✂️ Scrappy Mad Libs: The Day My Mini Album Took Over My Craft Desk!

Hi Friends! ❤️
I thought we could do something a little different and a lot of fun today — a Scrappy Mad Libs Game!

I have a silly story about a wild day in the craft room (you’ll hear it soon 😉), but first, I need your help filling in the blanks!

There are 12 prompts — things like an emotion, a snack, or a craft supply — and I want each of you to pick one number and comment below with a ridiculous answer.

Once all 12 numbers are filled, I’ll plug in your words and read the full story aloud on a video post. I think it will be hilarious! 😆

✨ Example:
“#4 — twelve-and-a-half!”
“#11 — chocolate-covered pretzels!”

🗒 The Prompt List:

1. Adjective
2. Type of album (mini, folio, journal, etc.)
3. Craft tool
4. Number
5. Verb ending in -ing
6. Type of paper
7. Embellishment
8. Funny sound
9. Verb
10. Emotion
11. Snack
12. Craft supply

(Be sure to check the comments before you post so we don’t get doubles!)

🎉 What Happens Next:

When everyone’s answers are in, I’ll reveal our silly story on a video post here in this channel..hehe!
🌟 “The Day My Mini Album Took Over My Craft Desk!” 🌟

This is the Slim Folio with an extra pocket on the spine for extra pictures and storage. This album was sooo much fun. I resisted the urge to add a shaker on that tall frame in the back cover. I need to stop being so obsessed with shakers!!! I'm constantly looking for fun confetti. 🎉

A friend wanted 2 softball scrapbook for her daughters for Christmas. I played softball a really, really, really long time ago in high school. Like way before the softballs were this neon yellow 🥎. Which doesn't color match with much.

I found this PhotoPlay paper and it's cool, but the black pages are kind of shiny. I've never worked with paper like it before.

There are so.many fun things in this album. Fun to explore.

Hi Friends,

I’m so happy to be here with you for this special one. 💕 This project came to life through a fun community collaboration! I reached out to three of our active friends here in our community and asked if they’d like to share a sketch idea for an interactive page, then I would teach it in class—and they absolutely ran with it!

✨Introducing our three amazing Concept Queens: Veronica Hebard, Lee Zenko , and Syreeta Thomas

Each of them brought such unique inspiration to the table, and I had a blast turning their sketches into a reality. I really hope you love it you three! I cannot wait to see yours--and everyone else's renditions!

Come watch the full album walkthrough and class here

Thank you again Veronica, Lee and Syreeta for this unforgettable opportunity to connect with you ❤️

Challenge complete!! This might be the new favorite.

I used a dark green for the cover and pages and a terracotta color for the photo mats.

Echo park paper. The dark floral is soooooooo pretty.

Challenge completed! This was so fun🤩

It was so cool to learn to cut a frame using paper trimmer. I was struggling with it in my previous projects using a cutter🥲Thanks to you Francės Long 🤗

Our host for this month's challenge is our awesome friend Veronica Hebard!

" November is my favorite month. I get to spend time with both family and friends over a yummy turkey dinner at Thanksgiving while watching football. The laughter and noise fills my heart ❤️ I'm choosing the Choice Folio so anyone can make their choice on what theme they want-family, friends, or giving Thanks."
