Aloha Crafty Mavens!! I hope everyone week is going well. Here at my home we are getting prepared for Thanksgiving. I am in charge of making the desserts!! Yumm!! I hope that whether you are in the US or anywhere throughout this amazing world, you take the time to reflect on things you are thankful for in the coming holiday season. It really is part of this story we are creating with the paper crafting we do!!

Today is Free Flow Wednesday. I really love seeing all the different styles on the Crafty Maven. We all have something that makes us unique and I think it is so important to embrace this when we do our own work. What works for me isn’t what works for you and that really inspires me, knowing that other scrappers and paper crafters can find a way to connect to their products and stories in a didn’t way then me.

On the channel is Abcdeli, which has such a clean and classic style. It is so inspiring. Here is what she said about making her layout this week.

“I love this week’s inspiration piece, especially the fall colors and the leaves. the Clique Kits November kit had the perfect papers to match them! I had so much fun creating this layout and I also got the chance to use my new Tim Holtz die!”

Here are some pictures of what she created.

 

I love the look of those gold thickers against the deep rich colors on her layout!!

You can see more process videos on Elisabetta’s personal Youtube channel as well. She also has a blog where she share’s her amazing projects.

DeAnna Scraps is also sharing with us today as well!! Here is what she said about making her layout, ” I absolutely loved the colors in this week’s inspriation piece. I used the colors and the image that says “Give Thanks” as my basis for the layout. I used my stash for this layout, even some items that have been in my stash for many years. I loved the way it turned out and had fun creating the page!”

Here is a look at DeAnna’s layout.

I love the elements DeAnna added like the stamped title, The typed journaling and the grid style photos. A really fun layout documenting the things she is thankful for!!

Here is where you can watch her process video.
