Challenge Title: Thanksgiving Blues
Hostess: Understand Blue (Lydia)
Keyword: FF19UnderstandBlue
Date: Monday, 11.04.19

Welcome to Falliday Fest 2019! This is the time of year where we help you build up your holiday project stash at just the right time, and encourage you to donate to local or Splitcoast card drives! (Check the Cards for a Cause forum for some great donation spots.)


I'm one of those old-school people who like to do the holidays in order, and in their own time. I don't like seeing Christmas decorations in the store before I've handed out candy to my trick-or-treaters, and I feel like Thanksgiving gets skipped in the cardmaking world, so I always stubbornly make a turkey card or two, and this year, I'm asking you to help me celebrate Thanksgiving by making a card that's Thanksgiving themed, but also where blue is the dominant color!


I chose a Distress ink background with a little roasted turkey in contrasting colors.

I can't wait to see what you do! Thanks to my lovely sample makers!

Sorry my sample was just winter, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here but we do now get Black Friday - go figure!

Bliss, thank you!! I need a few more Thanksgiving cards and my MIL loves blue so this will be perfect combo for me to get a card done for her.

HAHAH that is hilarious!! My goodness. The whole meaning of Black Friday can't be the same around the world either so that's just funny.
