[@barbenglish1593]

I don't know how you continually come up with new ideas for your books. Your work is stunning, thank you!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Barb!

[@antm64]

Love how your nail polish is so often matching the paper collection used on the mini album you are featuring. Another lovely book. I liked that die cut clock face used here and there...nice continuity. This is a gorgeous paper collection...can't yet bring myself to cut into it...just enjoy paging through the pad. I know...verging on hoarding. Thanks for making this video!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thanks so much, Martie! lol! I know the feeling about hoarding this collection:)

[@nyokasmith6611]

My goodness! I just can't imagine how much work went into this!!! Why in the world would 2 people give you a thumbs down? I wish there was a 3 thumbs up button!! Such awesome work! Thanks for sharing!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Nyoka Smith Thank you, Nyoka!! Really appreciate it:)

[@ih4t3ub1tch]

Absolutely beautiful album. You are so creative.

[@deluiseny]

Your work should be in a museum!!!

[@melodyvowell3911]

I have never seen a more beautiful, stunning, masterpiece as this mini album I have ordered your binding and this tutorial and I have 2 8x8 a 6x6 and a 12x12 of this my favorite collection so I am going to put my heart into this project and see if I can follow your tutorial and make myself as happy as watching your video has made me. I am now a new subbie thanks Melody V.

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Melody!! I hope you have fun making it and don't hesitate at all if you have any questions on the tut! Cathy

[@Heavenlyscrapbooking]

Ohh my goodness!!!!!! Your albums are all just so gorgeous!!!! My jaw just drops every time I see your creations!!!! I wish I could be as talented as you!!! This album is beyond GORGEOUS!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING 😀

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thanks so much, Melisa! I answered your question about the magnets just a bit ago:)

[@beriemab]

Beautiful album. Love all the little details and gorgeous papers. Tfs. Bettina

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Bettina!

[@haribelle4531]

I don't care how old this album is, this is one of the most gorgeous albums I've EVER seen!!! Love this paper collection and sorry I didn't purchase it.

[@lisadelong1455]

Ditto on all the amazing comments. Beautiful album. "A Ladies Diary" collection is/was so popular, I don't understand why Graphic 45 discontinued it. When the collection came out, I only bought several of the single sheets rather than the complete pad, boy what a mistake that was. After seeing everyone's albums using this collection I sure wish I had bought several of the pads. I wish Graphic 45 would bring this collection back by popular demand. Anyway, I love love love your album. Beautiful job!!!

[@donnaatkins3169]

I am in AWE everytime I view one of your mini's. You are so blessed and I am so glad I came upon you on youtube. I wait in anticipation for the tutorial for this mini.

[@kagri]

Wow - that is absolutely gorgeous! Your creativity never fails to amaze me. Another beautiful album - so lovely!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

[@janalford2749]

Wow amazing beautiful and creative work - you nailed it! Absolutely beautiful - awesome job!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Jan!

[@proudmommy702]

I am doing a marathon on your channel watching all of your "not so" mini albums. I just LOVE your work. I have been buying or should I say collecting G45 paper for about four years now. I haven't cut into my older 8x8 pads at all due to the fact that they are out of print (Curtain Call, A Ladies Diary, A Proper Gentlemen, and Olde Curiosity Shoppe, and Steampunk Debutant). I have a ton of the 12x12 sheets of each collection that I purchased at Tuesday Morning over the years. It's time to use these beautiful papers and you are just the motivation I need. Wish me luck. I hope I am successful in creating something beautiful. Thanks for all the awesome videos.

[@peggylittle9224]

This is a very elegant album! You did a beautiful job. You can tell that you put a lot of time into completing it. I think old black & white photos would be gorgeous in this album!😊👏👏👏

[@gloriascraps2]

Absolutely gorgeous album! Love all of the swinging metal pieces and journal flaps. It's a beautiful paper collection, for sure!! Tfs, Gloria

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Gloria!

El album es precioso, me encanta de hecho tengo varios de sus tutoriales, ahora estoy haciendo el de Coiture, y es precioso. Seguramente este tambien lo pondré en la lista de mis proyectos, Felicidades por su trabajo y la animo a seguir adelante con nuevos proyectos. Un saludo desde España.

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Nuria!

[@pamelacunningham3904]

This is definitely a work of art! Thanks so much for sharing it!😃

[@polyannapapers526]

A great album again! I have one of your tutorials and you've got the best tips and little details. And your albums are really stunning. I feel a never can make something like that... But I'm trying though... So thanks again!!!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you!!

[@hayleyf219]

I just love this album so much! I have watched this video so many times, it would have to be my favourite out of all the beautiful albums I have seen on KZbin. I just had to order the punch you used for the edges, those pages look awesome! It arrived today, so I am going to have a go at making this album - can't wait! You are very talented, all your albums are stunning! Such an inspiration to us all, thank you for sharing:-)

[@stampyra]

Your album is another stunner! I love how you highlighted the ladies. I would think you could also use secret garden & maybe some botanical tea as filler. Graphic 45 is good about trying to make their colors work together. JIL

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you! I totally agree about using a little Botanical Tea or Secret Garden in this one:)

[@crafteegurl461]

Absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic job!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thanks Tina!

[@knc1960]

Love love love! Please make a tutorial on how you made this!!!!

[@CraftyLadyCraftyLady]

This is Beautiful...love this collection as well..

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Gwen!

[@Joolz4U]

I just found you and I LOVE YOUR WORK... saw some other of your videos ( Come Away with Me and Graphic 45 botanical Tea Mini Album) and decided to put my comment on this one since it's from August of this year...I subscribed....I really want to see more of your work. So much interaction.....LOVELY!!!!

[@nbenefiel]

This is such beautiful paper. I wish they would bring it back.

[@stinkster100]

love the fancy closure.............most dont fancy them up like that

[@gennalucarino1588]

This album is amazing Cathy! What a talent you have! I hope you create an album tutorial using the Graphic 45 Raining Cats and Dogs in the near future. Have you seen the set yet? It's so pretty!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Genna! I really love the Raining Cats and Dogs!! I'll be working with that one soon:)

[@gennalucarino1588]

SoMuchScrap Oh! that's great! I pre-ordered the paper already! Can't wait to see it! Even more excited to see the album you create!

[@YourBookofMemories]

Unbelievabley beautiful as always!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you!!

[@ОлесяВострикова-в8ы]

Потрясающий альбом!

[@costalgerie]

Me encantan sus videos. Tiene unas manos prodigiosas y muy buen gusto.

[@roomiesbride]

Holy cow! Your album boggles my mind. How do you part with something so labor intensive after you've finished it?? This is just gorgeous!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you! I have less trouble parting with them if I still have the papers available to remake it for myself in the future:)

[@hanathakur3862]

absolutely beautiful and lovely book I'm not getting tutorial of this book in or channel I wanna try

[@kathycadile6421]

This was absolutely beautiful. I just now found your channel and I must say this is by far one of the most beautiful albums I've seen in a while. I am curious about the tutorial though as I would love to make one like this but it looks like it is a lot of pages and since it is not a video I think I might get confused with just written instructions. The album seems so complicated with all its hidden pages and little extras not that I'm complaining but I am such a visual person. I really do like the way it is done though so any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@nurseglenda57]

Gorgeous!!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you!

[@nicoledemana]

Superb album love the hidden pages and the swing tags I like how you repeat the same theme love it..great job are you going to do a step by step vid?

[@barbaradean7871]

This is a beautiful album. I am new to making albums and still learning all I can. Do you know if there is a tutorial somewhere on how to do the swing tabs? Have searched everywhere with no luck. I think its using brads and taping them down inside the pattern paper and using whatever on the outside, but I'm lost. Your videos are amazing and so is your work. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@lisettevial2629]

This is just wonderful! Can you tell me approximately how many photos can it hold ? Just approximately of course, 4x6 and 3x3 size photos. Thank you!

[@altamoab]

I love your work. I found you on you tube last night. Spent hours watching your videos. LOL I don't do well with written instructions, I have dyslexia. I want to purchase a couple of your tutorials but wanted to find out if I get stuck would you be able to help me? I've made a ton of books and am a very experienced book maker. Your books seem a little more complicated due to the layers, pockets, magnets etc. thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.

[@08jburns]

This is beautiful!! What is the edge punch that you used?

[@gaejack]

beautiful

[@cheryllemons1545]

I love this album! Could you please tell me how you attached the swing arms and the closures?? Your work is beautiful!

[@conishkee]

Hi there. I love your work! Your creativity is phenomenal and I enjoy the heck out of viewing them. I was wondering, though, with respect to the clock hands used in this album, are you using cardstock or chipboard to cut them out? I would think chipboard so that they don't lose their shape. Am I correct? Whenever you can answer, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. And, by the way, what's your name?

[@Heavenlyscrapbooking]

Also a quick question for ya, where do you get all your magnets??? I'd so love to know that way I can get some😄

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Melisa, not sure if I replied to you already about the magnets, but you can find super strong thin magnets at kjmagnetics.com. Hope that helps:)

[@tristanrobin]

I realize this is an old tutorial ... however, I have two pads of this paper left over from years ago, and thought I'd give this one a try. However, the pads I have are 12", not 8" pads. Do you think the larger format images would work, or would I need to enlarge all the measurements to make it work in scale? (ugh LOL). Thanks!

[@LasherramientasdeBenita]

Hola me ha fascinado tu trabajo, precioso, original no tengo palabras, me gustaría por favor saber la troqueladora que usas exactamente cómo se llama me ha rechiflado. Gracias desde España.

[@Artiefrog]

Love this. In your tutorial is it a video or written instructions? Also do you show how to make the album book part? New to this. Thank you

[@Monkeydreamz1]

+Artiefrog The Ladies Diary tutorial is in PDF format only (written instructions with photos) that can be viewed on a tablet, computer, cell phone, etc. All of the album tutorials include instructions for the page designs and cover design. I have a separate binding tutorial that gives measurements for all of the different sizes of albums. You can use any hinge binding method in the albums. Thanks for your interest:)

[@jackiewellman9643]

Artiefro

[@lakshmigayatri7369]

Did u use hinge binding for this ma'm??

[@LaKerOoOl]

Your albums are amazing, i love them all and you are so inspiring! I wanted to ask, do you really write down on this gorgeous paper?! I've recently finished a Botanical tea album and it breakes my heart cover the paper with photos and journaling! :)

[@Monkeydreamz1]

***** Thank you! Lol! I know what you mean! I don't journal directly on the papers, usually add that on other paper and don't permanently adhere it in. I add photos on the insides of the flaps so I can keep the outside of the page just the pretty papers:)

[@rosalie605]

magnifique.

[@sflouden1]

Gorgeous!!

[@Monkeydreamz1]

Thank you, Sandra!
