Hi it’s Carol here bringing you this month’s story challenge all about gratitude. I want to you create a page telling us what you have gratitude for. It can be big or it can be small. What are you grateful for right now? What were you grateful for as a child? What do you think the future you will be grateful for about life today?
You may be grateful for life after a debilitating disease. You may be grateful for seeing the finish line in a running race. You may be grateful for a teacher who gave you the ability to help you learn to get your dream job. You may be grateful for that first cup of coffee in the morning, or a lie in on a Saturday morning. You may be grateful for a piece of technology or an experience you’ve had or a place you travelled to. You maybe grateful for a person, or a season, or a time in your life.
Do you have a daily gratitude mantra? Do you keep a gratitude journal?
Maybe you’re sitting there and not even knowing how to start. How about “today I am grateful for (someone)” or “today I am grateful for (something)” and tell us about it.
Big or small. Huge or tiny. It’s all relevant to you. Let’s read your stories about gratitude.
The creative team have jumped on board with some terrific example pages:
Cori’s page is so heartfelt. Nothing like a health crisis of such magnitude than to start a gratitude journal. To go through time in your life like that and still look for things to be thankful for is truly awe inspiring. And I bet this journal gives her a lot of solace now to look back on.
Supplies Cori has used: Partial Page Masks 07, Spectrum | Sherbet Scrapbooking Bundle, Cabana Whites Paper Pack, Love Twists Brushes and Stamps 01, today’s freebie and more.
Shannon has created a page documenting how thankful she is having all these wonderful cousins growing up and the extended family she has had the joy to be part of. Coming from a very small family myself this is really foreign to me but oh my, it does look amazing.
Supplies Shannon has used: All the new Artoptions Plum Grove goodies coming to the store very soon and Artsy Bookshelf Layers 01.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I admire Rae’s page, every last pixel, everything she has used for this amazing page. Her beautiful mum is front and centre and the lovely sentiment Rae expresses being grateful for her mother.
Supplies Rae has used: Watercolor Chromatics Roughed Up Photo Mats 01, Colored Filmstrips 04, Vintage Journal Spots 02, Chicken Wire 01, Curated Studio Mix Scrapbooking Kit 35.
And lastly for my page I document pure and simple how grateful I am for the two main men in my life, I will do a sequel to this one about the other two heavenly men in my life, my dad and grandpa, I think it will make a complete two page spread.
Supplies I have used: Vintage Artistry Serenity Solids Paper Pack, Vintage Artistry Countryside Transfers 01, Vintage Artistry Countryside Transfers 06, Edge Overlays 04, Photo and Journal Clusters 05, Painted Photo Masks Brushes and Stamps 06.
