Thanksgiving Artwork – Craft Fans & Grant Fans… unite!

November 19, 2011 8 Comments

I’ve got something for both groups of readers today!

I just finished another piece of artwork for Thanksgiving.  (I actually used the flip-side of the Raven artwork, so it’s 2 holiday art pieces in 1! I is smaaaaht!) I’m happy with how it turned out.

Click here for the tutorial

While I was cutting out the contact paper letters**, Mitch asked me what it was going to say…

What if you woke up today
with only the things you thanked God for yesterday

Mitch:  “Whoa… that’s deep.”
Grant: “Hey! That rhymes!!”

I guess they’re both right.

So you see?  A new craft for those of you who tune in for that stuff… and a Grant story, for those of you who come over for those.

**For those of you who asked for more detailed instructions on how to make the art: Click here for a step by step tutorial on how to make this Family Rules subway art.

    That IS deep, and it’s a thought I’ve been pondering lately.

    Your craft is actually quite lovely! How did you do it? I’m not sure I know what you mean by contact paper letters. Maybe I missed a post about that? And how did you cut the letters?

    Anyway, it’s great! If you have to move your Thanksgiving dinner inside, this will be a great decor item!

    Now that is a very good reminder to recognize the hand of God in all things. Sorry Grant, my comment doesn’t rhyme. But that isn’t a crime. I have a ton of kids over here, so now I am out of time.

    I love that! Here’s hoping you’ll post some detailed instructions! That color of orange is perfect too.
