Fall Tree

My sister posted about decorating for the holidays, specifically for Thanksgiving. This is something I barely do. I have a few things I put up on the walls and call it good.

In my sisters search for fall decor she found this darling pillow tutorial. My mom saw the post and being the sewing fanatic that she is, loved it. She called me to say that we needed to make it and immediately went out a bought two pillow forms.

We made it last Friday and every time I walk into my family room and see it sitting on my chair it makes me happy. I think it turned out so cute. Thanks Mom.

I’m loving this pillow so much that I thought I would make a little card from it. I created this to share will my faithful digi scrap’n blog readers. I want to say thank you for downloading my templates. I am so happy to share my creations with you. I want you guys to know that I always read every comment too. Your comments give me a good idea how many downloads I get and what kind of templates are most popular.

This 5×7 could be printed out and pasted on cardstock for a quick thank you card. It could also be re-sized. I may even be tempted to drag it onto a fall layout.

I used Dani Mogstad’s Falling Softly kit that I got from The Digi Files 8 to cover my template. I’m not sure if her kit it is up at the Sweet Shoppe yet but I love the soft fall colors. I created my own stitches though and now I just need someone nice to give my card to.

Now that I’m all ready for fall, the winter weather is knocking at my door step. We woke up to snow Saturday morning… Sheesh. I’m not quite ready for this.
