A Vintage Thanksgiving

Hello!  Today I have a vintage Thanksgiving card to share with you for our new challenge at My Sheri Crafts.  Sandy has challenged us to Create a card featuring a Pilgrim, Indian, Cornucopia, Pumpkin, Turkey, or Pie .

I found this cute vintage picture in my files from CWC..  It made up a super quick and easy card!

I added a little bit of glue on some of the leaves and the hatband, the used a pretty gold embossing powder.

The poem on the image is this:

A Pumpkin I bring you for Thanksgiving Day,

With wishes that plenty may e'er with you stay.

I added a strip of cloth trim  and a scrap of leaf paper and there you go!

Thanks for stopping by and I sure hope you will check out the DT's creations and join us this week!

Thankful Always

Thanksgiving Diorama 2015

It's time for a new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts and it's gonna' be another fun one!!!!  Sheri has challenged us this week to "Include a Tag Shaped Item in Your Project."  The past few years I've made a diorama at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I thought this was the perfect time to make one for Thanksgiving.  

 I just love these swirly cuts from Phrases and Celebrate with Flourish from Cricut!  The leaves are also Cricut cuts from Flower Shoppe.  The tags are a Cricut cut also, but now I can't find them in the subscription search to let you know which cartridge. I guess I was lucky to find them in the first place!

The gold ribbon came from Wal-Mart.  I've had it for a LONG time!



After lots of inking, gluing and other fun stuff, voila'! I love it!

I had lots of messy fun inking these tiny little leaves, but I really wanted them to be multi-colored like most of the real ones.  I like how they turned out!  


I hope you'll join us this week at My Sheri Crafts!  See you there!

Owl as Turkey Thanksgiving Card

Hi!  I hope you all are prepared for the COLD weather that we are expecting this week.  Sounds like a good time to stay in the craft room to me!

It's time for a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts today!  Sandy is hosting the challenge this week and she chose a theme of "It's Turkey Time!" - add a Turkey to your card/project."  I recently purchased this cute little Silhouette cut of "Owl Dressed As a Turkey" with this challenge in mind.  I think he's adorable!

I was a little disappointed though, that I couldn't get my machine to cut him out after printing.  I kept getting the message "Registration Failed".  I thought that meant it couldn't read the registration marks because the black ink was getting low, so I put in a new cartridge and the ink was nice and dark, but it still failed.  Any ideas from anyone????  So, I cut him out by hand.  Then I used a black marker around the edge.  I found this scrap of paper in my stash. I don't even know where it came from but I thought it was perfect for him!  I added an oval in a brown, marbled paper (another scrap) to help separate the ginghams a little bit, then popped him up with foam dots.  A little bit of orange burlap braided ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon with 3 brown flower brads and there you go!

 I stamped a pretty "Happy Thanksgiving" inside, inked the edges, distressed the front a little with brown and he's ready for the holiday!

Please go over to My Sheri Crafts and check out all the great projects there, then join us!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you at MSC!
