I decorated the kindful mini album. Used old Prima papers and flowers and wood items from my stash. 😍

The Kindful Mini is finally done... I think. I went completely over the top with embellishments. The paper is Carta Bella Metropolitan Girl. (Anyone else love the smell of CB papers?)
I will definitely be making this album again. I've made a list of papers I want to use just for this design. I don't know if Francės Long will ever be able to top this design. (Is this a challenge I'm throwing down? 😆😛)
The gold flat beads on the front make me think of purses with feet like that.
Love love love!!!

Hello to you all, My name is Dawn and I'm from London, England. I am hooked on watching crafting tutorials especially the gorgeous albums that I see you all making. I love the way you present the Albums Francis, your clear and relaxed tone of voice makes for an excellent teacher, and one I feel I can learn so much from. So now to pick my first project, I'm so happy to have your joined your community👍.

April Challenge:✅ Complete
This was my first time creating an album like this. I ran into a few challenges, like the window pocket. Cutting it out and then cutting out the pattern paper to go on it. I had to redo it a couple of times until I got it close to right. I know I’ll get better at it.

My first project! It has been a while since I have created anything other than a card, so I am happy to start back into the scrappy side of things…baby steps! I made the Veleeta folio…absolutely loved the instruction!

I recently created this baby boy album using the Beginner’s Album by Frances, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! It was such a fun and meaningful project, capturing those precious early memories in a beautiful way.
A heartfelt thank you to Frances for being such a wonderful teacher—your instruction made everything so easy to follow and truly enjoyable. I learned so much along the way!
This album is definitely one I’ll treasure forever. 💙
