The August challenge (mostly) completed. I started this theme b/c pretty paper by Graphic 45, of course. I was working on it while staying with a friend post shoulder replacement - nurse Christine. She is going on a Hawaiian cruise this winter, so I'm leaving a lot of the design like the cover and stickers for when she makes this her own. I took a lot of risks using a die for the waterfalls and flaps. Still figuring out which dies will work best with what.

Photos not taken by a pro photographer.

Well, the pinwheel folio *slightly* altered to make it portrait style photos and more pockets. I have made the pinwheel folio many times and find they are perfect for grandma brag books. This is the 2nd for the same client! First I have re- engineered. Thanks Frances!

Christmas in July? Sure! I have Christmas paper and nowhere to put it. This is G45 "Let It Snow" and all from leftovers. The closure on the front pouch is magnetic. I really took some creative risks with this, using different colored cardstock for the pages and construction. Instead of magnets holding the tag on, it's a hidden paper clip. Enjoy!

Challenge complete. The front magnet closure belly band is the cover deco. Couldn't resist a cluster! I realized as I was photographing that I put a card in upside down! Lol. "Once Upon a Springtime" by G45.

This isn't a project, except it's Frances's! How many vendors send their package with a hand written note inside!

Easy mini slightly modified. G45's "The Beach is Calling". I added a flap to the FIC and made 2 photo frame flap pockets 2 sided. I added pockets to 2 of the inside pages (mostly because I inadvertently put them in the wrong place 🙄).

Challenge book done with G45's "Couture". Something different: I used elastic and hanger paper clips for closures on large pocket and put a waterfall on it. Made a hidden paper clip for the book.

Here's the Memory Box for an "everything before the wedding" album. The mom of the bride is going to do a traditional scrapbook for the wedding photos. I've left some things blank for her to customize. Please forgive the poor photography, but if I don't take the photos now, they won't get taken.

When you get distracted while making an album! I'm leaving it. Building the memory box album for someone.

Peace Album. This is really a quick little album for a "last day" (not minute) gift! I used the digital collection Baby Boy from Nitwits. Just trying my wings using printable collections. Using the solids for the cover wrap helped cut out a step making it quicker to put together.
