You are amazing. I watch all of your tutorials. I love that paper set but can’t get it here in Australia. So … I’m going to make this as my Mum’s memory book. Thank you so much. You’re awesome. ♥️

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! This would be a lovely book in different papers, and that’s a great way to use it! 🤗

Michelle, first of all you did a great job. I followed you with no problem. Second I finished mine and showed my husband and he can't wait to do stuff each month and put pictures in the album. I love it.... Thank you so much and I can't wait to do the next 6 months....

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

That makes me so happy! I’m so glad you liked it! 🥰

I really love this paper, I enjoy watching your videos you explain very well and easy to follow along. My daughter said we are a family of hoarders!

[@leslievaughanmorton8374]

Love it. Can’t wait to make mine. I watched the video first and now I’m ready. Tutorial was great. You explained everything in such detail. Thanks

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you! I really appreciate that! Have fun with it!

I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you!

[@joannsanders242]

I just finished watching the tutorial and I absolutely love this. I especially love that there are no hinges!! I took a lot of notes and am ready to start cutting. Thank you for making a large album. So many make folios now, and I am not a fan of those. And……do you know what would be fabulous? A box to hold both books since it’s a year album. You know, like a magazine holder file. I could make it if I knew the sizes, but I would never be able to figure it out. Lol. I know you’re probably over it by now though! But thanks again! We appreciate all your time and effort!!

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you for the kind comments! I really appreciate it...I thought about a box to put them in, I just haven't gotten around to even trying to design that yet. Stay tuned for the second volume...I will be posting that tutorial on October 10th!

This is amazing, I can’t believe the amount of time and effort you put into these!

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you so much! Yes, these are quite a lot of work! But the results are fantastic!

Hi Michelle!! You are sooo my fav designer. As I said before, I love how you can laugh at yourself. You mentioned you were nervous a couple of times, this is encouraging as I get that way, and I'm no where seasoned as you are. I do have a question- I seen you have a glue bottle holder, I also have one I use when creating, what is on the bottom of yours? The yellow? I am now also using the guaze for glue clean up, thanks for the idea. Hope your doing well, I've been awaiting your next project, so I came back to this and have been working on it, but as a school book for my grandson's stuff throughout his 12 years. Im guessing your busy doing round 2 of the year, and hosting all your Halloween stuff, since you said you guys love it so much. Thanks for all you do. God bless ♡♡

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Hello! Thanks for the words of encouragement. This project is important to me as it’s the subscription box and I take it super seriously. I don’t want to mess it up! I have the second volume coming to KZbin on October 10th. That has kept me busy. I’m recording a tutorial today and have more in the works. Halloween has kept me busy. We are going to be hosting a get together and are also going to be have the grandkids over! Then there’s work. L😂L. Never enough time. To answer the question, it’s a cut down sponge in the bottom of the holder. I get it wet when using it. It rinses out beautifully. When I’m not crafty I take the bottle out as use the pin but have forgotten to do that a couple of times and my glue stayed perfectly usable. Thank goodness I found this idea! It has saved me! I hope you have a great day!🤗

[@camidavis1098]

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 thank you, I'll get a sponge ready. Great idea. Happy Fall ♡♡

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

I think I would put the strip along the top of the pocket and then round the corners

Hi Micelle I love your tutotial. Just to bad I cant get the subscription box or papers in South Africa. Can I build the pages on the pocket of the base page before I attatch it to the page? Hope it makes sense. Thank you for a stunning tutorial.

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Thank you so much for watching. I wish you could get those papers in South Africa...maybe someday. Yes, absolutely you can build the page on the pocket first, that wouldn't be a problem at all. Just be careful with the bulk that would be added to the pocket to get it nice and straight. That would be the only thing I would worry about. Take care, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial.

[@terrihead3581]

Would these papers still be available anywhere? I looked on the link you have up but didn't see them. Thank you so showing us how to make this amazing book!

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

@@terrihead3581 Try this link, I just checked and individual papers are there. www.countrycraftcreations.com/collections/country-craft-creations#cd9f/mobile/m=and&p=3&q=remember+the+time. The kits won’t be available as that is a past kit but you could buy the papers.

[@soniarice5859]

Wonderful project……. How many sheets of black card stock is used in this project please. I just want to get them all at same time from same colour batch so there is no variation. Thank you.

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

I used a brown cardstock in this tutorial but black would certainly work as well. I used almost a full 25 sheet pack plus about 6 pages of natural. The Artisan cardstock was from Country Craft Creations at countrycraftcreations.com.

Beautiful album! I’m having a hard time finding the PDF in the Facebook page.

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

It is in the files section of the Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations Facebook page

Hmm. I’m joined in the CCC.com and CCC social cafe pages but cannot find Scrappers of CCC Facebook page

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

You should be able to search for Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations. It’s a separate group. You will have to join it.

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 that page does not come up at all, that’s strange, right?

Can you purchase the paper without subscribing?

Yes. It will be available after August 30th.

[@jessicachamps3949]

do I have to be a member of the Facebook group in order to order this subscription from the website? when I click your link it takes me to the country Craft website but does not have the subscription for sale? how do I purchase?

[@jessicachamps3949]

TIA!

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

You don’t need to be a part of the Facebook group for the subscription. Go to countrycraftcreations.com and look in the drop down menu under Specials and Preorders. It’s in there under Craftology Box

[@jessicachamps3949]

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 I took a screenshot(but don't know how to show it to you), it says " 404, page not found" & tells me to try looking under the homepage and it gives me a link back to the homepage I tried getting there several different ways but that's what it's been saying I just tried it again with your link must be something with my settings I guess I've never had this problem before ☹️ I really want to buy this! lol

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Jessica I am asking about that. When I posted that link it worked perfectly but today it doesn’t. The next box isn’t going to be mailed until October so that may be why. As soon as I have info I will let you know. I do know that the papers will be on sale without a subscription in August 30th. I’m really sorry for the confusion.

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

That page is temporarily down because the August box has shipped and the next one will not be sent until October. They will have the new page up soon. Please keep checking. Again, so very sorry for the inconvenience.
