Hi Frances!

This was such a very interesting and valuable podcast. I have been making your albums since about 2021. As someone mentioned mine have been mostly for gifts. I will be participating in my local Churches, Holiday House Festival in November and I will have some of your projects that I have made to sell. I will be purchasing the teach and sell permit today or tomorrow. This was so helpful. My question for you is since I am dealing with my Church I was going to keep the prices reasonable, but I will be giving a stipend to my Church as a donation. Thanks so much for your information. This was great!

When you plan / make a project do you ever ā€œover purchaseā€ your design paper? I do that and then sometimes I half enough to make a second project but sometimes not.

I am always using scraps to make new cards— many times able to match up with some old solid color scraps. I recently made 5 ā€œCheerflipā€ Folios and with the scraps I used them to make Christmas card fronts. I think so far I have about 8

I am Angela from Buckeye AZ. I too found Frances by accident when searching for album designs. My first YBM album was in 2020, the 8x8 Baby album as a gift for a conworker having her first baby. I decided to make 2 at the same time and being it was my first album, it took me forever, at least it seemed that way! My friend was having a girl and her nursery theme was cherry blossoms. I struggled finding scrapbook paper with cherry blossoms and ended up finding wrapping paper that I bought online and cut down to 12 x 12 sheets. It came out beautiful! I was buying only single tutorials back then but have since subscribed for all the classes and get the podcasts too. I have made several designs since the first album mostly for gifts. Frances’ teaching style is awesome as she takes her time and gives encouragement all the way. I am getting to know her style better and can anticipate her next steps! I love the visuals and having a cut list. I post all my projects on the Mini Album Artists—YBM Students Facebook page. Thank you Frances ad hope everyone has as much fun as I do!

Hi Frances! Your story is fabulous and so inspiring! I loved hearing about your beginnings! You are such an old wise soul for someone so very young! Your 8x8 Baby Album was the first tutorial of yours that I made and it came out so beautiful. I never could believe that I could make something so pretty. It’s all because of you! I have recommended your channel to so many of my paper crafting friends. It’s evident you are loving your life and you are so willing to share your joy with all of us. Thanks again for all you share with us. I’m getting ready to start the Memory Box. I better get going as it’s got to be done by the end of March. I am finishing up placing my Photos in the Big Ol’ Album and it will finally be completed. It only took me 14 mo. Thanks again. Great podcast. Looking forward to #3. šŸ˜€ā¤ļø
