HELLO EVERYONE! My name is Pam. I’ve been part of this community for over 2 years but have never posted — it’s time! 😊

I’m originally from California and moved to Colorado in 2005 so my husband (of 33 years) could coach our Women’s Olympic Wrestling team. It’s been an amazing journey for our whole family, including our two now-adult kids. I hope everyone is cheering on our Winter Olympic teams!

I started crafting at 5 years old with my grandma, making dolls out of bleach bottles. Over the years my skills have evolved, and now I’m definitely the person who sees something and says, “I can make that!” — and do 😉 I make all my own Christmas gifts and décor, which led me to cardmaking and then scrapbooking (which wasn’t really my thing).

Then I found Frances — GAME CHANGER! I love her style and teaching (her laugh is infectious), and the results are amazing — quick, easy, and always blow people away.

I love this tape runner. The best part is all of the refills are interchangeable with the same gun. I only use the temporary hold refill ( green refill) that turns permanent in 24 hours. Gives me a little time to make sure everything is properly lined up without ripping the paper.

Hi Francēs,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your responsiveness. It’s so refreshing, especially since many vloggers tend to overlook comments and emails. Your prompt and thoughtful replies mean a lot!

Also, your clarification on everything really helps—I'm excited to make this big book and I only hope I can do your techniques justice. Joining your community has been one of the best decisions I’ve made!

After years of starting and never quite finishing my scrapbooks, I’m thrilled to say I’ve completed four books in just two weekends, all thanks to your step-by-step tutorials. You make it feel so effortless, almost like an in-person class. Your style and teaching approach are just amazing. I love it all, girl!

Thank you for everything!

Greetings Francės!!! I am getting ready to start my "BIG BOOK" but need some clarification on the different weights of paper.  The material lists calls for both light and heavy weight 8 1/2 x 11 paper but I am unsure when and where to use the specific weight or if I could just use 65lb on everything???  HELP ~ PLEASE ;)
