Don't skip over the important holidays!

So, I went shopping and looking for some cute Thanksgiving decorations, but do you think I could find any??   What I found was Halloween clearance(which I love) and Christmas(which I love more).  It was as though Thanksgiving no longer existed.   I hate when stores skip over important holidays!!  

I finally found on isle of decorations, but not much to choose from, so I came home and made my own.   I took one of my dishes, filled it with spanish moss, my little pumpkins from Halloween and then cut out "Give thanks".   I used SNF Miss Molly font and welded it with a leafy swirl design from Silhouette.

Halloween charger plate

I saw this little guy in the Silhouette design library and fell in love.   I had to use him on something, so I found a charger plate, it was around $3, and painted it with black shimmer tole paint.   I then measured the inner circle and cut out my scrapbook papers.  I used a lime green on bottem as my accent paper and the striped I cut half an inch smaller so the green would show.   I cut my skull out of  black and white vinyl, using my Silhouette, but you could use stickers, die cuts or even cut out your own design.

  When placing the vinyl, I made sure to put the black vinyl down first, then layered the white on top.   I cut out skull bones from a skull font I found for free online.
