Challenge complete. The paper is from Michael's. Super cute paper that I did not photograph well. It has gold foil accents on the paper. It's cool and cloudy and not great for pictures, but I shall not complain about poor lighting as last weeks heat index was 110+.
My camera is stamped in green to add a pop. I chose this camera stamp because it reminds me of my old cannon film camera that I use on nature walks.
I used Stickles on the cover to add dimension to the fire.

The school book is finished. It's gaudy😂, but I love it.
It holds around 80 pictures and has designated spots for K-12 pictures.

Edit update: HELP!
I had to rip a page out because I scored wrong and didn't notice! I cut the excess of the wrong hinge off and cut a strip to slide into the page. I don't think it's noticeable. I really don't want to start all over! What do y'all think???
Why am I obsessed with glitter covers??? I think I may need an intervention!
Working on a school themed album using the Today Mini Album.

The class I tackled this time was the Folio Mini Album.
I got this flamingo 🦩 paper from Amazon. This will be a birthday gift for someone obsessed with flamingos. The paper is extremely busy, but it is supposed to be wild.
This was a quick album to put together. It took only 4 sheets of patterned paper, so I can get two albums from the one pack of paper. I wish I had used black paper instead of white, but the white fit the recipient better.
I guess I didn't learn my lesson with glitter because I used it again on the cover. 😂

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!

Challenge complete.
I used Carta Bella's Pirates Collection along with some other papers I picked up online somewhere. Added some gold buttons here and there to represent gold coins as well as some gold circle punches. I believe the anchor buttons are from a cookie tin my Meemaw gave me. (If you know, you know! 😂)
I didn't make this for anyone in mind, which is unusual as I always have a person and purpose (wedding gift, babyshower, etc.). Because of that, it took entirely too long to finish. I stared at it for days willing it to give me inspiration. WWFD?
I guess it will go on a shelf until someone needs it.

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.
