It’s time for roasted turkey, buttery mashed potatoes, fresh green bean casserole, tasty stuffing (or dressing, depending on your family tradition!), delectable gravy, perfectly spiced pumpkin pies, tart cranberry sauce… and an attitude of gratitude! The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is here and Product Development Creative Manager Noreen Smith is dishing up a fall scrapbook layout to relay what you’re most thankful and appreciative for.
Noreen: “Although I love getting lots of photos onto a layout, sometimes I like to highlight one special family photo. This one was taken on the rooftop terrace of the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal this fall when our son Grayson was given a clean bill of health after a grueling back surgery and recuperation. He was so excited to be given the go ahead to resume doing all the things he loves, and our whole family was relieved and grateful for the positive outcome. This photo captures that moment perfectly and I only need the one photo to remember how grateful I am.”
Feast on this blessings beauty for yourself!

You can probably guess how the striking sunflower got its name. Well, to put it simply, it’s because the sunflowers move to face the sun (they just can’t get enough of that vitamin D!) and their appearance looks like a sun, too. On a technical level, their scientific name is helianthus — the Greek word “helios” meaning sun and “anthos” which translates to flower. Product Development Creative Manager Noreen Smith saw a golden opportunity to radiate positivity and fun-filled memories with this sunflower themed fall scrapbook layout — it will plant a pretty presence in your album! Harvest it today!
