Happy Thanksgiving

I am so glad that we as a design team can celebrate our first Thanksgiving with all of you.  Wow, time has flown by.  Many of us have traveled or will be traveling over the weekend to spend the holiday with our family and friends.  We pray for your continued safety as you travel to and fro. 

This week our challenge focused on what we are thankful for.  As you are feasting today, reflect on the things you have to be thankful for.

Don't eat to much but do enjoy.  Again, Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

In order for our designers to have time during this busy holiday season, all Time Out Thursdays will not resume until after the first of the year.  Please join us on Thursdays beginning in January for new and exciting Time Out Thursday videos, tutorials, and more.

Sincerely,


Design Team

Recipe Challenge

As the holiday season approaches and we near the end of the year, we have many reasons to give thanks. 

So this week, we challenged our designers to make a layout of their choice with five reasons they have to be thankful.

Saturday Surprise - "F" is for Family

A few weeks ago, I did a video for Time Out Thursday on making your own 3-D embellishments.  I had originally created this layout for our fall challenge but due to time, did not meet the deadline.  I then decided to go ahead and make layouts for each of my children with the photos but make each one unique.

These are pictures we took the weekend of my daughter's birthday.  All of the embellishements were created using my cricut and foam tape.  I am including my 12 X 12 layout and an 8 X 8 layout that will go in my daughter's book.  You may visit my blog later to view the three different layouts created for my children.

Thanks for looking.  I had fun doing these layouts.
