Just For Fun: Dapper Pilgrims

Greetings, friends!  We're having a bit of a delayed Just For Fun (aka JiFFy) Challenge this month, and I'm even more delayed than the rest of the gang.  What's new, right?  *sigh*  I've got so many irons in the fire these days, I'd better dress in nothing but flame-retardant materials.  It beats being bored, though, right?

Remember the drill on the JiFFy Challenge?  One of us sends out patterned paper, and once it hits the mail, another reveals the selected image(s) for the month.  This month, I sent everyone some yummy 'dried egg noodles' from Jillibean Soup's Chicken Noodle collection.  Then, Julie sent us all images from Hero Arts' cute-cute-cute So Thankful set.

I went semi-clean-and-simple for my card this month...

Here's another view, since I'm having a hard time deciding which picture I like best:

I'm not sure Pilgrims would really have dressed in red and gold.  Maybe these two were the Puritan version of McDonald's workers?  There could have been such a thing, for all we know, right?  Pull up to the window of their house on your horse, and they'd hand you a turkey leg and some maize or something.  I could go on, but... nah.  I leave you and your imagination to hash the rest of the story out.  It'll be good for you to do a little creative contemplating.

And, of course, while you're considering the logistics of Plymouth Rock's Mickey D's, please drive-thru and see what my JiFFy girlfriends have concocted with this month's ingredients:

Michele Boyer,

Julie Campbell,

Kim Hughes,

Lori Craig,

Alli Miles,

and playing along with us this month, the sweet & shiny Lisa Silver!
