28 Days of Thankfulness Scrapbook Journal



I saw a post last week on Two Peas in a Bucket forum asking if anyone was going to be doing a Thankfulness journal/scrapbook. Hmmmm...what exactly? So after reading what others had posted on the thread and looking at a few blogs, I thought what a great idea! Start on the 1st of November and then each day leading up to Thanksgiving, journal/scrapbook something you are thankful for. Then I thought why not make a kit and have a class at the OLL Craft Club that I go too? It was such a fun class! I even made kits..I kept it simple so that each day pictures and more embellishments could be added. To create the book I started in Microsoft Power Point.  I like Power Point because you can arrange blocks of text and pictures anywhere on the page. I created 14 slides with  "I am thankful for.."  twice on each slide. After I printed them on 81/2 x 11 white cardstock, I simply cut them in half. I adhered 14 pages together to make 7 stronger pages that were two sided. I used a (waiting-to-be-recycled) cereal box  sandwiched between white cardstock for the covers.   After misting, inking and embellishing the book I used a bind-it-all  for the class books (I used twine to tie the pages together on mine). I'm looking forward to Nov 1st! Here's my template as a PDF...happy creating!
