Happy Thursday everyone! The Petals album was the first YBM album I decided to tackle. I used a collection from Echo Park called ‘Telling Our Story’. I love the stickers and cut aparts from this collection. I really enjoyed making this album, and I’ve already started on another!

Delighted to share my first project. It’s a teacher appreciation scrapbook using the 6 x 6 class. It was a joy to make. This definitely won’t be the last book I make.

Petals Mini Ablum Challenge. I used Echo Park Magic and Wonder paper pack.

My daughter, her fiancée and his son took their first real vacation together and went to Florida. She sent me so many wonderful photos I decided to maker her this summer album. It’s the Beginner Mini V2 with the Echo Park Endless Summer paper. This was so much fun and came together in just one day. Thanks Frances for making this so easy!

My first post, even though I’ve created about 20 of Frances’s books! Christmas in July was short yet fun. I used a few Echo Park collections plus dug into my stash of stickers and other papers. I enjoyed how quickly this was completed and will keep this one for myself! Thanks for the challenge.

I tried to post this before and it keeps disappearing— I used Graphic45 paper I purchased on sale — it’s a bit busy but quite vintage and Christmasy! Hope you all like!

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.

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. 😊🥳
