October 2023 Pages 1 &2

 Hello Creative Friends!

Do you participate in October Daily or October Occasionally? If you have yet to hear of these projects, they are both memory-keeping projects that document your activities and fun adventures during the month of October.  I absolutely adore Fall and Halloween so I have been doing this project since 2013! Each year I change how involved I am in the project. Some years it is only a mini album documenting Halloween night. Some years it is a 31-day mini-book with daily stories and creativity. My favorite way to do the project though is an October Occasionally album. That means I document a few stories during the month in a mini album when I have the time and interest. 

This year I will be doing just that, an Occasionally project. Committing to something daily can be challenging. I've done it before and loved it. I knew I wouldn't have time this year so I set realistic expectations for myself. 

I will be using a Citrus Twist Kits Life Crafted Clementine colored album for my project this year. There are many gorgeous fall-inspired colored albums so check them out. 

I have already done a few pages in preparation for October. That can really help make it manageable when the busy season starts. On these first two pages, I used Journal's For Life Something Spooky kit. This is a perfect kit for me. I love the mix of traditional Halloween colors with non-traditional pink. I also love that the images are not too scary or too cutesy. It is a perfect balance, in my opinion! 










I hope this post inspires you to try an October or Fall album this year. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. 
Happy Crafting!

I’m so excited that Fall and Halloween are upon us! Eek! 

I still have some pages to finish in my October Daily 2022. One advantage to not finishing is I can work on it now when I am so excited for the new season to start. Here is my day 14 using the new 2023 SOMETHING SPOOKY add-on kit from @journals.for.life.


I am documenting the eyeball hot cocoa bombs I got at Costco. They were so awesome looking! Unfortunately, they did not taste as good as they looked. Oh well, I love buying or making Halloween treats for my kids.



 I used the #journalsforlife TAG STAKER DIE to fit more pictures and tags onto my page. There are so many fun pieces in this kit, I was able to play with a lot of them using this die configuration. I made a fun tag with the stamp set plus adding extra stamping to the top of the page. There is a set of clear stickers in the kit which work great on photos. 




Check out the kit in the shop. Use code Marci20 for 20% off in the shop!





Happy Haunting!
