Thanksgiving, 2015. My sister-in-law Robin always goes above and beyond in everything she does. I do well to get the food to the buffet line, much less a fabulous table setting like this.

I started with Flock Artsy Layered Template 259, which almost feels like cheating. But it's a really easy way to get a layout done quickly while familiarizing yourself with a new collection. I added solid paper 3 below the template layers. I clipped two photos to the 4 small frames, brought in Flock FotoBlendz 1-3, grouped and clipped the large photo to the group. I placed the MultiMedia Bird 2-4 strategically, as some of the layers have transparency and the underlying photo shows through. I also added a blank layer below and painted a small brown patch under the tail feathers using AnnaBlendzArtsy 4-1 brush. I then went through the template layers individually, deleting 2 or 3 layers and leaving the rest as is. Last, I placed the word art, beaded threadz and journaling.
