Hello all!!! Yesterday was Thanksgiving here in Canada so I'm feeling rather stuffed from all that yummy turkey & pumpkin pie!!  Plus it's always so wonderful to get together with family.

 

Family and fall are what my layouts have in common today and I'm excited to share them with you.

 

In this first layout, "Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart" I used the Pumpkin Spice collection. This collection offers so many possibilities for creating layouts and any type of project. I love it!!

 

 

 

I incorporated some of the Bits & Pieces (diecuts) into my handwritten journaling.  It's a good idea to pencil in your journaling first when doing something like this. That way you can space your lettering and sentences accordingly. Make sure to use a pen/marker that will not smudge when you erase too.

 

 

I then added a bunch of stickers, diecuts pieces and enamel dots across the lower section to give a whimsical feel.

 

 

I love the rich & warm colours in this collection and in this second layout I chose to use the colourful wood patterned paper  on the front of my layout.

 

 

 

I wrote some of the things I'm thankful for on the 3x4 journaling card and added the most adorable chipboard coffee cup on top. 

 

 

I added a few chipboard leaves here and there on my page as well as a few word strip stickers.

 

 

 

I kept the layout simple with 2 photos and journal/title blocks that balanced it out on either side of the photos.  

 

Thanks for stopping by.  We'd love to see what you create with this fabulous fall collection called Pumpkin Spice.
