherrie!
A few inspirational layouts

Enjoy the weekend and I’ll see you next time!
Oops! I forgot to post Tangie’s page last week for the prompt on Which movie star no longer living would you cast to star in a movie about your own life? Please forgive me Tangie!!!! (I think she was in Colorado and didn’t even notice. LOL)
Here is her amazing page that has been finished since September!

Ok, now onto new business!!! We’ve got a brand-new technique focus for you this week:
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday if you celebrated Thanksgiving in the U.S., and also survived Black Friday shopping, if you were brave enough. I haven’t been out shopping in several years, I have decided to do all my shopping online, if not making things by hand. I am too old to have patience for the crowds at the stores nowadays!
If you’d like to find some zen after the shopping craziness, try your hand at our Technique Focus this week – use Studio Tangie elements to create Cluster Embellishments. This awesome idea came from our own ingenius Creative Team Member Leslie aka lharvey81.
The idea is to take elements from a kit, or different kits, and create clusters that you’ll have ready to use when the mood strikes you to make a page! The page will come together all that much FASTER!

Hope
To see the road before me
To always keep hope alive
Despite obstacles that block my way
To follow the Golden path
of beauty
of heart
Despite discouragement and frustration
to always keep hope alive

La Luna, Holder of Watery Wisdom
Please come to my dreaming body,
Fill me with fluidity and power of the tides, the soft light
Pouring the depth of understanding into my soul, allowing my being
to take winged flight.
La Luna, Luminescent grace,
traversing my inner galaxy, whisper of love into my ear,
the music of the unknown.
