Many Thanks

The Challenge at
is to use a Thanksgiving Sentiment
I made this little matchbox
using the Blank Cameo
from the Cameo collection and
filled it in with a little stamp
inked it up to give it a vintage feel
Some K&Company paper a little ribbon, lace pearls and
a corner from Straight from the Nest
added some papers to the box using one of my spellbinders dies
going to give one to everyone Thanksgiving day and have them
write down what they are thankful for

she love to things like that..

Hope everyone has a rewarding week
