Giving Thanks layout (for BBTB2 and Exploring Cricut)

Thanksgiving is coming right up and it's a Thanksgiving turkey challenge at BBTB2 and a Count Your Blessings Thanksgiving challenge at Exploring Cricut this week!  I combined both challenges,  making a layout for my Thanksgiving pictures with the Celebrate with a Flourish cartridge.  I embossed Mr. Turkey and the cornucopia with the Swiss Dots folder on my Cuttlebug for some extra texture, although it didn't show up very well in the pictures, unfortunately.  The beautiful paper is from an old Bo Bunny collection left over from last year (I've kind of been paper-hoarding these last bits of it....probably need a twelve step program or something, lol!).




Cricut:
Celebrate with a Flourish-all cuts
Paper-Bo Bunny Cider prints, CTMH solids
Swiss Dots embossing folder
brown chalk ink

Whipping up a turkey for our challenges will be a lot easier than whipping up a turkey for Thanksgiving, so I hope you will join in with a Thanksgiving project!  I will be working at the hospital on Thanksgiving day, so someone else will have to do the turkey cooking at our house this year-fingers crossed that they will save me some leftovers, lol!
