american crafts guest design

i was so flattered to be asked to guest design for american crafts this month.

the assigned theme was "i'm grateful for..." which made me even more excited! :) i had a blast playing with amy tangerine, nightfall, and garden cafe goodies!

here's what i came up with:

this first layout is about harper and all of the things about her that i am most thankful for.

this one is about how grateful i am that jimmy is home and our family is together again:

then there is my attempt at a card. teehee!

and last is my favorite project. i've decided to do a gratitude journal this month. here is the beginning of the journal..i still have lots to add!

thanks for looking!

for more details including links to all products used, check out the post at american crafts.

happy wednesday!

it's funny, I think every single one of my scrappy friends are either doing a creative thankful journal or blog posts on their thankfulness, just another reason scrappy people are the best most kind souls!
LOVE that card! always love the layouts!!!
and I LOVE LOVE LOVE American Crafts so MUCH!

love,

Fabulous projects!!! :)
I am feeling the need to do a gratitude journal, too, lately.
To focus more on the positive :)

I have that Amy T. mini and have been wondering what to do with it. I did a gratitude journal last year and now you've convinced me to use this mini for this year's journal. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
