Happy Thanksgivukkah!

Happy Harvest

Happy Friday little piggies!  Hope you are all squealing with delight that the weekend in here!  Enjoy it before the Thanksgiving rush hits on Monday.

Today I have used this beautiful image from the Hambo Stamps Digital shop, Cornucopia.  It really made a pretty Thanksgiving/Happy Harvest card along with pretty paper and ribbon.  Wee Henry Turkey is available in digital too.  He is adorable!

Thank you for visiting!  I hope you all have a great weekend!  Don't spend too much time at the grocery store!

Turkey Trot

Free Birds!  Free Birds!  Free Birds!  Hopefully this little guy gets away!  Who likes turkey?  It is SOOOOOO good but I am seriously worried that it will put me to sleep just in time for Black Friday Shopping!  This cute little pilgrim is called Wee Henry Turkey by Hambo Stamps.  Wee Henry has sure picked a big bird for Turkey day!

Attitude of Gratitude

Hi Hambo Fans, this is Juliana with a Thanksgiving project for you!

I made some "I am thankful for..." cards using the Digi Stamp: Wee Henry Turkey.

Using Microsoft Word, I used the crop tool to get just the parts of the image I needed.  The sentiments that come with this image are great for a variety of uses!

I added a few horizontal lines and an outline, and "Viola!" a worthwhile pre-dinner activity!

Here is the cover:















And here is one of the cards (one will be at each plate):

At our Thanksgiving celebrations, the crowd is always ready to eat before the dinner is ready.  This activity will keep the discussion focused on what is truly important.

I hope you have (or in Canada, had) a great Thanksgiving this year!!

A Wee Turkey

Today is the 5th Wednesday of the month, so we will have a regular Bacon Bits post, and then the new challenge and winners of the Baby-Themed Challenge will be revealed November 6!

Happy Hump Day! 

Are you ready for Halloween tomorrow? For those of you who have kids, will you be trick or treating? I usually partake in this holiday with my kids, but this year, we have agreed to stay in, with the lights off and watch a movie together.  There are a couple of reasons for it - one, the boys now have braces and really can't enjoy the usual candies and already don't like the others, two, it is suppose to rain, and finally, we just want to do something completely different! :) How will you be spending the holiday?

Speaking of different, I am going to jump completely over Halloween and bring to you a creation for the next holiday in line - Thanksgiving.  Now, here's a holiday I love! Who doesn't? There is something so warm and cozy about Thanksgiving, don't you think?

I used Wee Henry Turkey for the main image and I just think he is the cutest!! He is colored in with Copics and cut out using a bookplate die.  He is then popped up over some fun paper by Little Yellow Bicycle's Acorn Hollow collection and coordinating stick pin.  I used a flourish die I had for an extra accent along with some metal gold dots and sheer ribbon.  

Check out the funny Thanksgiving sentiments here  along with a darling Turkey image.  Thanks for stopping in for some Hoedown inspiration!
