Also, i just love that you always share easy hacks that encourage viewers to not run out and buy expensive equipment. You're a true teacher.

[@camiliacarrero6480]

She is!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you SO much!!!

[@debm460]

Wonderful teacher! Lots of treasure in them recycling bin.

[@dollyalice7141]

@@TreasureBooks finding your channel has been lifechanging. I have always loved papercrafts but i never knew what kinds of glue to use for what and got incredibly frustrated by gluesticks and mod podge. I have been making so much stuff, and next month I will be doing my first craft fair booth! ⭐

[@julieanneworth9886]

This is such a fabulous interactive album and would be such fun to create.❤

[@miriambickley4061]

I am your oldest fan...84...never too old to learn! I knew when I saw this little book, I had to make it! I used your video directions, stopping and starting, rewinding! I just completed the basic book, now to embellish! It is not as perfect as yours but I love it. God bless you and your family!

[@dsneymom]

I’m 70, and did the exact same thing! I made the whole thing from black and white paper. Will use color in the decorating. Loved this!

[@huntersun9]

You don't give yourself enough credit as a wonderful teacher! The preparation you went through was well worth the result and not confusing. This is a beautiful album. I love that you showed your prototype at the end too, because it encourages me to play and maybe design my own album. Thank you!

[@kathrynrudolph5121]

This is brilliant!! I'm LOVING your spoken directions as you follow the written ones. I never fail to learn from your videos. Thank you so very much!

[@TreasureBooks]

I'm so glad! Thank you :)

[@t.hansen8162]

You turned what seemed to me at the beginning of the video to be a complicated project, into a simple and easy-to-follow process. Brilliant! I just felt my mojo return and I can't wait to make this. Thank you for everything you share with us💜

[@TreasureBooks]

I'm so glad! Thank you :)

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Or can cut 12 x 12 papers into quarters....to get 4 definitely matching pages, then another set etc, to create a collection of matching pages. They may not match each other in that sense, but you can add them 1, 2, 3, 4 and repeat throughout the book....one from each set (12 x 12) I probably made that sound far more complicated than I mean! 🙄 Cute book and I love all the hidey holes! The more the merrier IMO! I love all the variations of pockets, flaps, flips etc. 😘😘😘

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes, definitely 😊 I spoke about that in the video actually

[@carollaurion6810]

You are one of the best teachers I have ever had. I am 57 years old. This was such a satisfying project! It does end up making sense!

[@TreasureBooks]

Wow, thank you!

[@suearcher8708]

Natasha, thank you for this tutorial! I have been planning to craft an art journal for my three year old grand-daughter. This mini album with a few tweaks will work. I know that three is a bit young, but, my aim is to supply her with tools to learn and enjoy making marks on paper and beyond. Her folks have agreed to take photos of her making art, printing them out, helping her glue the art piece and photo to a page, and then do the journaling about the day and the project. Any other ideas and tips would be welcome! And, hey, if she doesn't like it, I will try again in a couple of years and hope for the best.

[@nellmagnera8593]

Sue Archer, I love your art journal idea. My youngest granddaughter just turned 10 but she is very creative and loves to draw. I would love to borrow your idea. And my sister has 6 young granddaughters who also are all creative. I always do a little something for them at Christmas and this is wonderful. Love and hugs.

[@teresazuehls4163]

Love your mini album and the video was excellent. Also love how you write out the directions too. Thank you for sharing your talents and projects with us.😊❤

[@lesleywalker-kb4tc]

Very well explained and I really like the design of your album you spoke really well and were really easy to understand thank you very much😊

[@carmencollins8178]

Oh My Goodness. This is fantastic, awesome and just what I need to use up 20 years of collecting 6x6 paper pads. Sunday sorted. Thank you 😃

[@Lunareon]

That endless hinging idea is brilliant! I have been thinking about turning my journals into a format, where each spread is made separately and attached to the previous one, so the journal gradually grows thicker and thicker. This hinging technique could work well for that purpose. As always, thank you for the inspiration!

[@TreasureBooks]

That's a great idea!

[@maryrasnick7642]

Very much worth the effort. Especially thought it was helpful to include the instructions for us to screenshot! I can think of so many themes to use this book for and will be sharing to a group of ladies at a quilting retreat so that they can make a memory book of this event using their photos! ❤

[@sylviak9808]

Wow, you did it again! This is absolutely fabulous! I LOVE it! A wonderful gift idea. With your detailed instructions in this video I do not feel confused at all and I am looking forward to make a mini album myself. You are amazingly gifted coming up with all these ideas all the time. And the most amazing thing? You share them with us for free. Thank you so very much!

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@TubeYouLena]

I loved the little song (‘here comes the glue again’). Do it again. 😊And of course, I love the project itself of making the basis. And the demonstration is super clear for me. I am now motivated to make several such books as cute additions to my Christmas or BD gifts. And I am curious how much time it will take me to produce one of such books once I am fluent with the process. I will add the record of timing for each step on the cheat sheet. I’ll start my practice with thick magazine pages/covers I painted over in one color (with just regular interior paint from a construction store). This is going to be cool, I am sure. Glue stick applied over double-sided tape to be able to maneuver it for a short time is an excellent tip, thank you for all such tips and ideas about alternatives you share.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much for watching and good luck with the project! I hope you enjoy it :)

[@martistarnes9062]

LOVE this!!!! I have a few 6x6 paper pads and that s such a great idea!! Loved your little brief singing in the middle. You are so much fun to watch and so inspiring!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Yes loved this tutorial, plus it will help me de stash those pads I don’t like. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣👍🏾🥰🤩 Thank you, Natasha!! 💜

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome!

[@tinabrown3166]

You never cease to amaze me. Thank you 💖

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@sandraford3355]

Love this little journal. Your instructions are great, but I’m sure I’ll have to watch again as I make it. 😊

[@barbarasimmons5777]

OMG, Natasha! I've made 4 of these, and have plans for 3 more. I LOVE these!!! Thank you again! 😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Great job! Thank you Barbara!

[@ritafadams]

A great little mini album with the 6x6 paper! thanks for sharing!

[@DawnDevine]

I just want to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You are an inspiration and I love your taste and style. Thank you so very much!.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Dawn :)

[@TimelessTreasuresByV]

What a great idea, and great tutorial. Thank you! My head is spinning with ideas now of how I would use this :)

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful!

[@janetphelps6879]

I'm late to the party; don't know how I missed this one. The book is amazing and the instructions are very clear. The visual does show its not so complicated as it might appear. Thank you for sharing your creations and wit along the way.😊

[@nancynorris9822]

What a cute little journal! You are so easy to listen to and you do so well teaching us. TFS🤗

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@ladyanne56]

I am seeing this 10 months later but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this type of tutorial. I love watching the junk journal creations but this little folio is an essential refresher for simple papercrafting . Thank you so much for sharing your passion for paper ! I watch many past videos with the same zeal as the newer versions❤

[@suzyallen1726]

I am so happy you did this video. I got a large bagl of 6x6 craft sheets at the thrift store. I was looking through my ephemera to make a tab closure book for my granddaughter and I really didnt think she would appreciate the old ads etc. Then you reminded me of this 6x6 that are colorful and whimsical. Perfect. I found this a little confusing but I think you demonstrated so well. I'll have to watch again and again to get it but it will be worth it. I'm 68 and can't believe I dont know how to take a screen shot and I'd need a printer to have a hard copy hard to read on telephone but I'll make do. Thanks so much. She can use for her art and I'll include stickers in some of the pockets.

[@thecastiglias9371]

I absolutely LOVE this! Nice job on the directions. I really like that you gave written notes to go along with your lovely voiced directions! Thank you for sharing your creativity! ❤️❤️❤️

[@crysrupp]

I found this video yesterday, and just had to make one today for my 7 year old grand daughter. She loves it. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

[@reneebarger5194]

Oh this would be a better format for my 5 yr old granddaughter’s fairy book. Thank you so much for working this all out for us lovey. We can add little pockets & flips for fairies & nomes to peek out of. On this heavier paper, it will hold up better in her backpack. Sweet!

[@barbarasimmons5777]

Can't stop making these!!!!!

[@shellyingle8627]

I always enjoy your videos. You are very easy to follow and your dialogue is concise and clear. Thank you for sharing what you love! I also loved “here comes the glue”. Your so cute! 🎵🎶

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you very much!

[@donnaham1958]

I love this. I found a book of 50 sheets 12x12 double-sided signature paper on sale at Walmart for $5.88! What a bargain. Such beautiful designs and perfect for this project. Your tutorials are awesome and so easy to follow. I can’t wait to start this.

[@wonderwend1]

Phew. I had you on 0.75 speed, plus pausing and managed to craft along with you!

[@ruthh.935]

Fun journal to build and decorate. The opportunity to take a screen shot of the instructions was very helpful.

[@shirleylucas1479]

After a few hiccups I love our little bookie journal. I say Our because I could not for the life of me after watching the first three pages over yes, 5 times I asked Hubby for help. So, today after work we became a crafting team. I ran the video and stopped when he needed it. Let me explain about the first three pages. I did not know if glue was being put on page 2 or 3 hinge that was completely glued down. If it had been said to glue or not glue the hinge I would have been ok, but that had me messed up not knowing if it should have been glued. However, that we got passed it and now I understand. Sooo, hubby and I are going to each make another one together but each doing our own. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tutorial and bringing hubby into my craft world. ❤

[@bevhampton4527]

Natasha, I have been watching all kinds of journal/book making videos for weeks and today I saw this one and happened to have a 6" pad on my table so I said to myself JUST DO IT! I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to rewind many times but I did it! I have to do the embellishing still but I am so happy with what I did get done this afternoon. Thank you for this!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Great job Bev! 💪💪💪

[@cynthiacooke9785]

Thank you love it. Will try. House bound 82 year old. Something new to try. In Canada Manitoba.

[@05grandkids]

Very cute journal. Love how you explain and show your process so well. Thank you. 💕

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@sylvietoussaint7839]

Thank you very much for this tuto. It s a pleasure for me to listen your clear explications (and read) in English. I am French woman and I can perfect this language. I wish you a nice day. At soon.

[@lindapeterson5810]

I'm going to enjoy trying this out! Might pass it on to my sister-in-law, who is a teacher.

[@candyshank8046]

You bless me with your sweetness and of course your talent!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@susanpevay8636]

Love, love, love this project. You gave the basics of construction, and this leaves the door open for endless possibilities! Thank you!

[@dianemarsh6595]

You are amazing. I love your your voice, could listen to you all day. Also, thank you for for being so thorough and sharing the little tips. Can’t wait to make this album.

[@stamprsue]

Another fun mini album! I will be making this mini album. thank you for showing all the ideas for this mini album!

[@janetisbrandt5735]

Thank you so much for all your time with doing this for all!! This is great and writing all the notes with this is wonderful!!

[@pauliree]

As usual your instructions are very precise and clear so that even I can follow along. It's not your fault my creations always end up so uneven. Thanks for this, it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryortiz4783]

I love all the journals that you have made thank you for doing this. You give us hope

[@corrinebyers7580]

I loved this project. I made quite a few back in 2020 when i first came upon it. Series of health events interrupted my adventure with these books. I really like the 49 & Market papers. I usually get the 6x8 packs and is quite heavy cardstock and is double-sided. Today, here in U.S.A., i made this book using that paper and just have had a wonderful afternoon of play. Even though paper is heavy, it did not crack. Thank you for sharing.

[@mirjamtuinder1486]

Natasa I’m such a huge fan of yours. How DO you come up with all these amazing projects! Folds and flips and pages here and there and you make it into such a lovely album! Your explanation in the video combined with the clear written instructions make it super easy to follow and I can’t wait to do it myself following your steps and having fun doing so! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!

[@heathersullivan8494]

As always you are a wonderful teacher. I love that you actually took the time to write out all the instructions. I think if I just followed along with you one time, that I could put a few together after that. Thanks for this great idea.

[@darleneboehm9666]

Thank you. This is so timely because I was going to look for what to do with my 6x6 pages today. I can’t wait to make one!

[@lindaww2425]

Thank you so much for the written instructions as well as your great tutorial! You are the best !

[@elizcornercreations]

I just love ❤️ this journal! Thanks for the instructions too!

[@aprilcarter749]

Super cute mini album love how it’s constructed with the added hinge’s & different pockets. Don’t use my 6x6 pads much but you just helped me to use them now 😊. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕

[@susansheartstrings]

Love your album! Great tutorial! Excited to make some! Thank you! Hugs 💕💕💕

So adorable!!!!! It will be perfect to go in a journal or great as a stand alone too. I love how it turned out!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@AnneManley]

My goodness, but this stressed me out! NOT because of you, but simply because of my being 'afraid' of 'getting it wrong'. In the end I was SO happy with my mini album! Your instructions were impeccable and your voice is so gentle throughout. You are very encouraging. I cannot wait to make another one! Actually, I cannot wait to embellish this first 'sample'! Thank you SO much for a very entertaining and informative video. 🥰❣❤

[@fionawalker8295]

Fantastic little journal, you never cease to amaze me with all your ideas thank you for sharing.

You are an amazingly creative teacher!! This is such a great little journal, and you made it doable for all of us! I'm waiting to get my hair cut as I watch this, but I'm tempted to cancel and go home and "play" in my craft room instead! Thank you for all the inspiration you give us!

[@linaleblanc8288]

❤❤❤😊...I love all the fold outs and flip downs. Also love the tags sticking out to be visible. I have all kinds of things sticking out, little tags on twine hanging down. I love that kind of stuff

[@marcyaustin9803]

I absolutely love this tutorial. I followed it and made my book. This was so much fun. I love your videos!! ❤

[@SicaLynn29]

I was gifted some 6x6 pads that really aren't my taste and NOW I know just what to do with them! Thank you so much for this!

I am most certainly going to be making some of these! I can’t resist cute 6x6 paper pads on sale and I think this makes a great gift size. Thank you for the clear directions and I love getting the screen shots at the end.

[@knittingsister]

Thank you! You always have such good ideas and your sheets make it so easy to follow, not to mention your voice is pleasant. I just finished my mini album and will decorate it as I go through my collection. I thinkI will make some version for a lot of my art journals just for extra space. I did not realize how much I missed making mini albums. Boy have I collected a lot of 6x6 pads in the last 40 years LOL.

[@wyndavidson3386]

Wonderful, thoroughly enjoyed this and will definitely try it - thank you, instructions are clear and easy to follow
