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.

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

Having a hard time with my own challenge. Actually hate what I've been doing. Thought it would be cool to use all design cardstock for the base, don't have to do the matting that way. This cardstock is too heavy. So I'm going back to drawing board. At some point i will resurrect this one and finish. It's okay to try something new and not like it or have it not work.
