Iām sorry I have been MIA these past few months. I have been having different surgeries and more surgeries to come. Plus my husband and son both having surgeries also. I am hoping to get back into making albums with this amazing group! I have so much paper that I can use when it comes to making albums again.
August 25
Challenge complete. The paper is from Michael's. Super cute paper that I did not photograph well. It has gold foil accents on the paper. It's cool and cloudy and not great for pictures, but I shall not complain about poor lighting as last weeks heat index was 110+.
My camera is stamped in green to add a pop. I chose this camera stamp because it reminds me of my old cannon film camera that I use on nature walks.
I used Stickles on the cover to add dimension to the fire.

šAugust CHALLENGE COMPLETE
I had the best time playing with the Seasons Greetings paper kit from Carta Bella, and oh my goodness ā the vintage vibes in this collection are EVERYTHING.
This folio layout is one of my favorites because itās like a Mary Poppins bag of memory-keepingā¦ it fits so many photos but still has flaps, tuck spots, and little surprises hiding everywhere. Perfect for storing all the Christmas chaos.
šø Some of my favorite details:
That bold December 25th cover piece (front and center, because duh).
Little āspecial deliveryā touches that make it feel like Santa dropped this off himself.
The rope tie I originally planned to use turned out to be too chunky for the closure ā but honestly, it looks just like Santaās toy sack rope, so it still makes me ridiculously happy. š š¼š
This project makes me want to fill it with hot cocoa photos, gift-wrap disasters, and all the cheesy Christmas pajama shots.

Challenge ends on the 31st. Am I calmly finishing up? Absolutely not. Iām knee-deep in paper scraps pretending the decorating stage doesnāt take a literal eternity.
At least the coverās done, so I can look like I have my life together while the inside is still chaos. Totally fine. Everythingās fine. š
(said in total sarcasm, because honestly Iām loving every single minute of this challenge)

And here is my version of the Peace folio. Used left overs from my Christmas Forever album.

āØ Spice Girls Tribute ā Window Trifold Folio āØ
For this album, I made a Window Trifold Folio (aka: a scrapbook that opens more times than Iāve replayed āWannabeā). I used the Echo Park Have a Nice Day Collection Kit, because the vintage florals, checkerboard prints, and smiley faces had the perfect girl power vibe.
To make it extra special, I added custom Spice Girls die cuts from Etsy ā because if youāre going to scrapbook a Spice Girls concert, you donāt half-step it. Between the shaker window, pull-out tags, and all the bright patterns, it turned into a fun little time capsule of ā90s nostalgia with a side of sarcasm.
