Hello, everyone! It’s Tammy and I’m bringing you today’s Timeless Tuesday challenge. Whether we want to face reality or not, the holidays will be here before we know it so let’s start gearing up now for setting a beautiful holiday table! I’m challenging you today to create something to adorn your table and make it festive. There’s no limit to what you can do, and I know the Timeless Tuesday designers will have some great inspiration for you. Even one of our Sr. Design Team members has great inspiration to share with you, as Christine Okken used the latest new release A Season of Thanks to create a beautiful Thanksgiving grouping for her table. Check it out HERE on her blog!
I decided to create some place cards for my Thanksgiving table, using the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set from Flourishes. Each place card is cut from a Labels One Nestabilities die, and the wreaths were cut with a Large Standard Circle die. I cut a smaller Labels One die from Basic Grey “Bittersweet” papers to layer, and then assembled each place card, using a Nested Pennant Sentiment Flag for the “name” part of the card. I stamped the “Gratitude” sentiment on the lower right of each pennant, as well. These are for my immediate family, and more will be quickly made once I know who else is comin’ to dinner!
You’ll see our team listing is missing a member this week. We bid a sad farewell to Betty Wright, as she has decided to step down to spend more time with her family. We know you all will miss Betty’s wonderful designs each week as much as we will, but please stop by her blog soon and wish her well! Keep in touch, Betty!

Love the place cards! Absolutely gorgeous!
What great idea, and fun too!! I now need to go look for my thinking hat and figure something out
I also want to say that I am so, so bummed about Betty deciding to step down! I have to say I am stunned, she had so many great creations and opened my eyes to many ideas. I will miss you, Betty
