Turkey Treat Boxes

 We are looking forward to our Thanksgiving meal with our precious family! How about you? It's a crazy time and many people aren't able to get together this year. Our group is small, but very close and I'm so thankful we can still make it work. 

I thought I would take a minute and share these turkey treat boxes that I made for my grands last year. The box is from Design Space. It's called a "fry box". After cutting the box, I ran it through my cuddle bug to make it look like feathers. The eyes are two different circle punches. I cut a few feathers from various patterned paper scraps in different colors,  then free handed a gobble and beak. If you don't like the idea of free-handing, you could easily use a triangle for the beak and enlarge and stretch a comma for the gobble. Remember you can stretch and morph the shapes. Get creative! 

Kids aren't always very excited about turkey and all the fixings, so these little peanut butter Ritz crackers gave them something fun to snack on.

Hope you enjoy your family this week!! We all have much to be thankful for...even in 2020.

Thanksgiving Treats

Here's a super quick little treat box I made for my grandchildren so they would have something to eat for Thanksgiving dinner other than their roll and deviled egg! Seriously, though, I wish they liked more things, but it's pretty typical of kids and even many adults that I know.

I think they turned out pretty cute! I filled them with mini peanut butter crackers and Goldfish.

Everything was cut with images I found in Design Space. I used the fry box and scored it myself (I need one of those scoring blades), then ran it through my embossing machine to make it look like feathers. The feathers were cut with various scraps I had, and  I used circle and triangle shapes for the eyes and nose. I found a gobble on a turkey image, ungrouped it, and sized it for my turkey face. Really pretty simple and pretty darn cute. It doesn't stand up especially well, but that doesn't bother me.

Hope your Thanksgiving is blessed with family, food, and fun! Take time to be grateful and count all of your blessings! 

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Journey"

The next day, we headed off across the state to the Sequoia National Park. The scenery changed very quickly as we headed away from the coast. We took some great pictures of the dry dessert like landscape on our way.

Even though this was a completely different color pallet than we'd seen the last few days, it was beautiful in it's own way....with beautiful browns, golds, and oranges set against the pretty blue sky.

 The locals were enjoying the cool Kaweah River below and we stopped for a few photos before finishing our drive up to the Sequoia National Park.

The paper is Little Yellow Bicycle's "Travel" along with the feathers I cut from Fancy Pants "Summers End". I layered them in the corner, popping up the smaller ones. The Chevrons were cut with my SU photo corner punch, and the title is from Cricut's Graphically Speaking

Thanks for stopping by today. More California layouts to come...

Double scrapbook layout - "Heart Blessing"

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?? My groceries are bought and I'll be starting to whip up all of our favorite sides and desserts over the next few days!

 Last year, we enjoyed having the family here with us too. We are so blessed to have them so close and be able to spend every holiday together!! The food, if I do say so myself, was marvelous and the memories even more sweet than the pecan pie!

 The paper is from Bo Bunny. I used a Sizzix embossing folder and my Fiskars border punch for the strip down the middle. The title font is Cricut's Lyrical Letters cartridge.

 The leaf outline is from Accent Essentials. The feather stamp is Glitz Design, but the larger feather was hand drawn and cut. I fringed it with Martha Stewart fringe scizzors.

We are looking forward to another family time of giving thanks to our Lord for the many blessings he gives us each day. This year, we will celebrate our new grandson's first Thanksgiving! We're so thankful for our sweet growing family!! There's always room to pull up another high chair. =)

Enjoy your family and remember God's goodness in your life.
