Good morning krafty friends! It's SEPTEMBER and that means it's time for a brand new SKRAPPY CHALLENGE with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD! For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card! So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation! As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize! For my project today I made a handmade Thankful journal with a 6x6 sheet of patterned paper from the September SCT Sampler Pack. I used the We R Memory Keepers Book Binding Tool and added in copy paper and started decorating! This cute belly band on the front of the book keeps the book closed when I'm not using it and I had so much fun decorating it!


I created a little pocket inside the front cover with some paper and washi tape, glued around the edges and bottom - perfect to tuck those sweet tags into! I love the x's on the
Pattern Parade Stencil and added more leaves and another stamp from the uplifting
Happy Thoughts Stamp.
I added washi and various diecuts from the SCT Sampler along with the fabulous You've Got This stamp from the
Happy Thoughts Set again, and this time stencilling the little dots.
I cut a smaller piece of patterned paper to fit in my book before I stitched it to add another fun element. I used some more washi and ephemera and stamped this sweet paper airplane from the
Happy Thoughts Set.
I decorated one more page today and added the Count Your Blessings sentiment from
It's Turkey Day. I'm going to love filling in this journal, and I think even though life is hard, remembering all the things we are thankful for make a difference in how we see the world. 💗
I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!!
