Thanksgiving Scrapbook Pages

 
Today I have a couple of quick scrapbook pages.  I have created a Thanksgiving scrapbook in which I have single page memories from our Thanksgivings from the time we moved to our current home.  I like to have the album sitting out for folks to enjoy reminiscing.  But, I suddenly realized that I was 2 years behind (since we didn't host last year, I hadn't gotten it done!).  So, here I have a couple of quick scrapbook pages that bring us current.

It's hard for me to find a good place to get pictures of my work where the lighting is good.  The lighting wasn't great for these.  The background was a bit more brown and the matting a bit more orange than what it looks like.  
 
I used a corrugater on the large orange mat to add some texture.  The mat under the focal is a piece of the napkins used for that dinner.  Embellishments were from my stash.  I combined two documents from our Thanksgiving celebration into one to create what you see in the lower right corner.
 
2024:

The background is the same brownish cardstock used on the previous one.  I added a patterned paper from my stash and a few embellishments I found there too.  Quick & easy.

Makes for Some WCMD Challenges (& Upcoming Club Samples)
