Hi! My name is Jackie and I am a music and art teacher and commissioned artist. Scrapbooking was brought to my attention by Francis and quickly became a passion for myself and my adult daughter. Now I have quite a collection. I love giving them away as gifts and the recipiants are so grateful. Thank tou Francis for your gift of teachining something that could be difficult and making it easy! From the FOREVER album.

Hi my name is Char, short for Charlotte, and I'm a 71 (almost 72) y.o. retiree, mom, grandma and beginning crafter who lives in Delaware.
I've been "studying" crafting (cards and mini albums) for several years now (this means watching lots of YT videos and collecting supplies for that "start" day, which seems to be starting now...). Seriously, though, I have collected a ridiculous amounts of stamps, dies and PAPER! I actually had a plan in mind when I got most of this stuff - retirement. Well retirement happened in April and I'm still afraid of just digging in!
The other distraction that I fell in love with recently is AI image generation and what I hope / plan to do is start creating my own digital papers. I have all of the necessary tools except for faith! But I'll get there.
Now, however, I have grandchildren in college and I want to do memory books for them to fill with their photos and general memorabilia and I have one of Francés' books that I plan to use for just this purpose. Double Waterfall Folio.
Anyway, that's probably way more than you wanted to know but thanks for reading!
Take care ... Char

I am Angela from Buckeye AZ. I too found Frances by accident when searching for album designs. My first YBM album was in 2020, the 8x8 Baby album as a gift for a conworker having her first baby. I decided to make 2 at the same time and being it was my first album, it took me forever, at least it seemed that way! My friend was having a girl and her nursery theme was cherry blossoms. I struggled finding scrapbook paper with cherry blossoms and ended up finding wrapping paper that I bought online and cut down to 12 x 12 sheets. It came out beautiful! I was buying only single tutorials back then but have since subscribed for all the classes and get the podcasts too. I have made several designs since the first album mostly for gifts. Frances’ teaching style is awesome as she takes her time and gives encouragement all the way. I am getting to know her style better and can anticipate her next steps! I love the visuals and having a cut list. I post all my projects on the Mini Album Artists—YBM Students Facebook page. Thank you Frances ad hope everyone has as much fun as I do!

Hello creatives! I'm located in Los Angeles, CA. I've mostly made greeting cards and one very intensive exploding box, but stopped crafting regularly a few years ago. My friend inspired me to work on a memory book and after some Googling, found Frances' incredible videos. Amanda's album drew me in, but it was the class on how to design a mini album that convinced me to subscribe. I'm so looking forward to my first album, but also very nervous and intimidated. Thank you in advance for this community!

Hello. I'm Kimberly, from Panama. I love making mini albums and tag books. I got into scrapbooking about maybe two years ago, when I entered a scrapbook craft store looking for washi tape. I had no idea about scrapbooking, but I couldn't resist the pretty paper. I turned to Youtube and Instagram to learn more, and that's how I eventually found YMB. I do wonder if I'm more of a paper crafter than a scrapbooker because the only project to which I've added pictures is a tag book I made for my dogs.
