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!

My take on the Gatefold folio , I really enjoyed this challenge. I used Echo Park Summer collection.

It wasn't easy for me, doing this Challenge. I think it because I choose a Stack I really didn't love. It is too "white" for me... but at the end - it came out nicely. And waiting for the summer vacation photos on July

Challenge complete!!
This was such a fun project to revisit! I explored lots of fun mini features to use up things in my stash: vellum windows on pockets, mini polaroid frames, an abundance of vellum mini flowers, a washi tape banner, stamping as decoration, and turning one of the waterfall pages into a bonus pocket!
I used a travelers notebook from Studio Calico that was chopped down for my pattern paper. I didn't know how much I would love using grid paper as decorative paper but I like that it instantly gave me lots of space for journaling.
I think I may need to make one more so I have a trio!

Loved this challenge. I don’t usually use many of the cards and ephemera in the paper stack so I decided to go all out. Used the cards for all my waterfalls and still had plenty left for my envelope. Can’t wait to fill it with photos of my grandson.

Challenge complete. The front magnet closure belly band is the cover deco. Couldn't resist a cluster! I realized as I was photographing that I put a card in upside down! Lol. "Once Upon a Springtime" by G45.

Hi👋🏼! Here’s my take on the Petals Mini Album class. I’ve been trying to get back into creating albums and such. It has been a while! Thank you Frances for the class. It was such a blast!

This isn't a project, except it's Frances's! How many vendors send their package with a hand written note inside!

☀️ Endless Summer? More like Endless Second-Guessing. 😅
So I just finished the challenge album using the Echo Park Endless Summer collection kit and ephemera pack… and let me tell you: the album came together just fine — but the decorating part? That was a whole other emotional journey.
I kept trying to make the colors flow, but the only thing flowing was my confusion. At one point, I had three different ephemera clusters arguing on my desk like they were in a reality show reunion episode. Chaos. Absolute chaos.
In the end, I embraced the mess, slapped it all down, and decided to call it “abstract summer vibes.” 🌴🎨
But hey — not every project is going to win Best in Show, and that’s okay. I’m not defeated. I’m just mildly annoyed and highly motivated to try again. 😎✂️
