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. 😀❤️
