This one didn't click as well for me with the papers I chose (kinda gaudy) but I was already pot committed so kept going. I love this album base design! For some odd reason, the big waterfall looks like it's longer than the book but it's not. Hope everyone has a bunch of fun doing this one!

Our host for this month's challenge is our sweet member, and my wonderful long time friend, Marianne Scholes!
"This folio was the very first album I ever made with Frances’ channel, and it’s still one of my absolute favourites. I love constructing albums that aren’t overly complicated but still hold a ton of photos — and this one is a true workhorse. It’s fun to make, and easy to modify to suit a variety of different designer paper lines. It’s been a crazy hot summer here in Southern Ontario, and I’ve been loving every excuse to stay indoors with A/C cranked, happily crafting away. So if you’re looking for a cool creative project to dive into this August, join me!"

" Christmas is a magical time of year and even better if I don't have to deal with cold temps or snow. So Christmas in July is the best of both seasons and it's my birthday month. Decorating for Christmas can get my mojo back and I hope it does for you all too. Echo Park has a lot of ephemera, tags and frames on clearance right now, so that is what I will be using along with Christmas papers. "

Hi! For the last week I worked on this huge album using the Forever album tutorial! I used three Mintay collections that I purchased long time ago. It is perfect for a Christmas markets vacation we have planned. 🥰. Thank you Frances!

July challenge…..I think I went overboard with the cover. 🤣The sticker sheet was just too cute. Couldn’t help myself. 🤷🏻♀️
For this Fun Folio, I used Stamperia's "Alterego" Collection. The dotted cardstock is from Bazzill.
I loved making these 2 According Mini albums. So fast and easy.
Last post for the day 😊 I used "Ahoy There" from Echo Park to make this Gatefold Folio.
