( tap to enlarge photos ) Hello, I decided to join this challenge because I was in a funk. I figured joining would hold me accountable because I need to submit something. Well...it worked. I learned a few things in this process. 1. I love creating the book most and decorating takes me ten times longer than the actual creation. 2. It's OK to mess up. (hence the last page that no one else has because I managed to make my spine too large). 3. I absolutely love Frances and the structure she brings in my chaotic head!
















While she was editing the Blindfold Reaction Video 😂




















Here's my version of the Petals mini album challenge. I had a lot of fun. Thanks for suggesting it. ( double tap to expand photos )

Hi Friends!!!
Ame el Petal Álbum! Quiero hacer muchos así!
Un poco desfasado pero es mi versión en navidad!!!!
( translation : I love the Petal Album! I want to do many like this! A little outdated but it’s my version at Christmas!!!! )




















For the challenge, I worked on this bee-utiful book. I went with a green base instead of brown or black. I absolutely LOVE the color!!! There are hexagon cut outs throughout to represent the bee hive. The little hexagon mirrors made my day! I even did a few cut outs on the back cover. Lots and lots of cutting.
I may have over decorated the book, but I couldn't help myself.
