Welcome

Thanksgiving is just days away! If you are like me, you'll spend most of Thursday cooking away in the kitchen surrounded by flavorful smells and the warmth of being amongst family and friends. Be sure to take the time to record the events of the day with pictures, but also to write down your thoughts and feelings so you can accurately portray your emotions in your scrapbook. 

Best Wishes for a meaningful Thanksgiving celebration, and Happy Crafting!

This article will give a few ideas for preserving those memories.

scrapbooking tip
Start a family tradition of asking what each family member is thankful for this Thanksgiving. Create a scrapbook with a photo of each person and a caption of what they are grateful for. You'll enjoy looking through these albums each Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

Making Your Own Fabric Embellishments

Using fabric on your pages is a great way to add some texture and extra dimension. Making your own embellishments from fabric allows you to create unique page elements and use fabric scraps at the same time. This article shows will show several ways to use fabric embellishments on scrapbook pages.

You can also match your page perfectly. Simply choose a coordinating fabric. Fabric can be found at your local fabric or craft store, but also check your scrapbook store. More and more stores are starting to carry fabric in addition to traditional paper supplies.
