A Thanksgiving 2011 layout & a note about Pinterest

There was a discussion over on the 'Two Peas In A Bucket' forum that asked if anyone has issues scrapping 'out of season' photos/layouts. For the most part, I don't. The only holiday/season I just can't bring myself to scrap out of season is Christmas. With that being said - I was in a 'fall' mood when I scrapped this and decided to get the few Thanksgiving photos I had out of the way.

I made this layout from a pretty basic sketch that I doodled up myself. My main goal was to work in a few layers of papers with tabs on them. I really like the look of tabs as opposed to flat edges. I think it makes layering all the more interesting. The orange dotted paper and the brown and orange strip are from American Craft's Night Fall collection. The chevron paper and pink paper are from American Craft's Dear Lizzy collection. I wish I could tell you where the grid paper and the floral background paper are from but I honestly have no idea! They were sitting in my scrap basket with no name to claim. The title is is made up of alphas via sticker sheets from Crate Paper's Emma's Shop and Simple Stories' Fabulous collection.

The round 'fall' embellishment and leave stickers are from American Craft's Nightfall collection. The little pie in the corner is also from American Crafts. The sticker at the very top and the 'Slice of the Good Life" sticker are both by Amy Tangerine. The pink paper bits that are spread out near the embellishments are all either punched out from my Fiskar's postage punch or my EK Success Binding edge punch. The "tasty" sticker is from American Craft's Dear Lizzy collection and the pink doily is from the sticker sheet that came with Simple Stories' Fabulous collection.

An IMPORTANT note: I only just recently realized that my blog has not been allowing people to pin my work. It was simply because I did not have the code on my page. The issue is fixed. I know many people are up in the air about Pinterest but please know that I don't mind at all if you pin my work! In fact, I encourage you to because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ;)
