Thankful

Mountain Themes In Shades Of Blue

Hi scrappers! Thanksgiving is practically upon us so I thought I would post a layout this week that reflects on how thankful I am for the moments captured in all the photos I scrap. I’m thankful I live in a place where I can travel to so many beautiful places, both local and abroad. I’m thankful I’m happy and healthy and have the means to hike, dance, and pose in these photos and I am especially thankful for my husband and photographer who is the one who gets me off the couch and out of the house. Otherwise, all my photos would be of my cats or of me reading a book or sleeping in on the weekends. Not nearly as exciting. These particular photos where taken near Mount Whitney in California.

I used some blue cardstock from the Colorbok Ombre Energized stack as my background paper because it matched the blues in my dress. I paired it with some pale blue leafy paper from the Sara Papers collection from Paper Pizazz. These papers are so old I doubt they exist in any marketplace anymore. You can see in the video that the book is falling apart. I’m trying to use them up but I keep buying new pretty paper. I used a “Thankful” die cut from Pink Paislee’s Auburn Lane ephemera collection as my title. Some scrap pieces of paper were tuned into tags with some Momenta die cuts and my Sizzix machine. Stickers from Crate Paper’s sticker book and a Yuxian sticker book along with some wintery washi tape (brand unknown. I got it off Amazon.) add to the mountain theme.

This page was made for the November sketch over at Sketch N Scrap. The photos I had worked so perfectly since I only had three and was able to cut them down into squares.

This page was also created for the 3 in a Row challenge at A Cherry on Top crafts. I used Banner (little yellow banner sticker,) “Thankful,” and Any Shade of Green. It also qualifies for the November music challenge also at A Cherry on Top. The journaling “I go back to December all the time” is a lyric from a Taylor Swift song. These photos actually might have been taken in January or February. I can’t remember for sure, but the lyrics still seemed appropriate.

That’s all for this week. I’ll see you next week when it will almost be December. Can you believe it??
