Here are a few pictures of a mini-album that I recently put together for a class this fall. It's a gratitude album...a place to keep a few snapshots of things you're thankful for. I know from experience that it is helpful (therapeutic, even) to focus on the good things in life rather than dwell on the difficult things that cannot be changed. A gratitude album helps you remember and focus on life's blessings.

For this project, I used papers and journaling cut-outs from Bo Bunny's new "Beautiful Life" line. The fall colors made me think of Thanksgiving.

For this project, I played around with different photo options and eventually decided to print a few favorites in sepia tone. Other than heritage projects, I haven't done much with sepia tone photos. I really like how the brown photos blend in color with the paper.

I'm looking forward to teaching this class in November, just in time for Thanksgiving!

Another beautiful album. The sepia tone does go beautifully with this project. Good job, Janet.
Janet, I just love that Bo Bunny paper! It is beautiful. I also love the idea of printing the photos in Sepia. I do that often. Great album. I think I might do one myself. Its small enough to work on and maybe get me back into things around here. Thanks for the great idea!
Gorgeous! All those colours are perfect for fall and I love the idea of this!
Sharon-Thank you! I'm happy with the sepia tone photos...it was a fun change!
Lynn-I loved the paper when I saw it online, then when our store rec'd the shipment, it was even prettier in person. It would be awesome for you to make an album...I've made a few different kinds of gratitude albums over the years and they always help me. They're great to look back on when you're feeling a little down, too. Good to see you back, Lynn!!
Colleen-Thank you so much! Fall colors are my favorites! :-)
