Isn't this cute?!
The idea came from Cathy Roy, a talented Stampin' Up demonstrator. This is one of the projects we will be doing with the families at the Ronald McDonald House this weekend. It should be a lot of fun making these with the kids. :-)
(I used the two-tags Stampin' Up Big shot die)
This is a photo of one of our 3 Thanksgiving tables. We had 18 people this year! I also started a Thanksgiving gratitude journal. You can see it sitting on the left side of the table. I will showcase that at a later time. (I am still working on some of the decorations on it)
I love Thanksgiving because it is the holiday where most all of our family comes over to share time together. Our oldest son is still in Italy, so he wasn't here, but we did get to talk with him over Skype, so at least he was part of the day!
The grandparents were not able to be with us this year, because traveling is a little challenging for them, but they were in our thoughts.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Wishing everyone a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!
Here is a luminaria that I designed for my recent holiday decorations class. In the top photo you can see what it looks like in daylight, and then the lower photo shows what it looks like when you put a tealight (battery operated) to light it up.

This was a bonus for my customers at the Holiday card stamp camp. These cute scalloped edged bags are available in our Holiday mini catalog on page 13. They are very sturdy bags with a cardboard liner at the base. They are 10 for $4.95.
This is the final card for my stamp camp. I used the Northern Hearts Hostess stamp set on the front of the card. It also includes a wreath and 3 snowflakes. If you would like to earn this set, contact me to book a workshop. With a $150 workshop or personal order, the set can be yours, free! (the greeting inside the card is from the Occasional Quotes Hostess level 3 stamp set which can be earned with a $500 workshop)
Isn't this card lovely? I used a special technique to get the Marina Mist background on these snowflakes. Want to learn how? Contact me to book a workshop and we can incorporate it into my demonstration!
Notice how the rhinestones are blue? I just colored them with a sharpie. That way I can make my rhinestones any color that I want! Fun!

This is another card we created in the stamp camp that I held on Sunday. You can sort of see the Shimmery card stock that I used for the ornament and greeting. In person, it has a greater impact.
This is one of the cards we will be creating in my Holiday Stamp Camp today. We are making 10 cards (2 each of 5 styles) and a bonus gift bag. This coming week I will share the remaining cards from the camp with you.
This card is called Faux inlay because the ornaments are actually separate pieces of card stock that were adhered prior to running the top card through a Big Shot embossing folder. The folder presses it all in together and makes it look as though it is all one. The greeting and greens are stamped prior to running through the folder as well. Then it is adhered to a card and the bow is added. Simple, yet elegant.

This is one of the projects that I did with the families at the Ronald McDonald House this past Saturday.
We also did this very simple card with a Thanksgiving greeting inside.
It is always so rewarding to be able to share with the families there. I got to practice my Spanish a bit--I don't know the words for stamping and such, but we managed just fine. :-)
