Hello. I love this community and all the creativeness that happens here. I get so much joy watching Francis's videos as I wish I was as talented as she is. I used her beautiful paper and tweeked her notebook folio to make mine. Not being very talented at this I wanted to share. ❤️

Hi everyone I am back! Frances I am so mad at you! I can’t clean or even work because I can’t wait to craft with you! lol! So grateful for you! I did a Momento Box for my VP and his first grandchild! I had the letters printed 3D

I made a fall theme Minni-sota album. I tried to use some papers I've been hanging onto for a LONG time. I think it was minimally successful but now that I've set myself on the challenge to make each album, I thought I'd show this one and what I consider a success and what failed.
1. The flowers on the front...I love them. It was a kit from Hobby Lobby with some leaves thrown in.
2. I'm starting to love odd shades of base cardstock. In this case, the burnt orange of fall.
3. I thought I'd try a contrasting card stock for the pages, waterfalls, etc. I'm still debating on my feelings on this.
4. The mish-mash of papers. Some areas worked and some didn't.
This was an excellent lesson in experimentation and will move me forward on what to try again and what I didn't like. Feel free to leave your thoughts or ideas in the comments - all are welcome.

I made a Christmas version of the Playful Mini Album. We don't really celebrate Halloween here in New Zealand so I decided I'd get in early for Christmas.🎄🎁

Once my mind thought we could potentially do the 2017 mini trifold, I decided I had to make it again.
The lady Bug paper in all its cuteness couldn't wait until spring to be used.

I made a little boy version of the Peace Folio this morning for my grandson. I intend it to be a monthly brag book for his first year. I'll be making one for my granddaughter and we'll once the paper gets here! 🩷💙

Baby girl Maria Memento box 🩷 This has taken me over a month to make, but I'm finally finished! It's so hard for me to complete projects these days so I'm glad I got it done and it was really fun to pour my energy into. I decided to do a different closure for every other book, both magnet and ties. Let's just say that I always learn why Frances does certain things because it was a nearly a tight fit into the box at the end 😂

Hello everyone! I've been missing for a while...busy with at high school senior!! But I did have to make a baby albumn for a baby shower and just wanted to share the album. I made the 6x6 Mini-Album, also known as Recollections/Let's Get Lost, but used the Echo Park-Special Delivery Girl Collection. I hope you like it! It holds over 60 photos!! It wouldn't let me upload all the photos, but this is pretty much it. BTW...I'm terrible at photographing my albums!! lol!!

I’m new to the community and did my first challenge-MonOctober. My color was GREEN! All the backgrounds, embellishments, quotes are all handmade using techniques such as: heat embossing, dry embossing, ink blending, stencil, paste, washi tape, ribbons, and whatever stickers and brads I have laying around My craft room. These are all the pictures I’ve taken throughout the years being among the Forest of WA-more to come. 😊
