Thankful 30 Journal 2023

 Hello Creative Friends!

Do you participate in the Thankful 30 documentation practice? I have done it in the past. I do believe documenting our gratitude is extremely important to our mental and physical health. Having said that, I am not very successful in completing a 30-day documenting practice in the month of November. The traditional month for making a Thankful 30 notebook. 

I was so excited for the AUTUMN DAYS collection from Journals For Life, that I am going to give the project another try. I'm changing the "rules for myself though. I started this album in October and plan to document a few gratitudes a month through January. That gives me four months to complete the notebook. I can do that!  I am very happy with my decision to do this as I feel we should be grateful all year long and not just in November. 

Here is my title page. 

 

Here is a closer look at the title. I used the ALEX stamp set from Journals For Life. I stamped the letters on a separate piece of paper and then fussy cut out the letters. I do this often when I want to play around with the placement of an image. 

This leaf pattern may be my favorite page in this month's notebook. I did add a few die cuts, washi tape, and stamped the year to finish off the page. 

I am ready to get started! Let me know if you are doing a Thankful 30 this year. I'd love to see your pages.
