Hi All I hope everyone had a great holidays. I’m so I haven’t finished my Snowieman book. I have been helping my girlfriend out with her husband and now helping her out with grieving the loss of her husband this past week. This is far as I got before and around the holidays.
I hope everyone in California around those fires are safe.

"Let's shake loose the January blahs after two weeks of holidaying by making an abstract folio. I have photos of some tropical animals I would love to showcase in a true "mini" album.  The first one I created with remains of a larger album (see the share here) and still had cardstock left over.  There are so many fun ways to let loose your creativity and go "wild" with this album."

Hello Friends! Hope everyone in the LA area is safe and if you’re in the Midwest, I hope you are staying warm and enjoying the snow 😊
3 versions of the Cheer Flip Folio. Used ribbon ties instead of magnets, increased the size of 1 by 1/2” to show more of the fun paper, and used decorative paper instead in black base paper on another. Extremely quick to put together and makes a great gift.
Enjoy!l

Peace Folio
Not my first finished Frances YBM album but my first posted. The Peace Folio is so easy to create and so much fun! Shrinky dink charms and real shells from the beach! Gifted to friends for Christmas.

🎉The Bring It On Holiday Challenge book has been completed by Shayne! Isn't it just beautiful? You can see the rest of his wonderous book here!
He followed the Fall Album tutorial. If there are any specific additions you see in his book that you'd like to learn, comment below and I can include the techniques in a new album class!

Hi there!
I created this little guy, yesterday, in about 4 hours. I've yet to decorate the cover but I'm all ready to go.
I used the Free Folio to start me off & remind me of Frances's awesome tips, like how to fold around the corners when creating the cover. That step makes such a difference! It's been a year since I made my last album, & I've just made 2, so I'm super grateful for the availability of the classes!

I kept this book super simple because it's a belated Christmas gift for my MIL & I needed something her fingers could cope with. I love all of the different pages & pockets that we can have but I know that she'd struggle somewhat.
I'm still waiting on the photo store to receive its paper order, hence the book being late. They ran out of paper 2 days before Christmas!

This book is dedicated to my youngest son's graduation for senior Formal, AKA Senior Prom for those in the US.
The blue paper is from the Gorjus collection.

I'm super excited to make my own album with these photos & I'm having so much fun practising on smaller books.

Thank you Frances for your classes & this group. It's the answer I've been searching for. ❤️🙏
