Meghan, you’re cracking me up 😂🤣!! Your chaotic reunion show came together nicely and everyone now seems to be getting along great! Lol! Your album turned out amazing, the colors blend well, the ephemera is all happy together, and the overall effect is wonderful. I feel you though, I can put a book together with the best of them…..and then comes picking out what papers go where, what ephemera looks the best on said papers, etc. It can truly be so frustrating. When I get to that point, I walk away. Not forever, lol, just for a day or two. Then I can come back to it with fresh eyes, and hopefully a fresh attitude, lol. You created an amazing keepsake that will be filled with fun summer photos and loved forever 🥰.

This album is absolutely beautiful!! What a beautiful keepsake to give to your mother, she will cherish it! And Francės, you’re right, these are totally colors I would use!!

😂

Francės, I agree! I’m so glad that you did!!

I didn’t know I needed to but I’m all set now!! Yay!!

Love it!! I love the paper pack, and I especially love that you watercolored it yourself Francės! I really love the circles you cut out, Jodi. I love round things so these clusters of colorful circles really made the cover for me. I especially love that this is a family album created by all of you, including Shayne! 🥰 This album is on my “To make” list. I need to get it started sooner than later. Jodi, thank you for letting Frances share it with us all!!

Michael A. Trent, I use Neenah white for a lot of things. I love the 110lb to color using alcohol markers. Such a nice look. Thanks for the info!

The Toy Story book is what I made for my grandson. My son and daughter-in-law loved it! Now, if my dil would let me know what photos she wants in it, I can finish it and get it off my desk, lol.

Congratulations Meghan and Michael!!!

Absolutely LOVE this book!! So many fun things to look at. I love that you made pockets out of some of the photo spots, so cool to increase photo capacity that way!! The film strip ephemera is adorable!! Cute, cute, cute!!!

Veronica Hebard, ugh, the voice of reason, I hate it when I hear that voice in my head, LOL. I dont need one more piece of paper, or paper collection, to make my books, but somehow, they still make their way into my craft space 🫣
