Thanksgiving Printable!

        I am kind of obsessed with printables.  I love all of the talent I see on the internet and I have blogged about that here, and even made a gift using free printables. Ever since I finally learned about Google Drawing, I have been playing with it when I get the chance.  I posted my first printablehere for Halloween.  You can go to our free printables page to get it.   When I made that piece, I used free clip art from the internet.  But, I have been feeling like I wanted to try to make my own art.  Today's printable is my first attempt at that.  I used Paint to draw my leaf border, and then I was able to send it to Google Drawing to complete the look of my design.  Kind of simple, although you would be surprised how difficult it is to draw leaves with a mouse!  I like the way it turned out and I hope you will, too.  I consider each little baby step a victory as I try to improve my skills at creating and blogging.  This is such an awesome process for me.

        If you want to give it a try yourself, this tutorial onThe Bold Abode is where I started.  The rest is just trial and error.  It is important to find appropriate fonts and font size, and choose your colors that go well with your theme, decor and taste.      
       After you print your artwork, it will be too large for the frame, so you have to trim it down.  Use the glass from the frame to center over the piece so that you can decide where to trim it.  You may decide to go back and edit and move things around to get the look that you want.
Center the picture under the glass.
use a pencil to trace around the glass to show where to trim.

I'm so glad I stopped by here!

I was JUST talking to my daughter about how I want to do a set of four printables for a wall in my renovated office to put seasonal positive words and phrases to include, of course, Scripture verses. I had never even heard about Google Drawing until I read about it here.

Thanks so much for sharing!
