Hi! I had this Pinwheel folio ready for decorating for several months. I used the new Text{ures} collection by Lou Collins paper. Lou is a UK designer that I have followed for like 6 years. She is back to designing. 🤗. Hope you like it!

Back in 2024 I was making this Accordion flip for my mom for Mother's Day. She suddenly passed away in late April and I was not able to show it to her. 😢. Nevertheless, we all signed it and gave it to her during her wake. 🙏

A dear friend asked me to document our friendship through the years. Adapted the Accordion folio, added a lot of pages and two waterfalls. I really like the result. 😍

During my trip for the in person class, I made this 6x6 mini album from the materials I had left from the class. Today I finished decorating with almost all the goodies in my bag☺️ and some Prima paper and various ephemera packs from my stash. The picture shows what it is left from my goodies. Thanks Francės Long for your inspiration. 😍
