Hello Scrap It Friday!!
We’ve made it to our 3-day weekend! I know a bunch of y’all will probably be heading to the beach/lake one last time for the summer. Me? I’m not quite sure what I will be doing, still deciding. So, I know it’s a little early, but today I decided I would share a double page I did when we were in Cozumel, Mexico for Thanksgiving a few years ago. So get ready for “A Mexico Thanksgiving!”
A Mexico Thanksgiving
Things Used:
- Green Cardstock
- Red Cardstock
- Yellow Cardstock
- Orange Cardstock
- Brown Cardstock
- Paisley Punch
- Jolee’s Boutique “Mexico” sticker pack
- Cricut Expression
- Cricut Mat
- Adhesive
- Paper Trimmer
All the cardstock I used for this double page is from Close To My Heart. Since it has been a few years since putting it together, I don’t remember the exact color names; just wanted to be sure I pointed it out. First thing I decided for this page is to do a ‘color blocking.’ I used my Yellow Cardstock as my background. Then I went from there to putting the pages together.
Left-Side Page:
On the left-side, I trimmed a piece off my Orange Cardstock to 4 by 12 and placed it towards the middle leaving a 2 inch space from the edge. Next, I trimmed my Green Cardstock to a 6 by 6 and placing it in the bottom right-hand corner. Since my background to begin with is the Yellow, the top right-hand corner was made when the Orange and Green Cardstock was placed. 
For the title, I used my Cricut Expression cutting the letters out for “Thanksgiving” in a 2.5 font size. I cut the “A” out in a 3.5 font size. With the “A” at an angle in place, and “Thanksgiving” in place on its ‘side,’ I placed Jolee’s “Mexico” sticker basically in the middle of the two. I also placed the “Mexican Hat” on the ‘A’ at an angle to add a little more. Finally, I used my paisley punch using my Orange Cardstock and backing with my Red Cardstock.
Right-Side Page:
On the right-side, I trimmed my Green, Orange, and Brown Cardstocks to 6 by 6 each leaving the Yellow background showing 6 by 6 in the bottom right-hand corner. Since my picture I wanted to use in the Orange block was a tad too small for me, I backed it with my Red Cardstock giving it a little more depth. Finally for this side, I used my paisley punch again punching out 3 browns, 2 reds, 2 oranges, and 1 yellow putting them together to look like a turkey.
There you go! An easy, colorful, Thanksgiving page ready to go whether you have pictures already to be used or for pictures you will soon to take.
