Hi friends! I turned the Kindful Mini Album feature into a standalone project tutorial so you can reference it whenever you want. It’s perfect to slip in a pocket, or attach to a page as a fun extra feature! I also taught the same techniques I used in my Shabby Chic Kindful Mini, Enjoy! Big hugs 🌸

▶️ Watch New Kindful Flipbook Tutorial 🎉

✅ I completed the May Challenge book! Have you seen it yet? 😍I think this is the most fun I’ve ever had crafting. I used so many different elements. It was a very mixed media experience and I loved it! You might see a bit more of this from me later on 👀

Here’s the link to the full project flip-thru!

🏔️Thinking about a Utah trip in June!

Hey friends! I’m brainstorming a potential trip to tour the Salt Lake/Sandy this June. My sweet friend is showing me around, but I’d love to see you, too! Nothing is official yet, but if enough of you are nearby, I want to host a special community gathering so we can hang out. I'm also thinking it would be amazing to connect on camera and record a podcast episode featuring you and your beautiful books! Before I book anything, I need to know: Are you in the Utah area? Drop a comment below if you're local and would be up for a get-together! Your replies will help me decide if we should make this happen!

Big smiles,

Frances 🤍

🎙 New Podcast Episode is Live!

I’m so excited to have my very first podcast guest, Maria! Come join us for an inspiring conversation about crafting, creativity, and learning to let go.

Maria traveled all the way from Puerto Rico to attend our California in-person class, and this conversation turned into so much more than just papercrafting.

We talk about creativity as healing, watercolor as a lesson in letting go of control, burnout, perfectionism, life after retirement, and how crafting can truly help people through difficult seasons of life.

This was honestly one of the most heartfelt and empowering conversations I’ve had, and I know so many of you are going to love Maria’s story. ❤️

🎙️ New Podcast Episodes Coming Soon!

Hey friends! I have some exciting news! Back in March during our in-person class, I sat down with six incredibly creative friends, and we had the most beautiful conversations. I absolutely cannot wait to share their stories with you.

Everyone’s journey into crafting is so unique, and I can’t wait for you watch these episodes!

First Up: A huge shoutout to Maria Rivera, your episode is posting first!

I’m just finishing up the May Challenge Album and getting it posted across the socials, and then the first episode will be live.

Stay tuned, it’s going to be so special! ✨

My current craftdesk explosion 😍— Post yours!

Hi friends! I just really want to make this book again because I'm obsessed with it. lol! This time I’m going for a Shabby Chic style. I know shabby is so 10 years ago, but something big is calling me. Think watercolor papers, white paint, roses, lace, and cheesecloth. It’s all about layered textures.

I want you to join me in this aesthetic! Let’s challenge ourselves to create this album using a soft, pastel palette. Grab your lace and floral pages, I’m ready to start now. Who’s with me? 😍

~ Love, Frances
