Blessings Jar

For thanksgiving this year I gave out handmade Blessing Jars.  I printed 20 scriptures onto paper and made a tag that says, "Messages to Inspire, Encourage and Comfort"  I put them into a mason jar and covered the top with fabric.  I put into a cellophane bag with a bow.

I hope they enjoyed receiving them as I did making them.

Thanksgiving Craft Project

Im sorry Im so late posting for November.  Regular life has had me super busy.  Her is a project I made with my senior craft group.  I used Tim holtz rosette die for the back, scallop for the inside wings, circle punches for the body, Boho flower punch for the feet and 1/2 heart punch for the gill.  I had everything pre cut and ran the pieces through the sticker maker.  They were able to put the project together very quickly.

Hat:  Tab Punch, Brim: Window Punch

Head:  Ornament Punch

Collar:  Scalloped Punch

Body:  2 1/2" Circle Punch

Wings:  Large Scalloped Punch

Thanks Giving Place Cards

Each year I make place cards for our Thanksgiving table.

For this project I used 4"x 12" piece of dark brown card-stock scored at 1", 6" and 11".  I folded on the score lines and put a piece of sticky strip to hold the bottom of the tent.  I added a 4"x 4 1/2" piece of designer paper.  I printed out the poem (below) using my computer and layered it on a 3 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of rust paper.  I used the Tim Holtz medium rosette with scrap paper.  I printed the names on the computer using MDS (My Digital Studio) Stampin up and punched them out with the 1 1/4" circle punch.  I layered onto a 1 3/8" punched rust circle.  I distressed the edges with brown ink.

Thanksgiving Layout

Last weekend I went to a scrapbook retreat in Wylie, TX.   Priceless Memories Retreat  The owner Rita was awesome and we all had a great time.  Most of the ladies were doing 2 page layouts so Sunday morning I decided to give it a try.  Here is the 1st of three layouts I did.  

For this page I stamped the letters Give Thanks on beige card stock.  I punched the letters out with a 1" circle punch.  I layered that on a 1 1/4" black circle.  I attached to a tag I cut on the Cricut (Wild West).  I added brads at the top and used pop dots for dimension. 

For this side I ran the beige scrap though my embossing folder (notepaper). I cut the tree with my Cricut and punched tons of leaves from scrap paper.

Thanksgiving Treat Bags

Today my friends Rona and Marie came over to help me make some Thanksgiving Treat bags. I plan to fill them with special treats and put one at each place setting on my Thanksgiving table. We bought the kraft bags at Hobby Lobby (party section) and used Cricut Thanksgiving cartridge to cut the turkey. The tags were cut with fabulous finds cartridge. The stamp was Stampin up Grateful Greetings set. I hope my guests enjoy them.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Pretzel Gifts

I made these gifts for my husband to give to his co-workers for Thanksgiving. Inside the bags are carmel and chocolate dipped pretzels. I made a simple paper topper with distressed edges to give it a masculine look.

Harvest Book

I created this little book for my friend Dawn to do as a project with her son's class. I created an easy to use template and put 4 tags inside that the kids could express things they are grateful for. Because it was a school project we couldn't include anything with a religious or holiday theme. I think it would be a great project for Thanksgiving. Please see the next posting for the templates.

Turkey candy holder

I used a powdered drink box as the base (crystal light), cut off the top, painted it brown, and glued leaves to the back. For the turkey I used a pear shape, circle, and wings cut with my Cricut. I painted the top of the google eyes with a copper sharpie to make him look tired. I filled the cellophane bag with candy and tied a knot. I just free handed the hat and feet. I'm planning to put these on my table for Thanksgiving.
