When I mentioned to my DD that we would probably not be able to invite her family to our Thanksgiving dinner this year, her first reaction was disappointment and her second, an instant later, was joy in anticipation of cooking her own turkey and getting to eat, "all those yummy leftovers!" There's the silver lining! It IS going to be a different holiday season this year, but we'll just keep looking for those silver linings and make it the best we can. Right?
Last year I made these cute matchbook treat holders for everyone. They contain a Ghirardelli treat and the sentiment "Gobble til you wobble!" The turkey, naturally, is on a wobble spring and I loved everyone's reaction to the wobbly turkey!
This year, I had to return to card sending for the holiday and here, after many changes, is my final version:
Designer paper from Carta Bella 'Hello Autumn'
Sunny Studio Pretty Pumpkins stamps and dies
Sunny Studio mat Frilly Frames Lattice
Sunny Studio sentiment from Bountiful Autumn embossed with gold Stampendous embossing powder.
Inside:
Sentiment from Design Space plus text - Folk Art Festival
Version 1 - Distress Oxides for a subtler look on the bolder paper.
Version 2 - Distress Ink for a darker, bolder look on the lighter paper.
Time to clean up the chaos and start on some Christmas cards. Happy Thanksgiving! : ) Christine
