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!

#abstractfoliochallenge I really tried a number of different techniques on this album. Including making the back (front?) design with a Lea France stencil. I'm not happy with quite a few things, but, hey, it's mine. Enjoy the sloths and birds!

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!!!  😁

Having a hard time with my own challenge. Actually hate what I've been doing. Thought it would be cool to use all design cardstock for the base, don't have to do the matting that way. This cardstock is too heavy. So I'm going back to drawing board. At some point i will resurrect this one and finish. It's okay to try something new and not like it or have it not work.

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!
