Day 3 & 4 | 31 Days of Thanks

Welcome back!

Today in the Create & Share FB Group I shared the video of me putting together my Day 3 & 4 of the 31 Days of Thanks project.

Day 3

Journal Prompt: A food you really love

My background paper is from the Gilded Autumn DSP and the circle scallop is punched from Pretty Peacock card stock. The rest of the products are from Simple Stories and Thickers. Do you have paper and stickers that need to be used up? Pull them out and match them current product and get started! Its fun mixing and matching!

Day Four

Journal Prompt: A teacher who impacted you.

More of the Simple Stories products here.

You will noticed that I am using a combination of typed journalling and my own handwriting. Looking back I like to see both in projects. I'm not always happy of the look of my handwriting on projects but I know in years to come I will like to see that. Give it a try.

Day 1 & 2 | 31 Days of Thanks

Today in the Create & Share FB Group I am sharing a video where I assemble my Day 1 and 2 pages for my 31 Days of Thanks album. Go over and have a look and see below for a list of supplies I used.

DAY 1

Journal Prompt: Someone you are grateful for

After the filming the video I added the "you" and "j" with Early Espresso ink and a retired font stamp set.

For each day I am using the circle scallop punch and a number from either a sticker sheet or stamp set.

I mentioned I used the Cathy Zielske digital stamps for the "today I am thankful for"

- below is a link to that:

DAY 2

Journal Prompt: A place you are grateful for

The other products I am using for this project includes the Simple Stories fall kit from 2012. I think its about time I used it up! I like how it coordinates with the Gilded Autumn suite.

Join me tomorrow for Day 3 & 4.

My Why | 31 Days of Thanks Intro Page

Happy October 1st! Happy start of our gratitude project - 31 Days of Thanks!

Today, we start with our first journal prompt "Someone you are grateful for". You can take a picture of that person, or write a few words about them or both. Post how you are documenting and share your "day" with us over in the Create & Share FB Group. (the journal prompt is available for free in the files section of the Create & Share FB Group)

To start the project off I have put together a "My Why" page. An idea I borrowed from Ali Edwards, who does this with her December Daily project. It allows you to document why you are doing this. You don't have to do this but thought I would share mine.

I put together a video showing you how I put this together over in the FB Group if you want to go check it out.

Below is a full list of supplies a used for both the cover and this page.

Stay tuned for Day 1!
