Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning! My friend liked my Halloween pinch box so much that she wanted me to make some Thanksgiving ones for her family! It's always so nice when someone appreciates your work:)

This is an easy template to put together, although there is a bit of cutting involved, some with an exacto knife. The ribbon holds the pinch together and the box opens at the top. I've taped it closed for this photo. The only other extra is the heat embossing in gold on the leaf. I thought it went with the fall colors and added a richness to the olive green paper.

Hope she likes it. Have a great day!
Anne

Have a Spooky Halloween! Template Challenge

Hello! Isn't this paper the cutest? I love how the skeleton is smiling and looks like he's having fun, just like my little witch image. I'm not big on doing templates; I don't do well with them. BUT, I thought I'd give this template from Lauren Meader a try. It's called "In a Pinch" and it's really not hard at all. Believe me, if I can do it, you can too!! When you download the template she gives you great directions on how to make the template. I'm going to fill it with fun Halloween candy and give it to my parents when they come to volunteer in my classroom tomorrow. How fun is THAT; that they help me out?!?!
