Thankful Plate Designed by The TomKat Studio

Simple design. It’s what I love. I created a few new Shutterfly projects to add some Thanksgiving decor to our home this month. As you know, I love designing plates on Shutterfly and these “thankful” plates were super simple to create. You can easily make them in minutes like I did, or customize your own with names, etc. Here’s how to do it:

  • Visit Shutterfly, scroll down and select “plates”
  • Choose the “in your words” plate
  • Click “personalize”
  • Click the “background” tab, select the color (I used the darker gray)
  • Click on “enter text here” and add your text
    • thankful
    • font: regina
    • font size: 150
    • color: white
  • Preview + add to cart!

We just had our family photos taken by my amazing friend, Vicki and they turned out so fabulous (I’ll post them soon)! Of course, I want to put them all over everything, so I created new ornaments using this cute “wood” layout on Shutterfly. We can use them for Thanksgiving and then hang them on the tree for Christmas!

Ornaments as Napkin Holders designed by The TomKat Studio

Custom canvases are always fun to create and easy to switch out for each season/holiday! I designed this “be thankful” graphic with the cute turkey and you can download it here.

Be Thankful Art Print Canvas designed by The TomKat Studio

  • Visit Shutterfly, scroll down and select “framed canvas prints”
  • Choose the “photo gallery” canvas
  • Select 16×20, white frame
  • Click on “personalize”
  • Click “layouts” tab and select the full photo vertical layout
  • Upload the “be thankful” graphic, preview + add to cart!
