Awesome Album from Melodee Langworthy!























This is what I worked on over the weekend, and I am working on it more today, too. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. If you have not taken a class from Melodee Langworthy, you should! She is amazing, and she made me fall BACK in love with stamping. I was a major stamper years ago… with all the embossing powder and things like that…. (back when I loved making things harder then they needed to be) Well, I had forgotten how much I love stamps. And Mellie reminded me this week. She took her spare time to help me stamp and assemble her AMAZING pieces of me project she gave me a long time ago (But I was terrified to take apart the journal by myself). She spent her time in-between events at CHA helping me stamp and re-assemble this journal project. I LOVED IT! I stamped my heart out and really found peace at the process. Once I got home, I immediately started adding in photos and journaling notes to my project! She also showed me how to add photos into the spine once it was already reassembled! I love this project – and it is an amazing gift to my girls. This project makes my heart feel happy. And, I LOVED stamping simply with Danelle’s newer stamps! Ahhhhh, projects like this just really matter and I am grateful Mellie gave me this gift AND helped me assemble it, too! I loved making this project this rainy old Monday..... did you make anything??? I really hope you did.
(edited to note - little Kaya took those photos of me I printed for the cover. They always made me laugh, never had a way to use them. Thought this cover was the perfect reason to finally print them.)

You have done such an amazing job filling up the album with writing / photos...it is so fun what each person can do so with the kit! You inspire me to write more!!

You are such an enambler!! LOL :) I was trying to hold off on any new projects while I caught up but I read this post yesterday, sent off an email to Mellie and well...I'm now the owner of a kit!! LOL :)

Make it Something Monday was amazing yesterday - we got tons done. I'll update my blog later (power went out this morning and I decided to clean junk drawers - yes, we have more than one- and well....I'm still sorting, putting stuff in ziplocs and getting it back in).

Thanks for doing this Monday thing. It's really gotten my kids and I motivated this summer. I have gotten so much done.
Have a great day! :)
