I just found this tutorial I love your work . You make it so easy to follow.

Fantastic album idea and fabulous paper! I got the Alice in Wonderland paper and actually had a wobble thinking about cutting into it! This solves my problem massively ❤

[@SeaHorseRanchGirl]

Thank you, Clare. I'm planning to make this for my Sis. I'll photocopy handwritten recipes from our gramma to tuck into the pages. First, I'm working on your fab Natures Sketchbook album. Your workshops and tutorials help me get thru cold wet winters.

This is a very cute album. I really like the accordion style. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.

[@laurelfay5953]

Hi, first time I've seen one of your videos, I will like and subscribe. I absolutely love this album and it's simplicity. It is so beautiful. I have this collection but was afraid I wouldn't have enough to make an album with it. I am definitely making one in the new year. Thank you so much, excellent instructor BTW. God Bless.

[@annpollard9873]

This has become my "go to" mini album design. I'm on my third one and each one is so unique by using different pattern paper. Thanks so much for sharing your talent! Love watching your videos!

[@teresatrump8366]

I really needed this to create a guest book for my grand daughter's wedding. Thank you.

I love the idea regarding the ribbon ends, thanks for sharing.

[@corinnecowper1339]

What a great idea! Love the way you describe how to make the expanding album. I am just about to embark on making my own personal album to gather together all my photographs and ephemera which means more than one album since I'm ancient. I think you've helped me to decide how I'm going to go about it. Thank you.

[@pdtrubber]

[@ljstorey1]

Still gorgeous! Love this album. Thanks so much.

[@kathleenwardingley5823]

Another wonderful tutorial I will be making this Thank you Claire your a star and so very talented ✨✨✨

[@ljstorey1]

Thank you for showing us how to do this. I've seen several & could never figure out how it was made. I'm going to have to give it a try. I was wondering if you have heard of a US shop called Scrapbooking Made Simple. The lady that owns it is wonderful & she has come out with her own line of double sised tape. It has more stick & there is 85'foot on a roll. She has all the sizes & her prices are FANTASTIC. She always tries to keep everything she does with the lowest price so us regular crafters can afford it. She has come out with some beautiful dies, stamps & papers. The nice thing is on her dies you can mix & match. She does a learning video every Sat. She just a wonderful person like you. I hope you;ll check her out. Happy creating, Linda

[@sharongeorge4096]

Beautiful!!

[@sharishafii2874]

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Hazel, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. Happy crafting :-) C

[@hannahm6294]

Clare i love your designs and tutorials and have made a few and were spot on . today i am trying my hand on this one . I am cutting my card stock 5 pieces @ 6 3/4 X 7 1/2 shouldn't it be 6" x 7 1/2

[@debbiehaggart379]

Where do I buy chipboard from? I have been everywhere and nobody even understands what Im talking about.

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Debbie, thanks for calling by and commenting. We sell it on our website at www.mycreativespirit.co.uk . Happy crafting 😀

[@debbiehaggart379]

I actually did find it on amazon, listed under book board. I wasnt sure if I could order it from the U.K. In in Canada.

[@ruthiew244]

What is the maximum number of pages you could do with this style of album?

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Ruth, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. There really is no limit other than it would get seriously deep. You'd need long ribbons to tie it up then :-) C

[@apple4jess1]

Great video with the exception it sounding like the instructor was chewing gum.

[@tessamae4477]

It's hard for me to "follow" these books or albums, since you have to buy them at your shop, and I have accummulated 12 x 12 inches papers that have different and varried designs on them! And, I'm not very creative when it comes to this!

[@hannahm6294]

Clare I'm so sorry but i did forget i was scoring these cards please disregard my comment (except the first part) f (I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DELETE MY MESSAGE)

[@debsb53]

Love this video. But your measurements don't fit properly
