My first attempt at the #mariamementobox ! I will definitely try this again. It was challenging but I love the endless ideas for this. I used the graphic45 Life is Abundant collection.

I totally forgot that I had ordered a Valentine's bundle from Carta Bella (one of my fav. design paper creators). So I used the Mighty Mini tutorial rather than do a second challenge album. I really love this album and will use it again.
One issue, no matter the weight of the cardstock that I use and the amount of gentle pre folding - when I bend it around the chipboard for the cover, it frays and sometimes breaks in spots. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love the help.

I completed the Flutter Folio challenge! I didn't have enough of any one style of Valentine's paper so I chose to go with another "love" of mine...reading. This was fun paper to use from Echo Park's "Bookish" line.
I'm never completely happy with my designs and am my own worst critic but never the less, I love doing these challenges.

I spent a ton of time making the "Insert Idea #1" as my Christmas Card this year so I decided to go in a different direction for the Veleeta Album. Yes, I may be obsessed with bees but I couldn't resist this beautiful, thick cut paper from Carta Bella. I took a few creative licenses throughout but I'm pretty happy with it overall.

I had 2 packs of "Bee Happy" from Echo Park. I know I did a Bee book for another challenge but I thought this pack would be great for the Clutch Purse Challenge. I didn't realize, until after I looked at the photos, that i used the same cut apart twice but I love the sentiment of it. This was a lot of fun! #clutchfolio #clutchpursechallenge #septemberchallenge

I bought the kitchen/recipe pack when it was first offered (and bought a second one for the class) and waited patiently for the class to drop. I had a lot of fun with this one! I used mushrooms instead of my usual camera stamp for the picture spots since it was a food themed design. I rolled with it and here is my creation.
PS - I totally second Francės' recommendation to watch the whole series ahead of time. Confession - I did not. I found myself 1) short on paper toward the end and 2) added a major element backward and was too far in to start over. I can't wait to try this one with a different theme as well!

I didn't like my purple fairy book so tried the challenge again. I like this one more and had a fun time with the new base color (I don't think I've don't craft paper color before). I love these challenges! I can use some of the papers on the back shelf.

I gave the BOA a try with the Stamperia Cosmos paper plus some extras here and there. This was definitely a learning curve and the weight of your paper really matters!! I'm pretty ok with it though. 😊

I think glitter must have been the way to go! My first challenge and it was a challenge! This was a ton of fun and great skill building. 😊🥳

My first full album is the Baby Girl Mini Album. I had a great time making this, the video was easy to follow and frankly soothing to listen to. 💜. I'll be branching out for the same album but my own designs. These will be perfect for my 2 granddaughters, 1 and 2 yo.
