This is GENIUS!  Just genius.

D.o t.s was my first stamp purchase after a party in the 1990's!

Specifics: cards got me into paper crafting, but belt that I made a silly spiral album of our first year in Carroll, IA 1994 for my parents. Very first "real" photo scrapbook album

Welcome to my world. 90% of my newly remodeled craft room is completely clutter. I need to take a photo.

That blue cover wrap is bookcloth. Which was leftover from another project. This is actually all paper left over from other projects. It's a great scrappy album to do. Thank you for your kind words!

One of mine as well. I love challenges!

Oh, this is 49&Market Wherever collection.

in the process of making a new book from the beginning.  Just to cut down the frustration I am experiencing.  One redeeming factor of this style of book is that I can do something completely different on the back!!!  😁

Jodi, you know thst Frances is so good at guiding people through that cutting process. I think she does it better than most anyone, really. You can do it. Look at it step by step.

Beth, I love this! You did a wonderful job on the matting and cutting. I wish I had the patience to make svg files for my cuts. I will post mine as soon as I finish. Had to take a week long break!
