Hello! I made this album for my friend who takes her daughter to Disneyworld and on Disney cruises. I hope you like it!!!

Bring-ing it On! Almost ready to deck it out🌿

I have a so many stamps and dies and would like to incorporate them into a min album. Has anyone used them before in theirs?

Hello everyone, I’m Kirstie from Australia. I was introduced to scrapbooking when I was about 15 or 16. My mum used to enjoy visiting a second-hand bookshop in a small, half-abandoned arcade mall where many of the shops were shut. One day, while walking through to the other end, I saw the most beautiful store. It was painted bright pink and purple and filled with the most gorgeous paper and ribbons.

During the next school holidays, I dragged my sister along to do my first scrapbooking class. I created a page about my little dog, I’ll never forget it— and that’s when the obsession began. I even ended up working in that shop, although it only stayed in that location for a couple of months.

Over the years, I’ve mostly been collecting supplies rather than using them, but during the COVID lockdowns, I started card making and discovered a new love for creating folios and mini albums. I came across Frances just a few months ago, but with the hustle and bustle of life, I hadn’t found the time to try any of the tutorials.

The free trial came at just the right time—I had a weekend at home and decided to give it a go. I started with the ornamental box, as it was the first project I saw and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then spent the next few days poring over the trailers to see what else I might like to make—and I ended up saving over 20 projects! 😆 It looks like I’m going to be busy! I’ve already completed the beginner’s album, and tomorrow I’m planning to start on the fall album! Thank you Frances, I appreciate your efforts and I’m grateful to be part of this community! 🤗

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!
