Being Grateful.....

This is usually the time of year when we are “Grateful” for everything in our lives  …the people that mean the most… you look at the things around you and see what means the most!!! The definition of grateful is …. feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful. So I have decided to make some project life cards with my leftovers and take them with me when we visit our families for the Thanksgiving holiday and have them write on the cards what some of my family members are grateful for …..

 

All of the cards have their names on them and I used lots of fun products in the store …go check them out right here…. http://shop.whimsicaltwist.com/

 

And here is a close-up of some of my cards:

And here is another page that I made using these fun feathers ....love them!!!

And here is a close-up of those fun flowers:

A "Thriller" of a page!!!

I had so much fun this month with these songs ...this week it was "Thriller" by Michael Jackson...

Here is a link to the blog

 

This time I used part of the title of the song as part of my title ....my oldest is such a "Thrill" rider on all rides ....and guess who usually has to ride the rides with him ...ME!!!

Now he is old enough to ride them by his self ...but old mom still likes to ride a few!!!

These pictures are from a few years ago from riding the "Tower of Terror" at Disneyland!!!

Here is my page:

Monthly Challenge at WT!!!

On Whimsical Twist this month the challenge is to use:

Scallops/boarders/ Banners/ Doilies

I tried to do it all on this page... I used my scalloped scissors on the corner of the fun Glitz Finnley paper, and then added a boarder strip to the top and bottom of my page from the strip that came on the top of the Finnley paper, I also made a fun small banner under my "Cozy Cone" picture to look like a "Cozy Cone" out of the small Glitz 6X6 pad and Kimmie also sent me these super cool gold Doilies that I cut up and added bits and pieces to my page!!! FYI ....when you go to the California Adventure side of the Disneyland park in "Carsland" when it get to be dusk they turn on the neon lights and the song " SH-Boom, SH-Boom" comes on ...it is just magical!!! 

So go check out whimsical twist

 Let the inspiration of school flow with all the wonderful school themed challenges this month from Scap it with a song this month!!!

This is the page that I did because if you listen to the words in the song they say "lets dance" ...so that made me think of Colton and Bailey dancing at the Phineas & Ferb's Rockin' Rollin' Dance Party on the California Adventure side of the park ...we had sooo much fun that trip!!!
