Turkey Fun!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Calm and little stress. You can make your holiday funny, serious or incorporate it with a birthday (as our family has a few days before).
This is a fun turkey! Some stamping, some paper piecing.

Close to My Heart Playful Petals stampset to make some tail feathers, and Dash Dot CTMH font for my sign. Cardstocks are CTMH sunflower, orange, terracotta .

Picked individual petal stamps for feathers and cut them out. Various hole punches for holes in beaks, eyes, etc. Sanded some edges for a stronger look. I free handed my turkey but you can certainly find one on line or in a child's coloring/ story book.

You could make your sign say what ever you want.
Examples are:
One Turkey to another
Happy Birthday Turkey
Eat Pork
Go Vegan
Easy to use for a place card, card, scrapbook page, or other Thanksgiving craft.

In Memory: Baby's Memorial Layout

In Memory of my cousins precious baby, Chad.
Angels sometimes bless us~ ever so briefly.

An exert from the vellum journaling :
"You will not see me now,
just know that I still live.
I'm following in your tracks,
just tiny steps behind."

The entire album will be made with Twitterpad paper pack. Layouts are titled and left with much open space for the parents personal feelings, thoughts, or journaling. Below is "When I held you in my arms"

Please keep the family in your prayers.
