Quality Family Time-Favorite Things Friday

2 Comments / Just Because Cards / November 26, 2021

I hope you are all enjoying your holiday weekend. One of my new favorite Thanksgiving traditions is having Thanksgiving at my daughters and then as a family, we decorate her apartment for Christmas. The day is typically filled with decorating fun, a few drinks, dinner and of course games.

When the kids were younger, we would typically decorate the beginning of December and then watch the Christmas movie “Elf”. While they have grown up and moved on, I have not. I still love that movie, but it will indeed need to wait for later in the month.

Here is a picture of my daughter’s Christmas tree. What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

Beauty of the Earth-Thanksgiving

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / November 24, 2021

The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack is perfect for this time of year. Today, I paired this DSP with the Word Wishes Dies to create a simple fall/Thanksgiving card.

I love this paper! It it double sided and some of the sheets are perfect for creating scrapbook borders.

**Beauty of the Earth DSP 155841 $11.50**

I began with a Cinnamon Cider card base and a 3½ x 5¼” piece of Beauty of the Earth DSP. To the right side of the DSP I added a strip of Cajun Craze cardstock.

I used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Word Wishes Dies to crop Happy Thanksgiving with Black cardstock. This was a super easy card and if you notice it has no stamping at all!
