Challenge complete. And boy did I make it a challenge!

I made the mistake by thinking I could wrap a book in glitter cardstock. There is glitter all over the house. I'm finding glitter in places it should not be!

Is it pretty? Yes! Will I ever do it again? Nooooo!

The paper is a digital download from Etsy. There were no sayings or cut-a-parts, so I had to cut images from the paper. I printed some big and some small to have various sizes. The colors are not the traditional Christmas color scheme which I liked.

This is one of my favorite layouts and I might say that about all of them, but this one I've replicated the most.

The last picture is George. She just had to see what I was doing.

I'm still working my way through all of the classes. This is the Flutter Folio. It came together faster than I thought it would. This may become a go-to. It packs a lot of pictures.

I added a shaker front. The star confetti is a little hard to see. I also did this to the front pocket.

The paper is from a friend. I think she said she got it on Temu(?). Cutting out all of the cute images took longer than putting the album together! ✂️

I chose this pumpkiny-burnt orange paper. If I had to do over again, perhaps a different color. Something lighter to make the prints pop more.

I'd 100% recommend making this one! So much fun.

Update: I added some flowers and this jeweled garland stuff and feather thing I found at HL. It definitely finished the album. It's ready for to be gifted.

Finished this wedding book for a cute young couple I work with. I don't remember the name of the pattern. Francės Long will have to help me out. This holds a lot of pictures!

I think the paper is Echo Park.

It needs some flowers but I haven't had a chance to go to the store. Crazy hot outside!

I'm working my way through the tutorials. This time I tried to tackle the Memory Box. It was a challenge! I love the idea and would make this over and over, but woah, my patience is gone. 😆 I used some old paper from my stash called The Green Stack from Hobby Lobby. I have lots of scraps leftover to maybe scale this to a smaller box (if I can work up the courage).

Lots of fussy cutting cute animals.

Francės Long you must have the patience of a saint!

One last project before I go back to work tomorrow. 😑

I had lots of leftovers from the green bee album, but not enough to make something big. So once again, I scaled the petal album to 5x7.

I chose to use the blue/gray paper for my base. I am in love with it. The yellow ribbon is a little more neon than I wanted, but it is what it is.

Heading to a sweet farm themed baby shower. I created this sweet mini album (delightful mini album) for the grandma to match the big ol' baby book for the mom-to-be. I didn't need the large version because I wanted to use all of my scraps from the beast (I followed the 8x8 baby album. It is the beast.), so I scaled it to 8x8 too.

I may post pics of the beast later.

Once again, thank you Francės Long for all of the inspiration!

For the challenge, I worked on this bee-utiful book. I went with a green base instead of brown or black. I absolutely LOVE the color!!! There are hexagon cut outs throughout to represent the bee hive. The little hexagon mirrors made my day! I even did a few cut outs on the back cover. Lots and lots of cutting.

I may have over decorated the book, but I couldn't help myself.

For my first project in over 15 years, I tackled the quick mini album with some paper I bought a long time ago. I had some issues with the spine. I tried to hide the ridge with some ribbon. 😬 Yikes. I'm giving it to my best friend how owns a farm. She will never notice it.
