I’m surprised at how fast this goes when you don’t spend time trying to decide which parts of the pages you want to have showing on your final book. This is stress free and makes it faster to completion.
I made it all the way. I wasn’t so sure about the pink piece that was covering all of the beautiful floral on the front cover. But when you added all the little pieces, it came back to life and looked beautiful. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I agree with that - I thought the original floral was too beautiful to cover up (no pun intended). I liked the finished result, but that first sheet could have been use somewhere else - just the process, I guess!
I did make it all the way through - and I absolutely love the album. More than once, I said "oh, no!" only to say a little later, "amazing!" This really was a lesson to me, and very liberating! I have a lot of beautiful patterned papers to cut! 😁
Such a gorgeous album, Maymay!!! I absolutely, LOVE how it turned out!! It was such a "WOW" moment for me at the end!! And yes, I stayed all the way....like always! I do have a tiny tip for you, regarding the paper tearing. I have learned from other channels....If you want white showing, you would tear the paper that's in your right hand, upwards. And if you do not want the white showing, you tear the paper in your right hand, downwards. I hope this makes sense. It works every time. I usually only want the white showing whenever I'm creating vintage journals, using tea dyed paper. Then whenever it's distressed with vintage photo ink, it looks very aged. Thanks for the FUN!! Hugs 💞 Suzy xx
May May, I can not tell you how much this video you did will impact my album making! Oh My! I have sat on the constructed album cover and pages and the pile of designer papers not being able to "commit" with glue what page gets what print. I will cut and arrange them loosely for days revisiting my choices and "sleeping on it" for weeks before affixing them. This is a game changer! Thank you!
I made it all the way! Almost lost me at the tearing of the pink paper, I was yelling “no!” But the end result is fabulous. I absolutely love it! I will definitely be trying this. (I especially like the way the cover ended !)
Yes, I'm shocked as to how this has turned out Maymay! It's gorgeous. I stayed for the entire duration. I'm amazed. Now it's to get the gumption to give it a try. Be well, be safe & TYFS
Sometimes I want to feel like I have a fast project where I can see a finished result and feel super productive. Also, sometimes I’m not feeling as creative from a blank page standpoint but I want to do something creative. This is a great method for those times. There are other times that I really do want to do fussy design stuff. So, this is going to really depends on my mood I think. That said, I’ve been hoarding papers and not using them. I absolutely need to go through and create. This would be a great tool to do that and have lots of results to show. Finally, while some of us spend hours and hours in all the tiny design details, I think that many recipients don’t see all that detail work. So, this kind of method really allows me to create some thing handmade and nice to gift those people who would not understand or be appreciative of all the fussy details. Thanks for continuing to push the envelope! And i made it all the way! Lol
Thanks for your "You get what you get" album idea. I can easily use this on my Brenda albums. I still make about 1 a month along with cards & junk journals. This idea will speed things up. 🥳
I am guilty of stressing over cutting images so much that I now have an embarrassing amount of 12 x 12 papers that I don't use. I make cards for charity and this will let me make sets without the hours of staring at the papers without actually making anything. Thank you MayMay x
I love this album it is awesome and the methodology behind it is very quite simple which is nice but the fact that you said you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit that should be a t-shirt. I made it all the way.
Definitely takes the angst out of deciding where to cut and which side to use. Such a pleasant surprise when you cut and then turn over to see what you got.
This mystery album is absolutely stunning! I am so glad you showed me not to be afraid of 12 x 12 paper. I mostly make greeting cards, but you have inspired me to try making a mystery album.
Wow, just wow. Years ago I would spend hours picking out paper from various packs. Finally I figured out that all the papers in a pack coordinated with each other! I still spent way too long trying to figure it out. Thank you for sharing this with us MayMay. You are so awesome!
I’m loving this technique!! I can get absolutely polarized by deciding what/where to cut beautiful paper….especially Mintay. Thanks for taking the plunge for me and giving me back stress-free crafting!
I made it all the way, Maymay! Your mystery album turned out really pretty. I know I'd love to get it as a gift. 😊 I just recently became one of your 400k this last week and I'm having such a good time with you! Finding lots of inspiration and helpful hints. I'm thinking I might have to make a few (to start) albums for my finished crochet & knitting project photos, pattern tweaks, supply lists and other project info. 🤟💜
I made it all the way!! Watched the replay. I love the mystery cutting!! I have so much cardstock that I need to use - this would be a great way to do that. I think too much about choosing and cutting 12 x 12 papers and images. Thank you Maymay for pushing me outside of my comfort zone and challenging my creativity!! 💕 Beautiful album!!
Not nervous at all! Mintay is so beautiful no matter what part of the paper you use. I just have a hard time cutting it apart, period! I just want to sit and look at the papers! LOL
I have been reviewing your vids and I am SOOOO glad to have found THIS one! I find that "mystery" pages are wonderful! Get a paper pad you like, and BAM! No stress. Truly LOVE this way of scrapping!!
I realize this video was done 2 yrs ago but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I love when you do the blind cutting of your paper. This turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤ 😊 PS I've been making your folios.
Yay! I made it all the way! Love love love your album! I think the Mintay designers are so talented, that it makes the “mystery” part easier! Thanks MayMay!!
This whole concept is game changing. And the pinch on the pockets is worth the price of admission in itself. Love it all. The torn cover is great. I made it all the way.
Love the process! Saves a lot of brain cells for those of us who are perfectionistic! I have done a ton of scrapbooking! Love this so much! I have actually sewn 12x12” paper (2 pages back to back) on three sides leaving a huge pocket at the top. Another tip I have is I have collage pictures developed (usually at Walmart, quite affordable). Then I cut them apart and have room for all sizes of smaller pictures. Seems that would work great for the smaller than 12x12 pages that I usually make. I made it to the end. Love, love, love!
Maymay this is so Beautiful!! I think I can do it. I did the Winter fun folio with you earlier this year and I totally enjoyed it! And boy was it out of my comfort zone! I am first and for most a "TH-cam taught" card maker🙃 and that class just spoke to me. But first I had to get over hoarding paper, never heard of that have ya? I am happy to say the the kit I am now subscribed to has cured me of that fairly well. I started back in 2010 and I have made more this year than ever. Tfs.
OMG Maymay OMG How Stunningly Gorgeous and your total look and showcase share is Breathtaking...Oh I can only image when someone opens this up they'll Ghasp and Give you the look...the look of OMG R U KIDDING ME YOU MADE THIS R 4 ME and the tears will flow!! and Girl They'll never forget and just me watching and you telling I teared up and cried...because as a diehard scrapper I even get attached to any album I create and gift...and It's hard to give it up but thepec= feeling I get with their reaction just makes me feel like a million. I LOVE this Scrapbook and you did one Super Incredible Job It's Magnificent Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU SO ROCK!! Joan Smith
I love this idea. I was so in love with the cards you did. So much I made over 50 cards and made a gift set for my daughter and her mother in law for Mother’s Day. Now they are ready for card giving. I and sooooo do the book as soon as I get my book to decorate.
I'm shocked and amazed. I saw the mystery card video and was blown away. How did you ever think to do it upside-down 🤔. I stress about design paper and cutting it just right. You have opened my eyes.
Have to say I giggled my way through the video. Tearing is one of my favourite techniques and distressing edges and you clearly didn’t feel comfortable! What a fun album🤩💖
I wasn’t worried until you added the pink on the cover. I thought, “Oh no! She covered that beautiful paper!” BUT it turned out beautifully. Be sure to wear some pink, yellow and green on your cruise so that your photos look good on that paper. 😉 🛳
So surprised how pretty this turned out. I would of never thought to do it this way. I always think very hard about what papers to use together. I am going to try this. Thank you for sharing ❤ 😊
I made it all the way. I used the Mintay Tiny Miracles paper pack and made my niece an album for new baby. I love this mystery album making! Thank you so much!
Also, I stayed for the whole duration! Plus I got out my goodies and started making envelopes. I hate making them, so having something entertaining to listen to while I'm working is a plus!
I admit that I had my doubts this would be as successful as it was. When you got to the pink torn piece for the front cover I was screaming inside saying don’t hide that fabulous floral you already had….but the final look is brilliant and you soon forget what is underneath. I do think there are paper packs this will work on beautifully but others it won’t so choosing that initial pad is important even though it’s intended as a mystery.
Such a cute idea. I have paper for three albums. I love the Mintay paper and bought two of each in the patterns I chose. Instead of cutting them all in the same direction, I turned one of each upside down to have four different patterns. Can’t wait to get them finished!
I love this idea ... yes I made it all the way :) The hardest part of any craft for me is deciding what to use so taking away that option looks like a great solution for me.
Best Crafting Tip Ever I had old calendars with images I loved. So I cut blindly postage stamp sizes. OMG it is amazing Faux Postage Stamps and there fabulous. You have to try this it works!!!
You’ve given me a whole new life to use more of my paper & card stock I’ve had hoardered. Lol, I run a women’s shed in Australia & am always looking for inspiration. Thanks for your ideas, they are a breath of fresh air!
I was so stressed! oh my god! But I'm always stressed when cutting 12X12 papers (AND when seeing someone else cut them) but oh my, it turns out to be so BEAUTIFUL! great little project! I really enjoy this :)
Wow! Wow! and Wow! I made it all the way through. I have hoarded so many papers and this is the best solution I have ever seen. This and the cards. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful album! I am going to have to try this because I spend way too much time picking out paper! Oh and I made it all the way! Thanks Maymay!
I always have a hard time to choose paper for a project. This album came out surprisingly beautiful. I might have to try this mystery method too. And I actually like the white border showing on the teared paper. It looks like a shore line to me. And it looks so beautiful.
I’m surprised at how fast this goes when you don’t spend time trying to decide which parts of the pages you want to have showing on your final book. This is stress free and makes it faster to completion.
I stayed for the duration! Minty is the best for mystery ideas....cards and albums. This was beautiful. Loved the paper also!!
I made it all the way. I wasn’t so sure about the pink piece that was covering all of the beautiful floral on the front cover. But when you added all the little pieces, it came back to life and looked beautiful. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I am going to try and make it.
I agree with that - I thought the original floral was too beautiful to cover up (no pun intended). I liked the finished result, but that first sheet could have been use somewhere else - just the process, I guess!
Mintay paper is so well coordinated, I don't think you could go wrong. It's beautiful no matter what.
I did make it all the way through - and I absolutely love the album. More than once, I said "oh, no!" only to say a little later, "amazing!" This really was a lesson to me, and very liberating! I have a lot of beautiful patterned papers to cut! 😁
I am surprised how much I enjoy watching you do mystery projects. Please post lots more!
Such a gorgeous album, Maymay!!! I absolutely, LOVE how it turned out!! It was such a "WOW" moment for me at the end!! And yes, I stayed all the way....like always!

Mintay papers are my absolute FAVORITE!
I’ve been so impressed by this process, both the cards and the album, it’s absolutely beautiful. I think it takes off the pressure.
❤ Maymay!!!!! You are a genius! Your surprise designs are amazingly incredible! Thank you for such a great idea! 💡 ❤❤❤❤
Yes, I'm shocked as to how this has turned out Maymay! It's gorgeous. I stayed for the entire duration. I'm amazed. Now it's to get the gumption to give it a try. Be well, be safe & TYFS

Shocked and absolutely impressed! This may be the answer to my paper hoarding and anxiety. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Inspiring
Nice album. Loved the process.
Thanks for your "You get what you get" album idea. I can easily use this on my Brenda albums. I still make about 1 a month along with cards & junk journals. This idea will speed things up. 🥳
Uh, oh! Maymay is scrapbooking!
Love it, and I made it all the way!
I made it all the way through even though I usually don't make albums. It did me some ideas for family reunions.
I made it all the way it’s beautiful I love it. You are so talented.
I am guilty of stressing over cutting images so much that I now have an embarrassing amount of 12 x 12 papers that I don't use. I make cards for charity and this will let me make sets without the hours of staring at the papers without actually making anything. Thank you MayMay x
I want to give this more than a thumbs up.
Loving how this is turning out. I want to make a mystery album now.
I made it all the way
I love how you made this vacation album, MayMay & I love those Albums too!
I love this album it is awesome and the methodology behind it is very quite simple which is nice but the fact that you said you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit that should be a t-shirt. I made it all the way.
Definitely takes the angst out of deciding where to cut and which side to use. Such a pleasant surprise when you cut and then turn over to see what you got.
I must admit. After the 6” cut I might have looked to see if I wanted the top 8” or the bottom 8”
Given she had some duplicate papers, I expected some to be cut from the bottom and was surprised they weren’t.
This mystery album is absolutely stunning! I am so glad you showed me not to be afraid of 12 x 12 paper. I mostly make greeting cards, but you have inspired me to try making a mystery album.
It turned out awesome!! Let the paper do the work!! Love it!!!!!!!😎😎😎
Good job MayMay. It was fun watching someone else be brave. Lol. I enjoyed watching how beautiful it turned out.
Such a great idea to worry less about cutting all our beautiful papers! And I love the layering on the front cover too!
AWESOME Album! Love it Maymay. Beautiful!
It’s beautiful I love the mystery method...can’t wait to try it.Thankyou!! X
Wow, just wow. Years ago I would spend hours picking out paper from various packs. Finally I figured out that all the papers in a pack coordinated with each other! I still spent way too long trying to figure it out. Thank you for sharing this with us MayMay. You are so awesome!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love it. I would’ve never known. I’m going to learn to be brave like Maymay. Those papers sell the idea. So clever.

Enjoy your cruise!
Made it all the way. I wasn't sure about the pink piece on the cover, but it worked. This album is gorgeous!! Thanks, Maymay.
Yay! I made it all the way! Love love love your album! I think the Mintay designers are so talented, that it makes the “mystery” part easier! Thanks MayMay!!
Shocked how well it’s turning out. It’s the great paper pack and the more solid options.
May may made it all the way. I just know no matter if you have a plan or not, whatever you are working on is going to turn out GREAT!!!!!!
Made it! Love the freedom and flow. The older I get the more I like to go with creative flow.
That’s pretty but I can’t believe you actually tore it. Brenda will be so proud of you!
This whole concept is game changing. And the pinch on the pockets is worth the price of admission in itself. Love it all. The torn cover is great. I made it all the way.

At the end! Simply amazing ❤️ Who would have thought? A must try. I struggle with paper placements. This takes all the guessing out. Gorgeous!

OMG, I can't wait to try this with my papers. I often don't create anything because I become too overwhelmed with choices! Thank you for this idea!
So gorgeous, thank you for sharing this, I may give an album a go. Your front cover is amazing! 🥰♥️♥️🇦🇺
I love this idea Maymay. It takes away so much anxiety. You're a genius!
I made it all the way! I love this idea of a mystery album/cards. You can’t go wrong with such beautiful paper!
OMG Maymay OMG How Stunningly Gorgeous and your total look and showcase share is Breathtaking...Oh I can only image when someone opens this up they'll Ghasp and Give you the look...the look of OMG R U KIDDING ME YOU MADE THIS R 4 ME and the tears will flow!! and Girl They'll never forget and just me watching and you telling I teared up and cried...because as a diehard scrapper I even get attached to any album I create and gift...and It's hard to give it up but thepec= feeling I get with their reaction just makes me feel like a million.

What a totally neat technique! Takes the thinking about the designs right out of the quotient.
Have to say I giggled my way through the video. Tearing is one of my favourite techniques and distressing edges and you clearly didn’t feel comfortable! What a fun album🤩💖
Made it to the end. Love how this turned out and agree, the mystery process did all the work! Beautiful...enjoy your trip😊

I made it all the way. Very pretty!!!! I loved the pink and yellow together-don’t think I would have chosen those colors but they work!
Wow you always make it look so easy. Turned out beautiful and what a wonderful theme for vacation!!
I made it all the way. I used the Mintay Tiny Miracles paper pack and made my niece an album for new baby. I love this mystery album making! Thank you so much!
Shock and awe!!!! This is so impressive. Please Please do more of these albums.!
Wow. I was glued to the screen, the whole time. Shocked when it was over. I am going to give this a try for sure!! Brilliant!!
I made it all the way! Now the fun begins with decorating & embellishing this mini album! Thanks for the video!
Also, I stayed for the whole duration! Plus I got out my goodies and started making envelopes. I hate making them, so having something entertaining to listen to while I'm working is a plus!
I made it all the way. I'm a cardmaker but this was fun to watch and you're so right about the time we spend on decisions! 🏴
I made it all the way and I LOVED it! What a beautiful album and how fun! TFS this process.
I made it all the way! I was not at all nervous...until you started tearing the paper! But I loved the way the cover and the whole album turned out!
I made it all the way. What a beautiful album and such a neat idea. Like you said, you don’t get stressed. 🥰🥰🥰
I saw your mystery card video first, so I was excited to see how the album turned out! Those papers are absolutely beautiful! I made it all the way.
Beautiful album ty you for everything you do for us. Happy crafting have a wonderful night

Yep I made it all the way. And I NEVER would have thought of this. What a great idea. Stress less!
I made it all the way! So pretty! Unique way to attack a big project like this!
Hi Maymay. I made it all the way and am I glad I did. That album is GORGEOUS ♥️♥️
LOVE this paper collection and your folio album is gorgeous!!!!
Best Crafting Tip Ever I had old calendars with images I loved. So I cut blindly postage stamp sizes. OMG it is amazing Faux Postage Stamps and there fabulous. You have to try this it works!!!
I made it all the way. I surprised myself by loving it! Good job Maymay!
You’ve given me a whole new life to use more of my paper & card stock I’ve had hoardered. Lol, I run a women’s shed in Australia & am always looking for inspiration. Thanks for your ideas, they are a breath of fresh air!
I was so stressed! oh my god! But I'm always stressed when cutting 12X12 papers (AND when seeing someone else cut them) but oh my, it turns out to be so BEAUTIFUL! great little project! I really enjoy this :)
May may. Love this. I bought this paper awhile back. Love it. Very beautiful album. Thank you
Wow! Wow! and Wow! I made it all the way through. I have hoarded so many papers and this is the best solution I have ever seen. This and the cards. Thank you so much.
I am shocked at how beautiful the mystery made this album ❤
What a beautiful album! I am going to have to try this because I spend way too much time picking out paper! Oh and I made it all the way! Thanks Maymay!
Hello Maymay
I made it all the way.
When you started the cover I really thought you were going to ruin it.
After you finished it, I liked it❣️
I made it all the way! Very cute album Maymay! 😍 I’ve never done albums but now I feel like I have to do at least one!! 😄
I made it all the way ( replay ) have to order the album then I am going head first. Hopefully I remember to breathe. Happy Birthday Vinnie.
I made it all the way. I've been watching you do folios and I'm liking them more and more. This is my favorite so far.
I always have a hard time to choose paper for a project. This album came out surprisingly beautiful. I might have to try this mystery method too. And I actually like the white border showing on the teared paper. It looks like a shore line to me. And it looks so beautiful.
