Welcome to the Thanksgiving Blog Hop, where we are celebrating Thanksgiving and being Thankful for Family, Friends, Freedom and Food. If you just happened to stop by my blog and would like to start back at the beginning of the hop, please click here and you'll go back to Amy
We have a long line up of a lot of talented girls for event, and this is the second day. If you missed out yesterday, please feel free to look around the blog for my Autumn Flower bouquet. I am pretty proud of it!
Now if you came over from Scrappidy Ashy
you are in the right place. Isn't her blog amazing? Her calendar yesterday was great!
you are in the right place. Isn't her blog amazing? Her calendar yesterday was great!
For my project today I chose a mini album titled "Thankful Heart" It has the mats in place for some pictures or more journalling, but I want to be able to use some pictures from Thanksgiving day. But I also already included a few pictures of my kids.
The pages are all pockets with hidden tags. I asked eac
h one of my family members what they are thankful for then recorded on the back side of the tags. I think it will be so neat to look back and see how this changes from year to year. Here is a picture of all the tags.
Here are pictures of all pages opened up
To make the pages I used some small boxes that I had gotten vitamin samples in, flattened them, cut the flaps off, covered them with some pretty paper from DCWV then bound them with my Bind it all, and VOILA, instant book with pocket pages!
The cartridges I used for this project are:
Thanksgiving
Lovely floral
Lacy Labels
Home Accents
Gypsy Wanderings
Paper Doll dress up
Ok, if you were here yesterday day you saw that I was offering a Cricut Cartridge for my blog candy, but I wouldn't tell you which one..well...
how does HOLIDAY CAKES sound?
If I make it to 100 followers I will add a surprise to the candy, and if I make it to 150 I will do another drawing for a different prize on Wednesday.
You don't have to be a follower to win (although I love new followers!) All you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post. If you left a comment on yesterday's post and you comment again you will get 2 chances to win. I will announce the winner on Monday.
Ok, on with the hop, your next stop is Looney Bug Designs. I'm sure she has another amazing project for us today!
