Hello! I'm Ann and live in CA. I first discovered YBM 3 years when my sister was pregnant with my first niece. I had all the pieces cut, followed along with a tutorial to complete a front cover and back cover, then life started life"ing" and I shelved the project and never finished. Now that my sister has given birth to my second niece, I am determined to make and finish one. Lol. My goal is to start and finish it by Sunday so I can mail it to her on Monday. 

I am a must have all the things that has to do with the craft kind of crafter and I also slightly addicted to paper pads and cardstock. I may have bought all of the Bazzill cardstock that my local JOANN had during their going out of business sale. I am pretty sure I have all the materials needed to make a book, but I am nervous for some reason. I guess there's no time like the present though!

Translation: Hi, my name is Daura, I’m new here. I’m writing from the Canary Islands. I’d like to know if anyone can specify—when you talk about 'medium cardboard' (cartón medio) in Spanish—how many millimeters of thickness that refers to? I want to make the '12-month baby box.' Thanks

Hi everyone!

My name is Liz and for my birthday, my mom bought me some craft supplies and we made these books together! It’s been so long since I’ve had the time to actually bond with my mom, and now I have a new obsession hobby!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else creates ☺️

I'm Julie. After discovering YBM on Pinterest a couple of years ago, I finally created an account and joined the group yesterday. I chose the XL Notepad for my project using loose papers from Hobby Lobby. I have yet to master the art of embellishing and the struggle to have it all line up perfectly is real but it's an accomplishment and it's so cute.

HELLO EVERYONE! My name is Pam. I’ve been part of this community for over 2 years but have never posted — it’s time! 😊

I’m originally from California and moved to Colorado in 2005 so my husband (of 33 years) could coach our Women’s Olympic Wrestling team. It’s been an amazing journey for our whole family, including our two now-adult kids. I hope everyone is cheering on our Winter Olympic teams!

I started crafting at 5 years old with my grandma, making dolls out of bleach bottles. Over the years my skills have evolved, and now I’m definitely the person who sees something and says, “I can make that!” — and do 😉 I make all my own Christmas gifts and décor, which led me to cardmaking and then scrapbooking (which wasn’t really my thing).

Then I found Frances — GAME CHANGER! I love her style and teaching (her laugh is infectious), and the results are amazing — quick, easy, and always blow people away.

Hi, I am looking through flip throughs of the albums so I can see what I may be interested in making. I notice not all of the tutorials have a walkthrough of the album/folio/project. Where can I find those? Thank you.
