I’m new to the community and did my first challenge-MonOctober. My color was GREEN! All the backgrounds, embellishments, quotes are all handmade using techniques such as: heat embossing, dry embossing, ink blending, stencil, paste, washi tape, ribbons, and whatever stickers and brads I have laying around My craft room. These are all the pictures I’ve taken throughout the years being among the Forest of WA-more to come. 😊

Ok...l'm loving the Traveling Mini Album. I've been trying to make a sturdy, curved spine and couldn't quite get it. This one is fantastic and couldn't be easier to achieve.

I used red as a neutral in this one. (Weird, I know...) And made it Kentucky based since my husband and I will do some hiking at Red River Gorge now that it's cooler.

Any critique is welcome as I was fabricobbling different paper scraps together to make one coherent book.

I finished the Mellow Mini Album using Echo Park’s It’s A Boy. I’m happy to say I hardly had anything left over. I did need to piece together two pages. But I think it looks fine. I did add pockets on three of the pages to house more photo/journaling spots. Enjoy!

And then, why make only one 🫢. This one is the Mellow album as taught by Francės Long Used some flowers paper I have had for years. Embellishments are from the Flower Emporium collection. Love this album!!😍

Hello! This is my first Mellow mini. Used the Flower Emporium collection from 49&Market. This is the one I added extra pages. 😍

I tried the Ho Ho Hello album for a monochrome "get out in nature" album and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Although not technically the right album for our challenge, still nature and monochrome-ish. 🖤🤍

I think I’m done with the MonOctober challenge. May add a couple more photo mats and/or journaling spots. I chose yellow for my color. I used 4 or 5 different dsp’s from my collection. All Stampin’ Up! Papers. Added a shaker element to the front of my album for some fun interaction.

Hey friends! I’m super excited for the next set of podcast episodes because these ones were filmed in Salt Lake City Utah! I had such a great time hanging out with everybody there :) thank you Marilyn for providing a beautiful gathering space for us 😍

Looking forward to sharing our conversations here!

My Mellow mini book is ready to be decorated. Thanks to a technical oops while building, I added two more large base pages and several small base pages. DSP has been chosen. 🤣. Love how fast this one came about.
