This week at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC137 Tammy has invited us to "set the table." With the holidays quickly coming upon us and family and friends gathering around the table, the challenge is to create something for the holiday table. Anything goes...place cards, napkin rings, candles, table favors, decorations...let your creativity loose!
For my project I used 3 stamp sets ~ Zinnias, With Gratitude, and Country Charm Labels. I looked up zinnias on the web for colors and I totally love that they come in a "fall" color. Since Zinnias happens to be one of my favorite sets I just has to use them. I totally love how these came out.
As I started my project I realized I don't have napkins, other than paper towels. However, it made me think. Last year my teammate had a Thanksgiving Dinner with her students and I'd like to do that this year with my students. Many of them will not have that dinner - so I plan on getting my classroom volunteers and a few community members to help me. So I designed my project around my students. I made a place card and a napkin ring to go around a paper towel (I didn't photo the paper towel). Had I had electricity I was in the middle of make table decorations, but I do have a staff meeting in the morning, otherwise I would've stayed up all night!!
Well I hope you like my project. I appreciate all the fabulous comments that I received while being a guest designer. I want to say thank you to Tammy for giving me this most awesome opportunity. I hope I did Flourishes proud.
Now it's time to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team ~ Cindy, Heather, Maki, Tammy, Silke, and Beate.

Flourishes is very lucky to have had you around, Theresa! You rocked this challenge, and the idea of hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for your students sounds like exactly the kind of generous thing you'd do :) I certainly hope you'll have folks lining up to help you.

WOW what beautiful flower to place on the dining table, Theresa. The colors make the flowers 'pop' right off the card. The flourish is a wonderful addition.
