Thankful

I was inspired to do this album by the challenge issued by Stacy Julian at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Her challenge was “Give Yourself A Present Challenge” where she challenged everyone to snap ten photos of their life right now and scrap them into a tiny album that would fit in a purse. She used a mini mini Bazzill 2 inch square album. I created mine using the Bind It All and DreamKuts. This is a quick and easy project for those beginner mini book makers or those short on time mini book lovers.

Since it is Thanksgiving time in the United States, I decided to call my album: 10 Things to be thankful for..... I snapped and printed ten photos and produced m y album. My emphasis was on creating something quick and easy that I could carry with me. When times get tough or hectic, I just pull out my album and center myself again.
