90th Birthday part 3
Hello! I hope you enjoy this video. Unfortunately I don’t recall which album this is (Frances help! 🙃). It was time consuming but relatively easy following the well done tutorials. I made it for my Mommy’s (once a Mommy always a Mommy) 90th birthday party and gave it to her as a gift for her 91st!! Parts 2 and 3 in separate posts.
Enjoy and be well!




















I completed the August challenge! A couple of little details only to do but overall done. Wanted to post now before pre I forgot! I used Echo Park “ Let’s Go Travel” Paper pack— I had a bunch left over as I used to make “ The BigOl’ Album” a couple years ago for our New Zealand trip! This was a fun project! I hope you like it! There were a couple mistakes where I reversed things but overall it does not make a difference, I was able to make it all work.
















Here's the Memory Box for an "everything before the wedding" album. The mom of the bride is going to do a traditional scrapbook for the wedding photos. I've left some things blank for her to customize. Please forgive the poor photography, but if I don't take the photos now, they won't get taken.












Well, the pinwheel folio *slightly* altered to make it portrait style photos and more pockets. I have made the pinwheel folio many times and find they are perfect for grandma brag books. This is the 2nd for the same client! First I have re- engineered. Thanks Frances!


🍽️ Design time - new class on the way using the YBM Kitchen Collection. I'm going big so I'll be using 2 packs for this. If you want to follow along using the same papers, you can grab yours here!














Had so much fun with July's Challenge. I'm not the biggest fan of envelope pockets so I did a deconstructed one instead.

Our host for this community challenge this month is our awesome member, and my sweet friend, Tonya Thomas!
" Christmas is a magical time of year and even better if I don't have to deal with cold temps or snow. So Christmas in July is the best of both seasons and it's my birthday month. Decorating for Christmas can get my mojo back and I hope it does for you all too. Echo Park has a lot of ephemera, tags and frames on clearance right now, so that is what I will be using along with Christmas papers. "

Hi! For the last week I worked on this huge album using the Forever album tutorial! I used three Mintay collections that I purchased long time ago. It is perfect for a Christmas markets vacation we have planned. 🥰. Thank you Frances!
Hello to all from Puerto Rico. I have been following Frances for many years. Whike still working, I would prepare tge albums for decorating but never got to them unless I needed one for an special occasion. Now that I am retired, I got to it, and have finished 25+ books. Some I have given away so no video. I will try to share them here. This is my version of the Music box
