Hi Everyone!

I'm Kalie (Pronounced Kay-Lee), from the UK and I love crafting but I've been so wrapped up in work and mummy duties that I've completely lost my mojo. It was the notebook holders that caught my eye because I thought these would be fab gifts for my daughter's friends and the perfect excuse to do some crafting! After watching the tutorials, I realised that I'm going to have to do some measurement adjustments as our paper sizes/note pads are slightly different but I'm sure it will be fine. Having looked through the app I'm intrigued by the folios and albums, which I have never made before 😍 so I guess I need to do some paper shopping, it's a hard life!

I do have a question though. I'm having a hard time finding 12x12 chipboard. I'm wondering if we call it something different here? I can get grey board which seems to also be used as book binding, would this work?

Thanks

This isn't a project, except it's Frances's! How many vendors send their package with a hand written note inside!

☀️ Endless Summer? More like Endless Second-Guessing. 😅

So I just finished the challenge album using the Echo Park Endless Summer collection kit and ephemera pack… and let me tell you: the album came together just fine — but the decorating part? That was a whole other emotional journey.

I kept trying to make the colors flow, but the only thing flowing was my confusion. At one point, I had three different ephemera clusters arguing on my desk like they were in a reality show reunion episode. Chaos. Absolute chaos.

In the end, I embraced the mess, slapped it all down, and decided to call it “abstract summer vibes.” 🌴🎨

But hey — not every project is going to win Best in Show, and that’s okay. I’m not defeated. I’m just mildly annoyed and highly motivated to try again. 😎✂️

I just finished a memory album of my dad to take to his memorial. He was a few weeks shy of 90 when he passed away and had lived a wonderful life. I used the mighty mini for inspiration. It was challenging since I was sent a lot of photos from his early years that I wanted to include. Somehow I got them all to fit!  I also needed to make it fairly simple since I gave it to my mom to keep. I used 49 and Market Paper and ephemera. Now I need to make another baby album!

I had so much fun putting this little recipe folio together! I used my brand new Your Book of Memories Kitchen Collection that I hand-painted! I know you might have seen it already, but! This collection is so cute I had to make sure you did. It’s the first of its kind released in my new Mini Pack Series! I’m working on a side kick sticker sheet to go with too ( soon to launch ) My Baby Boy Paper Pack is still in the works but I thought I’d just make a mini pack because something in my artist heart was calling me!!! Hope you love it. And Hugs to you all!

Hello! My name is Deb. I’ve been making/following along with Frances’s tutorials for a few years. I had a bit of a crafting “break” within the past year and a half as I was going through cancer treatments. I have been cancer free for a year and am finally on medications that don’t make me super tired all the time. I also teach first grade full time and have two teenage children who are in many activities. Now that summer is almost here and I’m feeling so much better, I’m ready to start crafting again! I joined the June challenge to get me started again. 😊
