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. 💙

Hi everyone! I have completed the April challenge! Early too! And I actually made 2 albums—same design—same paper pack but with variations. I didn’t realize it but I have the same paper pack—Carta Bella HONEYBEE as Shayne! Don’t think I could outshine his design—but it will be interesting to see how my creative spirit works along his. I know that I LOVE Love love the challenges. I will have one album to keep and one maybe to gift or sell! Another fun project. As always…I gave glitches along the way—I think for me it’s working with the black cardstock as the base—I will watch Frances’ videos over and over to get it right but always have a tendency to go wrong—however, I always manage to have a work around! Black is hard to see for me on the video. You will see on the Framed image on the front inside cover I adhered it flush to the top——the tag was then unable to fit in the pocket—so I made a shorter tag and used the larger tag and put in the inside pocket—No one will ever know! Right? I added tassels with Bee charms on the spine and a charm on the tie ribbon. I hope you like my albums—always fun for me! I’ll have to pass on the May challenge—I’m having a right shoulder replacement May 5th so will be out of commission in the craft room for at least one month—arm in a sling and no driving too! Have a great day!

Back in 2024 I was making this Accordion flip for my mom for Mother's Day. She suddenly passed away in late April and I was not able to show it to her. 😢. Nevertheless, we all signed it and gave it to her during her wake. 🙏

I wanted to make something extra special for my granddaughter’s preschool teacher as she is truly a great teacher. I went with a heart themed version of the Post-It Note & Notepad Holder.

A dear friend asked me to document our friendship through the years. Adapted the Accordion folio, added a lot of pages and two waterfalls. I really like the result. 😍
