Hi Everyone!!

My name is Cate. Born and raised in Utah, I've been building handmade books and scrapbooking since 1998 and haven't slowed down since (I've definitely evolved from the stapler and printer paper though).

I started building minis in 2018 after I got married and have crafted over 100+ books to collect or to give them away as gifts.

I studied biology and chemistry and have worked in research and development for 10 years and like to apply that kind of experimentation to craft supplies and paper. I've learned there's no wrong way to create and express yourself!

So excited to be part of this community and see so many talented people who are passionate about making albums!

Hello Everyone! My Name is Meghan and I live in Loudoun County, Virginia. I am a Domestic Engineer ( a name I made up, I’m a SAHM), a Navy Veteran, and a Memory Preserver (that’s the fancy name a friend gave me instead of scrapbooker). I have a degree in Fine Arts and have been making scrapbooks since I first discovered a Hobby Lobby in 2000. 😆 Previously I would make layouts to place inside photo albums, and I still do, but it was about a year ago that I started making whole albums. I stumbled upon this community after watching one of the product shares on YouTube and I absolutely fell in love with the technique and style of these scrapbooks. Francės you do an amazing job and thank you for sharing your passion with us. I’m here to learn, share, and enjoy!

Utter newbie here, but my daughters (11 & 13) and I (46) are starting books for our upcoming spring break. 

Quick question - is it common for the paper edges at the spine to split?  (The 80# cardstock).  Am I using too much force to bend the cover of the album? not enough force?  or is it a "calm down newbie that's what happens" thing?

Also - I have a hard time following a tutorial exactly, so I love that I can watch a few and add bits and pieces from one album/folio into another.  I'm totally geeking out right now.

Hi everyone. I am so excited to have found Frances’ YouTube channel and joined this group. I am a retired RN and love having time to do my crafting. I live in Beaumont California with the love of my life, husband Tim.  I have been making cards for a long time and just recently got interested in making folios and albums. I am hooked. Frances, I love your tutorials. I love how much you love what you’re are doing. Your teaching has improved my craft a lot. Thanks so much. I am working on the album Today. I hope to post picts eventually. There are so many of your classes I want to do. Being retired doesn’t mean you are not busy. 😵‍💫
