A season of THANKFULNESS......

THE TRUTH......the most important holiday....THANKSGIVING seems to be missed in the whole holiday roundup this time of year. The focus seems to be Halloween, which I can sooo do without, then we hop right into Christmas.

Over at Paper Issues....we are on a quest to SAVE THANKSGIVING!!! 

a good cause if I do say so myself.....

 My creation is a Mini Brag Book!!! just right for all those beautiful pictures of the fall and of THANKSGIVING DAY!!

I created this gatefold mini from an 8 x 8 Canvas Artboard cover cut with the AMAZING Zutter Kutter....dang that thing can cut!!I covered the artboard with a bag (loved the vintage look) and other vintage ephemera. 

I was at it again creating and coloring flowers and leaves (one of them is a prefab by Maya Road) using the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral and Tattered Leaves Die.

The Tim Holtz Corners just added such a wonderful touch to the corners!!

See those yummy torn up edges of the paper.......that would be the FABTACULAR Distrezz It All!!! ohhhhhh....love that look!!
So, put your Christmas creatin' aside for just a moment....and think on it....Thanksgivings not all about ALL THE YUMMY food (don't get me wrong....I can't wait for the mouth festivities to begin) but for being THANKFUL...what are you THANKFUL for???
 Link your creations up to the Paper Issues Blog....Can't wait to see the wonderfulness that you create!!

Scrappy Mail.......
