November 2024 Challenge #1 (Thankful)

Hello, hello!  Master Forger Vikki here with the first challenge of the month.  Let's take a look at our inspiration kit, which is Goldenrod by Traci Reed Designs.

This challenge is all about being thankful.  Create a layout or project about something you are thankful for.  This is the perfect time of year to count our blessings.  You can document family, friends or even your favorite seasonal coffee blend.  Let's take a look at how our guest designer and Master Forgers took on the challenge.

Thankful pages are a favourite of mine.  I picked this picture of my daughter as she came home for a long visit in October.  It was the first time in 5 years that she was home for Thanksgiving.  I chose to do a multimedia page using acrylic paint and modeling paste.  My journaling genie had a little row of leaves and pumpkins at the bottom.  I also forged the number from the inspiration kit.

Master Forger Ryann is still working on her album from when she and her husband were dating two years ago.  She has been hearing the words to a Bible verse resonate in her ears lately, and felt that this would be the perfect time to document how she feels her husband reflects that verse, and how thankful she is for him.  She used several of the pumpkins that she forged earlier in the month for this layout - despite the fact that they didn't really turn out the way she had envisioned they would.

I have a lot to be thankful for, but I chose my favorite subject to scrap and the most thing that I am thankful for, is my 5 beautiful grand kids .I am definitely blessed. My layout came together fairly quickly after I chose the photo and papers.

Adult friendships are sometimes hard to maintain, let alone build from scratch.  I chose to document a great friendship that I have.  The photo was taken in October, so this kit was perfect to use.  I mixed the fonts to make for an interesting title and framed the photo with three simple embellishments.  A sprinkle of enamel dots completed this layout.
