Peace Folio
Not my first finished Frances YBM album but my first posted. The Peace Folio is so easy to create and so much fun! Shrinky dink charms and real shells from the beach! Gifted to friends for Christmas.

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi there!
I created this little guy, yesterday, in about 4 hours. I've yet to decorate the cover but I'm all ready to go.
I used the Free Folio to start me off & remind me of Frances's awesome tips, like how to fold around the corners when creating the cover. That step makes such a difference! It's been a year since I made my last album, & I've just made 2, so I'm super grateful for the availability of the classes!

I kept this book super simple because it's a belated Christmas gift for my MIL & I needed something her fingers could cope with. I love all of the different pages & pockets that we can have but I know that she'd struggle somewhat.
I'm still waiting on the photo store to receive its paper order, hence the book being late. They ran out of paper 2 days before Christmas!

This book is dedicated to my youngest son's graduation for senior Formal, AKA Senior Prom for those in the US.
The blue paper is from the Gorjus collection.

I'm super excited to make my own album with these photos & I'm having so much fun practising on smaller books.

Thank you Frances for your classes & this group. It's the answer I've been searching for. ❤️🙏

I’m back home and settled in. Been home about a week! I’ve been working on the bring it on holiday challenge and hope to have it complete in a couple days! I’ve run out of paper lol but when did that stop anyone? Hmm? Trip to hobby lobby and I’ll be back at it!

🎉I want to give a nice warm welcome and happy new year wishes to all of our newest friends!
We would love to know where you are based and what project you plan to work on.
I am so excited to be here with you all!

Hello everyone, I’m Kirstie from Australia. I was introduced to scrapbooking when I was about 15 or 16. My mum used to enjoy visiting a second-hand bookshop in a small, half-abandoned arcade mall where many of the shops were shut. One day, while walking through to the other end, I saw the most beautiful store. It was painted bright pink and purple and filled with the most gorgeous paper and ribbons.

During the next school holidays, I dragged my sister along to do my first scrapbooking class. I created a page about my little dog, I’ll never forget it— and that’s when the obsession began. I even ended up working in that shop, although it only stayed in that location for a couple of months.

Over the years, I’ve mostly been collecting supplies rather than using them, but during the COVID lockdowns, I started card making and discovered a new love for creating folios and mini albums. I came across Frances just a few months ago, but with the hustle and bustle of life, I hadn’t found the time to try any of the tutorials.

The free trial came at just the right time—I had a weekend at home and decided to give it a go. I started with the ornamental box, as it was the first project I saw and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then spent the next few days poring over the trailers to see what else I might like to make—and I ended up saving over 20 projects! 😆 It looks like I’m going to be busy! I’ve already completed the beginner’s album, and tomorrow I’m planning to start on the fall album! Thank you Frances, I appreciate your efforts and I’m grateful to be part of this community! 🤗

Made a remembrance album using the beginners mini album tutorial. I added in a couple of flaps, a pocket and an additional photo flap. This is for a friend who’s mom passed away recently. I used Simple Stories Remembrance digital paper collection.

We just got a few more new friends here joining in with us Susan Madden, Debbie Erven and Tammy Walls - I want to say, it's just so wonderful to be here with you! I cannot wait to get to know you and see your projects! Please feel free to browse around, make yourself comfortable and share what project you're currently after!
Hugs & much love
Happy Holidays to everyone 🤍🌱
