Hey all.  I finished one of two albums using the new Petals Mini Album Tutorial.  I used 2 different Beach Day Shabby Chic papers from a store called Imagine the Art Designs on Etsy.  LOVE this store's papers. 

The 4 pockets, I covered both sides with the paper but made a pull out for inside each pocket that holds 4 photos. 

I made this album in 1 day.  Really, very easy to make.  No windows or acetate.  :-)

I will have a video walk-thru today or tomorrow.   

Made my Abstract Folio!!  Last weekend we went on a walking tour in Sāo Paulo with a photo club and I decided to make the Abstract Folio with a photography theme.  I had to make this quickly and did not do all of the cutouts that Frances did.

I made a blog post with links to everything I used, more photos, and a link to the walk-thru on my YouTube Channel -

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Hello all!  We have people from all over the world in this community and I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy holiday - whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - or nothing at all!  And a very happy and healthy New Year cuz we all celebrate that!  Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Nothing At All! See y'all in 2025.


Olá a todos! Temos pessoas do mundo inteiro nesta comunidade e eu só queria aproveitar um momento para desejar a todos um feriado muito feliz - quer vocês comemorem o Natal, o Hanukkah, o Kwanzaa - ou nada! E um Ano Novo muito feliz e saudável, porque todos nós celebramos isso! Feliz Natal, Feliz Hanukkah, Feliz Kwanzaa e Feliz Nada! Vejo vocês em 2025.

Hey everyone.  I've had this Hipster collection from Ciao Bella for a year or so and just realized several of the papers had to do with a barber.  So, I made my barber a mini album for Christmas.  He has not raised his price for me in over 4 years.  Then again, I sit in his chair for 5 minutes while he buzzes what's left of my hair.  LOL

I used the Peace Folio to make the album.  I had to resize it a bit for photo sizes here in Brasil.  The Peace Folio only uses a few sheets of 6"x6" paper and it's so easy to make a few of these in a day or a weekend.  Perfect for a craft fair.   

Hello everyone.  I use a lot of digital papers in my albums and I have a feeling many of you do also.  And I think many might not understand how to use them.  I am planning to make a video explaining why I use them, how I print them in different sizes, how to get better quality, and share some of the places I get them.  
What I am curious about is if anyone has any specific questions regarding using digital papers/elements - leave them below and I will do my best to answer them in my vide.  The video will not be made for at least 2 weeks so you have time to leave any quesitons.  Thanks!

FINALLY found the time to document this Harry Potter album I made for the Ho Ho Mini Challenge.  I had so much fun making this album!  I'll make another post with the video.  

I also have a blog post with a link to the album on my YouTube, more photos of the album, and links to everything I used.  If you love these papers from Paper House - check out the blog post for a discount code too.

Happy Halloween everyone - at least to those that celebrate.  I finished my Ho Ho Hello album for the Move My Mojo Challenge and I freakin love it.  I used Harry Potter papers from Paper House Productions.  I did have to change it a bit on the inside due to different photo sizes here in Brasil.  Here are a few photos.  I will post a video and more photos today on the YBOM Facebook page and on my YT Channel and Blog.  Cannot wait to see what everyone else made. 

Hey everyone...how are you guys doing on your Move My Mojo Challenge Album?  So...I have decorated MOST of the album and just need to work on a few inserts and photo mats.  Because I am giving this to someone here in Brasil, my photo sizes are a bit different and I had to make some adjustments.  But, I love it!  

Question for the Community...I have a lot of Kraft cardstock needing to be used.  Was thinking to make a wedding album using mostly B&W, with gold and silver foil too.  But I am on the fence as to how this might look.  Has anyone ever made a Kraft Wedding album?  Just looking for feedback.  Thanks!
