We're so excited to be doing this hop and we ...have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects, along with some great blog candy, and a great grand prize for this hop.

For my day 1 project I wanted to do a simple scrapbook page.  I never seem to get a picture of my whole family at Thanksgiving.  I am usually busy cooking.  I decided if I make a scrapbook page then I would have to at least get a couple of pictures.  I am very Thankful for my family!
I used The Desginers Calendar, and Gypsy wanderings cricut cartridges.  Navy, striped, white, brown, black and red scrapbooking paper. I used my gypsy, white galaxy marker, red stickles, and star dust stickles. 

 I cut the "Family" from gypsy wanderings cartridge at 3 1/2", the "Give Thanks" from the  Designer's Calendar at 4", and the Pilgrim hat from Designer's Calendar at 3 1/2".  I cut 2 frames from the striped paper.  Stickled the G and E, and the T and S with the xmas red stickles.  I also stickled the buckle on the hat with the stardust stickles. 

To be eligible for the grand prize, you must visit each blog, leave a comment and then become a follower of every participant in this hop. You also MUST visit Lisa's blog and leave a comment on Lisa's blog for the day and also become a follower at "Scrapping With Lisa" and her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrapping-with-Lisa/130882060268842.   Please let Lisa know if you don't do facebook and She won't count that against you for the blog candy. Now for the blog candy, I bet you are wondering what it could be. It will be a grab bag full of goodies.
