Give Thanks Blog Hop

Pin It

'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding. 

Alice Walker

Welcome to the Give Thanks Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Amanda's Blog or if you are lost start at the beginning (Alicia's blog).  As we approach the holiday season, I think it is appropriate we should reflect on things for which we can be thankful.  We can be grateful for the little things and we should be grateful for the big things.  We should take the time to give thanks for all the persons and moments that make our lives so special.  

Sooooo, we would like to say a HUGE THANKS to our sponsor today.

Theresa is giving away a $20 Stampin' Up Gift Certificate to one lucky winner AND

take 10% off any order placed through her (not available on website) by November 30th. 

Email her at scrapsbygracie@gmail.com with your order. 

All you have to do to win this fabulous prize is comment on each of the blogs.

That's it! It really is easy.  

Of course, we would love it if you became a follower too. 

Comment buttons can be found at the bottom of the post (on most of the blogs).

Now on with the hop!

I am thankful everyday for my family and my friends. I hold them dear to my heart and couldn't live such a happy life if they were not in it! I am also thankful for this amazing hobby we share. It helps me relax when I am stressed, it helps me preserve memories of the people I love, and it allows me to reach out and inspire other people in the process! Crafting is good for the soul!!

I decided to create a Giving Thanks Layout using SVG files by Creative Kuts.
I have had this file in SVG stash for some time. It's adorable!! SO I am thankful I am finally creating this layout for you to see.

I will be saving this for this year's Thanksgiving photos. I hope I get some good ones. My silly family is the worst at taking pics when I want them to. LOL!

Up next is my talented friend for whom I am thankful...

I have another delightfully spooky SVG file from Creative Kuts to share with you today.

Okay I know what you are thinking, that this isn't spooky at all! But look at that spooky spider and those webs! Yikes!! LOL! I just love the web frames and borders.



I love adding pop dots and inking to make my die cuts look more dimensional.  This layout has so much great texture. I know it's hard to tell from the photos.

And I had to include a close up of the stars! This ghost and cat are all dressed up and ready for some serious Trick or Treats. I added Peachy Keen faces to them but this file does come with paper faces as well.

Thanks so much for checking out my project! I hope you have an amazing time going through day 2 of our projects! These ladies worked hard!!

Let's get this Monster Party started!

I had so much fun creating this little mini book for Halloween. It is just perfect for setting out on the coffee table this time of year.



This mini album was creating using an SVG file from one of our sponsors, Creative Kuts. I know this ghost isn't very scary but I just couldn't resist!

 

 

 I also used a package of No Longer Available Creative Memories Paper and Embellishments.
They really made this book come together very easily. Too bad you can't get this anymore, it's really a fun kit.

 And Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon was perfect for tying it all together!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another super spooky project from me and my friends!!
