Happy Monday! I hope you had a chance to get crafty this past weekend for World Card Making Day. I used the opportunity to get going on some projects for the next couple of weeks. The Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 13th, next weekend. So I knew that the Top Dog Dies Pumpkin Album Steel Rule die and the Pumpkin Finishers set was perfect to make a gratitude journal for the occasion. Next weekend the whole family gathers at the cottage to enjoy the beauty of the season and have our Thanksgiving dinner. I am happy to say that my husband and both kids will be there this year, for that I have a lot to be thankful for.
I created my book using cardstock for all the pages cut with the Pumpkin Steel Rule Die, and the Pumpkin Finishers for the leaves and the stem. I cut a Vintage A2 Mat in green for the centre of the cover and I dusted off my Zutter. Lots of pages for everyone to write down what they are grateful for this year...
