I made my first album for a friend who was expecting two little girls. It was more work than expected. Do you need that long for an album? Overall, I think I sat on it for 30 hours 😳
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. 😊🥳

Challenge
July 01 — 31, 2025
Our host for this community challenge this month is our awesome member, and my sweet friend, Tonya Thomas!
" 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. "

My first full album is the Baby Girl Mini Album. I had a great time making this, the video was easy to follow and frankly soothing to listen to. 💜. I'll be branching out for the same album but my own designs. These will be perfect for my 2 granddaughters, 1 and 2 yo.

Hello everyone! I am happy to share my completed 4–MINNI-SOTA Albums. I was quite ambitious making 4–but 3 are gifts for my NZ cousins—we are cruising Hawaii this coming September and I wanted us all to make a memory! 2 are nautical themed and 2 are Hawaii/ tropical theme. I hope you like them! Thank you Frances for providing us with this tutorial—I just love making your albums! ❤️

Hello! I hope you enjoy this video. Unfortunately I don’t recall which album this is (Frances help! 🙃). It was time consuming but relatively easy following the well done tutorials. I made it for my Mommy’s (once a Mommy always a Mommy) 90th birthday party and gave it to her as a gift for her 91st!! Parts 2 and 3 in separate posts.
Enjoy and be well!

June 2025 Gatefold Challenge
I used my small stash of 8x8 Graphic 45 paper, cut aparts, and a die cut pack that I've been holding onto for the past 9 years. I found that the book style allowed me to feature my favorite prints and could hold seed envelopes from my garden.
I've really enjoyed my first challenge and plan to participate in more.

Started my challenge book. I’m using textured brown cardstock from Hobby Lobby and pairing it with Echo Park Our Baby Collection. Just loving it. I added some WRMK Envelope notches for my pouches and a scallop corner for a switch up :)
