When I first saw the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit in the Holiday Catalog I knew I would probably never use it to decorate my table for Thanksgiving.... but I would use a scrapbook or a graditude journal and this had everything I needed in one kit!

I took the chipboard that came in the kit and cut it in half, then I whitewashed it with a little acrylic paint. I added some of the birch paper and then proceeded to add a few of the items from the kit: diecut leaves, chalkboard banner, linen thread, and the ribbon paper.

Then I proceeded to put the pages together. I used the pockets (meant to hold napkin and silverware) to hold a page that can be used for writing your thoughts, each page has a chalkboard frame for a picture and then is decorated using products from the kit.

When I was done with the whole album I layered them together and punched holes at the top for an O-ring binder.

There can be 10 pages for each journal, if you use all the napkin holders.

I look forward to filling this journal this Holiday season~

If you want to make this album just purchase the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit and get started.

Enjoy the Day~
