Wow! I don't think I've seen such a beautiful album - you have taken so much care and thought to create it. Joyce must have been over the moon to have received this. I'm sure it is treasured and loved. Thank you for sharing this.

[theteacherlady62]

Oh...this is a beautiful album. I am blown away with your thoughts and your grad admiration for Joyce. It shows in your work. She will be so thrilled with this. I just finished looking at all of her albums. She definitely fits the princess category. A most truthful description of a lovely, lovely person. Laura...your work is amazing.

[vancore714]

love this mini

[1MichelleJoy]

i LOVE THIS!!!!!! i love it i love it i love it!!!! great job i love all the little detailing!

[Mimi2six4]

I love this mimi book! It is honestly the best one I've seen. All of the hidden pull outs and journaling areas are so darn creative. I would so like to see a class or tutorial for constructing one of these, I would pay with no problem. Please let me know if you ever offer a class. I can imagine a marriage book similar to this or a 1st year baby book, wow, what a gift! Thanks for sharing, Joyce will be so blessed!

[yaimarip]

This mini is amazing. A lot of detail.

[Oneofhis2]

[softdrea]

I have to say. You are by far my favorite mini album maker. You are so talented. You truly have a gift. I enjoy every video. Thank you so much for giving me endless inspiration. I wish I had your gift.

Sincerely

Andrea

[mazzystar101112]

I LOVE your work. I was hoping to leave some constructive criticism - and it may only be MY pet peeve: I wish you would talk about techniques, inspiration, ideas & process a bit more. for example, whenever you are tempted to say "and there is more room for pictures or journaling" with every tag and page maybe you could instead fill the space with a teaching point, funny story or insight to why you picked certain stamps/embellies. etc.

[Steffogal1]

Thanks for super sweet comments! :) I will try to talk more about techniques, etc.. I'm usually rushing and just trying to quickly show it ~~ crazy busy with kids! :) ta-hee!!

Would love to see some of your beautiful creations too!! share share !!:) Happy scrapping!

with a grin,

steffogal1
