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.

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 😳

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.

🎉 It’s here! The Official Release of the YBM Kitchen Collection! 8 Designs + 6 Precut 4 x 6 Recipe Cards, 50+ Elements & Coordinating Cardstock Sticker Sheet. I really love how quality the sticker sheets are. I thought it would be great to add in precut recipe cards too! All designs are hand-watercolor painted by me ;) then printed & packed here in my home. If you wanted to get a pack you can do so here.

I hope you love it as much as I do!

I’ll be back with a new project using the newly added 4 designs, recipe cards and stickers!

So keep your eyes out for that ;)

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! ❤️

I'm still working my way through all of the classes. This is the Flutter Folio. It came together faster than I thought it would. This may become a go-to. It packs a lot of pictures.

I added a shaker front. The star confetti is a little hard to see. I also did this to the front pocket.

The paper is from a friend. I think she said she got it on Temu(?). Cutting out all of the cute images took longer than putting the album together! ✂️

I chose this pumpkiny-burnt orange paper. If I had to do over again, perhaps a different color. Something lighter to make the prints pop more.

I'd 100% recommend making this one! So much fun.

Update: I added some flowers and this jeweled garland stuff and feather thing I found at HL. It definitely finished the album. It's ready for to be gifted.

Finished this wedding book for a cute young couple I work with. I don't remember the name of the pattern. Francės Long will have to help me out. This holds a lot of pictures!

I think the paper is Echo Park.

It needs some flowers but I haven't had a chance to go to the store. Crazy hot outside!
