For this weekÂ’s CAS challenge, honoring Emily aka stampingout. To CASE Emily (awesome CAS gallery!) I took elements of In Memory Of Beverly-CC402 by stampingout at Splitcoaststampers and Believe-WT360 by stampingout at Splitcoaststampers. Also for JellybeanÂ’s inspiring words hycct challenge and this weekÂ’s ways to use it challenge, a name game, to use a word starting with the same letter as our usernames to build a project. I chose Thanks. IÂ’ve learned that sincere gratitude is the healthiest way to live my life, and thereÂ’s SO MUCH in life for which to be thankful. Even in the yuckies. The apostle Paul directs us Christians to be thankful in ALL things.
Oh, and a trio of tree panels. It's all one stamp image, separated by negative masks.
My username is a combination of tesseract (a geometry concept and an idea from a favorite piece of childrenÂ’s literature) and tessellations (another geometry process, repeating shapes over a surface, like quilting, which is my other addiction), ending with a connection to my alma mater, the University of Oregon. Go Ducks!

Oh you nerdy girl! I'm married to a mathematician, so I had to know about discrete, functions, tessellations,chaos.......and on and on. I love how you got your name! Your card is beautiful in the three parts. I need to try that with a big stamp!

I like your thankful theme and the pretty card. And such an interesting name you have with the geometry concepts and processes. Never heard of them but then I didn't do well in geometry. TFS
