Leftover Turkey

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Here's a leftover turkey for you today.  The boys and I made these as favors for each person at our Thanksgiving table. 

Aaron kind of summed up his appreciation for the 'feast' by leaning back in his chair, slumping down, groaning and saying:  "I'm going to die."  Once he changed out of his good pants and into his loose sweat pants, he was fine and managed to go on to eat some pie.  I'll share some photos later.  
It is such a joy to be able to work on craft projects together with my grandchildren.  I hope to include Olive Jane in more of our projects as she gets older.  She's already into coloring and markers... big time!
Here's Aaron's Pilgrim costume from school.

I'll share more soon.  Right now, I'm busy getting ready for my Open House this Sunday!

Happy Thanksgiving

From my studio to you... Have a blessed day!   I am thankful for so many things... friends, family, my home, my furry babies, grandchildren, my church... and many more... all these in no particular order.  Today is a wonderful day to reflect on those blessings.  

I used the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies to create a pumpkin banner for my studio.

Remember all those wonderful leaves I made?  I was sure to make enough to use some on my pumpkins!  The Mossy Meadow ribbon is cut in half, to create a skinny ribbon to use with my project.

The boys and I are finishing up turkey favor boxes for today, using these same thinlits dies.  Come back soon and I'll share those.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Table Decor for Every Month of the Year, Part 4

Today, I'll be wrapping up this little series by sharing what I made for October, November and December.

For October, I used our wonderful little Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies.  They are in our current Holiday Catalog.  I love them!!!  I'll be sharing more ideas for using these in some of my future posts.  They have been super popular and I am constantly amazed and what people come up with using them.

I die cut the leaves, crumpled them, sponged them, added bits of VersaMark ink and sprinkled on a bit of gold EP and heat embossed them.  I then went over them again with the same ink and Iridescent Ice EP.  They are really pretty!
 

For December, I used our retired die to make the doves.  I actually cut 2 layers for each piece of Shimmery White CS and adhered them together, to make the dove more likely to hold up for future use.  I embossed the wings.  I love them!

I hope I've given you some good ideas to use for your own decor.  Any of these centerpieces can be adapted to make use of what you have in your own stash.  Enjoy!
