Gratitude Mini Album

Do you "do" Black Friday?  I am not sure the sales are worth the hassle!  I would love to hear the deals you've scored (past or present).
When I posed my gratitude layout, I mentioned the coordinating mini album we made.  Everything was cut with the CTMH/Cricut Artbooking cartridge (except I managed to cut the rectangles myself).  I set my dial size at 5" and everything, no matter what key I chose, cut to scale to fit nicely.

We kept the pages fairly simple so that photos and journaling would take center stage.  We can always go back and add a little more bling once we've completed the pages if they're lacking.

All the paper is from the Huntington paper pack plus Colonial White cardstock.  Barn Red is such a great color, and we also used Desert Sand and Slate.
I'm linking this album up to the Color Dare color challenge #70: Autumn Terracotta, Barn Red, and Olive.


We left the back cover plain card stock.  To me, it's easier not to have embellishments on the back so that it lays flat.

  1. I do not usually go shopping on Black Friday. I agree, it's not worth the hassle... And I'm so tired from Thanksgiving that I want to sleep in! LOL! Your gratitude journal is amazing and such a wonderful idea. We really do have a lot to be Thankful for. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! Thanks for playing at Color My Heart!
