My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.  I get to spend time with family without the snow, shopping and stress of Christmas.

For the Cards in Envy Favorite Holiday challenge I created this card.

I dug through my stash and pulled out some paper from an old Recollections paper pad (Harvest Delight) that I’d been saving.  I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of paper that is just “too pretty” to use.  I cut the printed papers and matted them with some rust cardstock.  While looking through supplies and trying to decide if I should emboss the sentiment, I found a small jar of bronze micro beads.  These are another of the “too pretty to use” stash items.  I decided to skip the embossing and instead add the micro beads to a few of the leaves on the sentiment.  They added a bit of sparkle without the bulk of sequins or brads.
