Your video tutorials are easy to understand and follow. Love your informative narrative...lots of tips and tricks for success. You've made a waterfall look so easy...much appreciated!

[@mariaheredia6947]

Me encantan tus albunes y mas tus tutoriales mil gracias saludos desde Chile

[@dvcrztb]

Very pretty album. Love the ribbon embellishment on the pockets.

[@robertacomeau6504]

Great tutorial . . like your pocket/flap horizontal tie closure and a variety of playful action pages. Thanks for the share, new in paper crafting.

[@donadeam2313]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am looking for a base album for a Halloween album and this will be perfect. Your directions are always so clear and easy to follow.

[@teresemartinez6215]

I love the flap over the waterfall, it helps to protect the pages from damage.

[@ginahernandez-zumbamami49e51]

Love the album and the tutorial was very easy to follow thank you so much and have a blessed day

[@rennydesigns]

As always Laurie, excellent directions! Thank you so much for another must do project!!

[@melenacastro3486]

Beautiful album love your work.

[@joanndobbins4928]

Hello Lori, I started making this album tonight and noticed in your written measurements above, there was an error. Under back page, Top Flap it says to score on the 5.50 side at .50 and your verbal instructions are to score on the 8 inch side at .50. I always write down the measurements from what you have written and then watch the video all the way through before and noticed the discrepancy. Just wanted to let you know, I don’t see how you keep all of this straight and appreciate so much all the work you put into your tutorials! Love all your albums! You were the first one that inspired me to make one and I love making them now! Your instructions are so easy to follow and understand. Thank you again for all that you put into teaching us! Jo Ann

[@reddawn721]

Love your tutorials. You have turned me into a mini album making machine. I also only use art glitter glue. Live in the south, and you are right, the ATG glue does not stick as well. Even use it with my card making.

[@barbaramcgirl2825]

Very special, awesome job. Thanks for the tutorial and sharing. Happy Fall🍁

[@annamachicote5898]

Love this album. I'm sure going to make one. Thanks

[@anntaylor7781]

Lovely album, Lori. Your creativity is so inspiring. Hugz

[@carolleewashington2920]

I love this and cant wait to give it a try. Thanks so much!

[@patpowell6684]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been looking around for inspiration for a Christmas mini. The paper is lovely so I only wanted to use one page type where lots of photos can be added. I'm going to use this page. I'll make mine 8x8 and do the waterfall on the front as well as the back, I've only just started making minis but when I was doing waterfalls on my cards I did them the same as you, constructed them them added to the card....less chance of it going crooked Lol 😘

[@ScrappingPosh]

love the fall theme!

I just love your album and thanks for sharing the tutorial and the measurements. You give the measurements for the cover and the binding but I do not see the size for the spine(unless I missed it). Could you help me out. Thanks

Sorry I am late responding, but the spine measurement is 2.50" x 8".
