Stamps: A Muse pilgrim boy, pilgrim girl, Frames Clear Set, and Memory Box Happy Thanksgiving
Paper: A Muse natural white, brown gingham, orange flecked (got it at A Muse once in a "help yourself scrap box") and french roast cardstock, and Impress green cardstock
Inks: A Muse black dye, VersaMagic gingerbread chalk, VersaFine vintage sepia, and copic markers
Misc.: foam mounting tape, A Muse lime peel and french roast gosgrain stitch ribbon
