Giving Thanks in Pockets with Kim Chaffin

Hello friends! It’s Kim Chaffin, and I’m here with a pocket page layout documenting Thanksgiving 2021. This was a special holiday for us because it was the first time we hosted the entire family at our house. We’re hoping to do it again this year, so it was important that I documented this day before this year’s Thanksgiving came around! Let’s take a look at my project!

Supplies | October 2022 KitThankful Die Cuts, Chipboard House Stickers, Autumn Tabs Stamp

When I saw the large, blue numbers in the Thankful Die Cuts, I knew immediately how I wanted to use them! I love to use numbers to connect photos in a layout to the corresponding journaling. In this case, I documented three things for which I was thankful.

Although this is a pocket layout, it is paired with a large photo of our entire family. This shines a spotlight on a focal image. Additionally, the pockets make it simple to organize coordinating photographs and journaling. The pocket tag with the houses gave me the perfect place to record my three reasons to be thankful.

I used the “Thankful” tag from the Thankful Die Cuts as my title on the large photograph. A chipboard house sticker paired with a heart helped to create unity throughout both pages. I added a bit of stamping and a rik rak tie, and my title tag was complete. I adhered it with pop dots to give it a bit of added dimension.

I just love the Autumn Days Stamp! There are so many fun options! 

I finished the layout with a couple of the chipboard stickers and a silverware die cut from the kit, which I layered with the blue number die cuts. These colors coordinated wonderfully with my autumn stories and photos! I know that I will get a lot of mileage from the October kit and add-ons this season, and I know you will too. I can’t wait to see what you create. Happy scrapbooking!
