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!

Introduction to 31 Days of Thanks
The idea behind 31 Days of Thanks is simple: document your gratitude for 31 days. Yes, it fits nicely into the month of October, but honestly? You can do this project any time of the year.
I have decided to do a combination of photos and journaling using a variety of prompts (I will share those tomorrow).
My main goal, beyond having an attitude of gratitude, is keeping this simple and fun. So, if you want to join me in this focus for October there are a variety of ways to do this. You can find different methods/ideas by doing a search on Pinterest.
I originally saw this idea done by the very talented Cathy Zielske who does this project (called 30 Days of Thankful) in the month of November. She has been doing this for 7 years and you can see all about it by searching on her blog.
Another creator, Krystal Idunate, used 3x4 cards and photos to create a gratitude project all about her mom. Such a beautiful gift. Here is a look through that.
You can grab a journal or spiral notebook and journal your thoughts for each day. Or you could simply document every day on social media - Instagram or Facebook. The ideas are endless and I can’t wait to see what you decide to do. Are you up for it?
I will be back tomorrow showing you how I decorate my cover and share the journalling prompts I will be using most days.

JAR OF FLOWERS | HOME GROWN
JAR OF FLOWERS | HOME GROWN
I am so excited to show you all another scrapbook layout. It's exciting for me to be back into scrapbooking again and my number one kick-starter has been using sketches.
For this layout I used this sketch from Allison Davis - I love how she includes lots of photos.
I tried to keep the layout really simple with the focus being on the pictures. I think I did that.
I was excited to print these photos from my home printer too - I usually use Walmart or Costco. But wow these look great. I'm hoping they will continue to look great down the road - I'll keep you posted.
Here are some closer looks at the three embellishment areas - I used the Jar of Flowers bundle. I coloured with a variety of Stampin' Blends and inks with blender pen. For a full listing of supplies see the end of this post.
The title was created using my Silhouette cutting machine. I actually cut it out with whisper white card stock and then coloured with my Just Jade Stampin' Write Marker - worked perfect as I wasn't sure what colour I wanted the title until the end.
The jars, punched with the coordinating jar punch, were first stamped with the White Stampin Ink. I like how it kept the jars soft and don't draw your attention to mention.
The journalling I just did on the computer and printed out on Whisper White cardstock and cut into strips. I like the look of this. I ended the In Color Enamel Dots to finish it off.
What do you think? Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for stopping by!
