Hi everyone…
Today we start the last page in our mini album and we’ll work on binding. I had a lot of fun working on this mini and reading all your comments. Such sweet comments.
Later tonight I will do a post that will list all of the videos in one post and then tomorrow we’ll post for those that made a mini album or who worked on the 12 month scrapbook challenge for March to link their projects…Maybe we’ll even have a little giveaway too…
Now on to the last video in the series….
Have a great Monday
Hugs and happy crafting,
YAY! Now I know how to bind my album. Thanks for all the detail you showed us in the series. I am slowly working on my first “from scratch” mini, and it is coming along nicely, thanks to you and your tutorials.I hope I can get further along with it this week and figure out how to post it here. Could you do a Q&A answer session next relating to questions you received during this series?Also, do you have a Cricut cartridge wish list? What is the next new cartridge you plan to get? Thanks again for a great blog!Rhonda H
Thanks so much Christina. This series has been absolutely great! I learned so much not just about making the album but about your creative process as well. hugs, eileen
The album is wonderful. Another great job. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the mini looks awesome, thanks i got lots of ideas for my next mini.
Christina -another great video series!!!I love all the little tips and techniques you share – I'm on my way to a scrapbooking retreat with friends and i have 5 mini-word-albums to make for an upcoming trip to Tybee Island, GA – I will be using a lot of your tips so thanks!!!jackie
Christina, I have loved this video series! I think I'm going to tackle making one of these cute albums in a baby boy theme for my friend who is due in May. It's so darn cute!!!
Christina, I have been out of town on Spring Break and just finished watching all of the series. Thanks for sharing start to finish ~ so cute! This will be a great keepsake, and we all learned some great techniques!Thanks, againSusan
great mini album Chrsitina! I love the way it turned out! I struggle with making a layout without the pictures first. Do the Cinch wires work on the BIA? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!esigmon at cox dot net
This is why I come here….I learn something new every time…..I didn't know about the side holder on the cinch…..thank you so much….
Thanks for this tut. I find that I start making mini's with gusto, but then 1/2 way through I lose inspiration and it sits. I picked up some cute ideas here
The mini album is gorgeous. I love it. Love the collection you used. Thanks for sharing. Your steps are so easy to follow.
I loved this mini album series. I have never thought about doing one of these until now. I enjoy all the details you showed especially about the cinch! I was not sure the bind it all product would work in the cinch now I know it does. Thanks so much for inspiring me to go outside my comfort zone.
Awesome as usual! Thanks for the great ideas and techniques. Don't forget to reload your ATG!!!
OMG awsome mini I have never done on but I think I will try it,it's soo cute thanks for shareing.
Thank you so much…I am in the middle of a 6.6 mini book on a swap challenge and you had many, cute ideas. I waited for today to see the Cinch as I just bought it. My album is THICK over 20 pages so that will be fun to bind. Thanks for your hard work..liked all the ideasSugarsherriKaty, X
Christina thank you so much for doing this series I have really enjoyed watching it great job!
Great job Christina – such a cute book! May I offer a tip that I learned? When setting up your pages for binding, put all your pages in order, then take the back page and bring it to the front, then put them on the wire to bind. That way the closing of the binding is at the back page instead of the font. I think it makes it lay better also. I appreciate you doing these videos – it really does help seeing it done. Thanks again!!
Hi Christina, great job on the album, I finally got Ethan's B-day card in the mail. check it out it is on its way. I really liked that pirate series you did. TFShttp://dianamlarson.blogspot.com/2011/03/monday_21.html
Great series! I love your choice of papers etc.! It inspires me to go out and buy a Cinch. Thanks!
I love seeing what you did from start to finish. What a great help it has been to see all the little details unfold. Thank you so much–your videos are GREAT–you are a A+ teacher. 🙂
It is so cute! I'm working on a Disney scrapbook right now or I would be starting one of my own! Keep up the good work!
That album is so cute! You did a great job of teaching new techniques. Loved learning about the Cinch. Thanks
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful little book! I just got a cinch and I am so ready to make a project. Thanks for the wonderful videos, loved them! I have also talked to my daughter's teacher about making something for each student as an end of the year project. We are so excited! Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Thanks Christina for sharing you know how on how to create a mini and bind it. I enjoy you video series. TFS Susan
amazing mini album series!!! Loved it!!! thanks so much for doing it!!!
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed it? I LOVED it! I just became a great aunt 1 week ago today. So I put in my order for the pictures I want so that I can make my first mini album to give to my Mom. (This is her first great grandbaby) I'd have never known how to do it if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much! I can hardly wait to start my own album. You and your videos are amazing!ThanksSherryneedingJesusdaily@hotmail.com
Loved this series. Although I love them all, this one is my favorite. I think because although you use the Cricut for some of the cuts, they aren't things we can only do if we have that cartridge. I don't have a lot of carts, so sometimes I have to figure out other ways to do things and this book is very easy to do that with. I haven't made a book yet, but I'm hoping to get to it soon.Thanks so much for this fabulous series, all the great ideas, tips and techniques!
Thanks so much. That was a great series. Now I wish I had a Cinch though, darn it! Cute, cute little mini.
this is great!!! good work!
ChristinaThanks for the lessons on the mini album. Now I now how to start, and look at my items and paper.This really helped alot.Lydia
Christina, this was a great project. Lots of great ideas that make me think this is possible to do. It is wonderful how you share your creative spirit.
Christina, thanks so much for sharing! this mini is gorgeous and I plan to make one up for my grandson – I am truly inspired by your work… happy scrapping
Yep, you're amazing and so are your videos.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!This was my first completed mini, I have tried a page or two before but never knew what to do to make it more interesting this series was AWESOME!! Your ideas and tips helped so much. I am so in love with my mini!!! I used most of your techniques when I could and finally used my webster's pages 6X6 paper collection I had for a year!! Its elegant and simple yet full of interactive elements thanks to you!I just bought the cinch and was feeling guilty for caving in last week because I have a bind it all (not easy to use and don't like the hole's either) but when I saw you use it I felt so happy for having pruchased it. I can't bind my mini until it comes in but thanks to you I know how!((Big Big NJ HUGS))-christineYour the sweetest!!!! Thank you soooo much!! 🙂
Awesome mini book. You are so inspiring.Brenda
Christina, which binder do you prefer? Cinch or Zutter and if you don't mind sharing why you prefer one over the other. I thinking about purchasing one.
Wow I am so ready I want to make one of these and probably lots more. Im going to CK scrapbook convention this weekend and hope maybe to find the cinch if not then I have looked for the best deal online stores and will order. I have been looking at some of my supplies. I love the videos you did for this as I had no idea what to do and really helped to see your thought process. I am a visual learner and you helped me so much Thanks for the time you took to do this. I really appreciate it and am so inspired. Hugs to you.
This have been a FUN FUN FUN series… Tnks so much Christine ~ I have said this 1000 times but i will say it again tnks for showing us step by step directions.
Wow this turned out fantastic!!! Great job Christina and I so LOVED this series! I would love to see pictures of this once you have added the photos and journaling!
Wow! That was such a great series, I learned so much from watching! Can't wait to make a mini of my own :)Sheri
Oh Christina your mini came out so FUN and cute! I have to try my Cinch one of these days! The shaped albums I have been doing is just not conducive to that type of binding yet! Ugh….soon!!!Also, I had heard that you really can't bind 3/4″ rings with the Cinch…is that true? Have you tried that size binding yet?
I learned so much from this series. Very cool techniques. I looked forward to seeing them everytime! Thanks so much for sharing!
I just finished watching your series on the mini album. Thank you so much for posting this! I am going to attempt my first mini album now with the intention of giving it to a friend for Chrismans. Wish me luck! 🙂
