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.

My grandson would LOVE this! (He's 5.). You did such an amazing job with the matting and pulling it all together. 💜

I wasn't sure if Francès covered it on her podcast so hadn't asked yet until I could watch.

I do really like this album too! I will come back to it again for sure.

Thank you!
