This festive Fall layout has strips and square layers of pattern papers and clusters of botanicals with bold colors that pop on the white background. I spotted this design on Rebeca Ruiz’s gallery at Scrapbook.com.
Here in the US Thanksgiving is November 23rd this year and we celebrate with family, friends and lots of food. It’s a wonderful time to gather together, eat and most of all celebrate and contemplate what we’re most thankful for. It’s a wonderful time to take pictures and create traditional scrapbook layouts as well as work on projects like gratitude journals and pages too. I’ve gathered up a heaping helping of scrapbooking ideas that focus on Thanksgiving and Gratitude to get you inspired (look for a FREEBIE along the way too).

This sweet gratitude mini album has lots of embellishment and photos and is a wonderful way to remember the things you’re thankful for. Take a look at the entire project on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
This adorable page is about the time the dog decided to be taste tester for the Thanksgiving Sweet Potato pie. So remember even if you burn the turkey, forget the cranberry sauce or have other mishaps it’s still fun to scrap about them. I came across this layout on the Photoplaypaper Instagram page.

This pretty digital layout has borders of leaves, trees and botanical patterns, a “grateful” letter banner for the title and a row of circular photos across the center. Take a closer look at this and other downloadable digital templates for Thanksgiving at Pearl Mountain.
If you’ve got a large group of family and friend to take photos of the steps on the front porch are a great setting like on this cousins layout. This designs has lots of plaids, alphabet letters for the title, tags and clusters of woodland leaves, mushrooms and more. Take a closer look at A Cherry on Top.
Even if you don’t have lots of leaves or traditional Thanksgiving products you can use warmer Autumn colors like Josefine did on her Thankful Life layout. I love the gold foil title and the paint splatters add a nice rustic touch. Take a closer look at the Cocoa Vanilla blog.
This design has textured paper on one half and a starburst design with coordinating pattern papers on the other to create the background. Tilting the photos and putting the title on it’s side helps add extra interest to this layout too. I came across it on Tracey’s Footprints gallery at Scrapbook.com.
This lovely layout has a heart shape created from lots of fall leaves and pumpkins die cut from pattern papers that coordinate with the mats around the edges. It the perfect backdrop for the sweet photo. Learn more on the Lori Whitlock blog.
Autumn layouts don’t always have to have darker colors. This pretty page uses pastels but the leaves, pumpkins, acorns and owl still gives the fantastic fall feels. I spotted this on the PaperAndi Instagram page.
Gloria created an entire Fall Forest of trees along the bottom of the photos on this sweet page and check out those cute squirrels by the title! Once again, here are some softer colors with pinks and blues but it’s still a Fall design. Take a closer peek on the Bella Blvd. blog.
Gather the family together during Thanksgiving when everyone is all dressed up and step outside to take some photo because family is one of the things most of us are truly thankful for. This amazing layout uses a wreath of Fall leaves and acorns backed with pattern papers and some sentiment strips around the photo. Visit the Paige Taylor Evans blog for more info.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
