Our weekend together was amazing!! I’m so glad I was able to be there!!

Thank you so very much, this book was truly a challenge, one I didn’t think I was going to finish. It had my brain in a vice. I learned that 1) I hate doing commission work, lol and 2) if I just keep pushing, I can finish and make it work. Not only can I make it work, but I can also be happy with the finished result.

***The parents that received this book LOVED it. I’m so happy to have read those words from them!!***

This book took me so long to make. Not the actual book base, I make it a lot. My customer asked for a flamingo baby book for her new baby girl but I couldn’t find a coordinating flamingo paper pack to create it. It took a while to find just the right digital files for papers and clipart. I’m really happy with the final results and I’m sure she’ll love it.

Hi, Kimberly Adams, where are you from in Indiana? I live in Fort Wayne 😊. Welcome to this amazing group! It’s such a safe place to share and learn.

Commented on Which overall paper aesthetic do you gravitate towards most?

For my baby books, if I need to utilize Etsy for digital papers and ephemera, I gravitate toward watercolor images. Mostly because if I stay with watercolor, they all look comparable to each other if I need to pick from different artists. Otherwise, definitely BOLD & BRIGHT!! Those make me so happy!!

Depending on how big the book is that I’m making, that determines whether I use everything or not. It’s definitely my goal to use as much as possible. When I started collecting paper collections to make books with, I started by buying not only the paper collection, but also a package of ephemera, (sometimes two, if they were different), the chipboard elements, self-adhesive color dots, the sticker book if there was one, and then several extra sheets of the papers from the collection. I discovered that I rarely pulled from all that extra stuff, so I quit buying it. I still buy extra sheets of the papers to make sure that if there’s a particular pattern that I want to use throughout the whole book, that I have plenty. Usually polka dots, plaids, stripes, and smaller patterns. Those are so versatile so I know I can use them when I scrapbook. I also try to pay attention to the background color to make sure I have color and also neutral so my pages flow. I learned that specifically from you Francės, I thank you for that. It’s also helped my scrapbook pages flow as well. 😘
