September 2026 - 1st Challenge - Ready, Set, Explore!

 Our inspiration kit this month has a bunch of words throughout it so this challenge came from there.

  Here is a reminder what our inspiration kit looks like!

 

Ready, Set, Explore! Challenge

These words were on one of the word art pieces in the inspirational kit. Use it in a fun way for your layout. Goal: Step outside your routine and discover something new.

Ready — Pick a place, activity, food, or experience you’ve never tried before.

Set — Give yourself a time limit and one small goal to accomplish.

Explore — Go discover it, take a photo, and share one thing you learned.

Let's see what the Master Forgers created for this fun challenge:

 

Guest Designer Master Forger Karin

I’ve been afraid of horses since I was a child. So when the neighboring farm got two adorable little foals last year, I never imagined I would actually dare to get close to them. But they were just too cute to resist! I got to pet them when they were tiny, and it’s still such a special little treat whenever I get the chance to say hello.

She used 2 of her forgeries on this layout.

My daughter had always been a little shy of bugs, and the thought of eating them was unreal to her -- but when we went to the Bug Zoo in Victoria, BC, Canada, we bought some Bug Pops to try. She is definitely trying (and overthinking) eating a bug even in a lollipop! I also scraplifted our fellow Master Forager, Briana Spors for this layout. You can see her original, and how mine came together in my process here.

We took a trip with our county 4-H group in 2018 called WOW (Wonders of Washington). These pictures are of my two kids and me at Mt. Vernon. I scraplifted a layout shared on a Facebook group this summer and used the Ready, Set, Explore for my title.
