  |
|
“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” — William Arthur Ward
.
This week you challenge is to create a Gratitude Journal.
.
.
Once your journal is made take a few minutes each day to record something you are grateful for. It can be big, small, routine or amazing!
.
.
I used Maya Road Scroll Coaster, Pink Paislee Amber Road Line , Zing Embossing Powder in Pewter to make mine.
.
I started by using mod podge to adhere the Pink Paislee Papers, then trimmed the edges and lightly sanded. I then used an embossing ink pad to coat the edges of the album and applied the Pewter embossing powder and heated. Giving the edges a nice uneven finish.
.
I hand cut a smaller scroll using one of the tags in the Pink Paislee Amber Road line to layer onto the book.
.
A third layer was created using a "notebook" paper form Scenic Route and cut using the Making Memories Slice. I also embossed the edges of these tags. These will be used for recording my daily gratitudes.
.
Feel free to ask any questions. And make sure to add your projects to the gallery and link them up in this thread by November 30th. All projects entered will gain one chance to win a ScrapGal gift certificate. And as a bonus all projects completed for week #1 will be entered to win a RAK from me!
