Happy Monday Krafters!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is Thursday? Where did the time
go? This is my favorite time of year. I love to take this day to really reflect
on all the things my family and I have been blessed with. Even through the
trials and tribulations of life, we still have something to be thankful for.
Another thing I love to do is cook! I will admit, I let the
food, especially the turkey, be the decoration/centerpiece. I usually do not decorate
for Thanksgiving. This year however, I felt compelled to do a little sumptin,
sumptin J. I
decided to dust of some of the unloved Cricut cartridges and do a small
project.
First I used Wall Décor and More for the place card. I also
used this cartridge for the font. I forgot there was a font on this cartridge!
Anywho, I spelled my daughter’s name and centered the name on the card. Do not
weld! Since it was kind of plain, I used some of my border embossing folders to
embellish it a bit. Then I added a piece of pattern paper behind the name.
Next I added the flourished turkey and the “napkin” ring on
the mat (it was an image on the cartridge that I made into a ring LOL) from the
Thanksgiving cartridge. The ring was cut out of the same pattern paper that is
on the place card (it matches my kitchen). Then I cut the turkey from another
pattern from that same stack by DCWV.
I thought I would take this project one step further and
make a napkin holder. I cut this image twice (without the hat) from the
Create-a-Critter cartridge. I formed the box out of the pattern paper for
stability.
Although the turkey will still take center stage, this
project is sure to get a few smiles! I hope you enjoyed today’s project. What
are your plans for the holiday?
From my family to yours, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And don’t eat
too much :-P Kenya~
