Thankful Season Journal is getting underway!

So this has worked out better than I hoped.  I find that I cannot enter something everyday - too much regiment for me.  I  need a little more creative freedom.  But rather by using pictures and events, when my energy level is up to par.... I can add pages of good stuff!

Calendar with SmArty

SmArty Owl and Birdhouse
These pages were added out of order, but in a binder they are easy enough to re-arrange.  I have been working on my SmArty pieces at night (see inspiredgrace5.blogspot.com) and then the individual pictures were added by sending my favorite pics to Walgreen's.com and using the photo collage tool.  These collage pics are then cut apart and mounted on cardstock.  Another great TV watching activity.  Then I can add them to the pages whenever I have time.

 I used bristol paper (heavy cardstock) for the pages, as well as cardstock church bulletins.  Double side tape worked well to hold the pages in place.  Then I could affix the pictures and cutouts also using dbl face tape, but a glue stick might work just as well.  

The neat cutouts with the Thanksgiving decorations and ladies in color came from Dayspring Illustrated Faith.  They have neat ideas and products to be used in Bible Journaling.
