Hi there and welcome to Papertrey Ink's Monthly Moments: November post. This is such a fun collection of products and they're all about counting our blessings and celebrating all that we've been blessed with.
Along with the Monthly Moments: November stamp set and Journal Card Pad, I've incorporated the new Phrase Play #10 stamp and die...it's so beautiful and I love the sentiments. I've also used the November Digital Download throughout my pages too.
I've never even thought about documenting our Thanksgiving feast, so for now, you'll notice that I'm not focusing on that occasion, but rather the little moments in life that are happening right now. My little girl is currently very excited about learning to play the clarinet and I love watching her tackle a new responsibility. I stamped my sentiments from the Monthly Moments: November stamp set on a Double Ended Banners die and a Tremendous Tag. The sweet tiny letters on my tag and then used as a border across the top use the new Type Strips die and stamp set.
Heather's images used throughout her Journal Card Pad are some of my most favorites...love the rustic touches.
I always connect "home" to November and Thanksgiving, so I've counted my home and a few things found inside and out as my blessings as shown in these pages.
I stamped my image from the Monthly Moments: November stamp set on a die cut Limitless Layers: 2 1/4" Hearts and a Heart Stitches die.
I included a recipe since baking is a common occurrence and something that makes our home happy around here. I slipped it underneath the photo so it can be pulled out and used and then tucked away after.
I printed it on a die cut Monthly Moments: Journal Card 2 and then attached it to a die cut Monthly Moments: Journal Card 3.
I used the November stamp set along with the Digital Download here again and added a few more of the Type Strip stamps and dies...these are so much fun :).
My washi tape and wood embellishments are all from Freckled Fawn.
Thanks so much for visiting!

The sepia photos and the sweet journaling combined with the colours of November MM is stunning. Love these pages, Melissa. By the way, sorry to have to tell you this, but your "little" daughter is not so little anymore. :)
