I think my video is too long. Sorry! Will have to improve on this.

Before working on the House album challenge I had prepared three books for Christmas. I decorated them this weekend. The Slender album, the Cheerflip folio and the Pinwheel folio. Love this for gifts🥰🥰

Started the challenge...knock knock!
And ...
Finished the challenge!
My house is two inches taller and wider than the original dimensions. Base to the top of the roof is 9 inches and the width front to back is over 8. I wanted it to be the centerpiece of a table at a Halloween party. It is going to be a gift for the hostess. She's a huge Bettlejuice fan so I used this black and white stripe paper as much as I could.

Halloween House is complete. I had so much fun creating my very first YBM project! Thank you Frances for the inspiration. So glad I found this group.

Watched the Gatefolio Recipe tutorial and decided to make one with just recipe cards. I made a flip tab inside so I could add all my favorite recipes. I used up every scrap of Frances beautiful paper (x2) and had get more recipe cards from Amazon. Found some pretty leaf design that I think works well. Thanks again Frances! You are truly inspiring.

I used the left over paper from the challenge for this Quick Mini Folio. I added one extra flap to the back inside cover.
I love the purple plaid. I used it sparingly so I could save it. Why do I do that?? Am I the only one?😅
Before too long I'll have more "save" paper than useable paper. I might need an intervention.

I started this album before the August and September challenge. I had to set it aside due to…life. Anywho, here is my version of the BIG OLE ALBUM using the classic Simple Stories Front Door. This thing is HUGE. It has multiple uses. Not only am I able to store my family photos in it, but I can also do a few curls and overhead presses. Very impressive. I really enjoy making your albums, Frances. I am hooked.
