A not so traditional graduation album inspired by the Kindful Mini Album Shabby Chic walk through with a slight vintage twist. Pulled out all the stops with different media textures including textue pastes and hand made papers. I’ll admit, I will be sad seeing this one go. Rarely do I want add to my keepsake collection🥹🤣. Thank you once again Francès for the tutorial and reintroducing mix media and the “Chonky” albums!

🎉 New Podcast Episode!
Paper Stashes & Commissions vs. Creative Freedom
I had so much fun chatting with my crafty friends Jodi and Marilyn for this one! We talked about paper stashes, favorite album styles, creative freedom, & custom orders. If you've ever bought paper you couldn't resist or wrestled with balancing creativity and commissions, I think you'll enjoy this conversation. Come listen and let us know your thoughts on these topics!

My take on the Peace Folio! This folio came together so easy!! It was a absolute joy to make! I used my scraps from my previous project, welcome baby boy by echo park. I made the chipboard frame on the front using the same method as Frances did for the front of the Marias Memento Box. It came together so easy! It makes an excellent piece for a brag book, or book for grandparents to show off the new bundle of joy!

Just finished a Marias Memento Box! Making crafts to get ready for a craft show in November, and this is the first on my list. Frances, the tutorial is amazing! Even for me, lol who has duh moments lol Decided on a boy theme as im a little partial to boys as I have 3 sons lol up next will be a small brag book made from the leftover scraps. Any ideas on which class would be the best?

I am so happy to share my first project. I was inspired to create this album from YBM Kindful mini album which was the perfect colours for our Sons wedding. I used a garter to decor the cover, and 3 different design pads (I found this part the most difficult) but they loved it so much, my daughter in law was in tears when she knew I had made it. Thank you so much Frances for helping me to find my love of crafting again and be able to give our Son and Daughter in law such a personal gift of love.

Challenge
June 08 — 30, 2026
Hi everyone!
I'm excited to announce a new community challenge for this month!
I know many of us are getting busy with summer plans and vacations, so I wanted to keep this month's project simple, quick, and satisfying. The challenge is to create the Kindful Flipbook (inspired by the tie-fold from the Kindful Mini Album)
You can use any paper and embellies you'd like. It can be a greeting card, birthday card, mini album insert, or anything else you can think up!
For the challenge, you only need to make one Kindful Flipbook, but of course, if you enjoy it and have the time to make several, that's wonderful too! (just make sure you post all of them for us to see 😍)
Excited to see your flippy's ❤️
Let's do it! ✂️
