Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my USA friends. Today I'm excited to participate in a Glitz blog hop featuring their awesome Finnley collection.

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.

Project Life >>> Week of September 8 - 14

Last week I realized that I was about 9 weeks behind on my Project Life album and decided that it was time to dedicate some time to cranking out some pages. Yikes! I don't mind being a bit behind, but I don't want to get too far behind on this album. I've caught up on about 5 weeks, so I'm feeling better.

Here's a look at our week of September 8. This was the week I did the Week in the Life photo project, so I had a lot of pictures to choose from. So nice!

Bedtime Reading /// Playing Marbles /// Going for a Run /// Barbieland /// Fun with Friends

Morning Breakfast Scene /// Smoothie /// Snack at Eegee's in Tucson /// New Car

There you go! Another week is complete. Happy day!

November Scrapbook Circle Sketch

Every month Diana puts together fabulous sketches for Scrapbook Circle and shares them on the SC blog. I always love seeing all of the different takes on the sketch.

Here's my take on the sketch for November:

I had so much fun putting this page together. All of the bits and pieces from the Home Sweet Home kit were spread all over my desk and it was easy to layer up everything onto my page.

My daughter and I go to the same salon we we both love it. (Need a salon in Chandler, AZ? Check out Flict!) I thought it would be fun to document one of our favorite places.  

Want to play along with the sketch? Be sure to stop by the Scrapbook Circle blog for details and find out about the fun prize that is up for grabs.

Project Life >>> Week of October 27th

I seriously had so much fun putting this week's Project Life spread together. Since we had so many Halloween activities this week, I decided to use the Glitz Raven line for the whole spread. There were so many fun elements in this line which made putting things together really fun.

This week we were challenged on the Glitz Design blog to use Whatnots on our project. Whatnots are die cut shapes and cards that come in a package filled with lots of bits of goodness. The big pumpkin, owl, chevron tag and "love Halloween" card are all from the Whatnots package. If you want to check out more Whatnot inspiration, be sure to check out the Glitz blog this week.

Pumpkin Carving /// Trick or Treating // Birthday Boy /// Candy!

We Dressed Up! /// Iron Man /// Ms. Captain America /// 70's Bridesmaid /// Gandalf /// Zombie

We all had fun dressing up in our family this year. Ward and I don't usually dress up, but we did this year and loved it! I wore the bridesmaid dress that my aunt wore at my parents' wedding. Pretty cool that the dress has survived in a closet somewhere for over 40 years!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend.

Project Life >>> September 1 - 7

It's been quite a while since I've posted Project Life pages. My scrapbooking time has been so limited lately and my PL pages haven't made it to the top of the list for a while. This past week I was able finally work on some PL pages. So fun! I really had a great time putting them together.

I still love that these pages help me record our family stories in a different way than traditional layouts. Both formats are great and I love the variety. This week started with Labor Day weekend and family getaway to Flagstaff and ended with a church campout in the pines. Love all of our time spent in cooler weather this week!

Tonto Natural Bridge /// Hiking /// L + W /// Friend's Birthday with the Neighborhood Ladies /// Campfire and S'mores

Flagstaff Extreme Ropes Course /// County Fair // Cute Note from Hannah

It was fun to relive this week as I put everything together. I'm so thankful for weeks like this where we can get away and spend more time together as a family.
