Thanksgiving will soon be here in the states and that means gathering together with family and friends and enjoying good food and great company. Even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving this is still a wonderful time to spend doing Autumn activities, cooking, baking and eating together, heading out and enjoying the cooler weather with family members. To capture all those wonderful memories today we’ll look at some inspiring scrapbook layouts that celebrate how grateful we are for our families.

Inessa used pretty chipboard flowers and die cut leaves backed with pattern papers to surround her sweet family photo. There’s also more dimension from puffy stickers, a tag tied with twine and gems. Notice how the photo and title are offset, it adds extra interest. Learn more at the Paige Taylor Evans blog.

Becki added color, pattern and texture to her Thanksgiving layout by stitching down strips of pattern paper for her background. She also added the title on a vertical along the edge and included some room for journaling and a few scatterings of embellishments. Take a closer look at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
