Magnifique ton album, merci Sam pour ton partage 💐🥰💐🥰

[@sonia.jarrett]

This is absolutely stunning, cant wait to start this one. I'll be doing 5his fir a friend in hospital & will be fir a good few months, so I'll have time to do it without rushing, want it for her to come home to, so much better than just a get well soon card, will last longer than flowers, in 5ime she can add some if her own pictures & ephemera. Thank you so much for having the patience to show this one 💗💗💗

[@jairoyepes5500]

WOW!!! That is a gorgeous album! Thanks for sharing it with us Sam!!! God bless!!!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Fantastic tutorial for an absolutely gorgeous mini album. The treasure books, junk journals and these are my favourite things to do.

[@illawallaroo]

What a gorgeous piece. A fairytale album indeed.

[@katherinehaught1324]

This was all so very interesting. I have never made an album but now you have really inspired me to make one or build one l should say. I never got bored watching this or listening to you. You have inspired me to do so much as l’ve been watching one tutorial after another. I’m trying to go back and catch up so l’ve been staying up late at night, almost every night. You should see the shape my house is in. I forget to eat some days & that’s really saying a lot. I’ll be watching along the way as this book is turning out so awesome. See you in awhile. Bye for now. Love you, Katherine

Just running into this, SO GOOD! FUN way to make an album. I've been Coptic binding mine and I think this would be a great alternative to try! THANKS for all the extra details.

[@christinedavies336]

You've just started re-appearing in my notifications - which is a good thing. 😊 I am having a HUGE de-clutter throughout the whole of the house - 20 years of hoarding, in readiness for our move - downsizing/retirement. This beautiful album is the perfect inspiration to get it done and will be the perfect reward for getting organised again. I wonder who the recipient will be......

[@teresatrump8366]

Yes Scrap Queen - she is so good. I love mini albums.

[@heathertoms4188]

Awesome tutorial Sam xx

[@lindaknox7725]

Awesome. The best album tutorial I've seen. Thank you 😊

[@leannemitchem8865]

I am spending my Coronacation watching some of your older videos. This album is one of my favourites out there. I made an album with this tutorial. The base of the album was the same but the inside pages were decorated differently. I had a Mikey mouse theme. my friend is obsessed with Mickey Mouse. I was very please with how this turned out. Your tutorial was very easy to follow and your instructions were very clear. I thank you again for sharing this tutorial.

[@browniescrafts2066]

Gorgeous Sam the same as you. Thank you one day I will get time to make it x🙏

[@beenadharmeshpithva1879]

[@oheck5570]

Very thorough instructions Sam. Very clear. Much appreciated.

[@bettyjohnson1365]

I wish I was “the” friend? Hehehe. It’s lovely-everything from the paper to the embellishments....even the construction, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this mini, I learned a new way to do the spine and cover which are much easier.

What a beautiful mini album. I love all the pages and tags. I have the gold foil for over a year and I've never gotten around to using it, but I'm so inspired to use in for my Christmas mini album. Absolutely love all your tutorials, I did the backpack one and because of your clear instructions I was able to make it and I was very pleased. So thank you and please keep the tutorials and project shares coming. Big thumbs up. 😍

Gorgeous!!!!!❤❤❤

[@leilaholland1599]

Love it

[@karengill6214]

I have just worked out when crafters refer to “chipboard” they actually mean a type of cardboard not actually flat wood that has splinters 😂 where I Come from in Australia we just call it heavy card stock or thick cardboard like that of a cardboard 📦 so feel free to have a laugh at my being slow to catch up! 😂 Love your tutorials I enjoy learning from you! Xx

[@createwithkarren5373]

Thanks for the inspiration I love it!

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

THAT is not a MINI album. THAT is a beautiful present for your friend.

[@junebamburg1704]

Beautiful! It’s perfect! Thank you

[@pamrugman1998]

Great video, very easy to follow. I am just starting with albums and boy are they addictive. As you say time consuming but very relaxing. Look forward to seeing the end result in the future.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Pam, I really enjoy making them and I'm currently working on another one which I will be sharing soon. :)

[@pamrugman1998]

Look forward to seeing it. I just managed to find one of these in our local French garden centre 😀 the blue Moroccan one. I tried this foiling on a card I made, it looks great thank you

Thanks hun x

[@ellejayLJ]

Absolutely lovely. Do you have 8x10" size suitable for me to make a Baby's 1st Year album for our new grandson ?

[@Clevercraftychick]

I know this is an older video. But Rosa Kelly scrapbooking channel is a good one too. Just an fyi. 😁

[@creativitymeryem1920]

Gooood is intelligence 👌

[@karamillla4973]

It's realy an art

[@k30gentle]

Wondering, is there a formal you use to figure out the fold'ey spine thingy! ;-) So if I decided to have a 2.5 spine. Or a 2" spine etc.... Rather than the 3" you show here in the video, how do I figure out the hinge piece dimensions? Thanks.

[@mariaargent6888]

Not sure size is right on matting. The white piece is 4 3/4 x 7 The next piece is 4 3/4 6 3/4” but thats the same as the white mount The next bit is 4 x 6 1/4 Should the second piece be 4 1/2 Thank you

[@CraftingWithMrsD]

Thank you for making the idea of making a mini album seem not quite so daunting! Can I please ask what's the best thickness of grey board to use, 1000 or 1500? Thank you x

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you, I use 2mm graybeard, you would have to look online to see how that converts as I don't use the thicknesses you have mentioned. x

[@talishavining2576]

Beautiful I want to make one if I use 5x7 cover size what size should my pages be please let me know this will be my first time making one thanks in advance

[@irmahenman4154]

Beautiful album and I love the gorgeous paper, what is the name of the papers?
