Hi Friends!
There is so much wonder and joy in this world,
and for today's post I wanted to document something (and someone) that I am truly grateful for!
With this 'thankful' theme in mind, I looked out the Elle's Studio Grateful Journaling Tags, as well as a few of the Thanksgiving inspired items in this month's kit to create my page.
Here's what I came up with....
"Love This Moment"
Oh I'm so very Grateful for this moment!
Elle's Studio Supplies: November Kit, Tis The Season 6 x 6 Paper Stack, Let's Eat Stamp, Say Cheese Stamp, Holiday Puffy Stickers, Christmas Die Cut Labels, Tiny Holiday Label Stickers, Tiny Holiday Blank Label Stickers, Wood Veneer Holiday Phrases, Grateful Journaling Tags, Jane Alphabet Stickers - Navy.
Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Marshmallow, Staz On ink - Black, SpiegelMom Scraps Sequins- Into The Woods & That Summer Feelin'.
Let's take a closer look at this sweet page!
Such an awesome page for my sweet boy - so very thankful for him!
As I was creating a masculine page, I opted for a bold color scheme and an uncomplicated design. The green trim at the top of the page was created from the 6 x 6 Tis The Season Paper Stack, and matched that of the Give Thanks note card - perfect!
To hide the join where I butted these two strips of paper together, I overlaid a strip of one of the 6 x 4 note cards in blue. The blue really popped against the forest green color and in turn, created the ideal position to anchor my photo cluster from.
Such a fun way to use the 6 x 4 note cards if you're not a pocket page memory keeper!
As soon as I saw the Grateful Journaling Tags, I knew I had to use one of them to mount my photo onto. However, the white tag really needed a pop of color to draw attention into my darling boy's photograph. To achieve this, I arranged a few of the 3 x 4 note cards beneath the Grateful Journaling Tag & ensured that the colorful trims were peeking beneath the tag. I foam mounted the photo cluster for some gentle dimension, and then tucked in a variety of embellishments into those note card layers.
The circular Christmas Die Cut Labels added both shape and form to the photo cluster. I combined these labels with a few of the Tiny Holiday Blank Sticker Labels, and then tucked one the Tiny Holiday Sticker Labels (favorite view) under my photograph.
To complete the cluster, I added a mix of the Holiday Puffy Stickers in coordinating colors, and a couple of the die cuts from the November Kit.
The 'counting every blessing' puffy sticker is the perfect descriptor as to how I feel about this moment. So very blessed!
The stamps this month are so amazing that I had to use both of them on my layout. I started by repeat stamping the 'this was so good' phrase, as well as the tiny star from the Let's Eat Stamp.
Next, I took the 'favorite photo' stamp from the Say Cheese Stamp set and applied it to a blue Die Cut Label - which I also stapled and foam mounted for added interest. I used the fabulous Jane Alphabet Stickers in Navy for my title, and even used a few of the asterisks from this sticker sheet too! Again, the pop of blue really adds that point of interest to the layout!
To support the confetti-like stamped stars, I embellished with a few sequins from my SpiegelMemScraps sequins stash.
My layout could have been completed here but, with such a cool and crisp design, I felt it needed something else.... cue the Wood Veneer Phrases!
The wood veneer was the perfect addition. This embellishment added warmth, balance and even new texture to the page. Never under estimate the value of a good embellishment!
Simple. Bold. Striking!
A beautiful Thankful themed layout for my darling boy's album!
I hope I have inspired you to get creating with this month's kit and amazing new products!
Thanks so much for visiting today!
til next time,
