Finally, my Abstract Folio is as complete as I can make it. Why do I make things so difficult on myself, lol? I chose to use the paper pack Charcoal Collection, and the Charcoal Acetate Assortment, by 49 and Market. There isn’t any ephemera or cut aparts with this collection so I used the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Botanical ephemera pack, and I also “stole” some bits and pieces from some other 49 and Market collections I have. To finish it off, I used some stamps with black ink to add a few sentiments. I created the butterfly page by choosing a fairly easy image from Cricut Design Studio. Again, making things more difficult for myself than I needed too, lol, but I love the effect. I kept everything really basic and neutral and then just added pops of color here and there. The back is very plain, and very neutral. I’ll post a photo of it in the comments. I added a few photo booklets so I have the option for more photos. All in all, while this was extremely challenging for me, I enjoyed the challenge and I’m glad I participated. All of these angles just about made me lose my religion, lol, but I made it and I’m extremely happy with the results!!

Here’s my take on the Petals album. I added two flaps to the pocket (I always need to squeeze more pictures in🤣). This my grandson Henry’s first album. He was born in January so I left the 2nd half of the album blank for future pics!

I finish my Christmas album a couple weeks ago. I am sorry I did post but I got sick right when I finished the album/ I used the Forevermore Album with the paper from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Holly Jolly. I love making the album so much fun. Thanks Frances

\\\Update\\\ A baby was finally born 🥰. Foster James Geers arrived at 3:46am this morning. Both Mama and Foster are doing great, if not a little tired 😊 He was 8lbs, 1 oz and 21.5” long.

Soooo, here I am, waiting for my grandson to be born. He’s taking his own sweet time, lol. Mama was induced at 5a this morning and so far, not much is happening. However, I finished the baby book for his mama and daddy yesterday and can’t wait to give it to them 🥰!! Maybe I can update that he’s been born later this evening, or tomorrow morning, but for now, here are photos of his book 🩷🥰 - This is the Beginner’s Mini Album
