Hello Stampers!
Thank you for joining us today!
Our theme to start off the month is anything showing gratitude.
I make a gratitude journal every year around this time. Here is the one for this year – 
Simply elegant!
I used the Fond of Autumn bundle for the focal point and the modified sentiment on a small notebook found online.
The leaves and acorns were colored with various Stampin’ Blends. This piece was actually left over from a previous card as the die can make multiple cuts from the larger focal point. Win – win!
I did partial stamping for the sentiment and added the dots. This is a fitting sentiment for some special thought for the month, or anytime.
A Crumb Cake circle grounds the focal image and makes it stand out.
The Pearl basic Jewels were the right addition to soften everything. These are more of a cream / beige color and go well with the Very Vanilla card stock.
All these elements could easily be placed on a card with beautiful results as well.
Please check everyone out on the hop today. We are grateful for your compliments too!

Your journal is lovely. I like the pop of earth tones on the black.
Thank you Tanya. The contrast is very nice. A change from the typical fall colors.
Stunning design for you journal. I love the simple elegance and this lovely color combination.
What a great idea to keep a gratitude journal! We all need reminders of the things for which we should be thankful. Making the journal pretty would encourage me to use it regularly! 😀
What a perfect project for this theme! I love this little notebook of “happy” gratitude. Thanks for sharing 😊
