happy thanksgiving

I hope you're enjoying this day of family, good food, and giving thanks for all we have.  I thought I would share a fun idea with you for Thanksgiving (or other holiday) place cards. Cut pie boxes from Harvest patterned paper, decorate them with your guests names, and fill them with some warm, fresh pie.

I used the Lifestyle Crafts Pie Box Die with my Evolution machine.  Then I cut some leaves using the Lifestyle Crafts Maple Leaves Nesting Dies and adhered them to the back of the pie box.

I printed my guests names on textured cardstock and added some Harvest embossed stickers to the leaves.  Then I lined the boxes with parchment paper, added a small slice of my favorite apple pie, and finished it off by tying some brown baker's twine around the box.

Your guests will love these fun place cards--not only will they know where their place at your Thanksgiving table is, but they'll have a yummy treat to take home with them when the feast is over.
