Lasting Memories - Blessed & So Grateful Thanksgiving Layout!

Hello! I'm so excited to be joining the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge Blog as a Guest Designer for another challenge week! This month the theme is Fall Celebrations, and this week our challenge is to create a layout about Thanksgiving or something that you are thankful for. Since today is the Sunday before Thanksgiving in Canada I thought I'd do a double page layout using photos from last year's celebration!

I'm using paper from a Recollections fall paper pad, which has some lovely gold foil elements in it and a watercolor look. This coordinated nicely with the watercolor florals in the Pink and Cream Bouquet Ephemera from Cheeky Studios and the AC gold word thickers. 

I added a bit more sparkle with some SpiegelMom Scraps sequins (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% at the SMS Shop!) I like using Ranger Multi Medium, which dries clear, to apply the sequins.

I used sentiments from the Tim Holtz Chit Chat Occasions sticker booklet in both black and white around my pages.

This pretty chipboard flower sticker and the ampersand from one of Paige Evan's collections also have gold foil on them and coordinate nicely. I based my layouts on a double page sketch from a Use Your Own Paper class from Scrapbookin' Adventures. 

We always do a table selfie at big dinners!

I was able to size some of my photos at 3x4 and add the journaling in the Project Life app on my phone. It is free now and is such a wonderful way to create photo collages before you print. This way I was able to get extra pics on my pages! I also always edit my photos with Pic Tap Go, which is well worth the money, and can be used within the PL app!
