This album was so much fun to make, and so fast! This is for my grandson’s third birthday, with a Toy Story theme, You’ve got a friend who’s three.” 😂🤣 (Petal Mini Album)

This is the book I just finished for my grandson’s 6th birthday. It was so fun to make! I used the Slender Mini Album to start with. I doubled the spine width and doubled the pages. I also used only the smaller sized photos and didn’t use any of the 8x10 spots, I then added an expanding pocket to the back inside cover. I couldn’t find a monster truck paper collection, so me and my old friend, Etsy, made a run for it, lol. My grandson apparently has a strong feeling about mint chocolate chip ice cream, as shown in photo #6 😂. Such a goofball, lol.

I am facinated how other people interpret directions and how they put together their designs for their scrapbooks. My process is very linear. I have to work on one page at a time. I want to know everything about that one page before I can process what is on the next page. 🙃
What about you?

Finally getting around to working on the challenge. Making some pretty yellow confetti! This paper (Pollen from Bazill) is one of my favorite colors!

I am creating my first album which will be a baby album either using the Echo Park Winnie the Pooh Baby collection or Special Delivery for a boy or a girl as I bought both of the Special Delivery collections at a recent Expo I went to. I am making pages using bits and pieces of several different books I love well I love all of the one that you, Frances, has made and love equally all the ones that the rest of the community has made. One question I am sure of many well I have after knowing where exactly I should post general questions of the group is I love the 2 pockets using hemp cord in the petal album by Frances though on one page I just want to design a page with one pouch opening at the top of the page and in the pocket will be two envelopes one from each parent that will have all future readers go hmm because the envelopes contain letters written by the parents on the day the baby was born or adopted to be read on the baby's 18th birthday. I can't recall which book in the catalog has said pocket. So peeps please help me! No, this book is not intended to be about a particular baby but is rather intended for my son to get busy procreating with a future special someone. I want so much to become a Grandma. Long ago I kept wishing upon the titty fairy because I was a late bloomer -- well she became confused but because there were multiple wishes she blessed me well endowed. So I think I shall start wishing when blowing out monthly birthday candles to become a grandma in the hopes that by the time the book is done my wish will be granted though I will have to make sure to be specific I only want one grandchild at a time and not have him become a dad to septuplets!!!

I'm working my way through the tutorials. This time I tried to tackle the Memory Box. It was a challenge! I love the idea and would make this over and over, but woah, my patience is gone. 😆 I used some old paper from my stash called The Green Stack from Hobby Lobby. I have lots of scraps leftover to maybe scale this to a smaller box (if I can work up the courage).
Lots of fussy cutting cute animals.
Francės Long you must have the patience of a saint!

Here is my version of the Petals album for the challenge. I decided to do a vintage version. I put in two pictures, one is me and my big brother when we were little. The other is my mom holding me when I was a baby. Hope you all enjoy it. It was so much fun to make.

Thanks so much Frances for The great tutorials and inspiration!
