			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t believe Thanksgiving is next week! Luckily I am not the one making the turkey, although I will be bringing a very large version of my cheddar corn spoon bread, which seems to be a hit. I also wanted to make some place cards for the table, just to cheer things up, and here&#8217;s what I came  up with. Everything was from my stash, bonus points for not acquiring new stuff!</p>
<p><img src="http://lindamade.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/tag1.jpg" alt="tag1.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Supplies:</strong><br />
-Assorted scrapbook paper in solids and patterns. If you have 8 x 8 paper,  cutting the 4 x 4 squares is a breeze.<br />
-Ruler<br />
-Scissors and Decorative Edge scissors<br />
-Felt flowers (I used pre-cut flowers from American Crafts, you could also cut your own, use paper flowers, stickers, or whatever you want!)<br />
-Sewing machine<br />
-White Gel Pen or letter stamps and white pigment ink</p>
<p><strong>Making It: </strong>Determine how many tags you&#8217;ll need. Cut that number of 4&#8243; x 4&#8243; squares from patterned scrapbooking papers. Fold each square in half. Next, cut that same number of 3 1/2&#8243; X 1&#8243; rectangles from  your solid papers with decorative scissors to make the name rectangle. For each card, center one rectangle over the bottom (&#8221;front&#8221;) half of a folded square. Place flowers on top as desired. Put the whole shebang under your sewing machine needle and stitch around the name rectangle with a long stitch. If you&#8217;re nervous about the flowers and papers moving while you sew, you may secure them with a glue stick, just make sure the glue dries before you sew so your needle won&#8217;t get sticky.</p>

<em>Note: The needle will  dull from sewing through paper, so you may want to mark it and set it aside for your next paper project&#8211; don&#8217;t sew fabric with it after sewing paper.</em></p>
<p>And voila! Place cards! To finish them off, I&#8217;m either going to write or stamp the names in white ink. There will be fifteen people at our dinner, so I&#8217;m going to wait until I have a list to do that part.</p>
