PPA ~ Thankful Garland
I am so excited about this week's Pal's Paper Arts Challenge. First, I'm the "Featured Artist" this week and second I got to create this garland I've been itching to make. This is the project for my October class which had to be rescheduled for early November.
I know I will use this garland for many years to come to decorate my home. The end pieces highlight my children; girls on the left and boys on the right. And each piece in between spells out THANKFUL. I used Autumn Traditions Designer Series paper in designing each panel and pulled in coordinating colors to accent each one. The colors I used were Ruby Red, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, and Soft Suede.
Each panel is 4 1/2" X 5 1/4" and folds up into a neat little book when I'm ready to put it away.
As always this project has a lot of possibilities. I think my favorite part of it is personalizing it with family pictures. It definitely is a keepsake to treasure.
Please see the recipe below if you would like to create your own Thankful garland. If you would like to attend the class make sure you are on my Newsletter mailing list. And, if you have any questions, contact me!
God Bless,
