I started the Big Ol Album Sunday. I finally have all cutting done (lots of piles in photo)! I can’t wait to see the end result but I’ve had the thought “what have I gotten myself into?!” It’ll take forever 😩

Hello everyone. I’m Carman, I’m so happy to have found this site!

The gatefold book, both Francis & Laura’s book were just so beautiful I joined. I’m excited to make the other projects as well. This is the 1st book I’ll have made using my own ideas for the designer paper 🙈Here are some pics of where I’m at with the book. The cover isn’t glued down yet, and the charcuterie board has a magnet. Forgive my messy photos.

✨ New Class on the way this month 😁

I was tasked with making a baby album for twins, a boy and a girl, that didn't read "baby". I used the Echo Park paper set called Firefly. It has a good balance of colors with florals, strips, and plaids. I added a few sheets of patterned yellow and blue to extend paper usage. It took two packs of paper. ( I do have a lot of smaller leftovers for another project.)

This is the Halloween Mini album layout. It is definitely not mini in style though. This was my first attempt at this tutorial. I really enjoyed it.

Very difficult to capture how many flips and folds in pictures. I dabbed every firefly with stickles glitter so their booties would catch the light. 😂

Special request from my niece. Enjoy making this for her. XL Notepad Holder great design

Made the small notebook holder folio using a winter theme! Love how easy this tutorial was!! Now onto my next project!!

After making the XL notepad for my friends, I made one for me. 🤗. Also made eight of the smaller note pad for future gifts. 🤣. Still using the Bo Bunny collection Faith. Tryingto use it all!!😁

I finished it!🤣. The Big Ol' Album. Love how it turned out!❤️. Not much embellishments since paper was busy enough. I used an old collection by Jen Hadfield I may have bought in Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
