The Paper Players #762

Hello, my friends!  Gosh it seems like an age since I've written a post OR made a card!  But we are home and that mountain of laundry is nearly done!  

LeAnne's theme at The Paper Players #762 is a good one to get me back into my studio this morning...


I wonder if she knew I'd jump at the chance to make that 
bottom right corner come to life?  


You'll have to take my word that this card will indeed contain a message
of thanks into the inside! lol


  • My 'plate' was created by cutting a circle and then debossing a rim using a smaller circle die and my rubber mat.  Then set the table on woodgrain DSP.
  • The 'napkin' is a simple piece of grey that I gave the look of linen using my trusty SU Subtle Texture folder.  
  • The sticks, branches, and leaves are from HoneyBee's Winter Greenery with a few 'berries' from my enamel dot stash.
  • To finish it off I tied a little SU linen thread [thanks, LeAnne] and added a sentiment from PTI's Thankful for Fall set.
Thanks, LeAnne, for getting me 'back on the horse' so quickly and painlessly!

Oh my, Michele! You've outdone yourself again. Love the way you've created a table setting: the plate is simple genius. I wish my table looked this good in real life! Thanks for joining in with us again at The Paper Players.

Oh Michele, I don't think you ever get "off the horse"...you may lead it along occasionally, but you are always in a creative frame of mind! WHat a lovely card...I just love how you interpreted the photo, especially with those pretty berries and that wonderful sentiment! Thanks for rocking my challenge!
