Gratitude . . . for More Than Words and AJJ Monthly!

Hi everyone! Welcome November!!  I cannot believe that it's November 1st already and time for the More Than Words November Main Challenge!

Just to let you know, More Than Words is a monthly art journal challenge site that contains a word inspiration and a creative challenge. Both need to be incorporated into your art journal page. 

Here is this month's Main Challenge:

The word inspiration for November is Gratitude and the Creative Challenge is using this beautiful mood board.

Here is my art journal spread:

I have so much GRATITUDE for the beauty all around me, especially during Fall. I used the MOOD BOARD as the basis for my Fall color scheme and theme of my art journal spread. Fall is my favorite time of the year, especially because we celebrate Thanksgiving!

I also used the words to Louis Armstrong's song "What a Wonderful World !"

Here are some close-ups:

And don't forget . . . if you participate there are great prizes to be won!

I hope that you get a chance to check out the More Than Words Main Challenge this month!  I know you will enjoy it.

I am also linking my project up to Art Journal Journey, Monthly.

This month's theme is hosted by Chris Bedford and is All Kinds of Weather.  Chris said the following:  "All Kinds Of Weather" has lots of scope for seasonal stuff (enjoying Autumn, looking back to Spring or Summer, looking forward to Winter), as well as references to colours, clothing, holidays (vacations) etc.  I look forward to seeing some sunshine as well as the rain we expect to get in November.

Therefore I used the beautiful sunny weather and the colors of November to inspire my art journal spread.  I also used some clippings from an old Mary Engelbreit calender!  Thank you, Chris and AJJ, for inspiring me!!

And as always, speaking of gratitude . . .thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  HUGS!
