My 8-year-old Som, Wyatt, made a scrapbook for his art fair…

and won First Place. 🏆🥹

He filled it with photos he took — our family, his stuffies, the little pieces of his world that matter most to him.

He followed the ‘Little Gem’ tutorial for the base, but every single paper, sticker, and embellishment was his choice. His vision. His story.

His Father and I are so proud we could burst. 💛

I finished the Flutter Folio!

I followed the original internal structure as given, but I did not recreate the original cover — mostly because I couldn’t find my acetate. And the fact that it is clear is not helping me locate it. It could be anywhere. It could be nowhere. We may never know.

So instead, I redesigned the inside cover using inspiration from the Petals Mini Album and called it a creative decision.

I also added a heart-shaped die cut to create a peek-a-boo pocket.

That heart die cut was supposed to be a “cute little feature.”

It is now a lifestyle choice.

I used it roughly 50 times-okay, it was 5-but once I commit to a shape, I COMMIT. There are hearts in places that don’t even need hearts. I regret nothing.

Paper-wise, I used a mix of Echo Park and Cartabella collections — definitely My Valentine and another Valentine pack from my scrap bin that has forgotten its own name but still delivered strong floral energy.

So overall:

✔Original internal structure

✔Missing invisible acetate

✔Inside cover redesign

✔Peek-a-boo heart pocket ✔Aggressively committed heart era

And that’s my official build report.
