Come play with me!

I'm creating a Gratitude mini album this year. I've got details on my Blog. I'd love it if some other Sweet Shoppers would play along with me. Instead of just posting what you are thankful for this year - make a page each or every few days. At the end of the month you'll have a great mini album to remind yourself what you were thankful for this year.

Here's a sneak look at my day one layout.

I can't wait to see what everyone else makes - come post your layouts here daily for inspiration and encouragement to finish the project.
 
This is no pressure ladies so even if you decide to just make a "Top Ten Things I'm Thankful For" album please play along in this thread. I hope this will be a fun project for this month.
 
Cute Monica - I love that template. I'm now tempted to make a second mini album. One for the family and one for me personally.
 
I love the templates you're using too. I haven't seen them before and I'm tempted to pick them up and save for an album next year. I love this idea and wish I'd done it before. I was so excited to see this post and that it's in the Portfolio challenge as well!!
 
I love this idea Juli - I've been trying to think of an idea for a new mini album & I think this is it :) Yours looks gorgeous BTW!
 
Our church is encouraging us to do a "25 Days of Thanks" campaign and list five things each day for which we are thankful. This will be a great way to incorporate the two. I may have to do this!
 
Oh... I started working on mine yesterday but my printer is broken, so mine might not be hybrid like I was hoping :( I helped Moriah and Isaac make lunch bag journals too so they can play along too :)

but I love your first page Juli!!! :wub:

Love this!! I'm really hoping to stick with this this year and make a 4x6 mini-album of them. I want to make it a tradition of sorts, so Callen grows up being a thankful person.

Yes, Kjersti I am going to post daily or every other day. And I'm going to pick a few pages from others to post on my blog each day! So come share your digital and/or hybrid pages here!

Heather - I think it's a great idea to have your kids play along with paperbag albums. What a brilliant idea!

Jessica - no one says you have to do all 30 days. Just do a Top 10 or whatever speaks to you. The idea is to start and finish the project and be thankful when your done. :)

Tanyia - I want to see your pages anyway girl!

Okies :) Just making sure, I always feel wierd posting stuff somewhere if it isnt from there ya know?

Here is my cover

 
Okay Julie - you've convinced me!! I think this is a BRILLIANT idea. I'll make my cover page and day one tonight!
K
 
this is a great project - I have been wanting to make one since I saw this on pinterest (I guess you have to click the link - it wont let me borrow the image!)
 
I always post something on my blog each day of November and then I usually just scrap the whole thing at the end of the month into one page!! I'm still gonna do that and I'll post my finished page but maybe I'll try to do a little 5x5 album with a photo since I have instagram this year and I'm always snapping photos!!! Hmmm....something to think about!!!!
 
Oh Jessica - I love the dark wood background with the bright colors!

Tanyia - I think as long as you aren't linking up other designers it's okay. We are sharing our ideas. It looks great!!!

Elizabeth - I love your idea to put each day's thankful thoughts on a big layout. Looks great.

I will be back tomorrow with my day 2.
 
It's me again with another question - are you posting these on your facebook pages?
 
I'm really excited to do this! Was thinking about it last month, then saw Darcy & Meg's template album and have been eyeballing it ever since! I'm just about to hit 'purchase'. lol I really think I want to do it hybrid though so I'm wondering...what type of album/book are you using or are you just holding them together with a ring?
 
this is my cover... I gessoed up my page 1 and printed a few things but I haven't really worked on it... I figure as long as I have my words for each day I'm good... I'm doing it on FB so at least I'll know I did it every day and not feel behind, like I do with PL LOL

I love everyone's pages.

I'm printing my pages and mounting them on kraft cardstock. I punched a hole in the upper left corner for a book ring. You could even print and put in a 4 x 6 album if you use Meg and Darcy's album - it's sized 4 x 6.
 
that is what I am planning on doing is making all my pages 4x6. I might use templates for some but I am not sure yet.
