Hi there!
I created this little guy, yesterday, in about 4 hours. I've yet to decorate the cover but I'm all ready to go.
I used the Free Folio to start me off & remind me of Frances's awesome tips, like how to fold around the corners when creating the cover. That step makes such a difference! It's been a year since I made my last album, & I've just made 2, so I'm super grateful for the availability of the classes!

I kept this book super simple because it's a belated Christmas gift for my MIL & I needed something her fingers could cope with. I love all of the different pages & pockets that we can have but I know that she'd struggle somewhat.
I'm still waiting on the photo store to receive its paper order, hence the book being late. They ran out of paper 2 days before Christmas!

This book is dedicated to my youngest son's graduation for senior Formal, AKA Senior Prom for those in the US.
The blue paper is from the Gorjus collection.

I'm super excited to make my own album with these photos & I'm having so much fun practising on smaller books.

Thank you Frances for your classes & this group. It's the answer I've been searching for. ❤️🙏

Hello Friends! Hope everyone in the LA area is safe and if you’re in the Midwest, I hope you are staying warm and enjoying the snow 😊
3 versions of the Cheer Flip Folio. Used ribbon ties instead of magnets, increased the size of 1 by 1/2” to show more of the fun paper, and used decorative paper instead in black base paper on another. Extremely quick to put together and makes a great gift.
Enjoy!l

Okay let’s try this again, my first attempt disappeared! 😱 I’m sure I’m not doing something right. Anyway, I’m making this mini album for a craft swap we have in a FB group that I belong to. It’s a way for members to get to know one another. My pictures aren’t great, but hopefully you get the idea. I want to decorate this to the max. Yes, I can be extra! 😆 Specifically can anyone refer me to a video (or three 😉) that deals a bit more on depth on decorating the spine of my album…..twine, ribbon, tassel, charm, buttons etc? Thanks in advance for any help. 🥰

Arggghhhh, look what I did!!! Making the memory box, which is really nice, but I stuck my acetate on the same side of these pieces! I should have flipped one over!
