Thanksgiving in Scotland is different than in the US. Usually at the end of 'harvest' time (Sept/Oct) we have a 'Harvest Festival'. In school and Church we sing songs of Thanks and 'celebrate' the Harvest by bringing in food to Church or school that is then donated to local charities or to the Homeless.

Even though we live in the US now, we have never done the whole 'turkey' meal, for us that's a Christmas tradition. In the past we have chosen a country and then spent the day as a family cooking a meal from that country - from scratch!

But, my projects for the hop do embrace the American Thanksgiving - firstly a card with a punch art Pumpkin Pie on the front, but open it up and a turkey pops up!

I saw THIS (click HERE) card several months ago (I can't resist a pop-up card!) and wanted to have a go with Stampin' Up! products. Mine uses the heart punch for the tail feathers. The pumpkin filling on the pie is Tangelo Twist. Even though Stampin' Up! has several different orange colours, this has become my favourite over the fall season.

To go along with the turkey I made a Thanksgiving table setting. The small Pilgrim hat is made from a K-cup and is about 2" and the larger one is a plant pot I painted black and is about 10". It's difficult to see the sizes in the photographs.
