I completed the October Challenge and it was definitely a challenge. I put a different spin on the shape. I’m gifting it to someone with limited space. I tried new design elements and learned from some new mistakes. I kept telling myself that anything can be fixed and it is meant to be made by hand. I used Chickens paper by Echo Park.

I used the left over paper from the challenge for this Quick Mini Folio. I added one extra flap to the back inside cover.
I love the purple plaid. I used it sparingly so I could save it. Why do I do that?? Am I the only one?😅
Before too long I'll have more "save" paper than useable paper. I might need an intervention.

This is the Delightful album. I made it a Christmas album. I put the Trifold on the front of the album. I made the 'Page' a pocket page for the Booklet. And then when you turn the page over I clipped the magnet booklet onto the edge of the 3rd page pocket. Lastly, I added a pocket to the back page instead of the strips. I love the strips and will use them on a different album. But I wanted to get the "Christmas trucks" in the album as the theme. Thank you, Frances, for a fantastic design. I had so much fun! I am working on the 12x12 folio right now. Be Blessed all!
