My Gratitude Book

Hello, Crafty Friends!!

Today I want to share with you My Book of Gratitude... It's a really tiny book where I will collect thought and memorabilia about moments and people of my life I want to thank.

I decided to use the Boulevard collection to create this Journal, because it's really warm and these color give me a lot of serenity.

The Journal is really easy to create.... Two pieces of chipbboards (I spread some gold glitter paste on the edges with a brush), two 6x6 papers with arlequin pattern, one olive green 6x6 paper and a spiral wire. 

For the title I used one of the tag on the 12x12 collection and pasted on it the "Thank YOu" sentiment with Gold Letters by the Thicker Boulevard.

In the first to pages I wanted to say why I created this Journal... Only to say Thanks to all the wonderful people and thing I have in my life....

The typewriter was perfect for this page!!! In the sheet of paper in the machine I could stamp two sentiments: "Just wanted to say" and "Many Thanks". So happy about this combo!!!

Now we can find three double pages: in the left part you can find the title and a place with some lines to write down the name of people or the things you are grateful for.

For example the first couple of pages are dedicated to Family... And of course I will complete it with the name of my parents, my husband and my "family in law".

In the right part you can find I pocket: I made it with the "Pocker Punch Board" by WRMK. Love it.

I used some roses by the colletion to create a stop for the flap on the top .
I will place in this pocket some pictures about my family and a sheet where I want to describe some important moment of my life with family.

The second double pages are dedicated to life. People I met at school, people I met thanks to my job... Things that happened to me and make me stronger, or help me to become the woman I am.

On the right part, another pocket for memorabilia.

Finaly, I want to say thank to Nature... 

I will take this Journal on my desk... I would like to read it everyday... Especially on the sad days, when everything seems to go wrong... When we need to remember how many wonderful things we have in the life.

Hope you enjoy this project. And hope you have joy creating your own Book of Gratitude.

Gratitude Layout with Angela

Hi everyone!

Angela here with you today sharing my latest layout featuring new Time & Place BoBunny collection. I love it! It has so many beautiful things to play with.

It's Thanksgiving theme on the blog this week. While we don't have Thanksgiving day in Italy, I certainly have many things to be grateful for.  One and the most important to me is my family. So my today layout is dedicate to the three men that hold my heart.

To create the layout I fussy cut all the card calendar that are on the patterned papers. Then I arranged them to create a circle. I placed the arranged calendars the back of November Time & Place paper and glued them on one side only. 

Then, I put a piece of foam adhesive on the opposite side of the cards so to have a raised up corner.  The result is a fun fan look.

I shortened of about 1 inch each side of the background paper and created a frame using other two papers from the collection,  February and August Time & Place. 

I decorated the page choosing carefully pieces that matched the colors of the photo. I found a gorgeous burgundi branch of roses and this cute dragonfly that I adore.

I also added teeny details like enamel dots, brads and layered chipboard stickers here and there.

For the title I used the alphabet stickers that comes with the collection. It has pretty multicolor letters but unfortunately they get lost on the busy background. So I decided to color half of each letter using gold glitter paste.

Voilà the result! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I can't wait to see what you'll create with beautiful Time & Place collection.
