Francės, after I’ve trimmed my paper down to 1” all the way around and I’ve marked each corner with my pencil, my absolute favorite part of making my book is using my bone folder to push those little edges in to create those beautiful corners. That part always makes me so happy and I never get tired of doing it, and then marveling at how wonderful it looks. Question for you…was that an instinctual thing that you started doing, or did someone teach you how to do that? I think about that question EVERY single time I push those little edges in, lol. Then I think about how clever and what a simple little thing to do to polish off the look of our books.

How fun!! Not only the girl’s night out, but that you created a book so you can remember how much fun you girls had!! I love, love, love the gold metallic you added!! I haven’t always liked gold but I’m starting to love it and I want to use it more in my projects. Thank you for sharing your fun night, and your book, with us!!!

They induced her this morning!!! I can’t wait!!

Bring it on!!! I can’t wait to see what you’re working on 😊

Wow, Marilyn, this is beautiful!!! I’m just finishing up a baby book that I needed to do for my son and dil. My new grandson is coming tomorrow and I needed to finish that before I can finish my challenge book. I’m so far behind, lol.

Francės, I definitely love making the mini albums, they’re the closest to a scrapbook for me. The folio seems totally different, but I’m looking forward to going outside of my perceived comfort zone, lol. Maybe I’ll find that I just got into my head and that I love making them just as much as I do the mini albums 🥰

I usually don't gravitate toward the folios so I'm super excited to  join this challenge and try out all of these angles!! Thanks Christine!!

I'm so glad that I was introduced to you, Frances, and YBM!! It has changed my crafting/artistic direction. This podcast was extremely informative and thought provoking. I've never thought about creating my own content and sharing it the way that you have. It has sent my brain into overdrive just thinking about the possibilities. I haven't taken the time to watch this podcast and I think there's one other that I haven't watched. That's happening today!!

Francės Long, they’re by a company that is no longer in business. They’re from Close To My Heart. You might be able to find them in a CTMH sales group. I recently saw another set I’d love to have on Etsy, but the set is $22 😳. Seemed a little pricey to me.
