Mat Stack Thanksgiving Cards

I'm focusing this season on making quick and easy Thanksgiving cards.  I have a lot of folks I want to express my gratitude to, and I've decided it is more important that I express gratitude to many in my life, rather than spending time making just a few cards that are more elaborate. With that in mind, today's cards are made using Paper Wishes "Card Greetings and Sentiments CD" - which I notice is listed as their current top seller - and DCWV 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" matstacks for the backgrounds.  Here are the cards.
The matstacks have nice coordinating papers and they are just the right size -- not a lot of waste.  The sentiments and turkey are from the Paper Wishes CD. For the "Happy Turkey Day" card, I printed them out, colored them with chalks, and then cut around them.  For the "Thanksgiving Blessings" card, I used a gel pen to go over the words so they were more the color I wanted.  Then I tore around the sentiment and chalked the edge.  This gave me a couple more quick and easy Thanksgiving cards.
