October Mini Album Tutorials and Challenge

As the summer fades, we begin a new challenge this month with a fabulous sponsor.  Seth Apter has generously offered an entire set of his Baked Texture Embossing Powders to this month's lucky winner.  These incredible powders are taking the craft world by storm!  Don't miss your chance to win a set by playing along with this month's challenge.




We had so many lovely entries in our September challenge and look forward to announcing the winners on the 7th.  If you haven't reviewed all of the entries, do check them out HERE.  This month our designers have worked hard to bring you a great new selection of mini album tutorials.  Without further ado...


Since we are sponsored this month by Seth Apter, I have created a mini album using Seth's fabulous Baked Textures along with his dies, stamps and Paper Artsy paints.  To see more please visit my blog HERE.



Good day, friends! Have a wonderful October! This time I made an autumnal notebook for your inspiration. I also shot a little tutorial on coloring textile leaves and flowers with ZIG Clean Color pens. See more pictures on my blog HERE.



For my final contribution here at Mini Album Makers, I've used PaperArtsy paints designed by our our sponsor this month, Seth Apter, to create this "Blue Steel" book, with Eileen Hull's Wrapped Journal die.  Do hop over to Words and Pictures to check out the details.  I'd like to quickly say thank you so much to Autumn for having me on the team - I've had a wonderful time - and I know this fabulous challenge will continue to go from strength to strength.

It's an all-out display tag booklet, ready for Halloween photos.  Using Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Super X Tagsyou're invited to visit my blog to see how I put this stand-alone booklet together.

I adore the colours of Autumn and so decided to celebrate them, together with autumnal sayings, in this stitched star book. Do please join me over on my blog, Live The Dream, to see how this all came together.


Hello! I really like the beginning of autumn, its bright colors, I like the smell of fallen leaves.  I made a notebook and wrote a video tutorial for you on how to make this cover.  Please join me on my blog to see how it was done.
