Most people are in their kitchens cooking turkeys and such this morning. Me, I'm in my craft room cutting up soda cans. I only make the squash and the rolls.
Carla's challenge today was a perfect one to combine with Lyn's "Yes, You CAN" challenge. But if I just used the Coke can, then today's challenge wouldn't be properly represented, so I used the tomato paste tube that Sabrina sent me to try--way cool! And now I feel like I have properly addressed both challenges. Thank goodness for my husband's Coke addiction (LOL!) or else there would be no cans in my house. I had the circle and the tree line cut out of the Coke can and I was planning to put the little tree line inside the circle like an ornament, but then my Desmond (who's 5 1/2 now) walked over and told me how I should arrange my card. Looks good to me. Thanks, Desmond.
Happy Thanksgiving, my SCS friends! I'm thankful for all of you. Your kindness and friendship have made me a better person. You bring so much joy to my life! Love and hugs to all

Desmond and you did such a wonderful job on both challenges, Jen! Love the shiny metallic look of the Christmas tree. Now I will have to keep looking for those tomato paste tubes!

I love hearing that your son gives you design advice, Jen!!! This is beautiful, good job from both of you. So clever to use a Coke can and tomato tube. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

This is so fantastic! You should send this to the Coca Cola CEO and see what kind of an offer comes down the pike. You might get a coupon for a drink, a designer deal, or how about a scholarship for Desmond! So thankful for you, and your creations which never cease to delight me, Jen.

Wow - 5 1/2! Where does the time go. He's certainly got a good eye for design . Both your coke and your tomato trees look great, Jen. I especially like that circle. And I spy one of my favourite and sadly under-used snowflake embossing folders in the background, too.
