    Each M3 kit is based on 3 words - a verb, an adjective and a noun. For September these words are:

    SHINE - BRAVE - SOUL

    I love how each designer interpreted this inspiration through her art. The colors are deep and rich, offering lots of contrasts to work with.

    Personally, these words remind me of how the dark days can never be so dark as to overpower the light. Rather, darkness only offers a magnificent showcase for the light!

    What do those words make YOU feel?

    Create a layout (traditional, art journal, hybrid, Project Life, ANYTHING!) using one (or all) of these words as your inspiration. Interpret that any way you like!

    I did two layouts for this. Feel free to scrap in the style that suits you best. This collections offers so many options!

    My take is around the photo of my girl dancing, looks like she's reaching for the stars, and she is so warm and loving that she is like a star or like a sun to me, she lights my darkest days

    My boy has CRAZY ADHD and possibly bipolar and he drives me CRAZY... and his favorite color is yellow, so anytime there is a yellow kit, I think of his joy...

    I have been living with chronic pain for quite awhile, and was recently diagnosed with a weird neurological disorder that has no cure and could leave me paralyzed at some point or end my life earlier than I'd like. I might have to have brain surgery, but I'm on a waiting list to see the neurosurgeon to find out more about all of the details. So lately, pulling up my big girl panties and being brave is a must. This was the perfect time for these words.

    Life do handle you bad card sometimes. After I finally got my back opererated and fine I hurt both my feet during my rehab and I've still so much pain in them. My hands and arms are from time to time so painful that I can't use them and I've started to get cramps in my upper back. Some days the brave face is really on and most of the time is just the family who see the pain. I hate pain, I want to have a life with no pain in this body anymore or at least wake up in the morning without almost crying when I put the feet down on the floor.

    Kimberlee, I feel so bad for you and hope they will find a cure down the road. Take care.

    I am in a good place right now and the word soul stood out to me for this page. I let a song by Matt Redman called 10,000 Reasons be my inspiration.

    Hi all! I am new to M3 and have a page to upload for this challenge, but cannot seem to get it into the gallery. I am not finding the "Upload Photo" button or option anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks so much. :-)

    When that has happened to me I found I was logged into the store but not to the forum, so I always had to log in to the forum for the upload button to appear. Hope that helps.
