Here is my project I would like to share with you today =D For the projects I made for you today...I took a different angle. Instead of scrapping about turkeys, pilgrims and the like, I decided to make layouts of what I am thankful for: My Family

So I have a two page layout of the "Joys of My Life" layout to share with you

and a one page layout of "My family portrait" I would like to share.

Here is the look at the entire two page layout

Page One

Page Two

For this layout I used papers from the DCWV Taj Mahal paper stack. I also used

Prima flowers, Imaginise flowers and journal cards from Reminisce's "Unwritten Journal Tablet" the metal alpha's I had purchased from Joann fabrics. The distress metal frame is from Making Memories. The chipboard frame was a bare chipboard frame also from Imaginise. 

Here is the second layout I have to share with you:

Thank you so much for stopping by along this blog hop I hope you are getting lots of inspiration and ideas from all these talented ladies! 

If you are not a follower of my blog yet I would love for you to become one and stay in touch =D I also have a Facebook Fanpage if you would like to stop by and "like" my page to follow along with me I would be thrilled. Here is the link:

I have something different in store for you today! I love the Christmas holiday season and all the decorations, music, and the ambiance of excitement all around. To me, the Christmas season begins the day after Halloween lol! If the decision were left to me...I would have the Christmas tree up the day after Halloween hahaha! So on November 1st I brought out the Christmas tree box and my husband rolled his eyes and said "Seriously?" and I told him that I had this bright idea of making it a "Thankful tree" =) I could have my tree up and turn it into a Thanksgiving tradition. 

I made leaves with my Cricut machine using the "Accent Essentials" cartridge and I put K and Company 3D sticker accents on them of things we are thankful for. I then added ribbon and hung it on the tree. Each day we add more leaves to the tree as we talk about what we are thankful for each day. The garland this was a HUGE undertaking lol!! It was simple to make but took 3 straight days from morning to night to finish it. I bought 4 yards of three different material and cut the material into 7inch by 1 inch strips. I tied them into little pinwheels with 4 strips for each one. I have a 7ft tree and it took all 12 yards of the material lol!! I loved how it turned out though and WOW I can't stop looking at our tree.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog along this hop! Please come back tomorrow 

and I will have more to show and tell =) 

There is a GRAND PRIZE at the end of this hop from our hop sponsor and remember to become a follower of each blog and leave a comment as well on each blog for your chance to win =D
