Happy Friday everyone! I’m sure quite a few of you are out braving the sales and masses at the mall today. I decided to stay as far away from the stores as possible. I much prefer the quietness of my house and the peace. It is such a beautiful day here. Weather is in the 60’s. Hardly feels like the end of November. But since it truly is the day after Thanksgiving, it is definitely time to be thinking about Christmas. So, I am busy today taking down all my turkey decorations. I have boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations to start hauling up from the basement, too. But with weather like we’re having today, it’s honestly a bit hard to get in the mood!
But before I try to get back at it, I have a couple more projects to share using my November kit from Paper-Playground. The first is a card I made from the mini place cards I used on my Thanksgiving table. If you all didn’t get a chance to see them, I have a tutorial for the table settings here.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, why not recycle those place settings into another use? And this was SO easy to do. Just lift off the letter stickers from your place card and center your piece onto a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base. I added a simple stamped greeting, and the card is done. How easy is that?
And my last project is pictures from my birthday this past weekend.
This gorgeous flocked Paperie paper from Making Memories is my favorite piece from this kit. Love it, love it! I still have one more page idea up my sleeves with this November kit and my new 2008 Thanksgiving decoration. I hope to have that to show you all soon.
Have a great day everyone!
Oooohhhhhh … the flocked paper is absolutely stunning. Thanks for the idea of recycling the placecards — I never would have thought of that.
Enjoy your day of peace & quiet. *Bless*
Great card and layout, Audrey!

Beautiful creations Audrey. Love the card, it is so elegant. I braved the shopping today – I think you were smart to stay home: )
Audrey, the card is stunning. It feels so rich and regal!!!!! You LO is wonderful as usual. What great pics to work with! I too stayed away from the malls. I am not one that likes to be pushed and shoved. We are not spending near as much as usual, so when I do shop, I need my senses about me. I saw the news yesterday and people acted like nut cases, running and knocking one another down to get into Walmart! No me, that is just plain crazy. You guys are having warm weather. We keep talking about moving, and I would love to head to the Carolina’s. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!!
gorgeous creations!!
Your card is beautiful! Love the layout and flocked paper too. I stayed away from the stores also, too crowded for me!
