Beth Holt, thank you so much 😊! I love that too, “Who’s got a friend who’s three”, Lol. Cracks me up, lol. I sometimes have a hard time finding paper collections to use for the themed birthday parties my daughters-in-law like to do for the kids, so I turn to my bestie, Etsy, for her digital papers and ephemera. About three years ago, I bought a Canon 12x12 craft printer so that I can print edge to edge design paper. I don’t always need 12x12 to create Frances’ books, but when I scrapbook the event for myself, I like to have full sheets to do my layouts on. The next time I need a new printer, I plan to get the one Frances uses. I believe it’s an Epson, and it prints in beautiful color.

Linda, thank you!!

Francės, Bahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂

Francės, you have great tips for mistakes, but I’m usually way past those helps and on to trying to figure out what I can do first before I rip and tear. I try not to make that my first course of action, but sometimes it’s the only way, lol.

Shayne 😂😂😂

Francės, that’s where the rip and tear method comes in, LOL. OOPS, I made a mistake, I’d better rip that off there and tear that off here 😂🤣

I'm not good at watching the tutorials all the way through, ever, before I just dive in, lol. Sometimes I'm okay doing that, and sometimes it bites me in the booty 🫣😂. I do a lot of stopping and starting and an occasional back it up and "pay better attention this time, Jodi", LOL. Because my 'dive right in' mentality sometimes takes me down the path of mistakes, and bad things muttered under my breath, I do end up ripping apart and doing over on occasion, oops!! 🤭

I used Mintay’s Playtime paper collection and bought digital files on Etsy for the ephemera and die cuts. Playtime is a circus theme so I couldn’t use the ephemera from the collection to create the safari baby theme with it that I wanted to.

Francės 😂😂😂😂😂

Patti, fantastic book! I love that you made it a Harry Potter theme. So many added details, I love the vertical pocket!!
