Leaves? Turkeys?

Trees and leaves were recently the theme of the week at Linnie Blooms.

But, are there other ways to use them?  I stumbled on my idea completely by accident.

I used leaves,
and paints, mists, ink, and a stamp.
I was rearranging my leaves for a different idea and then I thought "November" - cold, fall colors, mounds of leaves, and turkey.  There my leaves were lined up and they reminded me colorful turkey feathers.
 Wouldn't this be a fun and easy activity for kids to do?  Send a card, an invite, table decor, place sitting are just a few ideas to get them involved, too.

Thanks for stopping!

If not, and you would like to start at the beginning, please head over to the Linnie Blooms Blog. The hop will start today and last until the 11:59 PM EST on Friday the 11th. 

If you aren't familiar with these two fantastic companies, then let me give you some background on them:  

Genuinely Jane Studios manufactures small and medium size wood mini-albums for mixed media, scrapbooking and altered art in many shapes and sizes. All of the albums are hand made right on site in their Central Missouri facility. In addition to their albums, they also carry other art supplies in their online store. Find them on Facebook at  https://www.facebook.com/genuinelyjanestudios and their website at https://www.genuinelyjanestudios.com 

A love of creating has evolved into a studio where the owner, Linda Barutha, teaches mixed media art classes. Linnie Blooms is a local Mukwonago, Wisconsin  retail shop that offers craft supplies and art supplies. Fun and creative classes include mixed-media courses, monthly Pinterest classes, sewing classes for kids, crochet, and more. Linnie Blooms also manufacturers their own crafting supplies.  Linnie Blooms signature products are the Canvas Mixed Media Shapes & Blanks. These light weight canvas pieces are perfect for any of your crafting projects. Find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LinnieBlooms and their website at http://lindabarutha.com/
