November 2026 - Challenge #1 - So Very Thankful

 Welcome to the 1st challenge of November! But first, a reminder of our inspiration kit... 

"Grateful" from Miss Kate Designs

Today's challenge is simple - Create a LO inspired by the phrase “so very thankful” & include the word thankful, grateful or blessed in your title.

For this layout, I wanted to document a special memory from October 2025 when my husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We planned a dinner train ride to celebrate the occasion, and it was such a fun way to spend time together and mark this milestone. I pulled out my November Counterfeit Kit and found that the 49 & Market Vintage Orchard pieces were just perfect for this layout. The warm autumn colors and beautiful designs worked so well with the October anniversary photos. I did quite a bit of layering, mixing patterned papers and embellishments to add lots of texture and interest around my photo. For my title, I used the Thankful rub-on from the kit. It was the perfect finishing touch and a reminder of just how grateful I am for the years we've shared and all the memories we've made along the way. Thirty years of marriage is definitely something to be thankful for, and I'm so glad I have this special evening documented in my scrapbook!

I choose a fall themed photo of my youngest when she was about 3 years old. I wanted to use some of my Welcome Fall collection from Carta Bella. I also pulled in an orange cardstock paper as a base.  I used a smaller piece of the orange plaid, and turned over one of the corners and added a staple to add a little more texture. I also fussy cut out flowers from another paper from the same collection. I pulled in some of the stickers from the sticker sheet, including the top banner with some twine. I found a random Autumn chipboard sticker and for the challenge, and banner with Grateful on it.  The process is available on my channel: https://youtu.be/6aTd_gxMAFs

Stick around to see what else we have in store this month!
