Hello! I made my first full scrapbook today for my inner child, who I have not been kind to. It’s messy inside (like me!) but I took the opportunity to learn how to make mistakes, how to measure the inserts myself, and what the formula is for making the perfect sized photo and mat for it. Instead of scrolling for inspiration, I simply moved paper around my (3!) desks until something caught my eye. This was so therapeutic, I honestly started crying when I put the last picture in.

Thank you, Frances, for sharing your creativity with us. ❤️

Made this notepad cover for my home health nurse that comes to my house everyday. It really made her happy and therefore made my day! The paper on the inside had too many reddish flowers on it so I glued some purple fabric flowers on them as purple is her favorite color.

I also made this one for my Sister in-law for Christmas. Not Valentine but still the same album. I really like the way this one turned out.

I totally forgot that I had ordered a Valentine's bundle from Carta Bella (one of my fav. design paper creators). So I used the Mighty Mini tutorial rather than do a second challenge album. I really love this album and will use it again.

One issue, no matter the weight of the cardstock that I use and the amount of gentle pre folding - when I bend it around the chipboard for the cover, it frays and sometimes breaks in spots. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love the help.
