Ready for some exciting reading to kick off your week?

Ready for an early-week, wild read as a pick-me-up?
★★★★★Action, suspense and romance! Really enjoyed this action packed mystery from Robin. It was filled with suspense and a dash of romance. I loved the twists and turns of the river as much as the twists in the story. It kept my attention from start to finish!”

Sorry I don't have still photos as the calendar is packed safely away with the decorations.

Enjoy!

Halloween album

Here's an album I made for Halloween. This year, the girls hosted a "murder mystery dinner party" for Halloween, complete with a sleepover, so I wanted to make a special album. I LOVE Graphic 45 papers, and the Steampunk Spells collection ROCKED.

And here are the still photos:
The cover....this is a chipboard cover I created and I used Glossy Accents to highlight features on the front:
 Inside page 1:
 Inside page 2: I created the album all with envelopes, bags, and cardstock, then used the Graphic 45 papers and embellishments and a few I had in my stash
 Inside page 3: I created a lot of pockets and used the tags as much as possible:
 Page 4:
 Page 5: I didn't pull out all the tags at the top for the pictures
 Page 6: Isn't this paper AWESOME?
 Page 7: Loved doing a lot of flips:
 Page 8: Had so many of the tags, which just add so much to the book, IMHO
 Page 8 flip:

I didn't take a shot of the back cover because I was already so photo-heavy in this post, but I really wanted y'all to see all the cool interior page layouts. :)

Hope you enjoyed!

Scrapbook Folio

I'm proud to share with y'all the folio I made featuring my youngest grandson's first 5 years (he's only 3, so there are a lot of blank places)....I used the small Tim Holtz Collections folio and paper collections from Graphic 45 and Bundle of Joy and regular cardstock. I LOVE how it turned out!

And here are some photos of the individual features:
