This looks so awesome! Love your ephemera thought and the layering of papers. It all works so well together!

For me, sometimes the heavier paper feels like it's more sturdy if I don't have to do much bending (which for me seems like it doesn't bend cleanly).  If it will hold pockets or flips, it's nice that it's sturdier.

YBM I love to hear that and can't wait to see the finished product from Shayne!

I've done 3 bee books and I LOVE LOVE LOVE bee paper. Do I dare do another one? Lol🐝🐝

This is so beautiful and elegant! The recipients are so fortunate! Really awesome job! 💜

I use the same methods too! I actually prefer to use art glitter glue or nearly art glue for almost everything inside the book except photo mats and I use the adtech runner for those (but sometimes glue here too).

I find that if I lay the glued paper gently into the book at first, it allows me to slide it perfectly into position - then I use my tools to smooth and burnish for adhesion. I found that tape doesn't give me that adjustment time - I'm just stuck with where it is.

Side note - I have the big scotch taperunner but sitting next to it are two partially unspoiled new rolls of tape leftover from me being totally unable to load it and getty it to work. 🤷

The construction and paper choice! It looks amazing! You've unlocked new ideas in my brain with this use. 😊

Thank you! I loved this paper collection and thought it fit the project really well.

I follow your page there but funny side note - I found you via YouTube or Pinterest first (I believe) and didn't know you were on Facebook until much later.

The photo set up is a work in progress. I love working with graphic45 papers!
