[Barbef59]

I have made two of these for friends and love them. I had to go on ebay to find the Tim Holtz doily die, but it was worth it because that makes the whole mini.

[gemstonesmurf]

I have now made two albums following this :) they are so easy!! Thanks for all the great ideas.

[proudmommy702]

I loved this mini the moment it came into view on the screen. I tried it out and it was easy as you promised. Thanks for sharing this method. Even a novice like me was able to pull it off. Also, where did you purchase the doilie alteration die? I have looked at michaels, joanns, and even the tim holtz web page without success.

[Barbef59]

@proudmommy702 I bought my Tim Holtz doily die on ebay, I couldn't find it anywhere else either, but it makes the whole album!

[proudmommy702]

@Barbef59 Yeah, I found it on ebay. tfs the source. Can't wait to receive it.

[lovepapercrafts]

Awesome idea! So creative. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[agtw12345]

Thank you for being soooo creative! I love the way it works.

[wkuskee]

Thank you! I've done two and one of them is for my sister's adoption which was final this week. I love the binding and that it gives so much space for thickness. I even made tubes out of large paper when I ran out of big envelopes. The possibilities are endless. Thank you again!

[Ammiel7]

I love these albums I have already made 3 of these for friends for Christmas thank you so much, and I have not finished yet! just trying all sorts of envelope shapes right now

[woodie712]

[scrapluvindona]

Been trying to figure out the format for a Disney scrapbook for a friend of mine! Now I have it!! I love you can be guaranteed that I'll be using it lots!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us! You rock!!

[shelldian]

Laura this is genius! I am planning on using it to make a wedding gift for a friend this month, but need to know...is the chipboard cover all one piece still connected, or do you cover it as 3 individual pieces? I don't want to give anything away on an upcoming video you might have in store...but...I also want to get this project underway. I was planning on making an album of some sort for her...but love this idea of all I have seen so far!

[donnagwen62]

Absolutely amazing. This is definitely going to be my next project. Thank you so much for taking the time for such a series during this busy time of year. Really appreciate it, Gwen

[Luv2create1]

Marcie

[tkdgalsamm]

[maureencmathis]

A dislike?!!! A r e. Y o u. K I d d I n g M e. .!!! I don't understand why you haven't publiShed several books on mini album construction, because you have revolutionized the idea. Paper engineer is the right title for you, as an earlier commenter noted. If you did publish a mini album book, it would be just like Stacy julians photo freedom, revolutionary and timeless in the industry!

[pinkscrapper99]

Laura, you are so awesome. Love the binding and the second album!! WOW.

[gazajude]

ahhhh WOW!!!! Love it, this is gonna take me 2 days to complete it, im on tha back foot but im gonna finish it.

[BritanyBurris]

[Sandrishify]

Amazing construction idea! The first one is so gorgeous with Tim's doilie and all the edge punching you did! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[dnecey32]

do you have a video on how to make the chipboard cover and covering it??? please let me know thankx Denise. I love all the things you make very inspiring Im just not very creative lol thankx for sharing :)
