Finally, my Abstract Folio is as complete as I can make it. Why do I make things so difficult on myself, lol? I chose to use the paper pack Charcoal Collection, and the Charcoal Acetate Assortment, by 49 and Market. There isn’t any ephemera or cut aparts with this collection so I used the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Botanical ephemera pack, and I also “stole” some bits and pieces from some other 49 and Market collections I have. To finish it off, I used some stamps with black ink to add a few sentiments. I created the butterfly page by choosing a fairly easy image from Cricut Design Studio. Again, making things more difficult for myself than I needed too, lol, but I love the effect. I kept everything really basic and neutral and then just added pops of color here and there. The back is very plain, and very neutral. I’ll post a photo of it in the comments. I added a few photo booklets so I have the option for more photos. All in all, while this was extremely challenging for me, I enjoyed the challenge and I’m glad I participated. All of these angles just about made me lose my religion, lol, but I made it and I’m extremely happy with the results!!

Soooo I have been working on creating the 11x11 album into a wedding album. I've worked on it everyday this week some days all day. I still need to finish up embellishments 🤷hopefully I will have it ready to show soon I think I'll add sneak peek 😜

Here’s my take on the Petals album. I added two flaps to the pocket (I always need to squeeze more pictures in🤣). This my grandson Henry’s first album. He was born in January so I left the 2nd half of the album blank for future pics!

The petals mini album was a blast to make. I chose to use up some of my winter paper stash from Echo Park on this one. I absolutely love the creativity used to design this album. I had to incorporate the peek-a-boo window of coarse and made a shaker picture frame for the cover.

I watched hours of YBM videos. I took note of things I liked and wanted to try. I decided to try and sketch out notes and measurements, but in the end, I just started winging it. It started with the see through pages. That thought and the crazy outfits fans were with stripes and sequins inspired the entire design. This book is in memory of my mom. She was a HUGE Razorback fan. I'm donating it to a local school auction to help raise funds.
I did not think it would take as long as it did because Mrs. Long makes it look so easy and doable. Practice makes perfect! I forgot magnets on the inside cover. I hid them under the red glitter dots. The envelope kept rubbing the frame on the next page so I made a huge magnetic flap. Imperfectly perfect!
I don't know if I will ever master the spine. It eludes me!

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.
