Fall Scarecrow and Vintage Wishbone Kids

I love fall and Thanksgiving!   The cool weather, the colors and the Thanksgiving dinner.  

This will be the first year since Louisa was born that they've lived close enough to come for Thanksgiving.  Can't wait to have them and get back to fixing our traditional goodies.  Pecan Pie, anyone?

Scarecrows are perfect for fall, of course.  I've had this one for a year and finally had time to create a card.  I've combined images from several stamp sets to create the scene.

Had so much fun coloring all these sweet images!

Speaking of sweet, aren't these kids adorable?  Love the huge wishbone.  I created a Z-fold card that when opened reveals more of the image and that cute turkey. 

A band of vellum keeps it closed.

You can download the kids below.  The download also includes the Make A Wish (slightly off the edge), so that if you want to make a card like this one, all you have to do is cut off the top portion of the paper and a little bit off the right side, then fold.

Are you like Louisa and her mommy and daddy planning to travel for Thanksgiving?  Or are you like me, cooking with everyone coming to you?

Make A Little Round Pumkpkin Card + Little Pilgrims and Turkey Printables + Squirrel Double Layered Tag

Hi there!  I'm getting ready to head to Savannah.  Hate the travel, but love to see Louisa and Lauren at the end.  I've got a couple of Thanksgiving images for you and a fun tag for a treat.

A cute turkey is a little hard to find, but I think this Turkey Pilgrim is pretty cute.  He's all ready for you to print out if you need a cute turkey for a Thanksgiving creation.

Sweet squirrel colored with copics and topping a scallop double layer tag.  The bag is filled with cinnamon pecans.

Here's a look at both tag layers.

Look at those cuties!  They sure hit my cute and sweet buttons.  And I love little round pumpkins.  So I translated that into a little round pumpkin card!

These are the little round pumpkin pieces.  
The card base is made by placing the circle die just a little above the fold, so when it's ran through the die machine a bit of the fold stays intact.  
I cut two round pieces one for the front of the card and one for the back.
The oval is almost the same height as the circle.
Tips:  Place the stem (I handcut mine) between the back of the white card base and the orange decorative paper.  Placing it on the back, keeps the stem from creasing when the card is opened.
Use distress ink around the edges of the circle piece and oval piece for more definition.

Easy Stenciled Backgrounds + Very Cute Pilgrims + TinyTownie

Cute, cute Pilgrim Kids!  Love this image - it seems to be a companion to THIS ONE from last year.  You can download it below for your Thanksgiving creations. 

It's got so much going on that a simple background works really well.

One color plaid background created with a stencil and stencil brush.

Talking about cute!  I love this Tiny Townie image, too.  

Here's a list of the copics I used to color her.  Very fun!

The stencil background for her is a little more busy and colorful.  The leaves are actually a stamp mixed in with the stenciled circles.  You can see a video I did with a similar background HERE.

Here's a sneak peek of Louisa's first birthday party and a couple of the things I made.  I made the party hats and the tutu on the bear.  We had the teddy bear in her room and she reached for it every morning and when she woke up from her naps.  I'll share more later...
So glad you stopped by!  Happy Creating!

We are Grateful, Thankful, Blessed... + Fox Box Printable

Confession:  I  love Thanksgiving!  Little things like cooking with Dennis - and planning it so that we can go to lunch together on Wednesday.  The doorbell ringing - knowing that it's Lauren and Paul.  The best turkey I ever ate and my favorite pecan pie.

Even the "Kid's Table" is a favorite.  I was at the kid's table for years - even after I got married.  We've had a Kid's Table a couple of times when Dennis' family came - then we had enough kids!  I always had a treat at each kid's place.

This Fox Box is perfect for the kid's table or just as a treat for a special someone.  So easy to do:  print, cut, score, fold, glue.  That fox is adorable in his pilgrim hat!   You can download the Fox Box below.

I just love this stamp set and the saying "I Love You A Bushel and a Peck."  This is a remake from a treat box I put together last year.  

Adorable little mouse!

Plaid, on top of plaid, on top of plaid?  You bet!  

Grateful, thankful, blessed...that's us this year, especially with Louisa (my sweet baby granddaughter)!

Oh, my gosh!  I can't believe it's time for Visions of Sugarplums already.  Mark your calendar.  Fabulous prizes and always wonderful Christmas inspiration!   See you here December 4th for the fun...
