happy thanksgiving

As promised, here are a couple shots of what has made it

so I can not see the floor of my office :)

I made these adorable little place cards for our Thanksgiving Dinner tonight at my Mom and Dad's. I used Bella Blvd. "Finally Fall" patterned paper for the face of each card, added a bakers twine bow, a word sticker sentiment, printed each person's name on cardstock, punched them out and raised with 3D foam.

I even stamped lines on the inside for everyone to write what they are thankful for

and then I will add them to a layout for our family album !!!

Once each month Bella Blvd. offers a quick and easy

"Project Sheet". The layout above was designed by Laura Vegas and I LOVED it, so I sat down and put it all together with these great shots of Alexander last Halloween.

Scrapbookin' Adventures has "Too Cute To Spook" in stock now so head into the shop, pick up your product and create this for your own album !!

.....and.....last but not least for today......I created this layout to be ready for the pictures I am going to take tonight at our family dinner.

I have LOTS on the go right now so I thought I'd be organized and whip up this fun layout and 'just add photos' :):)

If you'd like to create this one at home for your own album, keep reading.......
