I wasn't able to find the time to do a 4th bee book but I'm a step ahead on the May challenge.  I've made my daughter a wedding book - her colors are black, dark burgundy and ecru with hints of gold and silver.  Very hard combo to find scrapbook paper in this combo so I fabricobbled it together.  I used the Kindful Mini pattern but took it from 8x8 to 8x10.  I had to make adjustments inside and some worked well and some did not.  
This is my 3rd try to make a book for her and I'm still critical.  If anyone knows of a wedding pack that would fit better with this colors, I'd appreciate a heads up!

I love your design!  It flows so well and love the multiple stamps on the photo mats.  The beads and bee are adorable!  I could go on and on but this is gorgeous! 💜

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.

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. 🤷
