So Very Thankful

Happy Friday to you!  Today I am thankful to be celebrating my husband's birthday today with breakfast at Liberty Market followed by the new Hunger Games movie. Should be a fun morning. I'm also thankful that I get to teach an art masterpiece lesson in my daughter's 3rd grade class this afternoon. Good times!

This week on the Glitz design team we were challenged to create a project with a thankful  theme. I'm always love reflecting on things I'm thankful for.

For this page, I printed off a few recent photos that represent a few things I'm thankful for. With the help of my Silhouette, I cut the title and triangles from white cardstock and then filled in behind the cutouts with patterned paper.

I had fun inking, stamping and stitching on this layout!

The focus of my photos is food + family. Yep! Two of my most favorite things.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with great memory making with your family and friends.

Thankful For...

I just love this time of year. The weather is (finally) cooling off, holiday festivities are beginning and pumpkin flavored treats are ready to be baked. This month there is also a focus on being thankful. I really do try to focus on gratitude for all of my blessings throughout the year, but it is nice to have extra focus at this time of year.

This month, our Scrapbook Circle kit includes a "Thankful For" stamp that I couldn't wait to use on a page. As I was looking at the stamp, an idea popped into my head to create a grid style page filled with the stamp + images of things I'm thankful for. I love it when an idea forms and I'm able to put it together.

I loved filling in the blanks on the stamp. I think it would also be fun to stamp out of bunch of these and have our family each fill out a few and then clip them to a banner. Ideas are forming!

For the photos, I just went back a few months and printed out a few of my favorite photos that reflected on things I'm thankful for. The photos do not specifically tie to the words, but they all help tell the story.

Everything on this page was from the November Home Sweet Home Kit, My Happy Place Add-on and the coordinating kit digital cut files.

Thanks for letting me share today!

Feeling Thankful

This month we were challenged with our Glitz assignments to do one layout focusing on the theme of gratitude. This is such a perfect topic for this month! Before starting my layout, I made a list of a bunch of things I was grateful for and knew that I'd like to incorporate this list into my page.

I typed up and printed out my thankful list on three different patterned papers and then hand cut each word out to use as a border on my page. This was a fun way to incorporate the journaling into the design of the layout.

For my second layout today, I'd like to share a page about my daughter at age 12. I had interviewed her about he favorite things on her birthday and wanted to include all of the information on a layout

I was inspired by the fantastic collection of banners on the patterned paper and decided to turn the photos into banners too.

The alpha stickers got quite a workout on this page. I thought it would be fun to do a combination of stickers and handwriting to share all of the info about my daughter. I like the playful feel all of the mixed fonts bring to the page.

Hope you are enjoying a November full of many things to be thankful for!
