October Daily 2021 | Day 25

Day 25 of October Daily and I wanted to do something a little different! I've been watching a lot of ink blending and stamping tutorials on Catherine’s YouTube so I decided to try out some ink blending myself! I

I also used the "Light Reading" stamp set I designed for Catherine, the stars go perfectly with the vibe!

October Daily 2021 | Day 26

I printed out these two photos a while back for this album and didn't know what story I wanted to tell. And then a few days later I was feeling a little sorry for myself that I didn't really get around to celebrating my favorite season/holiday with the kids very well this year.

Finn asked me if I was going to dress up for Halloween this year and I said "Probably not, I'm really tired."

To which he replied: "That's understandable, it's year 2 of a global (insert BIG P word here)."

I was taken aback by just how much pressure I was putting on myself this year when my kid was more understanding that I was being to myself.

I decided it was a story that needed to be told, so I combined the story with some of my October Mood collection, sequins from @spiegelmom_scraps that match perfectly (with the Hearth & Hollow collection too!) and kept it simple.

October Daily 2021 | Day 27

I rarely use filters like this on my photos anymore, the snapchat heyday is long over, but I couldn't resist a few fun ones for Halloween for my October Daily! I used an older line of mine that I designed digitally originally as "Ghouls Like You" and then transferred over to a paper line for Simple Stories and renamed "Happy Haunting!"

This is absolutely my favorite Halloween collection of all time and I hoard it like no one's business, so I decided to just plow right in and USE. IT!

October Daily 2021 | Day 28

Ahhhhhh the great Kangaroo costume of 2021. My middlest, hustler that he is, traded two BITES of SOMEONE ELSE'S birthday cake to a kid at school for this costume and it ended up being the centerpiece of the whole year with not only him, but Patrick and I wearing it as well 🤪


I went with my October Mood collection for this page, using that vibrant blue as a centerpiece and as a way to "cool down" the layout a bit because the colors of the photos were so warm.


I created a pocket to put my journaling card and a letter board from the collection into and went from there!

October Daily 2021 | Days 29-31

The last 3 days of my October Daily album are in the book and I am done for 2021!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last 3 stories are all Halloween night, so I tackled them all together, creating a cut file from one of the pumpkin illustrations in the October Mood collection as a the centerpiece/divider!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a ton of fun embellishing these pages with stickers from the collection and I’m so glad to be done!
