Welcome to the Stampin Friends November Blog Hop!
We will be hopping on the third Thursday every month, with a different theme to inspire you each time :)
The theme for November is 'Thanksgiving'.
If you just arrived from Andrea's Blog, thank you for continuing with the hop!
You can continue on the blog hop in a loop by clicking on the Next button below.

This month we are excited to have Awesome Guest Hoppers that you should definitely check out!
Wynne Grob, Kim Smith, and Steph Jandrow

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.
Do you love crafty supplies?!?
If so, comment on all 12 posts in this hop and find everyone's favourtie colour. Then email Elizabeth happystamper508@gmail.com before Sunday 22nd Nov 2015 to be entered into a drawing.
What do you get?!?
In addition to enjoying all of this group's creations, you'll be entered to win a fun crafty present from every one of the bloggers!
​That's 12 crafty presents! Just a little thank you for your time!

This card is so cute. I like the little surprise when opened. The utensil holder dresses up any table setting and the name tag hats add so much interest. TFS

I was so excited about the turkey popup, I forgot to mention how I love that you used a K-cup. I have often wondered if there was something I could do with them since they don't recycle. So clever.

Kirsteen Thank You so much for sharing your traditions with us. I have always wanted to visit Scotland & I hear it's beautiful. I must admit... Your crafts have totally knocked my socks off! Such extraordinary ideas. The pie card that opens up to a turkey is remarkable. I have never seen such an exquisite card. That's definitely a must try. And, the Pilgrim dinner set up was Fantastic! I live close to where the Pilgrims set up shop in Plymouth, MA. The kids will get a kick out of this! You have inspired me beyond belief. I can't wait to keep following your blog for more fun ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your traditions & gorgeous crafts!
