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!

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. I have a suggestion for your next podcast. In a couple of your tutorials you mention that you sell your albums at an event called Mother's Day in the Park. I am interested in selling at a festival near me. I have never done this before. Could you explain your process? I am curious about how to display the albums for people to look at. And how do you avoid people or children from damaging the albums when they look at them. Thank you so much!

Hello from Kelowna BC Canada. I’m so addicted to Frances designs and her tutorials always bring me joy! I am a bookkeeper by trade, so my brain always craves creativity! I am most happy spending time with my family. They are my world. Seeing my family flourish and blossom is what makes my life most fun!
