Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing all my US friends a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Be safe if you're travelling.  We're spending a quiet rainy day at home watching the parade & football.  Of course, I'll probably work in a little crafting--haha!
I have a couple more Christmas projects to show you.  First is a photo ornament for PTI MIM. 

Our neighbor snapped this shot on the day of hubby's family reunion this summer so we could send a text saying we were thinking of them.  The photo & Enchanted Evening mat were die cut with PTI Mat Stack 3.  The bottom strip was die cut from Spring Rain & the dot wreath from Wreath for all Seasons was stamped using Delicata Silvery Shimmer. 
The little branches are from Spruce & Sprigs.  Probably will send this to my sister.

Next is a card using Ellen Hutson Bold Blossom--my first EH purchase.  Decided to do something different with it to enter the What's Your Favorite challenge celebrating EH's 11th Anniversary.  Gotta say--I really love how it turned out! 
The large & small leaves were die cut from a panel of watercolor paper smooshed with 3 green Distress Inks.  The sparkle is from splattering with my Wink of Stella pen which I also brushed on the white linen card front. 
The center embellishment is at least 15 years old--just what I needed!  The red panel was mounted with foam tape & this one I may hand deliver.  I'm also entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Love how you've used the leaf die and how you've splattered with the wink of stella....never done that with the pen, so will be giving that one a go....Thank you x Just goes to show you should never throw anything out....

    I love that you made an photo ornament out of that great picture. A keepsake for sure. Using the leaf die made a stunning card and it is a great idea. The joy is a perfect center for it.

    Your photo tag is a great idea and came out beautifully! How brilliant to create such a gorgeous flower from the EH leaf! And that 15 year old embellishment just waited for this moment to shine!
    Hope you enjoyed your quiet Thanksgiving!
