I think it's my favorite holiday next to Christmas.
I especially love setting the table each year...I love to try something new each year...and I especially love to use non-traditional colors in my decor.
This year I'm using something a little different to create my place settings...here's what I'm starting with...
The brand new Heidi Swapp Instax Card Kit and a number of pieces from Heidi's new sticker collection (both available now at Michaels Stores).
And here's what I've created...
Personalized place settings for each of our Thanksgiving guests!
I started by asking each of our guests to send me photos of themselves...then I printed them out using the FANTASTIC Instax Printer (also available at Michaels) and placed them inside the little cards that come in the kit.
But instead of then folding the cards up and putting them into their adorable little envelopes, I folded the cards backwards and turned them into these little tented frames.
A small piece of washi tape helps the cards keep their shape...
I decorated each one with a few pieces from the Sticker Collection and added a little monogram so that each of our guests would know where to sit...
A piece or two of washi tape (also from the sticker collection) helps to keep the photos in place...
...and when the evening is over everyone has a little memento to bring home. They just simply have to fold their cards up and tuck them into their envelopes...
So easy...(really, soooo easy), but fun, right?
I love the idea of giving something a little personal to each of our guests...
And now I'm getting so excited to decorate for Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
