i am grateful

For the American Crafts challenge this week we had to have a grateful inspired thing. I was so taken I made a little minibook made entirely with American Crafts goodness: 

Ok my glossy accents ran (I'm fixing this but I needed to post before the deadline). 

It's even an american crafts 6x6 album that I got one time in a kit recovered so it matches the contents


    










Ingredients
American Crafts Papers Tea Party Patterened paper pack 
American Crafts Thickers - mainly delight but also rocketeer 
I used American crafts adhesives as well for the first time (very impressed)

chemistry

I just had to have the Atomic Soup collection from Jillibean Soup because my partner and I met doing our PhDs in chemistry and now I'm a lecturer in Chemistry at one university and him a fellow in physics at another. 

I have a couple of 'science-y' quotes, the RSCs old university logo 'experiment with a chemist' and a line from the Cole Porter song Experiment 'do what all good scientists do - experiment' 

I had to recut the elements paper so it looked like a periodic table - so glad 18 elements wide was the width of the paper for this. 

Ingredients
Queen and Co felt embellishment 
Jillibean Soup Atomic Soup papers, accent stickers and journalling sprouts 
Flower, buttons and pin from my lss no idea as to the brand
