And now for this weeks challenge...about being thankful!

As usual, you need to use something from your stash and if you are playing along with us, make sure to mention what hoarded items you used.

 

For this project I planned long ago to make a "attitude of gratitude" journal. What I didn't know then was that I was going to need this journal this month. (more on that later!)

I started this project with some old file folders and some three year old Fancy Pants papers that I had lying around. For my letters, I pulled out a super old stencil. I was too lazy to use my electronic die cut machine so instead I hand traced and hand cut all those letters. Makes a lot of sense huh? Well sometimes I'm funny that way! The tags that I used are also hoarded from a few years ago.

 

I used a lot of modeling paste just because I wanted the practice, I coloured it with distress ink once it was dry. I also added some cool prima tape...the only non-hoarded item on the page!

 

If you are wondering what the triangles are, they are earrings. When my grandma in law passed away I was given all her costume jewelry to use in my art. The problem was I never did because nothing I made was ever special enough for me to want to put it on there. I finally decided to go for it and I'm happy I did!

 

These are the two first pages on my journal, I'm getting the prompts from Attitude of Gratitude Blog and I'm hoping to catch up soon as I am really behind!

 

That's it for today, I really hope you will play along, here is the info for you to follow:
