This is the book I just finished for my grandson’s 6th birthday. It was so fun to make! I used the Slender Mini Album to start with. I doubled the spine width and doubled the pages. I also used only the smaller sized photos and didn’t use any of the 8x10 spots, I then added an expanding pocket to the back inside cover. I couldn’t find a monster truck paper collection, so me and my old friend, Etsy, made a run for it, lol. My grandson apparently has a strong feeling about mint chocolate chip ice cream, as shown in photo #6 😂. Such a goofball, lol.
Here is a sneak peek into the new class coming in early November! I'm so excited for this one, and honestly, it's so hard to keep this a secret! I really want to tell you everything, but I can't wait to surprise you with the final result.It's unlike any album we've made before because it's the result of a special collaborative design process.✨(can’t wait to spill the confetti!) 🤭If you would like to use the same paper I'm working with, here's a link to where you can get yours so you can be ready to follow along on day one!🎄Can you guess what kind of project we'll be making? Let me know! 👇🏼Off to work I go—I’ll be back with the New Class announcement early November!

( 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!

Heading to a sweet farm themed baby shower. I created this sweet mini album (delightful mini album) for the grandma to match the big ol' baby book for the mom-to-be. I didn't need the large version because I wanted to use all of my scraps from the beast (I followed the 8x8 baby album. It is the beast.), so I scaled it to 8x8 too.
I may post pics of the beast later.
Once again, thank you Francės Long for all of the inspiration!

Challenge book done with G45's "Couture". Something different: I used elastic and hanger paper clips for closures on large pocket and put a waterfall on it. Made a hidden paper clip for the book.

My 2nd Petal album - Pink for my 5 year old Granddaughter Hailey. I’ll obviously have to make many more albums to put my favorite pics of her in because I have LOTS of them🩷.

I finally finished the baby album I was working on. I used Frances’ Beginner’s Mini Album. I’ve used this one for most of the baby albums I make to give as gifts. It has the perfect amount of space for a 12 month memory book for the baby first year.
