This card is for this week's 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. I love this sketch. Simple yet versatile and FUN!
I used some paper by The Girls' Paperie and Bo Bunny(red). I also used a Melissa Frances chipboard Ornament which I coated with some Red Wagon Shimmerz and then some more glitter. I also used some gold satin ribbon, a Melissa Frances rub-on and some pieces from a holiday pick.(Click on pics for a better view)

♥ Thanksgiving Turkey Place Card Holder ♥

Here is a quick and easy place card holder that you can make for your Thanksgiving Day table. And it makes a great favor that your guests can take home with them. It only took me about a half an hour to make. Not including glue and glitter drying time. (But you can dry with a heat gun for a quick dry)
I took a styrofoam ball, coated it with clear glue and then added some Copper colored glitter to it. Set aside to dry. I then took a negative space 3" chipboard circle and glued a bunch of punched out hearts to it to act as the feathers. (See pic below!) I then glued that to the back of the styrofoam ball when it was dried. I then added a Prima flower to the top, which I inked and glittered, some black pearls for eyes, and a beak and that red thing {LOL what's that called again!??} out of pipe cleaners. I then used a chipboard heart covered in paper as the base (feet). To finish it off, I added some signs made from paper and toothpicks and some ribbons.
This was inspired by this week's Tuesday Trigger over at the Moxie Fab World Blog.
I also used challenges from the following:

~ City Crafter Challenge Blog: Thank you!
~ Creative Card Crew Challenge Blog: "Let's Give Thanks"
~ Cute Card Thursday Blog: "Anything Goes!"

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs....
