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!

Birthday Gift Idea

A couple of days ago I was trying to come up with a little birthday gift idea for a friend. I remembered this post that Audrey made over at the Scrapbook Circle blog and then I knew what I wanted to do: make bottle cap magnets.

I punched circles to fill the bottlecaps and then added things that were on my scrapbook table like buttons, chipboard pieces and a little plastic butterfly. I then covered it all with Glossy Accents and let it dry overnight. Once the bottle caps were dry, I glued little magnets to the back.
I found a round tin to hold the magnets in my stash and covered it with paper so it matched the magnets. Of course, I needed a card to go with it. This was a really quick card because I just used a few different stickers from the SBC Sept. Kit and layered them on the Crate wood grain paper.I also decided to give my friend a yummy snack too, so I filled a jar from IKEA with chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels. I used the silhouette to cut the "happy birthday" letters from white fuzzy vinyl and sprayed it with apricot chalk board mist.It was fun putting together a hand made gift for my friend!
