In the mood for a Thankful project? (and a giveaway?)

In the mood for a Thankful project? (and a giveaway?)

IMG_6430

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There's no rush to buy gifts, no fireworks to illegally amass, no Easter baskets to fill. You just get to spend a day being thankful. And full.

This year, I wanted to celebrate the season by taking that gratitude and showcasing it inside of a simple album that everyone in my family and extended family can contribute to.

The idea is simple. I first read about it back in a special issue of Simple Scrapbooks magazine called Mini Albums in an Evening from a thanksgiving photo album designed by the talented Celeste Smith. You invite family and friends to write what they are thankful for on a card, and pair it with a photo of that person, and save them in a simple 4 x 6 photo album.

So off to Target I went to pick up a little 4 x 6 album for $3.99.

IMG_6475

Next, I designed my journaling cards, printed several copies onto my favorite white cardstock, and trimmed them out.

IMG_6416

I chose one sheet of patterned paper to best match the album and the orange color I'd picked for both my type and my circle tag.

IMG_6420 

I added a small strip of patterned paper to the cards, to dress them up a little. Of course, you could add a date stamp, a small photo, embellishments—whatever you like.

I popped the title page into the album…

IMG_6405 

…and I designed one optional title page, too.

IMG_6409 

And now the album is ready to be filled up with gratitudes saved and photos of people that I love.

All I have to do now is place the blank journaling cards on our Thanksgiving table and ask everyone who's there to grab a card and jot down a few things they are thankful for.

IMG_6392 

This would make a wonderful gift to give to whoever is hosting your Thanksgiving celebration.

Of course, you don't have to limit this idea to Thanksgiving Day. You could make the whole week of Thanksgiving—or even the entire month of November—as a time to encourage your family to use the cards to write down daily gratitudes.

Take this idea and run with it! It's a simple concept that can be adapted many different ways.

Or, if you want to run with it and don't want to do the leg work, you can buy these templates at Designer Digitals as part of my Thankful Album Project set.

(Files come in layered PSD docs for Photoshop Elements and Photoshop users (including 3 size options to create circle tags for your album), and PDFs (in black ink only) for non-PS users. For you PSE newbies, there are instructions included showing how to change the colors of the elements to customize the project.)

And be sure to check back tomorrow morning for a REALLY thankful giveaway I've got planned that you won't want to miss.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you! I am very thankful to you for sharing yourself with all of us. Actually, I have already downloaded this fun project from DD and have made up my cards…ready to go. Wish I could say the same for the rest of the house, cooking etc. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

  47. Judy in Huntsville AL says

    Love these! Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday too – for exactly the same reason you gave – I am so relaxed and enjoying visiting that I often forget to take photos [like yesterday when we had 12 members of my family here to celebrate – and you I took only one…] But with this little idea I think we could use photos from throughout the year…Thanks for the opportunity to win! – J

  54. amber says

    I surely would love one of these little books–I think as I grow older, I realize just how much I took for granted and just how truly thankful I am.

  77. Becky H says

    I am hosting Thanksgiving this year and this would be a great thing to have made up for everyone to fill out. Thanks for the chance to win.

  81. stamphappy2001 says

    I would love to put one of these albums together and then send it home with my parents as a keepsake of our time together.

  90. Vicky says

    Oh how thankful I am for Cathy! She makes things so easy and meaningful for us. Hope you have a great Thanksiving!

  95. Lisa says

    Thanksgiving is over here in Canada but I think you could use this kit anytime as a reminder of all the blessings in your life. What a cool idea Cathy, thanks!!!

  96. Kari D in MN says

    Thank you Cathy for being so generous, and inspiring, and creative, and unique, and vocal, and for sharing yourself with us! For that we are all Thankful!

  98. Becky says

    As usual, you have created something else that ROCKS and that I would love to have. Thanks for doing what you do, I am grateful for you.

  99. Gail Archibald says

    We may not celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa but this year our WHOLE family will be together for Christmas and that is certainly reason to give thanks in my book – love this idea. Thank you xx

  101. Mollie says

    What a wonderful idea Cathy! Our family has SO much to be thankful for! My 23 year old daughter went for a routine eye exam and the doctor discovered a malignant tumor behind her eye. They had no choice, but to remove her eye. After esurgery was over and the tumor was examined, they told us she has a 98% chance it did not spread!

    We feel SO VERY blessed and she looks beautiful with her prothetic eye. It was a really tough adjustment for her, but she has adjusted and is living and loving life!

  103. Gale says

    I’m hosting this year and there will be 3 other families in additon to mine. Your album idea would be a great addition.

  107. Rebecca W says

    I would love to win this kit! I love the idea and since we are not hosting thanksgiving this year it would give me something that I could bring for our hostess. Love the idea. Thanks for sharing!

  113. Renee says

    im thankful for wonderful scrapbookers like u who put kits together to make things easier for the rest of us…

    renee (harrisburg)

  125. roxygirl says

    Great idea Cathy. Our family has experienced a lot of loss this year – so it would be poignant to put to paper what we are thankful for around the table this year.

  129. Stacy says

    Ooh – how cool!! I saw these on DD yesterday morning! Just so you know – your templates at DD have gotten me into and hooked on Digi! I still LOVE the dimension and actual ‘play’ of ‘real’ scrapbooking, but I’m finding a place for digi and having SO much fun learning!! So – THANK YOU!

  130. lowly says

    What an awesome project! I’m going to do this, whether I win or not! 😉 (But winning it would be lovely).

  132. susanvl says

    Great idea. We could do with a little more thankful and a little less “I want” in our house!

  134. Lee says

    An “attitude of gratitude” makes such a positive difference in every aspect one’s life.
    Thank you!
    ;o)
    – Lee

  136. Abby says

    I LOVE this idea and the kit. Thanks.

    I am so thankful this year for the opportunity to have gotten to know my husband’s grandma and my great-aunt who was like a third grandma to me. Both passed away this year and I am particularly missing them now.

  138. Ruth Freitas-Brightman says

    Hi Cathy! I am very Thankful! Back from 6 days away taking care of my Mom (beginning stages of dementia) and glad to be home! My birthday is on Thanksgiving, I don’t have to cook and I actually like my DH again! LOL

  140. Ruth Freitas-Brightman says

    Cathy! I have a LOT to be Thankful for! Just returned from 6 days of taking care of my mother (beginning stages of dementia), I don’t have to cook Thanksgivine (it’s My Birthday) and I actually Like my DH again! LOL

  144. Sarah says

    Sarah G. – is hosting our first Thanksgiving this year and I am THANKFUL that someone else offered to bring the turkey. (I kind of feared doing a whole bird, too, on top of all the other Thanksgiving fixings.)

  151. Sonja says

    We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in The Netherlands (we should because I think some people sometimes forget what many things we have to be thankful for) but I love to make this album and organise a party with friends and have them fill in a card.

  157. Kristin Jordan says

    LOVE it! Just like I love your Halloween album… this one is great too! Thanks!!!
    Kristin in Blaine, MN

  161. Dana says

    I was buying this today now that I have ink refills!

    P.S. You commenting on my blog was as cool as winning a seat in your class! 😉

  163. Jenny says

    Awesome kit Cathy. A good reminder to be thankful (even if we spend the whole day with in-laws) 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  164. Melissa Miller says

    I am so going to do this project!!! I am thankful for my hubby who may have to do a year remote..:(. I am thankful if he does, we will not have to move for awhile…:). Thanks for the great idea!

  165. Emily says

    What a great idea! I’d love to do this with the whole big family but with my group of smart mouthed people I’d get a lot of snickers! But I know that this would make a great daily album for me personally, so I’m all for it!

  177. Pam says

    Such a good idea. I can see doing this each year to document the changes in each person’s list. I am thankful to be spending the day with my daughter and her family and friends.

  180. Amy vanderkooi says

    This is such a cute idea. We have already celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving but this is something that could be done anytime!

  182. Lisa S. says

    My brother-in-law who just returned from Iraq is coming with wife and baby. We are so thankful. I would love to make this album to celebrate!

  183. robyn says

    i’d love to win one of these sets! in reality i’ll probably buy one anyhow to make as a gift for my MIL – she’s hosting thanksgiving this year, and it would be a great little present she’ll love and cherish for years and years!

  186. Melissa Rydjeski says

    Hey! Awesome idea. Thanks for the giveaway. I’m thankful my army bootcamp son will be coming home for Christmas. Only gone three weeks and we miss him so much!

  192. Laura from the oc says

    This is a perfect idea for our family Thanksgiving! We will be celebrating with new babies and teenagers about to leave the house! Everyone is healthy and we have a lot to be thankful for!

  194. Sarah says

    Love this idea. I have wanted to do this for years. This might be the push I needed.
    Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving.

  196. Susan says

    so thankful for our local fire dept last night…and for putting my mind at rest that my house wasnt really on fire. Not so thrilled however, that I have to replace my furnace this week…arghh.

  199. Debby F says

    I bought PSE for the first time last week at costco (coupon $30 off) So far, so good. It does amazing things. The thankful book is exactly what I’m looking for as a hostest gift to my friend.

  208. Mary S. says

    I am thankful for family and that this project will be SO easy with these templates!! Thanks once again Cathy…you rock!!

  212. Stephanie says

    So grateful you put this together! My momtourage and I were just talking about ways to show our kids what they have and what they should be grateful for. This project would be perfect to help.

  214. hchybinski says

    My GOD woman – what I wouldn’t give for your talent. . .not my children. . .but almost anything else. . .well. . .somedays I may even consider my children. . .

    Hillary

  217. Ann says

    My wish has been granted!!! I am so Thankful that you are a talented designer and have come up with a great Thanksgiving project I was hoping to find on the web today. This fits it perfectly!!! If I don’t win (and I will be checking this evening at 6 p.m. Pacific time) I certainly will head on over to DD’s an purchase it!

  220. Carolyn R says

    So thankful for you, Cathy. I can’t believe all that you accomplish. I love all of the projects and want to do them all. I have so much swirling around in my head, I don’t know where to start. A hook up on the templates would make this so easy. Can’t wait to get started.

    The project queen

  221. Julia Spencer says

    Me Me Me!!!! 🙂 Love this! 🙂 If I don’t win, I’ll be forced to purchase, cause it’s the cutest thing in the world! I love the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving!

  239. Christine H says

    Lots of teenagers in the family now. I think this would be a great way to make them stop and think about all they have and I might even get a picture out of it! Today, I am thankful for talented people who share their great ideas!

  247. Melissa says

    Oh cute, I remember that project and I definately want to do it this year. I just didn’t get to it last year! Can’t wait!

  252. Jennifer says

    Great idea! In the rush to get the food done, set the table, clean up….it is hard to find the time to just be Thankful! Great reminder! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

  253. Shelly says

    Thanks again for another great give-a-way….by the way you haven’t considered creating an online class teaching how to create templates for scrapbooking have you?? Just a thought.

    Shelly

  258. Jerri Silman says

    What a cute project! I’d love to do this for the Thanksgiving host this year! I’m thankful that I’m not the host so I have time for a cute project like this!

  266. Bonnie says

    What a great idea! It’s been a hard couple of months and I need something to help me remember how awesome my life really is. Thanks Cathy!

  268. Delisa says

    I used your “Gimme 5” album from DYL last year as our Thanksgiving, Thankful album. I took a picture of everyone at our Thanksgiving meal and had them write 5 things they were thankful for that year. Now my mother-in-law will put it out and we can see what 2008 looked like and what we were Thankful for…like “TIVO”

  272. Patty N says

    I’m thankful today for the birth on Saturday of a new member of our family!! I’d love to work on this project- thanks for the chance.

  296. Melinda Wilson says

    I have made smaller cards a few years ago and attached them next to pictures of the family members when I did a 12 x 12 book but this is a great idea (plus is will save a lot of time)!

  297. tricia says

    Thanks for the offering — I hope I win so that it will prompt me to really give this digital stuff a try.

  299. julieanddennis@paradise.net.nz says

    wow – what a great idea. new zealand doesnt celebrate thanksgiving but i feel the album is universal and such a GREAT idea to focus on the things we are thankful for.
    i hope i win, as i’m not into digital scrappin’ but i hope i could just print them out and play :>

  300. Martine says

  315. Carmel Keane says

    We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in NZ but I can see this being turned into a simple gratitude journal for someone new to the concept. Would love to win!

  318. Heather Peet says

    i throw a LOT of bridal and baby showers and this would be the perfect format for “advice” cards from the guest! love it!

  321. Marlene Moore says

    Thanks Cathy for the chance to win.
    I am sitting here listening to Adam Lambert’s CD, rushed out to get it this morning 🙂

  324. Nicky says

    I’m thankful for thanksgiving…I don’t like hurrying intothe Christmas season without a proper celebration of Thanksgiving. I think that one needs a thankful heart to fully experience the joy of Christmas!

  328. Michelle says

    What a wonderful (& cute) idea. I hope that, even if I don’t win, perhaps you will have it for sale. *hint, hint

    Wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.

  329. Jules Q says

    I’m focusing on this very idea this Thanksgiving week, so the digital templates would be a perfect way to showcase my thoughts! Thanks for offering them!

  330. JudiW says

    How handy is that! What a wonderful way to focus on the blessings in life no matter how big or small. Thanks for the chance towin these

  337. carla callahan says

    Wow,I LOVE this little “Thankful” album! My mother-in-law and husband, who are doing thanksgiving for us this year, would love it! Such a great idea!! Thanks for the chance to win Cathy!

  338. SueLynn says

    I would love this! I even have that exact album sitting on my desk waiting for a project just like this one!

  342. Lana says

    Love this idea…and will totally incorporate it into our boys daily/weekly routine. I think even a set of six year old twin boys and a 3 year old boy can participate and appreciate.

    Would love to receive this and if I didn’t I still will incorporate this into our home.

    Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.

    Lana

  347. Anita says

    Thanks, Cathy, for your skills with the computer and for constantly sharing with (and entertaining) the masses!

  353. wendy says

    I’m super thankful for this idea. Mom was married after 30 years of being single and given me a step-family. This will be the first official holiday together and I can’t think of a more wonderful project to do together!

  356. beckyswisher says

    I would be forever thankful to win this giveaway. Going to see my sister and familiy this week and this would be such a gift to take to her.

  366. katetitcombe@hotmail.com says

    As I’m in Australia and we don’t have thanksgiving, this will be a great idea for Christmas Day!

    Thanks Cathy.
    PS. I love my Me Tav album and often just pull it out and look through it. It was a great project!

  370. Therese says

    I’d be totally thankful for a chance to win this giveaway. If not, I’ll be purchasing them. TKS Cathy!

  375. Leslie says

    Love it! I think everyone in my family needs to be reminded that we have things to be thankful for!

  387. Missy Paciorek says

    I love this idea and have always wanted to make an interactive album that included input from all members of the family, but struggled with making it simple enough that people wouldn’t be intimidated to participate. I love it!

  389. Holly says

    Do you have any idea how hard you rock? Well, you probably do. But there is actual evidence. Thanks for all you do…I am going to use this for a Christmas album for DH to document everything about him and us that I am thankful for.

  390. kim in Cambridge, UK says

    Wonderful album Cathy. Of course, we don’t have Thanksgiving in England but I can think of loads of things I’m thankful for!
    Have a good holiday this week.

  398. Joy M. says

    Hmmm, ours is a small family with extended family far away, so our Thanksgiving will be with friends. But I’m thinking this would be a terrific idea to do with just us three (Dad, son and me) and to do it over the years to see a progression in beliefs, attitudes, life in general, especially as our son matures into a teen and, later, an adult. The template giveaway would just make it likely that I’d start this project NOW instead of next year. 😉 Thanks, Cathy, for another terrific idea!

  402. Trude says

    Loving those colors! I think we’ll have to do this on Thursday. And how cute would it be if you did each card with room to attach a shot of the person from an Instax camera? 🙂

  404. Kelly McCord says

    Cathy: I am thankful that I discovered your blog recently. I have been so inspired and I LOVE your sense of humor.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  406. Michelle says

    Hi Cathy, thanks for this great idea. I need to focus on gratitude at the moment – I’m feeling very overwhelmed by life and have ‘forgotten’ all the great things as I’m so stressed out by the challenges. Thanks for your generosity in giving a few of these away.

  417. Tiffany H. says

    I was just thinking this morning how I can make a quick and easy small book with photos and notes about what I’m thankful for. You read my mind!! I hope I win, but if not I’m off to DD to buy your kit. I’m thankful for your inspiration. Happy Thanksgiving.

  419. Stacy says

    I love this idea. My kids are always a bit shy and reluctant to come up with things they are grateful for and actually say them out loud at the table on Thanksgiving. This will make it much easier for them to share their genuine thoughts. :o) Thank you for your generosity, Cathy. And I hope that you and your family have a wonderful celebration. :o)

  424. Julie Trout says

    Cathy…

    I have been trying to figure out something to do for Thanksgiving this year as it is our first one without my father-in-law…….and this is perfect!

    Even though we lost Doug to cancer, we have a lot to be thankful for….and had a wonderful year with Grandpa making more memories than we thought possible.

    Thanks!
    Julie

  427. Dar says

    It’s extra special when others share in the creativity, and you have bits of their thoughts and feelings preserved to enjoy over and over again.

    Thank you for a wonderful idea.

  428. Cindee says

    Oh I love love love this! I am hosting Thanksgiving this year! What a cool thing to put out. I bought that cute little album a few weeks ago… now I have a plan. Thanks CZ!

    Happy Turkey Day to you!

  430. Kropster says

    This year I am thankful for my health, my family and scrapbook inspiration from CZ (without which I couldn’t get a page done!!)

  433. Katrina de Luna says

    Brilliant idea, Cathy. Our Canuck Thanksgiving is over but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for next year. Thanks!

  434. Elizabeth says

    Your method is much easier than the one I used for Thanksgiving last year. Right now, I’m all for easy.

  437. Kelli P. says

    What a fantastic idea, Cathy! My best friend is running around crazy as she’s getting ready to host over 30 of us for Thanksgiving! What a great way for me to show how thankful I am for her and all she does!

  438. Marg NZ says

    Hey there, what a great idea. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK but I like your idea perhaps for Christmas. I kind of like the idea of Thanksgiving in general too – the lack of a need for presents and just ‘being’ with family and friends sounds great. I REALLY like the fact that you say you’ve also included instructions for PSE newbies.

  441. Sonda T says

    Wow Cathy…really cool! Thanksgiving is one holiday I cherish. This is similar to your little tag album you did back in March. I still have mine. 🙂

  443. Karen says

    Fabulous project, but no surprise, since I am a huge fan of your designs! Would love to be a winner here.

  444. Sherry says

    What a wonderful way to share the holiday! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday too. I love watching the Macy parade while getting started on cooking up the big meal!

  451. Barb says

    What a fun project. Wouldn’t you love to have that filled out from a Thanksgiving about 30 years ago with your grandparents and relatives thankful thoughts?

  453. Suzanne says

    Wow, so simple yet so beautiful. I would love to win this wonderful digital kit. Thanks so much for sharing.

  455. Jenn says

    what a cute album idea! I would love to copy this for use at birthday parties or another special event too!
    Thanks Cathy!

  458. Colleen says

    Oh what a GREAT project! I’m thankful for a mother who was beyond creative and passed along those creative genes to all of her children. Lucky us!

  459. Jennifer says

    I had this very idea although I like how you’ve designed it…much better than what I was planning. Pick me! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂

  460. Lisa says

    So beautiful! The Five Things project from DYL last years is one of my favorite albums. I’d love to do another one, slightly different.

    Oh Cathy this is great! I’ve been thinking about making an album out of my daily thankful posts in my blog for this month and these would be perfect for that.

    You are so talented. Thanks Cathy!

    What a beautiful idea, especially these days when people are so troubled by the economy and their circumstances. It’s nice to have a way to focus on the good things in life.

    Now I see why you ran out of white orange-peel cardstock! This album is so simple, yet it will be a memory to treasure for years to come. Great job!
