Kathy I love that you share your talent with us. Instead of just showing this creation, you’re sharing the instructions. I have yet to make an album although I keep collecting the materials. I remember scrapbooks and autograph nooks from when I was a kid but I just can’t seem to understand the purpose of today’s albums and journals. It doesn’t stop me from watching all the videos and buying I all the supplies. In the meantime, I love the quarterly kits subscription, One is on the way to me right now. I’m blown away by what you pick into those kits. Thanks 🙏🏽 for ALL you do! ❤
You are such a sweet soul! I'm glad you are enjoying the kits, because I am really enjoying putting them together. As far as mini albums...I don't make them so much for photos. I think of them as art books. Something to take down and enjoy with a cup of tea. Drink in the colors, the story that the album tells, enjoy the beautiful images and just slow down and breathe for a bit. I want to start incorporating more lines of verse and quotes to really make them tell a story, and I may start that process with this album. Thanks so much for sharing your delightful thoughts with me!
Kathy, Thank you for sharing this gorgeous treasure and for supplying links to all of the needed supplies. I ordered using your links which made it so easy and stress free! I will definitely be making this project. The Covid shutdown opened up and whole new crafting world to me via You tube videos. I've been paper crafting mini books and journals for 3 years. Thank you for your very inspiring tutorials!
Hello, Dear Colleen! For some strange reason, this comment just now showed up in my feed. I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your very kind words. I'm so glad to know you are discovering a whole new world of crafting! Yay! I'm tickled to be part of that world, and I thank you for your very kind words. Happy crafting, my friend! Hugs!
@@kathyclementkathybydesign I guess my comments were floating around the internet! lol The purple mist paper you listed finally came back into stock & it arrived last week. I just couldn't settle on using something else. It's so pretty. ❤
@@colleenqueen3915 This happens every once in a while...not sure why, but all of a sudden I'll find a bunch of older comments that seem to have appeared out of nowhere. I'm so glad you found the cardstock. It's crazy how difficult it is to find certain colors now. Have fun making your album! Hugs!
Thank you so much, Brigitte! I am feeling so much better. It's just taking a while for my voice to recover. I hope to be able to film/share another segment by this weekend.
Thank you Kathy for sharing. I have made several mini albums and do construct them as you did. Love the little trick in lining up score lines. Can’t wait to see finishing. Pray you feel better soon. ❤oh! and as always beautiful paper selection 😊
Thanks, Kim...those prayers are working! I'm feeling so much better now. I'm glad that little trick was helpful to you. Parts 2 and 3 are up now, and I'm working on Part 4. This is a big project to share in such detail, but it is gratifying to know my friends are enjoying it!
I do like making my own albums and signature pages, then when I give as gifts the recipient is amazed that I did it.😊 I do use wet adhesive but also use score tape. Glad you are feeling better. Love this paper collection.
Thanks, Lila! Yes, I use a combo of wet/dry adhesives, too. Seems to work best for me. I think we will have fun with this series. Starting to feel better every day now. Just have to get my voice sorted out! More hot tea! LOL Hugs!
google popped this tutorial up for me and I remember watching this channel a while ago. I needed some inspiration and this one is definately full of it.. Now I'm off to amazon to order this collection.. I'll be back.
Hi, Desaree! Thanks for visiting again! If you're interested, I do a free tutorial each week on Wednesday. It's a great way to get inspired. So glad you enjoyed this project!
Kathy, thank you for sharing your amazing crafting talents! I like the way you organize what you will use in your project. I've yet to master that. LOL This paper collection is beyond beautiful and one of my favorites so far. Would love a slice of that sour dough! 😄 Thank you for sharing! Hugs!💚💙
Well, come on by...this batch of sourdough turned out amazing! I'm having so much fun learning this new skill. I'm glad you enjoyed this collection. I confess, I thought of you right away as it is just so whimsical and sweet. I have Parts 2 and 3 up now, and am working on part 4. More fun ahead! Thanks, friend!
Dear Kathy, Your timing is perfect as I'm just getting ready to make my first album base. Thank you for your tutorials. I've been paper-crafting for about 5 years and in everything I make I always see your inspiration!
Well, how about that, Marilyn? I'm so glad that this series is a timely one for you! You'll love making that album, and I hope you'll find lots of ideas you can use in this series. Thanks for the sweet words! xo
I always create my own mini album covers...I like that I can control the size. I used to cut my double sided tape with scissors, then I noticed your technique of tearing along the edge of a stamp block...so much easier! I've learned, the hard way, that you are right about installing the hinges with liquid glue...I've had tape release over time. Though I am a well seasoned album maker, I have learned from this informative, easy to follow and understand video...thank you, Kathy!! I'll be working on 2 albums in the near future...my work will be more efficient as I employ what I have learned from this tutorial. Continue to make yourself well. Looking forward to your next video!
Awww...thanks, Martie! That is such high praise, because I know you are a seasoned album maker, so that blesses my socks off! Parts 2 and 3 of this series are up now, and I'm working on Part 4. Sharing the details of an album like this takes a lot of time.
@@kathyclementkathybydesign Because I have no experience recording videos or of the posting process, all I can say is a big THANK YOU for all your efforts!! One of my grands is a residential summer camp counselor...today I'm making a card to send her way...snails and mushrooms. Talk about creative fun!
I absolutely love making albums! It’s one of my most favorite things to do. I enjoy coming up with different ideas for pages, I especially enjoy going through the final time envisioning the pages completed with the 😊
Hi, Cheryl! I think an album gives us a chance to tell a story on paper, and that's what I love to do the most. Sounds like you have made some wonderful albums! Thanks so much for watching! Hugs!
You would have laughed at me as I was shouting "no Kathy, the spine" at the computer when you almost placed the second cover mat board down instead of the spine. Missing our chats, hope all is well with you.
Ha! Thanks, Cec! Sometimes I can almost hear the shouting on my end! LOL All is well...busy, happy, enjoying our grands and Dale's retirement. He says he's sorry I have to work so hard, but someone has to support his lavish lifestyle. hahaha
