I wasn't able to find the time to do a 4th bee book but I'm a step ahead on the May challenge.Β I've made my daughter a wedding book - her colors are black, dark burgundy and ecru with hints of gold and silver.Β Very hard combo to find scrapbook paper in this combo so I fabricobbled it together.Β I used the Kindful Mini pattern but took it from 8x8 to 8x10.Β I had to make adjustments inside and some worked well and some did not.Β Β
This is my 3rd try to make a book for her and I'm still critical.Β If anyone knows of a wedding pack that would fit better with this colors, I'd appreciate a heads up!

Hi friends! I really just honestly want to make this book again because I'm actually obsessed with it. lol! This time I will be creating mine in a Shabby Chic style. ( something I've wanted to do for years! ) I'll be using soft watercolor design papers, white paint, lots of roses, lace, cheese cloth and all the shabby things! You can use any paper you'd like or you can jump in on it with the shabby style. Woo let's get Crafting!

Hello! I'm Kendra from Utah. I have been crafting a long time but mainly I create 3D paper projects (houses, decor, box cards, etc) I have always loved the idea of making my own albums and folios. I have 3 children aged 11,9 and 3 and scrapbooking has always been on my mind but never knew what to do..... until I saw a video by Frances. I made the Happy Album and fell in love and am hooked! I can't wait to make more and finally get albums and folios done for my sweet children!!!!!
The paper collection I used for my album was Carta Bella Silly Goose.
