Marvelous Monday #76

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 76th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
This week concludes my Thanksgiving ideas.  With all the mini pumpkins available, I thought it would be nice to add a tag to dress it up a little bit.  My plans are to use this as a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table.  Perhaps this is something you would like to try as well.

Have a Marvelous Monday and a blessed week.

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 75th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Today, I would like to continue sharing Thanksgiving ideas. Whether or not you can gather together with those close to your heart, you can share some gratitude and love with them using the Gather Together Stamp Set.  Loved ones near and far will feel your love and appreciation when they receive a hand-stamped card from you. If you would like to see the photos in more depth, simply double click the photos.

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 74th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Last week, I started a series of ideas for Thanksgiving, you can see what I shared in this post http://joyfulheartcreationsanddesigns.blogspot.com/2019/10/marvelous-monday-73.html  Today, I'm happy to share an idea for a gratitude journal.  I used a kraft color journal, added some patterned paper with the sentiment- "Everyday Moments."  The journal includes 24 pages, 4 each of 6 designs.  I'm also sharing some of the inside pages:

Marvelous Monday #73

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 73rd in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
As we begin the start of October this week, my thoughts are to share some Thanksgiving ideas over the next four weeks. To start out with, I have a Thanksgiving card using kraft color card bases, and envelopes sized 4x6.  The sentiment on this card reads, "gather together & give thanks."  When I create a card, I generally leave the inside blank to add a personal message.  On this card, I added a decorated 3x4 card from the Memories & More Magnolia Lane suite. The kraft card bases also have a silver-lined box that adds a polished finish to the inside of the card.

Today's Scripture Reading:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Matthew 6:25-27
Next week, I will continue to share Thanksgiving ideas.
May you have a Marvelous Monday and a blessed week.
