Y’all it’s October. The third quarter of the year. I remember last year asking 2026 to “play nice”. The verdict is still out. However, be forewarned, I will start soon telling you how many Fridays there are before Christmas. Not yet, but soon.
For a fantastic start of the month I really enjoyed the galleries. I was inspired, intrigued and left wanting as some of the artwork used hasn’t been released yet! OY!
As always, in no particular order…
Here We Go Again by karlimarie
Here we are. One of the designer’s kits that has not been released yet. I keep coming back to this layout for all its chunky, metal, orange round details. Love. The background is great with the water stains and the top right cluster work is spot on. Hurry up now!!
Fresh Farm Milk by Miki
This made me laugh. First, she’s always brilliant at pulling out images. And I almost missed one of my new favorite alphas – the clear one that takes on what is behind it. I was always told “smells like money!” while driving through Kansas. Fresh milk. Divine. Awesome work!
Fly by bcgal00
Some times I get a little obsessed over things. Right now I’ve been watching two different homesteading people deal with keeping their animals safe from hawks. And boy howdy are they romancing those crows! I love the juxtaposition of the dark bird and all the light colors. The elements and drop shadows are very well done!
Back to School by Jen White
Okay, now, this is how you do school portraits! Also love the Bananas and hope to be able to see them. Jen’s blending and color choice – the real big 2026 — it goes so well.
Alex at Work – September 2026 by Julie DeGuia
I love to see two things. Moms bragging about their kids and young women knocking out a career that hasn’t always been open to women. And here is both. The photos and layered frames – the anchoring with the title work – and clever work with the bullet points being tools.
Music – Rockstar, World on Fire by DKStoneman
I’ve seen a few tributes to Dolly. This one caught my eye as it’s so full of energy and showing a bit of a different side of Dolly. The creation is done very well. Thank you for putting this to memory. You will be missed, Dolly.
And with that our time has come to and end. And I must go. Have a wonderful evening. Be safe, create memories and put them to paper.
