A look through my diy vintage lapbook

[@lorikendrick5076]

I made Nik's lapbook as my daughters wedding book. Places for people to sign in and all kinds of pockets for the honeymoon as she collects maps, cards, etc. It was this same setup. Love yours!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Wonderful! Love that - what a great memento!

[@birdlover955]

This is seriously the most amazing journal I have ever seen! Well done! I am in awe.

[@MadPaperCrush]

thanks, Jill! I agree - Nik's tutorial was awesome!

[@juliao1255]

I just love, love, love this! Thank you for sharing. Very inspirational!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you!

[@kayhammock]

Wow. There's a lot in this. Have you enjoyed using it?

[@MadPaperCrush]

Right now I mostly enjoy flipping through it for inspiration - that’s how I’m using it!

[@CountryMorningCreations]

I love everything. So many tuck spots!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you! I love the tuck spits too.

[@wordscrafter]

I LOVE this! I'm almost finished watching her series on this and I really, really want to make a few! You did a fabulous job, bravo!!!!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you! It was a wonderful series, and as you can see - I loved doing it!

[@Psalm_27.4]

I saw Nik’s Lao Book last year, 2022. It was very impressive. You did a beautiful job with yours. I don’t know what people did with lapbooks, but they certainly look intriguing! They seem to require quite a bit of to create as well. Nevertheless, it seems like one of the big benefits of making one is that you learn a plethora of techniques to create nooks and crannies in journals. Super cool!!!

[@MadPaperCrush]

You definitely learn a lot doing a big project like this one!

[@annefernstrom9418]

You did an excellent job making this lap book !! I love the folders and all the different flaps and pockets. Also your choice of designs for each background is very well matched. Thank you for the links on how it was made, I'd love to make one for myself. Thank you for your presentation- you just gained another subscriber ❤ !!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate the feedback and I hope you make a lapbook for yourself. It was a labor of love and SO much fun!

[@johnibrazzell764]

Amazing job! Hard to believe it is your first lap book!! Very talented and I am now a subscriber

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you so much, Johni! I appreciate your feedback! Oh - and welcome!

[@N3k0N3k0N3k0]

This lap book is really amazing! So beautiful and well "engineered" (I don't know what else to call it.) I watched the first few videos of Nik's series a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed them, but this project is way above my skill set! Yours is absolutely gorgeous...thank you for sharing.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you Heather. I love the word "engineering" - because that's exactly what it felt like! 💕

[@MichelleRaeLandry]

Sharon I love your lap book! Definitely worth the wait! I love the pocket on the front and the inside papers are wonderful! I love how well put together it is and it's so much fun looking at all your little nooks and crannies! #lapbooklove

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks, Michelle! I agree, they are so worth it. I'm even toying with the idea of making another one...haha. Right now, just a thought, though!

[@jamee_maree]

This is sooooo beautiful!!! Don’t tell Nik but I love it more than even hers. Fantastic ideas!!!!

[@MadPaperCrush]

You are too kind! And I won't tell! 😉 Thanks so much for watching!

[@jessicaeiss2541]

Very nice....I just finished watching Nik's series tonight and went looking for more videos.

[@MadPaperCrush]

thanks! It was really fun to do.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I've just found Nik's channel and I'm going through the Lap Book videos, I think I'm up to #9 maybe now.

[@MadPaperCrush]

they are all amazing! some very talented people!

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@MadPaperCrush They look like so much fun but most of my craft supplies are in storage, I have no fabric, glue, scrapbook paper, inks, ephemera. I used to scrapbook so I have rubber stamps and goofy scissors and hole punches and eyelets and stuff , but not here. Plus books to rip up. I think I'd want a thicker spine too. Was yours the one where you used two books and made a spine to attach them at the center? That seems like a good plan because you could make it any thickness you want. Seems like so much fun to explore, you could tuck little games in there back pockets, like a deck of cards, some dice and Yahtzee score papers or something. I want to make one. I saw one with a big pocket on the front, might be yours, which is brilliant because that could be switched out for one year to the next for notes or bullet journal or something.They are one of a kind works of Art, fabulous I just love them. I would want a little removable section for Field Notes, with some kind of absorbent paper in it to Press Flowers in, so I could go for a walk and pick flowers and sandwich them between the pages and press them. Maybe watercolor paper would work. Or when I was in college they had in the bookstore some kind of Botanical paper for specimens or pressed flowers. It was really thick absorbent stuff.

[@FayeTouve]

This is just fabulous and looks like so much fun to make! I am still searching for two sets of covers that are the same size! I love all the ephemera you have included.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks, Faye - it was fun to make. Keep up the search - you'll be glad you did! And I say - start on the ephemera now, I think that's what took me the longest! 😂

[@gillianfarago4496]

Great work! 😃 You even sounded like Nik in a couple of places “nothing to see here”! 😂😃

[@MadPaperCrush]

haha - I guess it showed how many times I watched her videos to do this project! 😂

[@Vikiwastestime]

You did a fantastic job, Sharon! I really love your interpretation of Nik's wonderful lap book. New subby here, looking forward to seeing more of your creations.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you so much! I look forward to having you around. 😀

[@Sircaymen]

Beautiful lapbook. You are very talented. Do you have a tutorial for this project? Would love to follow along. Thank you.

[@MadPaperCrush]

[@MadPaperCrush]

Great suggestion, I hope to put one together soon!

[@teyannadean4915]

I have seen my share of lapbooks and this one by far is my absolute favorite! It is sooo awesome. I made one for a friend for xmas last year and I bit off more than I was prepared for it was massive even though I had planned it our. In the end I had to reinforce the spine but as always when crafting it turned out beautiful in the end but it was work! TFS. I just found you on another page and subscribed. Be safe, be blessed, increase your joy, be good to yourself and those that love you. Peace be with you.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks so much, Teyanna! I agree - this book was some work - but I had so much fun making it. Thanks for subscribing! 😊

[@marlenejones6266]

What is the size of this book? It's very well made. Lots of work involved but yours is exquisite.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks, Marlene! I haven't measured it lately - but I think it's about 9" x 6".

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you so much Maud! I'll definitely be doing some more. Thanks for subscribing!

[@Tracymw99]

How were the flip pages (next to last section) attached to each other? Thank u.. 🤩

[@MadPaperCrush]

Hi Tracy - I'm not exactly sure which ones you are talking about - there are so many sections! 😂 I think all of the flip pages were secured by using a flap that was glued underneath the base page. I hope that makes sense!

[@Tracymw99]

The three that were attached.

[@patvalenzuela5105]

Very clever and fun. Meticulous !

[@WhiteRavenBookRook]
