Make It Monday Recap from 7/28


Last night we kicked off a NEW series using the Month to Month album kit from Stampin’ Up! 💖 This kit is $250 and only available while supplies last — so if you want it, don’t wait too long! ⏳Grab yours {HERE}.

We started with the July layout, and each week for the next 11 weeks, we’ll create one layout for each month — until we have a full, beautiful year of memories ready to go! 🗓️✨

🧰 What’s in the kit?

  • Exclusive stamp sets & dies
  • Precut Designer Series Paper & Two-Tone Cardstock
  • Embellishments
  • Memory Protectors™ + Flip Flaps™
  • Photo placeholders

📚 A few notes:

• This kit does not include an album — but that’s okay! You don’t need one to participate. If you’d like to keep all your finished layouts in one place, you can purchase any 12×12 scrapbook album separately.

• There’s also an Additional Supplies List that includes some tools and items you’ll need (like inks, adhesives, trimmer, scissors, etc). If you’ve been crafting for a while, chances are you already have many of them! But I’ll list the full supply list below so you can check what you might need.

You can always use what you already have in your stash if it works for you — no need to buy every exact item!

💡 Catch the replay!

Heads up — this one runs about 1 hour and 45 minutes, so grab a drink (sweet tea, anyone? 😄), get comfy, and feel free to pause as needed!

We’ll be back next Monday with the August layout — 7 PM CST on Facebook and YouTube! So plan on about 1½ to 2 hours each week for the next few Mondays. Let’s keep building this album together, one month at a time. 💛
