Challenge book done with G45's "Couture". Something different: I used elastic and hanger paper clips for closures on large pocket and put a waterfall on it. Made a hidden paper clip for the book.

( tap to enlarge photos ) Hello, I decided to join this challenge because I was in a funk. I figured joining would hold me accountable because I need to submit something. Well...it worked. I learned a few things in this process. 1. I love creating the book most and decorating takes me ten times longer than the actual creation. 2. It's OK to mess up. (hence the last page that no one else has because I managed to make my spine too large). 3. I absolutely love Frances and the structure she brings in my chaotic head!

For the challenge, I worked on this bee-utiful book. I went with a green base instead of brown or black. I absolutely LOVE the color!!! There are hexagon cut outs throughout to represent the bee hive. The little hexagon mirrors made my day! I even did a few cut outs on the back cover. Lots and lots of cutting.

I may have over decorated the book, but I couldn't help myself.

Hi Friends!!!
Ame el Petal Álbum! Quiero hacer muchos así!
Un poco desfasado pero es mi versión en navidad!!!!

( translation : I love the Petal Album! I want to do many like this! A little outdated but it’s my version at Christmas!!!! )

This album was so much fun to make, and so fast! This is for my grandson’s third birthday, with a Toy Story theme, You’ve got a friend who’s three.” 😂🤣 (Petal Mini Album)

My 2nd Petal album - Pink for my 5 year old Granddaughter Hailey. I’ll obviously have to make many more albums to put my favorite pics of her in because I have LOTS of them🩷.

My 6 year old grandson is coming out to visit so I made the 6x6 pop up mini for him for polaroid pictures. We got him a kid size black and white camera. I used a desert theme since we are in Southern Utah and used the Echo Park Into the Wild tags (he will be camping, fishing and hiking) and will let him decorate with all the stickers. I put a few photos inside for him when we tested out the camera! This was a lot of fun to make. Can’t wait for him to add pictures from his trip.

Here’s my take on the Petals album. I added two flaps to the pocket (I always need to squeeze more pictures in🤣). This my grandson Henry’s first album. He was born in January so I left the 2nd half of the album blank for future pics!
