Hello! My name is Deb. I’ve been making/following along with Frances’s tutorials for a few years. I had a bit of a crafting “break” within the past year and a half as I was going through cancer treatments. I have been cancer free for a year and am finally on medications that don’t make me super tired all the time. I also teach first grade full time and have two teenage children who are in many activities. Now that summer is almost here and I’m feeling so much better, I’m ready to start crafting again! I joined the June challenge to get me started again. 😊
👋 Hey there friends! This is the channel to include any of your own topic ideas that you would like me to expand on during a podcast episode! I would love to know your thoughts, and I would thoroughly enjoy going deeper into specific subjects that you may be wondering about, and the ybm podcasts are a great outlet for this! So please share away!
Help us get to know you! Share where you're based, and a little bit about yourself. Sharing your latest YBM project is a bonus! 😁

Our host for this community challenge this month is our awesome member, Cate Woolf!
"Big paper is great, but sometimes companion paper products are forgotten about when we get going on projects. I want to highlight the use of 3x4 journaling cards or cut-a-parts from paper and really embrace lots of patterns, colors, and unique layering! The Gatefold Folio was one of my first and one of my favorites and I can't wait to see everyone's interpretation of the waterfalls!"

Petals Mini Album Coral Reef Mermaid Theme -
I also compare both books at the end and show how I changed this book up a bit compared to the beach book.

Hey everyone. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have finally posted videos to both of the Petals albums I made - the beach-themed one and the coral reef/mermaid book. I will do 2 posts with links to the blog and video if you want to check them out. Bad news is that, at the moment, I will not be able to renew my subscription but I might be back from time to time when I see an album I need to learn. And when I make other videos, I hope Frances will post them to help inspire you guys. Stay safe everyone.

Hello everyone,
Last week I started the album FOREVERMORE, but I'm not finished at all.
What do you think of it so far ?
Have a nice day !
