New subbie. Girl, you make the most AMAZING albums and thank you for all of the tuts. You have cost me soon much money 😁 I LOVE hearing the giggles ! Don't apologize for them, it means you have a happy daughter and a terrific husband !!

[@bloodlacerose1688]

I do really appreciate the way you do your videos. We get to see what we are creating before the tutorial, then get into it all. Also, I like the way you write out the dimensions and scores, with the score being written on the same line as the cuts, instead of giving us all the cuts and then all the scores and making us try to find the page the coincides with it if that makes sense. Other peoples tutorials can be confusing to this old lady, you know? Anyways my main reason for commenting at all is to tell you that I just love your creations and I learn from them too so that I can take bits and pieces or just make the whole thing. I tend to like only watching the construction of videos anyways and then decorate the way I want to so I am not copying someone completely, which helps as I am a bit darker than other creators. Anywho have a wonderful day and stay creative!!! AMB...Rose

It would be fun to see once the kit products before you make something out of the contents. Thinking about ordering one but would like to see the contents of one.

Super cute!

[@SoniaCastro-jm3vt]

Nice, do you do your mini albums following some sort of guide. I have seen several of your albums, and they always seem so well ordered and similar in stlye

[@LMsCraftyCreations]

Sonia Castro No, I don’t follow any sort of guide. I just sit down and play with the layout until I find what I like.

[@SoniaCastro-jm3vt]
