I'm ready for Thanksgiving...almost. It'll be here before we know it, that smell from the turkey cooking in the oven, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and the sounds of your home bursting at the seams from family and friends, I can hardly wait. This year we are celebrating Thanksgiving at our home and it's been a tradition to do just that every year. We have the quintessential "family" day, my husband cooks the turkey, my mom makes the stuffing, I make the Sunday crunch cookies, my sister makes the bread and so on. Turkey at noon, football with everyone in the backyard, naps and a late night turkey sandwich, can it get any better than that? Michele from Purple Onion Designs, asked me to be a part of her special Holiday Design Team and how could I say no? I love Purple Onion stamps and have been using them since way back when, when Self-Addressed was the number 1 kit club and for good reason...they ROCK!! Well, when she so graciously sent me some of her newest Thanksgiving stamps, I knew just what to make with them. We're going neutral this year, so I basically just used kraft and white cardstock to make my designs, everything from an invitation, to the placecards to a little gift box that will look so pretty on white plates to display a little gift of gratitude all sitting on our white table, complete with white pumpkins. :) Enjoy! And be sure to check the Purple Onion blog for more amazing designs from all the other girls on the team...there's a ton of inspiration there, you won't want to miss..just click here.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all continue to have a very blessed November! :)
These are so so fun and awesome Hilary!
