Thank you, Francės, thank you so much šŸ„°šŸ˜˜! These books, using digital papers and art from Etsy, are becoming tiresome, lol. My brain aches so much when I finish making one. Thereā€™s no ephemera, no cut aparts, no journaling cards. Just me and my tired old brain trying to make something from nothing, šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£. When my dil helped Laken open it, she told him, ā€œLook, thereā€™s extra pieces in the back, you can help Grandma put the photos in it.ā€ Iā€™m thinking, What now? Thatā€™s not part of the gifted book deal, LOL!! I didnā€™t say anything, I just told her I had some additional things I needed to do to it at home, and I did. I just didnā€™t tell her that there was no way I was letting a 6 yr old help me with a book involving 2x2ā€™s šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£. It was still fun to make and it was fun for me to know that Iā€™m capable of making a few changes to create a book that works for what I need it to.

It wasnā€™t my intention to post it with photos, but for some reason, on my iPad, I canā€™t see the complete image, so I retook the photos and posted them again. By then, Iā€™d added the photos to Lakenā€™s book, lol. Thankfully, his mom doesnā€™t mind him being seen on Facebook. My other dil, thatā€™s another story, lol. Iā€™m glad you like that pocket! I had to remake it because the first time, the pocket didnā€™t go all the way to the bottom. This one will work better for any big cards that he got, plus, his mom can put the birthday invitation in there as well. šŸ˜Š

Amanda Neaves šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚, that is the very best story, LOL. I actually laughed out loud sitting at my desk šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ll look you up on Facebook and send you the video of the little helper standing in the washer in his boots šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£. (What does your profile pic look like on Facebook? Or you can look me up under Jodi Hawn-Geers

Francės Long, itā€™s such a cute movie šŸ„°. Wyatt loves Toy Story 2 right now, and the evil Zurg, lol.

Francės, youā€™re so right, lol. I love a book with lots of pages, Iā€™m so glad I get to interpret your beautiful designs my way and create the extra pages šŸ„°šŸ©·. Although, most of the time, I create them exactly as youā€™ve made them šŸ˜Š

This is the book I just finished for my grandsonā€™s 6th birthday. It was so fun to make! I used the Slender Mini Album to start with. I doubled the spine width and doubled the pages. I also used only the smaller sized photos and didnā€™t use any of the 8x10 spots, I then added an expanding pocket to the back inside cover. I couldnā€™t find a monster truck paper collection, so me and my old friend, Etsy, made a run for it, lol. My grandson apparently has a strong feeling about mint chocolate chip ice cream, as shown in photo #6 šŸ˜‚. Such a goofball, lol.
