Miki's Thanks & Blessings Collection

Thanks & Blessings reminds us to take a moment to reflect on our many blessings and give thanks for them. Autumn is the time that we celebrate the harvest after months of hard work, and in doing so, we also begin preparations for the winter ahead of us. It's a time to remember, a time to express gratitude and a time to prepare. We also celebrate many different holidays and important events during this season: Halloween and Thanksgiving, Mabon or Autumnal Solstice & Samhain - all of which share many themes and symbols. "Thanks & Blessings" is the perfect collection to help us remember those times, those thoughts and those people. In the colors reminiscent of fall- the deep golds and browns of turning leaves, the orange and greens of pumpkin, gourds and squash, light yellows of Indian corn, and the wine colored shades of the grapes and turning leaves, all with a slightly shabby & worn treatment- you will find yourself reaching for this kit year after year! "Thanks & Blessings Collection" includes 14 patterned and/or textured papers (3 are solids), and over 25 elements. Many of these elements feature original photography that you won't find elsewhere. Included elements are: pieces of hay including a bow, 5 leaves, a cornucopia with autumn plants, fruits & leaves, a bunch of dried Indian corn, a chain of beads, a jeweled stick pin, 2 embellished wooden frames, 2 ribbons and 3 ribbon slides (one blank, 2 with word art), a distressed index card for recipes, menus, or journaling, a piece of note paper, a curvy border, jewelry tag (with and without chain link), cutout tag, 2 metallic flourishes, 2 colored metallic fancy brads, and a set of cards with the words "thanks", "blessings", "bounty", "harvest", "celebration", "family", "fellowship", "friendship", "grace", "providence", and includes their definitions, and a card pocket you can use for tucking then into! Also included is a darling set of alphas- made of stitched fabric and it includes the full set of upper & lower case letters, numbers and 7 extra characters. Each element and alpha character is in its own file- no need to 'cut' apart. All elements and papers are created at 300ppi, with papers saved as high-resolution jpgs for stunning print clarity, and elements saved as png files to preserve transparency. Drop shadows are only applied in instances where layering of pieces within an element necessitate shadowing for realism. You save 33% of the price of each set sold separately when you purchase the collection in its entirety. This kit is perfect for seasonal layouts- as well as classic and vintage layouts !
