Place Cards

 Just for a change of pace, my friends and hosts decided that this year's Thanksgiving  main entree was going to be on the very light side.  While we've heard of others who decided to go the Mac and Cheese route this year, we went for hot dogs and sauerkraut!  I brought some vegan hickory smoked dogs and a bunch of sides and along with what everyone else brought, we had an admittedly unusual but exceedingly scrumptious repast.

In light of the informality, I thought it would be fun to go in the opposite direction and make place cards for everyone.  I pulled out a couple of embossing folders and then added a handful of leafy die cuts I'd painted with glittery watercolors and propped up with pop dots.  I really enjoyed this first attempt at making place cards and am thinking I'll use any excuse to make some more in future!
