Challenge complete. The front magnet closure belly band is the cover deco. Couldn't resist a cluster! I realized as I was photographing that I put a card in upside down! Lol. "Once Upon a Springtime" by G45.

Challenge complete!!

This was such a fun project to revisit! I explored lots of fun mini features to use up things in my stash: vellum windows on pockets, mini polaroid frames, an abundance of vellum mini flowers, a washi tape banner, stamping as decoration, and turning one of the waterfall pages into a bonus pocket!

I used a travelers notebook from Studio Calico that was chopped down for my pattern paper. I didn't know how much I would love using grid paper as decorative paper but I like that it instantly gave me lots of space for journaling.

I think I may need to make one more so I have a trio!

☀️ Endless Summer? More like Endless Second-Guessing. 😅

So I just finished the challenge album using the Echo Park Endless Summer collection kit and ephemera pack… and let me tell you: the album came together just fine — but the decorating part? That was a whole other emotional journey.

I kept trying to make the colors flow, but the only thing flowing was my confusion. At one point, I had three different ephemera clusters arguing on my desk like they were in a reality show reunion episode. Chaos. Absolute chaos.

In the end, I embraced the mess, slapped it all down, and decided to call it “abstract summer vibes.” 🌴🎨

But hey — not every project is going to win Best in Show, and that’s okay. I’m not defeated. I’m just mildly annoyed and highly motivated to try again. 😎✂️

Hi👋🏼! Here’s my take on the Petals Mini Album class. I’ve been trying to get back into creating albums and such. It has been a while! Thank you Frances for the class. It was such a blast!

I just finished a memory album of my dad to take to his memorial. He was a few weeks shy of 90 when he passed away and had lived a wonderful life. I used the mighty mini for inspiration. It was challenging since I was sent a lot of photos from his early years that I wanted to include. Somehow I got them all to fit!  I also needed to make it fairly simple since I gave it to my mom to keep. I used 49 and Market Paper and ephemera. Now I need to make another baby album!

Hello! I joined a little late last month so my Petals mini album didn’t quite make the April 30th cut-off but I wanted to share the finished product regardless.

This isn't a project, except it's Frances's! How many vendors send their package with a hand written note inside!
