Celebrating Turkey Day

Happy day before Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it gives us time to spend with family and reflect on the many things that we have to be thankful for. I've spent lots of time reading what others are Thankful for on Facebook and their blogs. I haven't spent a lot of time writing about what I'm thankful for but I do always have it on my mind. I'll have my thankful post up tomorrow. Today, I have a layout to share with you using Bella Blvd's Thankful line. I know I've said it before but I *really* do love this line. It has all my favorite colors and so many versitle patterns.

Today my layout is Thanksgiving themed. I did a layout about a Thanksgiving project I did with my kids last year.

I used the turkey from the Cute Cuts sheet for part of my title.

This cluster of embellishments has so many layers of goodies, stickers, washi tape, buttons, stick pin flags, staples, and a couple of enamel dots from MME.

And here's the finished product, this is a layout that goes along with the theme "this is why I scrapbook" my kids have already looked at this layout numerous times and I'm sure they will many times to come. I love it when they come across a layout and start giggiling and say, "I remember when..."

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by :)

Little Miss Smarty Pants

Good Morning Everyone! I have a layout to share with you today, I created it with the new Bella Blvd Kiss Me collection. I adore this collection. You'll see a lot more projects of mine from this collection because I'll use every last scrap from this collection. This layout is about my daughter and the silly smirk she has on her face in the photo. Sometimes she gets that sassy little look on her face and we call her "little miss smarty pants" Even though this is a collection geared toward Valentines day it's so versatile that I use it for everyday layouts as well.

This little lady is home from school with me today. She's not feeling well. Poor little thing! Although, I can't say that I'm not happy to have her home with me. I miss her tons when she's gone to school!

I created the background for this layout by layering the circles. I cut out circles from other patterned papers in the collection and layered them on the circles that were layered on the page. I left some circles without layers so there was room for my title.



 I bordered the focal point of my layout with decorative tape....I love that stuff!

 I finished the layout by embellishing with some enamel dots by My Minds Eye (LOVE those little things) stickers, buttons, and more decorative tape.

And here's the finished layout! I love how this one turned out!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a happy Wednesday :)
