I completed the August challenge! A couple of little details only to do but overall done. Wanted to post now before pre I forgot! I used Echo Park “ Let’s Go Travel” Paper pack— I had a bunch left over as I used to make “ The BigOl’ Album” a couple years ago for our New Zealand trip! This was a fun project! I hope you like it! There were a couple mistakes where I reversed things but overall it does not make a difference, I was able to make it all work.

Well, the pinwheel folio *slightly* altered to make it portrait style photos and more pockets. I have made the pinwheel folio many times and find they are perfect for grandma brag books. This is the 2nd for the same client! First I have re- engineered. Thanks Frances!

Had so much fun with July's Challenge. I'm not the biggest fan of envelope pockets so I did a deconstructed one instead.

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!

Hi Everyone! Well I am trying to work my way through Frances’ design projects and I came across this “Hidden Treasure” design by Shayne. He is nothing less than a genius! This is quite the engineering project! Needless to say—-I had many re-dos while completing it! The box and mechanism is incredible! I used Simple Stories “Remember” paper pack—This one I plan to keep and fill with family photos.

For this Fun Folio, I used Stamperia's "Alterego" Collection. The dotted cardstock is from Bazzill.

Challenge

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!"

Had so much fun making the Polka-Dot Mini Album!
