Oh, I LOVE Thanksgiving!! It’s my very favorite holiday of the year, with all the fabulous family time and none of the gift-giving stress that makes Christmas hard… Every year we travel to spend the day with family, and although I am very thankful not to have to clean my house, everyone brings “something” to the party, and I’m a terrible cook… No, really… I try hard, but I just don’t have the baking “knack” that my sister got… I keep saying that I’d be better if I had a “big girl mixer” you know… that beautiful KitchenAid mixers that I would LOVE to have… But honestly, I don’t know how much that would help… and I hate to spend that much on a kitchen appliance if it wouldn’t really help!! On the bright side, I am very crafty!! So, this year for Thanksgiving, I’m bringing candy filled treat boxes!! They are made very simply from one piece of 8.5×11 card stock and some fun little embellishments for the front… They are being featured on the Scrapbook News and Review blog where you can find a detailed tutorial on how to make them yourself…
Lots of Projects!

Happy for You Card @ Scrapbook News and Review
I’m so happy to have my premier project over on the blog at Scrapbook News and Review!! I was thrilled when I got the email inviting me to be a part of their Front Page and Blog staff, and this is one of the first projects I made. The feature is the Friday Color Palette and Sketches, I hope you’ll go over to the blog and see all the wonderful projects that are posted everyday!!
Check out my card based on the July 27th Color Palette!
When I saw the color palette, I immediately thought of a Creative Memories paper pack that I had, I pulled it out and cut 1 inch strips and placed them on the diagonal. Then I pulled out my {favorite} The Stamps of Life stamps and found one that would fit perfectly!! The Twinery twine added the perfect final touch. Come over to Scrapbook News and Review and check out all the fabulous projects posted!
