thankful journal part 3

I didn't think I'd get to sit down and work on my thankful journal today, but I did :)  My craft room is now housing ALL the items from our basement bathroom/storage space so the construction crew could work on the ceiling today.  My basement is a crazy mess, but I'm seeing some progress so that's something.  On the boo side of things, my washer and dryer are being delayed another two weeks (uggghhhh)!  No fear because I'm going to turn a negative into a positive and get the laundry room repainted (which is much needed) and maybe get a few cabinets put in :)  As good friend would say, "all will be well"!  And it will!

 I used some Tim Holtz crackle paint on these frames. 

 How cute is that bow?  You can find the tutorial for it at www.makesomethingsplendid.com.

I think this page is my fave.  I love the gray, lacy flower trim!

One more week and it will be Turkey Day!!!  I'm ready :)

I got to sit down this afternoon and work on my Thankful Journal for a bit :)

One of the pages is vellum and I love the see-through effect it gives off, don't you?

This pic is one of my all-time faves :)  I printed a 5x7 photo out and then cropped it to a 5x6 so I could have room for the journaling spot at the top.

On this page, I followed the online video tutorial to make that awesome paper flower and I cut some felt to look like a strip of fringe and then rolled it up to make the pom-pom flower.  How cute is that miniature glassine envelope pocket?

I can't wait to make some more awesome pages this week!  Check out the website at www.makesomethingsplendid.com!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Happy Veteran's Day to everyone and happy 11-11-11!  I'm taking an online class that started yesterday from www.makesomethingsplendid.com and we are making a Thankful Journal.  You've got to check out this website...so many great online crafty classes are offered on it :)

This was the Thankful Journal kit I received in the mail.  It has everything you need to make the journal!

This is the front cover I just finished!

The classes for this journal are self-paced which is great for me because I've got a TON of things going on right now :)  (Hopefully I'll be an aunt again real soon!)

TGIF!
