    Onto the third Project.


    I used the following supplies for the centerpiece:
    9" willow wreath from Dollar Tree
    2 5' "Floral Garden" fall leaves garlands from Dollar Tree
    $3 Mainstays candle from Walmart 
    EK Success vellum stickers for the fall maple
     leaves on the tag (WM-08)
    Studio G stamp - Happy Thanksgiving
    Studio 112 (by K and Company) $1 stamp for the leaves inside the card
    Black embossing power and a heat gun on all the stamping
    Cloud 9 Fall paper stack
    Pop dots for the tag
    floral wire to secure the garland to the willow wreath.



    The wreath is super simple to make and pretty inexpensive.  Take the willow wreath and wrap the fall leaves garland around it.  Secure the ends with a little floral wire. Add the candle to the center (make sure to use a glass jar candle or hurricane to protect against fire danger).



    For the tag, I just made a 3" x 6" piece of card stock (craft colored) and folded it in half to make a 3" x 3" tag.  I made the front decoration by matting the fall swirl paper (2 1/2" x 2 1/2") onto black card stock (2 3/4" x 2 3/4").  I then added the stickers and embossed the "Happy Thanksgiving" using black embossing powder and a heat gun. Mount the whole thing up on pop dots.


    On the inside of the tag, I added a scrap of the paper and card stock.  Then I embossed the fall leaves in black. Punch a small hole in the top corner and you are done.

    This whole project cost about $8 -- including the stamps!!

    Okay, that's my project for the second day of the blog hop.  Please hop along to the next stop to see what Jen has up her wonderfully crafty sleeves:

    On to the second Project.

    Today I have a group of cards to share with you.  I used Create a Critter for all of the cards.  
    The vellum background is AWESOME, but I can't tell you who makes it.  I snagged a whole stack of embossed vellum sheets at a garage sale this summer!! The ribbon is from Big Lots, the "Happy Thanksgiving" stamp is Studio G. I made the "Gobble 'til you wobble!" on my computer.





    And card #2:




    And card #3 is my favorite:
    It's a z-fold card using Dollar Tree twine, Michael's $1 black buttons and Cloud 9 Fall paper stack.

    Fabulous Fall Blog Hop: Day 1

    I want to say "Thank you" to everyone coming to hop with us!! Every wonderful and talented lady sharing with us for the hop is thankful for your visit!! 



    Please remember to leave comments for the chance to win blog candy at the end of this three day hop!

    (donated by Robyn at My Pink Stamper, Thanks so much!!)


    On to the first Project.

    This one is centered on family thankfulness!  It is a "we are thankful" jar.

    The supplies I used include: 
    A fall paper pack from Oriental Trading Company.
    Doodlecharms cartridge (for the leaves)
    Just Because Cards (for the sentiment frame)
    My computer and printer for the sentiment
    A recycled mini paint can - you can find them at the craft stores too.
    A white gel pen






    For this jar to work perfectly, I add LOTS of blank leaves (BO feature on Doodlecharms) and my kids, my husband, and I add the things we are thankful for.  We each fill out a leaf and add it to the "thankful jar".  I like my kids to add at least one leaf a week.  Ususally they add two to three leaves a week.




    On Thanksgiving, we'll pull out one leaf at a time and read all the things we are thankful for. Sometimes they are "my toys", "my wii games" etc. but more often than not, they are things like "my friends" , "my teachers" and "my family".








    Okay, that's my project for the first day of the blog hop.  Please hop along to the next stop to see what Jen has up her wonderfully crafty sleeves:
