Just wow Frances. You're really blowing up. So happy for you. Also so happy for all that joined, knowing your giving in to those creative urges that we all probably had for some time before we finally gave in and said " let's do this". I feel like during these times of crafting and creating we get to explore and express ourselves in a way like no other. So I comend all you newbies ( I'm kinda new as well so I know the excitement your having. ) for making the choice to do this and Thank you all for allowing us to be a part of your authenticity. Can not WAIT to see what everyone comes up with.

Just remember, to always have fun with what ever you're creating. Let your inner child go wild. For you will be thanking you for doing so. That inner child can really make life so much more fun if you allow them to. ( a lesson I've been learning while doing shadow work. My creations have allowed me to regain a beautiful relationship with my inner child.. so thank you Frances so much for making this space for everyone's wacky, unique, adventurous, beautiful and innocent inner childs. Lol. You're doing massive healing globally and didn't even know it. Much love to everyone here. Now let's go have some fun.. shall we.

I have an album made with this same paper pack. Well actually it was in the beginning days so I would find images and save then and crop then print them out. I've only been using paper packs for about a year and those have come from sales at hobby lobby. But this looks so BEAUTIFUL. I used rhinestone paper and individuals. As well as glitter and holographic paper as well. I've always thought of weddings to have that elegance and bling. ( been married two times but never had a wedding lol. Might be why I love love creating albums for weddings and babies. (2 topics my cut off has been created for)

I'll get mine posted soon so maybe you can get some inspiration for yours. ( not that you need it). I know most of my creations have had many ppls ideas be my inspirations.

This answers my question on one of your albums. If you drew out your creations first or if you just went with the flow. I've started drawing out an album compiled of a bunch of your designs into one book. It's going to be something. And I just realized I do have one of the albums I've made from your free video. I made several but only have the one left. I'll post a video on here soon. I've also sent you dm. Kinda needing some personal help on something I've been avoiding. But this person's been waiting months and I can't get past this hump I'm stuck at and just thought maybe you could give an outsiders opinion with someone with great creativity like yourself. Hoping is not asking to much. I mean we could do a 900 number set up and charge 9.99 a min. I'll just be talking very very fast. Would probably write a script to follow so I don't find myself with a 45 min conversation ( you know how I can get lol) anyways. Just when ever you find a min of free time. I'd REALLY appreciate you for possible saving my behind on this project that's already taken way wayy to long to get to the purchaser. Until then. Sending you and everyone on here joyous energies for their creative spaces. Much ❤️

wow, Stephens n a whole other level. I love the back page. I had actually made my son a Pokémon book that I cute out all the characters and had tin from various of containers and placed different background onto so he could use the magnets to place his Pokémon and act out the battles. but to use a picture as a puzzle now thats cool. thank you so much for sharing this with us Frances. Ohh I almost forgot to mention. Ive also used lights. those fairy lights with the little white box on and off  switch. I had them connected to the flowers and beaded hangers I had on the covers. You could absolutely use them for pages as well. I cant wait to see anything you do come up with. Thanks again

I love your hair and how you didnt tell Sampson you were recording but still acknowledged him. such a good momma. debating on making this one now  or.. theres just so much to choose from

I cant get enough of your work. Just a few questions, if you dont mind. When you are coming up with a new design do you sketch out each page or do you just kinda go with the flow, also, have you ever become stuck on a book when It come to designing. I have one that Ive completed all the pages for, and now its time for decor, But the theme this person wanted was the roaring 20s. She picked out the blue art deco paper, But because I'm left only with 2 colors, blue and gold, and I dont like putting pictures of other people in an album that is created for photo's, I'm just lost. What advise would you give someone that finds themselves like me, stuck and cant find that way out. so to speak. btw, its been nearly 4 months now, and I'm REALLLY needing to get this to the purchaser 

Ive been on a Frances binge for nearly 6 hrs. I usually would had  start making something, but know I have to many projects unfinished already.  Ive told myself I will not start another. So instead Ive decided to procrastinate by watching you with your amazing talents. Frances you are not just only talented, but you truly know how to engage with your people. and I thank you and hope that you keep being you. Not only do ppl learn through your creativity and gifts but they learn how to follow a beautiful inspiration like yourself. Keep shining beautiful. You make it look bad ass!! 

Ohh this was just days ago. So yeah. No rush to my request. I've had two myself. My oldest is 18 and I'm still trying to get things done from when he was a little one. Lol. Something I did that ended up turning out to be so cool. As little man gets older and puts things in his pockets. Get a big pickle jar and you can decor it how ever you like, but put everything you find from his pockets in the laundry in that jar and when he's old enough you can give him the jar and watch his brain 🤯🧐🥳🤣. And all in that order. Haha. Mine was like I was looking for that for days. I guess I could have told him about it sooner. Save him from getting down in the dumps when Something went missing. But that's a huge part of life. At least mine anyways. Looking for something for EVERRRRR then it show up one day out of no where. Lol. Tell mommy we give her all our love and good job on making such a handsome little one. My youngest ( I have 2 boys 11 years apart) come out looking like E T. Not kidding. He was so funny looking it was cute. He grew out of it thank God. Lol. Best wishes.

Congratulations. Would love to see it put together if mommy don't mind sharing. I know some ppl don't like their young ones on the big ol internet for good reasons. I just love to see these put together fully.

What part of n.c? I'm from Fayetteville. Living in Jax fl right now but see myself headed home in do time. I couldn't imagine going any further up with the cold weather. Lol. Glad your here with us. Can't wait to see what your able to put together on that free time of yours. I've just recently become disabled, which has given me a little too much freedom. I do miss working. But crafting is so much fun and makes the time fly by.
