He is just the cutest!! Here he is with his proud big brother, Laken.

Francės, thank you!! It really does help!! You always remind us to keep our hands clean, and this is one more additional step we can take, even if the paper isn’t white 😊

Francės, great question, for sure!

Joan Young , this is how I took care of that little issue, lol

Joan Young, this is how I’m getting around the one photo at a time situation, lol. I’ll just reply twice. Here’s the back of the book with the spots.

Thank you so much, Joan!!

White can be tricky but I take a few precautions when using it. Before I start, I clean off my workspace really well first with a cleaner and wet cloth to remove any dust or adhesive residue from a prior project. I also usually wait to work on the covers and spine when the inside is done, if the papers I use are also light. I did a book last month that got a couple of spots on the back cover after I’d already put the design paper on it, so I used a few embellishments and covered up the spots. I’ll see if I can figure out how to make one photo with the before and after so you can see it. I can only add one with my comment.

As of right now, 8:20p est, still no baby, lol.

If I was part machine, I’d be caught up with everything, and I’m not 😂🤣. I wish I could move faster, lol. Thank you so much, though, I do try. Sometimes I take them off and reseat them, over and over, until I like how they look. Some of the paper collections I use have coordinating solid papers, I love being able to use them to mat. I did use a couple of Stampin’Up cardstock colors to mat with, they coordinated really well. If that baby ever comes I’ll be excited to let them have it to enjoy, lol. They don’t know I made them one. I made them a vacation book and helped my dil put their photos in it, so they know I make books. It probably hasn’t dawned on them that I might make them one for their new baby 🥰

Thank you, Tania!! And the paper collection is Echo Park Special Delivery: Baby Boy
