Challenge complete!!

This was such a fun project to revisit! I explored lots of fun mini features to use up things in my stash: vellum windows on pockets, mini polaroid frames, an abundance of vellum mini flowers, a washi tape banner, stamping as decoration, and turning one of the waterfall pages into a bonus pocket!

I used a travelers notebook from Studio Calico that was chopped down for my pattern paper. I didn't know how much I would love using grid paper as decorative paper but I like that it instantly gave me lots of space for journaling.

I think I may need to make one more so I have a trio!

Loved this challenge. I don’t usually use many of the cards and ephemera in the paper stack so I decided to go all out. Used the cards for all my waterfalls and still had plenty left for my envelope. Can’t wait to fill it with photos of my grandson.

Challenge complete. The front magnet closure belly band is the cover deco. Couldn't resist a cluster! I realized as I was photographing that I put a card in upside down! Lol. "Once Upon a Springtime" by G45.

Hi👋🏼! Here’s my take on the Petals Mini Album class. I’ve been trying to get back into creating albums and such. It has been a while! Thank you Frances for the class. It was such a blast!

Hi Everyone!

I'm Kalie (Pronounced Kay-Lee), from the UK and I love crafting but I've been so wrapped up in work and mummy duties that I've completely lost my mojo. It was the notebook holders that caught my eye because I thought these would be fab gifts for my daughter's friends and the perfect excuse to do some crafting! After watching the tutorials, I realised that I'm going to have to do some measurement adjustments as our paper sizes/note pads are slightly different but I'm sure it will be fine. Having looked through the app I'm intrigued by the folios and albums, which I have never made before 😍 so I guess I need to do some paper shopping, it's a hard life!

I do have a question though. I'm having a hard time finding 12x12 chipboard. I'm wondering if we call it something different here? I can get grey board which seems to also be used as book binding, would this work?

Thanks

This isn't a project, except it's Frances's! How many vendors send their package with a hand written note inside!

☀️ Endless Summer? More like Endless Second-Guessing. 😅

So I just finished the challenge album using the Echo Park Endless Summer collection kit and ephemera pack… and let me tell you: the album came together just fine — but the decorating part? That was a whole other emotional journey.

I kept trying to make the colors flow, but the only thing flowing was my confusion. At one point, I had three different ephemera clusters arguing on my desk like they were in a reality show reunion episode. Chaos. Absolute chaos.

In the end, I embraced the mess, slapped it all down, and decided to call it “abstract summer vibes.” 🌴🎨

But hey — not every project is going to win Best in Show, and that’s okay. I’m not defeated. I’m just mildly annoyed and highly motivated to try again. 😎✂️

I just finished a memory album of my dad to take to his memorial. He was a few weeks shy of 90 when he passed away and had lived a wonderful life. I used the mighty mini for inspiration. It was challenging since I was sent a lot of photos from his early years that I wanted to include. Somehow I got them all to fit!  I also needed to make it fairly simple since I gave it to my mom to keep. I used 49 and Market Paper and ephemera. Now I need to make another baby album!

I had so much fun putting this little recipe folio together! I used my brand new Your Book of Memories Kitchen Collection that I hand-painted! I know you might have seen it already, but! This collection is so cute I had to make sure you did. It’s the first of its kind released in my new Mini Pack Series! I’m working on a side kick sticker sheet to go with too ( soon to launch ) My Baby Boy Paper Pack is still in the works but I thought I’d just make a mini pack because something in my artist heart was calling me!!! Hope you love it. And Hugs to you all!
