ValerieT Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 November is a time for counting our blessings and remembering to be thankful for all that we have. We thought we would help you scrap some of those blessings with our November Count Your Blessings Forum Game. Tasks will be posted Monday through Saturday. The first day, you will be given a theme for your layouts. The next day you will be given something to add to your layouts and the third day you can post your layouts and talk about them in the thread. Then we will repeat the process with a new theme. You will be prompted to create 2 layouts a week, for a total of 8 layouts. Each layout you complete and post in the Count Your Blessings Gallery will be worth one entry in the prize draw to win one of five $5 gift certificates for the Scrap Girls Boutique.

CRS Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 November 2- Ahh, Families! They are a treasure! Start a layout about your family or a specific relative. Journal about what a blessing that person/people are or why you are thankful to be related to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessrunningfingers Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I thought I posted on here a few minutes ago. Oh, old age, what have you done to my brain? I just saw this today and plan to participate. I am thinking about a layout already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Big Hugs for you Joyce! I hope you find some comfort in the memories as you scrap.... I worked on my LO today and ended up using a photo of my cousins with my siblings and myself after my grandfather's funeral. I'm using Jennifer's club and I love it!

CRS Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I found the task to be relatively easy once I decided on which photo and who to use! I am thankful for all my family, but went with my cousins for this since we were all together last month for the first time in years.

Bride Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm with Carla in that I found the task relatively easy. It was fun going back through this year's photos to get one of us all together - back to January, and I can really see some changes. I will post once the gallery is up. Here is mine: Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I found the first layout to be quite easy. I thing they are going to get harder and harder as we go along. Will post my layout when we get a link or did I just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ande43 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Mom and Dad Will add Journaling to this as I get ahold of the info I need....That is what I had problems with....I know it was in the 1930's but can't put my finger on the things I have stashed "Somewhere" here, .....

princessrunningfingers Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It didn't require any thought to know who I wanted this layout to be about, and the journaling came fairly easy. That said, I did become very emotional while I was doing it. Blessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 My grandchildren are the world to me so I had to make the Family page about them, however their parents are pretty special too. I found it very easy to do which I really liked for this busy week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 For a change, this task was easy. I knew the exact people, photo and collection I was going to use. This is one of my favorite photos of my boys (includes DH)--also invokes some strong emotion. It was taken after one of DH's sports forums. We would soon learn how drastically our lives were about to change. Little did I know . . . and yes, that's a good thing.

englishrose Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Here is my first blessings LO. I found this easy for 2 reasons : my Dad was an abvious choice as soon as I saw the challenge and also because I decided to make life easy for myself and use Jif and album pages wherever possible to save time. The hardes part perhaps was the journaling - I didnt want it to appear too gushing. My dad would hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
