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!
















Hi, my name is Susan and this is the first time doing a challenge. I have been crafting for over 20 years and have been following Frances for a long time. I have made many of her books and love them all. For the challenge I used Graphic 45 Midnight Tales paper. I hope you like it.
PS - for the large waterfall I didn’t have enough paper to complete it so I ordered the paper but it has not come in yet!
















August Challenge complete! I used PhotoPlay's Hello Lovely by Michelle Coleman paper pack and ephemera as well as a few pieces of Bazzill cardstock in coordinating colours. I love this paper and Francės' tutorial!




















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.










Finished the Good ‘Ol Folio challenge. And it was challenging for me but worth the effort! I went to Scotland last year so this was the perfect album. I found some fun Scottish Folk Art paper on line and some fun stickers. Can’t wait to fill it full of photos from my trip. I left all the photo mat sizes so I know what to order. 🤪




















August challenge was awesome. The paper is from The Paper Studio called Stargazer. I didn't put a lot of embellishments on it as I just loved the paper so much.

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!














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










I didn't like my purple fairy book so tried the challenge again. I like this one more and had a fun time with the new base color (I don't think I've don't craft paper color before). I love these challenges! I can use some of the papers on the back shelf.
