Made my first album using the Peace tutorial. I only had 6x6 paper so I have more trim showing but I had so much fun. It was great to pull out some of my 30 years old scrap booking supplies. This is for my daughter who just had a baby boy. Can’t wait to get started on the next one. Thanks for such easy to follow videos Frances!

My finished memory box. I do love this box, however I was a bit fed up of everything being done in black. I felt like I needed some colour in my life. I love the box itself, but I’m actually not so keen on the bits inside being coloured. I wish I’d just stuck with black! Spent today reorganising my space and now I’m looking for my next project!

Easy Mini Album.
This is my 1st proper attempt at creating an album!
Dear friends of mine had 2 granddaughters delivered within a few weeks of each other at Christmas, & I was suddenly inspired to make two little albums for them.
It's been a lot of fun!
A LOT of re-cutting despite my measuring many times before cutting. It's a trait of mine & absolutely nothing to do with the class. Frances's teaching is excellent & stopped me from making a disaster!
I chose to cover each page or section with its assigned paper before I put it in the album. I felt it would be easier this way.
I tell ya, avoiding being off by that hair's breadth is a doozy! 😆
The paper & ephemera are Kaisercraft Forest Friends. The set is still available but it's at least 2 years old, so it might be rare.
So here is album #1. 💕🐿🐇🦊🍃

Challenge
January 13 — 31, 2025
This challenge is hosted by Christine Umthun!
"Let's shake loose the January blahs after two weeks of holidaying by making an abstract folio. I have photos of some tropical animals I would love to showcase in a true "mini" album. The first one I created with remains of a larger album (see the share here) and still had cardstock left over. There are so many fun ways to let loose your creativity and go "wild" with this album."

Having a hard time with my own challenge. Actually hate what I've been doing. Thought it would be cool to use all design cardstock for the base, don't have to do the matting that way. This cardstock is too heavy. So I'm going back to drawing board. At some point i will resurrect this one and finish. It's okay to try something new and not like it or have it not work.

TIP 1/3 - I just folded back my strip piece - then cut along. I do recommend first makers of this class to modeling after the class project would be best ;)
