Time to Give Thanks

Now that Halloween is over it is full speed ahead into Thanksgiving. The MOPS group I belong to is having its Thanksgiving Tea this week and we are going all out with table settings and center pieces. These place cards and centerpiece were made using scrapbooking supplies:

 Here are some close-ups:

The centerpiece medallions were made with patterened and plain cardstock paper using various sizes of punches. They were layered with foam dots and glued onto a wooden skewer. Each skewer has two medallions back-to-back so you can see something festive from every seat at the table. Rafia and left-over orange ribbon from the felt pumpkin project were used {for some reason the orange ribbon is turning out yellow in the picture. It really is orange. Really.} The place cards were made with a textured orange cardstock and cut with scalloped scissors. Scalloped circles from the centerpiece were used and a chipboard initial placed on that. The names were written on some coordinating sticker labels I found in my stash, otherwise I was just planning on writing the names directly onto the cardstock.

I've also made a brown paper bag turkey for the table....pictures to come later!
