Just want to clarify...Frances, you have created a 2 page scrapbook page and when we are done, we will be able to create a 12x12 total book?   If I wanted to make a book to commemorate say an upcoming family trip, can I choose my patterned paper with that in mind?   Or are you going to use a different theme for your design?   I'm thinking in terms of a cruise trip we have planned next year and making the entire book with cruise themed paper?   What do you think???

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 “over purchase” 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 “Cheerflip” Folios and with the scraps I used them to make Christmas card fronts. I think so far I have about 8

It is great for retired folks like me! Wonderful for dexterity and creative mind development!

Great video! I always never had time when I worked — I barely had time to get things done around the house and being tired! I do Best having craft time first thing in the morning. I feel my best—-

Francės Long—-love you back! 

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. 😀❤️

I love the Big Ol’ Album! It’s a Beast! But I made it and it was great! Thanks so much!
