Thanksgiving

I took time to scrapbook this weekend. It always helps clear my mind.
Lilybee Catching Fall papers and stickers; American Crafts Thickers and glitter brads; Ranger Distress ink (Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap); unknown cardstock and felt flowers. I hand-cut the shadow for the tittle. That was probably the most time-consuming part of this page.

Eating with gusto

I love these photos. Actually, I love watching my little one eat a turkey leg ;)
Authentique Genuine papers and cardstock from the Apron Strings STBB April '12 kit. Other: Jillibean Soup alphabeans; Ranger liquid pearls; Creative Impressions pearls; Signo gel pen; unknown leaf, pin, ribbon, and buttons.

It's been a while since I made my own embellishments... even though all I did here was twirl some cardstock and fill the centers with liquid pearl.

Happy Fall

For this layout I just let the Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Fall papers do their own thing:
Other: Glossy Accents, Signo gel pen, and washi tape.

I was going to add a different title, but I liked the border as it is. I think this was one of the fastest pages I ever made.
