Designer Note: I love to decorate my table for Thanksgiving and this collection is just perfect to make place cards for all your guests! To make this project, I found the place card image in the Silhouette Studio store and cut it in heavy cardstock and then with my pretty patterned paper. I adhere the patterned paper to the cardstock to give it a bit more stability, then found a cute little turkey and cut him out using all the different patterned pieces. To make the turkey even MORE adorable, I added some fun googly eyes! This project can be a fun family project--have your kids help you put all the pieces together and remember to have FUN!
Another thing we have to be thankful for as a store existing in this glorious industry of ours--our Design Team!They have been absolutely fabulous this year, haven't they?! So our sincerest thanks goes out to Ashley, Caroline, Celeste, Emily, Janet, Lori, Mary Pat and Stephanie--you are all fabulous crafters and have really enhanced our stores with your talents!
And finally--there's our customers (and blog readers!) We just wouldn't be the store we are today without all of you and your continued support! We thank you for shopping with us, sharing with us and crafting with us!
Happy Week Before Thanksgiving, all!
Wonderful projects Mary Beth!
