With little more than an inexpensive picture frame and a few leftover scraps you can express your thanks in a wonderfully decorative fashion using your scrapbooking supplies. On our thankful-for list: our talented friends at Imaginisce who shared this project with us!

A Month of Gratitude frame by Janet Wilkins for Imaginisce. Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper; Patterned paper and rhinestones: Imaginisce; Frame: IKEA; Font: Avant Garde; Other: Adhesive and spray paint.

Here's how to create your own piece of gratitude home décor:

1. Spray paint frame, frame stand, and two binder rings.

2. Create title and 30 journaling spots using lined paper download or your own supplies. Decorate frame using leftover scrapbooking supplies.

3. Punch holes in top of plastic frame center and paper cards. Attach using binder rings.

Voila! You've got a whole month of celebrating thankfulness. Who says Thanksgiving only has to be one day?
