I almost forgot to post my haunted house. Everyone did such a great job on all the houses. It was a very fun challenge!
Here is a sneak peek into the new class coming in early November! I'm so excited for this one, and honestly, it's so hard to keep this a secret! I really want to tell you everything, but I can't wait to surprise you with the final result.It's unlike any album we've made before because it's the result of a special collaborative design process.✨(can’t wait to spill the confetti!) 🤭If you would like to use the same paper I'm working with, here's a link to where you can get yours so you can be ready to follow along on day one!🎄Can you guess what kind of project we'll be making? Let me know! 👇🏼Off to work I go—I’ll be back with the New Class announcement early November!

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!

Here are a few pictures of my Petals Mini Album. I still need to work on the cover. I didn’t have the opportunity to incorporate the great additions Frances teaches in the tutorial; however, I added a fun eyelet and hand made beaded chain for a bit of fun!

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.

Not sure if I am going to get it complete in time due to life interruption so I thought I post what I have done so far. I enlarged it and will give more info on it later once completed.
UPDATE: Its not done yet, my mom had to have surgery so I have had to be with her. Thankful she is back home now and is recovery nicely. Still long road but we are getting there. I hope I will be able to get back to it soon. ANYWAY back to subject. The paper I used is a digital scrapbooking kit from The Scrappy Kat (https://store.gingerscraps.net/The-Scrappy-Kat/). I is called BOO TO YOU and will be released on 10/31. (I get early access for working for her design team). The windows and doors and boards are cut out 50pt chipboard on my laser cutter. I then ink them with Tim Holtz distress ink (vintage photo on these) let them dry really well (2 days). The pumpkins and count are from her digital kit as elements which I upload to cricut, make a kiss cut sticker, print then cut. The size of this album is much larger than the challenge. Once it is completed I will give over all dimensions.
