Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. As part of my friend's Thanksgiving Dinner, she asked me to create a "Give Thanks" Card for each person that is attending the dinner. The card is backed with white card stock. On the card stock is mounted ecru linen paper with the words: "I am thankful for  . . ." Each person is to write 10 things that they are thankful for and as dinner progresses, each person will read through their list to share with everyone. This has been a holiday tradition for her family but this year, my friend wanted to formalize the process so that each person can take their Give Thanks home as a hostess gift.

So, Happy Thanksgiving everyone and please be grateful for all that you have.

Menu Card

Sample Menu Card

This is the beginning of the menu card that my friend will be using tomorrow for her Thanksgiving Dinner. Unfortunately, I won't be there since I will still be in Japan but I have been preparing everything for her while I have been away. I will send her these menu cards in a PDF format and all she will have to do is print them out. This is the prototype and I will fill in the actual menu while I am overseas.

This post was actually schedule a week ago before the menu was finalized.

Thanksgiving Place Card. Week 47

So after weeks of trying, I have finally been able to cut a miniature version of the turkey that I have been working on. This turkey was glued to a pumpkin colored card stock and will be used for place cards for the holiday table. This turkey almost made me lose my mind.

UPDATE: This is a makeup card for the card that I missed on March 25th.

Thanksgiving

Today's project is a prototype for a card that I am developing for Thanksgiving. There are two variations of the basic business sized card. For the example above, I forgot to make some of the connectors for the letters "e" and "a" and the "k".

For the second prototype, I made the connectors and think that I prefer the second style over the first style. I will probably make the card out of a different color card stock rather than the black used here. I backed the card with a gold card stock. In the final edition, I will probably use patterned pattern.
