Welcome to the weekend!
Every Saturday begins a brand new challenge at
This week we want to see your new projects using this theme:
Thanksgiving/Thankfulness.
Thursday, November 28, is Thanksgiving here in the US so this theme is very appropriate for me. Then again, Thankfulness is a theme that we should all embrace year 'round. I know that I have been abundantly blessed and I am truly grateful everyday.
I decided to make a subway style sign for our mantel for my project.
It looks very intricate and difficult but I have to say
it was really one of the easiest projects I've ever made!

| The sign is 12x12. It only looks so small because it's sitting in an absurdly huge easel. |
This great design comes directly from the Cricut Word Collage cartridge. Thanks, Connie! (I won this cart in her blog candy draw a couple of months ago.) The Thanksgiving collage was cut at 10 3/4".
All elements of the Cricut cuts were done using Copper Metallic Matte Vinyl from CricketVinylSupplies.com. I just cannot say often enough how much I love their products! The selection of colors they offer is fantastic. Best of all though, this stuff cuts like a dream!! I set my Expression on 3 for everything...Blade depth, Speed, and Pressure. Using transfer tape is an absolute must for me.

| The large swirl along the side is from Home Decor. It is 2 Swirl #3's. I flipped one and then welded them together. It was then sized to the same height as the word collage. |
 |
| The patterned paper is from DCWV The Natural stack. It has a very subtle tone on tone pattern that I thought looked great with the copper vinyl. |
You can find this project in the following challenges:
