Happy Thanksgiving!

I enjoy watching YouTube videos - not only crafty ones, but also all things culinary!  I won't make you watch any of those cooking videos today but do yourself a favor and check out Tina Smith of Cards and Coffee Time -  if you don't subscribe yet, do that, too!  She's a great teacher and her step-by-step methods helped make my card today way easier that I thought it would be.   

This set from Papertrey Ink was part of the massive collection I received when I was their guest designer in August.  I ran out of time to use their Pumpkin House, but I am remedying that today - thanks to Tina's card on the Papertrey Ink YouTube channel on Tuesday.  Thanks, Tina!

Just in case you wonder where the best pumpkin, or apple pies come from...


Wishing you warm harvest blessings... happy Thanksgiving!

This just couldn't be sweeter! I appreciate the connection to more inspiration (glad you didn't connect me with cooking videos - I fall as a cook!). Wishing you a lovely holiday and please know that I am so grateful for you and all of your wonderful inspiration!

I just love this to bits, Michele! It reminds me of an old Red Skelton sketch I saw as a little girl where he and his wife lived in a big pumpkin!

What a perfect little pumpkin house. Love the moon and stars, that reminds me of a Cat Stevens song. He was my hero in my youth and I have recently been watching him on You Tube. Sorry I digress, your card is fabulous xx

Happy Thanksgiving Michele! Oh my word, this card and it's scene are just adorable! I'm in love with that pumpkin house, the whimsical tree and the sweet moon and stars! It just doesn't get any cuter than this! Now I'm off to check out Tina Smith's YouTube channel as I watch a ton of YouTube as well. Probably more than I should! lol Hugs, Brenda

Very fairy tale-ish and oh so cute, Michele. So glad you could make use of that pumpkin die. I do watch Tina occasionally and enjoy her. I didn't watch this one though.

Well if Peter put his wife in this pumpkin she’ll she was one lucky lady! This is one of the most adorable cards ever! I am off to check out the
Video!

How wonderfully, adorably cute and I love it! PTI has some awesome stuff. I used a You Tube recipe for Thanksgiving dinner. I also get a lot from Pinterest. You'd think I didn't have a cupboard full of recipe books!

SO charming! I have that set and some other PTI sets with a zillion pieces and I think "Some day....." LOVE how your card turned out and LOVE Tina's YT channel, too!

What an adorable pumpkin house, Michele! The texture and shading add so much to the house. The gray moon and the background is so YOU! I hope you and Tom had a fun Thanksgiving!

I can't even stand how much I love this, Michele. I would like to live there. Do you think there is room for a ton of craft supplies and workspace?
