Happy Harvest!
I've been learning how to use Photoshop Elements.
{Photoshop CS3 is a whole other story! Someday I'll find the time to sit down and really learn it}
I don't have many harvest decorations so I wanted to make something fun for the month of November.
I decided to share it with you!
I'm no Photoshop Elements expert, but I like how it turned out. Feel free to download it and print a copy off for yourself! And I'd love to see how you display it!

I made this wreath last month (I got the idea for the wreath from somebody's blog and CANNOT remember who's!!! I like to give credit to people when I use their idea's) and wanted to be able to use it through Thanksgiving. I had a "Trick or Treat" sign hanging in the middle for Halloween. I needed something Thanksgiving-y for November.
So, I made the image in Photoshop Elements, printed it off at WalMart's 1-hour photo center and went to work to find a frame.
I found this one that I already had but hadn't been using - I'm pretty sure it's from the dollar store:
It was silver. I wanted a little bit of color so I spray-painted it a turquoise-ish color (I like the words I'm making up - Thanksgiving-y, turquoise-ish . . .) to match the turquoise in the image. Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint, to be exact.
Hmmm . . . it looks baby blue in this pic . . . anywho. I stapled some brown sheer ribbon to the back and hung it right on my door hanger.
I love that I can use the same wreath for different holidays just by changing out an accessory!
And yes, I know the picture is in the frame a little crooked. It was straight when I put it in!
Some more shots:
I love how it turned out!
It was just what I was looking for.
PS - I made the wreath for about $4. I got a twig wreath from the dollar store and the fabric from WalMart's dollar bins. The burlap was probably the most expensive thing about the wreath. Love it!
PPS - I downloaded the digital paper for my image from Shabby Princess and the font is from Kevin and Amanda
