Thanksgiving / Thank you



This week at Jitterbuggin', the theme is Let's Give Thanks. Sheri asked us to make Thank You cards. Rules include follow the sketch, add a cricut cut, and emboss something. This is Thanksgiving week and I am truly blessed and have many reasons to be thankful -- family, friends, good health! I am thankful for all my new friends in blogging land and my friends on the Cricut Messageboard!! Wishing each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

With the pretty Fall colors, my background paper has many words representing Thanksgiving....fall leaves, Family, Happy Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie, etc. And I had to cover most of the words!!

Card size is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Walk in my Garden - Sunflower

Lacey Florals - Thanks and ovals.

Cuttlebug - Swiss dots on sunflower and Bloom and Dots on background mat.

Turkey Talk!!



Hi everyone! Welcome to my new followers!

This week at Jitterbuggin', Sketch 24, Let's Talk Turkey, the feature is the turkey! We are to follow the sketch, add a Cricut turkey, and add a button or two or three---

For my turkey, I used the Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter cutting it at 3 inches. To add dimension, I embossed the turkey with the Cuttlebug folders Swiss Dots and Houndstooth. Added a bow and eyes from my stash. Hmm, maybe this dressed up turkey does not realize what is for lunch!!

For the sentiment, I used Lacy Labels for Thanks and the scallop backgrounds.

Reminded of words to a beautiful Thanksgiving song we sing at church, I used the Script cuttlebug folder to emboss the background mat. May we all be reminded daily of our many blessings!!

I recently bought the pretty paper at HL...thought it would be perfect for this card, but almost covered it! Cannot see the cute turkey that is also printed on the paper!!
