Challenge complete. And boy did I make it a challenge!

I made the mistake by thinking I could wrap a book in glitter cardstock. There is glitter all over the house. I'm finding glitter in places it should not be!

Is it pretty? Yes! Will I ever do it again? Nooooo!

The paper is a digital download from Etsy. There were no sayings or cut-a-parts, so I had to cut images from the paper. I printed some big and some small to have various sizes. The colors are not the traditional Christmas color scheme which I liked.

This is one of my favorite layouts and I might say that about all of them, but this one I've replicated the most.

The last picture is George. She just had to see what I was doing.

90th Birthday part 2

Update: I added some flowers and this jeweled garland stuff and feather thing I found at HL. It definitely finished the album. It's ready for to be gifted.

Finished this wedding book for a cute young couple I work with. I don't remember the name of the pattern. Francės Long will have to help me out. This holds a lot of pictures!

I think the paper is Echo Park.

It needs some flowers but I haven't had a chance to go to the store. Crazy hot outside!

I'm still working my way through all of the classes. This is the Flutter Folio. It came together faster than I thought it would. This may become a go-to. It packs a lot of pictures.

I added a shaker front. The star confetti is a little hard to see. I also did this to the front pocket.

The paper is from a friend. I think she said she got it on Temu(?). Cutting out all of the cute images took longer than putting the album together! ✂️

I chose this pumpkiny-burnt orange paper. If I had to do over again, perhaps a different color. Something lighter to make the prints pop more.

I'd 100% recommend making this one! So much fun.

I created this project using Frances Long’s 1st edition of her Kitchen collection and stickers from the 2nd edition. I added solid color cardstock because I do too much and I didn’t plan anything and I was running low on paper. I just go with the flow. I love the colors and designs of the paper collection and the fact that it’s handmade. I used Design Space to make my kitchen window for the front cover, and for my recipe cards…and to design my tags and cute butterflies and “Recipe Slayer!” I want to also mention that I don’t like cooking, but I LOVE crafting. I can cook, though.

I think glitter must have been the way to go! My first challenge and it was a challenge! This was a ton of fun and great skill building. 😊🥳

🎉 It’s here! The Official Release of the YBM Kitchen Collection! 8 Designs + 6 Precut 4 x 6 Recipe Cards, 50+ Elements & Coordinating Cardstock Sticker Sheet. I really love how quality the sticker sheets are. I thought it would be great to add in precut recipe cards too! All designs are hand-watercolor painted by me ;) then printed & packed here in my home. If you wanted to get a pack you can do so here.

I hope you love it as much as I do!

I’ll be back with a new project using the newly added 4 designs, recipe cards and stickers!

So keep your eyes out for that ;)
