Made this beginners mini albums for my niece her beautiful dog Brody pass away on Monday. Just a little something to remember him by..
I finished the Flutter Folio!
I followed the original internal structure as given, but I did not recreate the original cover — mostly because I couldn’t find my acetate. And the fact that it is clear is not helping me locate it. It could be anywhere. It could be nowhere. We may never know.
So instead, I redesigned the inside cover using inspiration from the Petals Mini Album and called it a creative decision.
I also added a heart-shaped die cut to create a peek-a-boo pocket.
That heart die cut was supposed to be a “cute little feature.”
It is now a lifestyle choice.
I used it roughly 50 times-okay, it was 5-but once I commit to a shape, I COMMIT. There are hearts in places that don’t even need hearts. I regret nothing.
Paper-wise, I used a mix of Echo Park and Cartabella collections — definitely My Valentine and another Valentine pack from my scrap bin that has forgotten its own name but still delivered strong floral energy.
So overall:
✔Original internal structure
✔Missing invisible acetate
✔Inside cover redesign
✔Peek-a-boo heart pocket ✔Aggressively committed heart era
And that’s my official build report.
I had a lot of chipboard scraps🙃. I used some of it making this wallet size brag minis. Do you recognize the paper collection picking on the left side of my desk. 🧐
Challenge complete. Sweet baby book made with a Modascrap paper set. Very sweet paper. A very soft coral pink. I added the metal baby thingies to the shaker cover. I've had them for a long time, but I'm sure HL is where I got them. I added another page pocket so I could have two top inserts.
One of my co-workers is having her first baby in June. She's over the moon. Perfect time for this challenge!!!
Hope you’re all doing good. I finally finished my Christmas project😅I used the playful mini album class. Thank you Francės Long for this awesome class. I love that tag pocket and the cute little 2x2s on the back inside cover✨
This one is small but challenging 🙃. My version of the Donna Marie Ornament. Used paper pad Creative girl from Paper Stories. 😍

Hi friends!
This folio was one of my absolute favorites to make, and I thought it would be so fun this month for us to create this design using any heart-themed paper we can find in our stash (I know you’ve got some hiding somewhere 😆).
I am always so amazed by you all every time you post, and I am beyond excited to see what you come up with for this month’s challenge. 💕 Let's Create!
Love you all,
Frances Long
