Verve Holiday Release 4

I am at the Oyster Festival in Urbanna, Virginia today. I do not like oysters but it is always fun to go and walk around. I will probably get a crabcake sandwich as I love them.

I plan on posting quite a few fall/Thanksgiving cards between now and Thanksgiving day. I will post a few Christmas cards also so you get some ideas for your cards. Today’s card uses the scarecrow from the set in the Holiday mini. I wasn’t going…
