Wow, so many of you came forward to join us for Crate Paper's Autumn Blog Hop!! We are entirely overjoyed and honored by your visiting and taking part in the big event. We hope that you have found different techniques to inspire your thankful projects. With that said, we'd like to further extend a few additional ideas to you for creating projects/layouts based solely on those things your most thankful for. Here's a small sampling of "Thankful" layouts from the team!
Because Larissa wanted to not lose sight of her tag, she created this layout for housing it in her scrapbook album. And if you happened to not have noticed, Larissa wrote up a detailed tutorial for making the tag, so make sure to check out her blog! It's actually a great introduction to her scrapbooking process!
This next layout comes to us from Jen Chesnick! It's a simple, stylish layout about Jen's thankfulness in being able to spend quality time with her husband. Note our old friend, "Brook"! It's serene nature makes it perfect for scrapbooking on this subject!
Anne Jo Lexander mentioned that when she heard the word "thankful", she immediately thought of her experiences at the local newspaper, where she spent a year as a photographer. Anne continues to work closely with the newspaper as a freelance photographer even though she's a student. It's this experience that validates her passion for photography and that "yes", she can really do this! How cool is that?! Note the pile of newspapers at the front door..
This final layout is from Lori Gentile. In sending this layout, she explained to us that she tends to think on the past with regret and also, frets about the future. Though with this pattern of thinking, she's learning to live for today and to see it for the gift it truly is. It is her intention to practice thankfulness everyday.
Scrapbook.com also has a wonderful idea gallery. The link will take you direct to their Thanksgiving gallery for more thankful inspiration. Scrapbook.com Thanksgiving

It doesnt sell well enough to mass market it but doesnt expire in enough quantity to get rid of it and enrage like 10 people a day.
