Here is my hot mess desk. I also have an entire two door closet with craft supplies. I have a variety of hobbies that require storage (wood burning, leather earrings, school pennants, glass etching, baking). Scrapbooking is my longest running, most passionate hobby.

The Kindful Mini is finally done... I think. I went completely over the top with embellishments. The paper is Carta Bella Metropolitan Girl. (Anyone else love the smell of CB papers?)

I will definitely be making this album again. I've made a list of papers I want to use just for this design. I don't know if Francės Long will ever be able to top this design. (Is this a challenge I'm throwing down? 😆😛)

The gold flat beads on the front make me think of purses with feet like that.

Love love love!!!

Francės Long Girl!!! You have shown out on this newest album!!!!! Holy smokes it is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to get it completed. I started the embellishments this evening on the cover. I can't stand it!! I can't stop staring at it. I'm using ALL the things!!!! If I can glue it down, it's going in!!!

Wow...just can we take a moment and bow to your creativity!!!

Food for the bees!

The bee album is a gift for a very special friend's birthday. I made cupcakes to join the album.

Challenge complete.

I used paper and embellishments from all over: Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Etsy.

I really wished I could have been at the class!!!! I watched the video a few times and did my best to match it.

Next time I am there!

The cover paper is absolutely stunning and I did not capture how pretty it is. The cacti are orange foil.

The floral pages have a sheen on them. All from HL.

Folio mini, again, but this time bright and bold!! I was inspired by the poll. I've had this paper since 2009.

I used little square mirrors here and there for a disco ball effect.

I added an extra pocket page where I included a zipper. I was wondering around the notions in the sewing section of HL and thought about how I could incorporate it. Instantly messaged YBM and asked Frances what she thought! I can't believe it actually works. It sticks a tad, but even when I tug it, it holds in place. I will definitely do it again!

I finally finished this book for a friend for her grandson. It's been sitting bare for a few months.

This is the folio mini with an extra page for a pocket. The paper is from HL and paired with some EP ephemera.

There are two inserts that I didn't get a picture of before wrapping it up.

Mighty Mini Album for yet another wedding gift. I'm not sure what's in the water around here, but I'm booked for a wedding almost every weekend from now until the middle of June!

I wish I had more color along the edges instead of the photo mats.

This book holds a ton of pictures! Echo Park with a few random pages from HL.

Challenge complete. Sweet baby book made with a Modascrap paper set. Very sweet paper. A very soft coral pink. I added the metal baby thingies to the shaker cover. I've had them for a long time, but I'm sure HL is where I got them. I added another page pocket so I could have two top inserts.

One of my co-workers is having her first baby in June. She's over the moon. Perfect time for this challenge!!!
