☀️ Endless Summer? More like Endless Second-Guessing. 😅

So I just finished the challenge album using the Echo Park Endless Summer collection kit and ephemera pack… and let me tell you: the album came together just fine — but the decorating part? That was a whole other emotional journey.

I kept trying to make the colors flow, but the only thing flowing was my confusion. At one point, I had three different ephemera clusters arguing on my desk like they were in a reality show reunion episode. Chaos. Absolute chaos.

In the end, I embraced the mess, slapped it all down, and decided to call it “abstract summer vibes.” 🌴🎨

But hey — not every project is going to win Best in Show, and that’s okay. I’m not defeated. I’m just mildly annoyed and highly motivated to try again. 😎✂️

Happy Thursday everyone! The Petals album was the first YBM album I decided to tackle. I used a collection from Echo Park called ‘Telling Our Story’. I love the stickers and cut aparts from this collection. I really enjoyed making this album, and I’ve already started on another!

Hello Everyone! My Name is Meghan and I live in Loudoun County, Virginia. I am a Domestic Engineer ( a name I made up, I’m a SAHM), a Navy Veteran, and a Memory Preserver (that’s the fancy name a friend gave me instead of scrapbooker). I have a degree in Fine Arts and have been making scrapbooks since I first discovered a Hobby Lobby in 2000. 😆 Previously I would make layouts to place inside photo albums, and I still do, but it was about a year ago that I started making whole albums. I stumbled upon this community after watching one of the product shares on YouTube and I absolutely fell in love with the technique and style of these scrapbooks. Francės you do an amazing job and thank you for sharing your passion with us. I’m here to learn, share, and enjoy!
