I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for, and although, this layout only lists five they are my most basic and deepest thankful thoughts. I have learned not to take any of them for gratitude, and I'm trying to recognize my blessings more and more each day.

Just a couple of notes on this layout:

* The chipboard quote marks were actually old ones from American Crafts, but I turned them over and used Dark Brown Chalk ink to recolor them. Easy peasy!

* The "give" part of the title is embossed with Zing Embossing Powder from American Crafts, and the "thanks" is cut with the Silhouette machine.

* The bottom "pattern paper" is just a sheet of cardstock with a leaf stamp which I turned 180 degrees for each new column of stamping.

* The journaling is typed on strips and then just posted vertically. Simple, but a dynamic twist on journaling strips.
