I feel like this needs an 'all of the above'!

Michelle Houston I found it directly from the Echo Park website and as of this morning, they still had it available.  I love the components of it...so pretty and fun.

It's really beautiful! I love the paper and how fun to see one completed with photos and all! Awesome work! 💜

Thank you! I love how easily these projects come together with Francès' tutorials. Not to mention she has a soothing voice on top of it all.

I saw this bookish paper collection and loved it!

I keep coming back to sneak a peek at this one. Just beautiful and my eye catches something new every time. 💜

I've had ribbons pull out from under the paper so this was something I started doing to counteract it.

This is such a cute album!  I love the papers and how you layered them.  Someday, I will learn how to do a video like this.  It shows your book in a much better way than my static photos.  Really excellent work!  💜

I love the colors and details together in your book! The edging adds a beautiful element to the whole thing. So well done! 💜

This is so gorgeous! From the styling to the matting to the paper colors. Beautifully done! 💜

Thank you Francès!

I have tried light, medium and heavy weight papers. On my recent projects, I've stuck with medium. Heavy has cracked the worst and light weight lifts from the chipboard when handling the book unless I put adhesive on every single inch.

The chip board is usually medium to heavy weight. In this case it was medium weight.

For spacing, I've tried the 3 widths of chipboard but found it to be just a little small so I have spacers 3, 5 and 7mm. The 3 has been too small so I mainly use the 5mm.
