I'm so excited. I made two of the books in the last 3 days! The beginner mini book and the Delightful book. The beginner book came out well. Especially for my first time. The Delightful book I did as a Christmas book and it turned out so pretty! (pictures later). I love them as much as I hoped I would. And Frances you are the "BOB ROSS" of Memory albums for sure. I love your style. I love your creativity, and I love your passion for what you do. Your "pace" at teaching is just perfect! Thank you so so much. And also what is the name of the Facebook page for this group? Is it called Your book of memories on Facebook too? Thanks!!! ❤️

Not sure if I am going to get it complete in time due to life interruption so I thought I post what I have done so far. I enlarged it and will give more info on it later once completed.

This is the Delightful album. I made it a Christmas album. I put the Trifold on the front of the album. I made the 'Page' a pocket page for the Booklet. And then when you turn the page over I clipped the magnet booklet onto the edge of the 3rd page pocket. Lastly, I added a pocket to the back page instead of the strips. I love the strips and will use them on a different album. But I wanted to get the "Christmas trucks" in the album as the theme. Thank you, Frances, for a fantastic design. I had so much fun! I am working on the 12x12 folio right now. Be Blessed all!

Before working on the House album challenge I had prepared three books for Christmas. I decorated them this weekend. The Slender album, the Cheerflip folio and the Pinwheel folio. Love this for gifts🥰🥰

Started the challenge...knock knock!
And ...
Finished the challenge!
My house is two inches taller and wider than the original dimensions. Base to the top of the roof is 9 inches and the width front to back is over 8. I wanted it to be the centerpiece of a table at a Halloween party. It is going to be a gift for the hostess. She's a huge Bettlejuice fan so I used this black and white stripe paper as much as I could.
