I was given one of the Tablescape Setting kits this fall and while I thought it was cute for it’s intended purpose – making neat table settings and food labels – I knew I wasn’t going to be hosting Thanksgiving this year and realistically, wouldn’t be needing table decorations. 

This is how the kit is designed to be used

But, I decided to create a mini-scrapbook album instead!  I used all of the pocket cards to become pocket pages in my album and turned the black squares into photo frames (I just need to print the photos from yesterday to add them to the pages).  You get 20 pages for your album and still end up with LOTS of supplies left over!

Here are a few of the pages I created:

Many of the double pages, I’ll put a photo of the family member from Thanksgiving and use the insert page to write a bit about what they are thankful for this year and memories of or from them.

Other pages will just have pictures or descriptions from our day together.

I plan to punch holes in the pocket pages and use rings to hold the pages together.

All you need to complete this project is the Tablescape Bundle and some brown ink and a sponge (I used Soft Suede).

The bundle includes everything you see above including the Thankful For single stamp.

So, hopefully this gives you some ideas for preserving your favorite memories!
