Marion's Shabby Chic Mini Album

[Katiecuz]

This Album is Beautiful! Thanks for being sooooooo inspiring!

[paprluvr]

Love the album. It's vintage grunge without being to flowery. You don't see those sliding tags too often. I love the double slider tags. I think there are a few youtube videos with the technique called "double slider" card, that is applied to scrapbooking. Thanks for sharing. I marked the video so I can look at it later.

Marion, this mini album is 6x6 right? But, in the video it's like rectangle not square

[KBDollhouseproject]

I'm new at the whole mini books thing. I've seen alot of books and very little how to vids. Mainly what I'm wondering is how do you mount photos into the albums without them looking completely out of place?

[otherilikecutestuff]

you are so talented

[2pinkpossums]

this is stunning I love it

[lostgreyer]

so beautiful. Great job!

[rachelhardy123]

What a beautiful album! It's so inspiring to see a finished album- it makes me want to craft too. :) I know it was late when you made this video, so thank you so much for posting!

[smedina8]

This is my very first time responding to a video or anything. I love all that you do. Your albums are beautiful!! I was looking to see if you posted a video of that bingo pocket card thing and couldn't find it. I like the pull out tag. I have made the pocket but not the tag part and was wondering if you did one?

[beatakrejcova]

Beautiful and elegant!  Speaking of elegant, you've got beautiful hands, you should do hand modelling! Hope you play the piano - it'd probably come easy to you! :-) ata

[GinebrasinLancelot]

I love the grunge style! Perfect. Cheers!

[crestondiva2008]

Hi Marion, GREAT mini. Can you please make a video to show us how to use the bingo card tag pocket thing? pretty please, thanks soo much for making your video's.

[ecaeppshn9]

Thanks Marion, I have this paper , it well be fun to make now.

Thanks...O

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

Ha ha, well we're all a little imperfect lol. Yes this is 6X6. Have fun making your mini!

[CraftyQT]

What kind of paper kits do you buy, I wanna start making my albums with vintagy feels too, do you crackle paint on your pictures.

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

I don't buy paper kits, I just shop around and buy what I like. I use the Ranger crackle accents on my photos that are framed usually. I also use the acrylic crackle paint on the edges.

[smedina8]

@APieceofCraftdotcom sorry this was an accident

spettacolare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[Suzycat1139]

Hi Marion - I figured out what I was doing wrong - the brads were too big to fit the mounts. I looked at some small enough but they did not look right - so will make sure I buy them together next time. I did find some mounts with the brads included so that should solve my immediate problem. Thanks for your kind response to my question, I realize it's hard to understand when there's nothing to look at. Thanks again for the great videos!

[Suzycat1139]

Hi Marion - the album is gorgeous! You inspire me daily and have been very helpful in the past - and - I have yet another question. How do I attach photo mounts or anything else to swivel? Brads don't fit through the mounts that I bought..is there a better way? As always, thanks again and I loved the custom buttons - have put a ton in my latest project! Suzycat

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

What kind of mounts?

[Suzycat1139]

I bought some picture turn mounts to use as closures and don't know how to attach them. None of my brads will fit (too big) and the tiny ones won't hold. Also - what do I use to get tags that will swivel? Thanks again, Marion, I don't know where you find the time to do these beautiful albums but I value and appreciate your craft and your sharing with us! Thanks again.

[NJGardengirl1961]

I ordered this Graphic45 paper after seeing your vid and it is SO ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! I also got some very sweet Christmas stuff from Graphic45. Can't wait to use it. Thanks for all your inspiration, Marion

[rodakowski]

Love, Love, Love this album Marion! So many good ideas to incorporate into my next project! Each page has something great! Probably want to check your spelling for "unforgettable." Because its in the book frame it would be easy to correct with a piece of paper over it.

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

How funny I never knew it was spelled that way lol! Thanks for pointing that out, I will most definitely change it! Gosh I wish I could blame it on the late hour, but it really is just a brain fart lol! Thanks again, I'm glad you like it!

[notoufu]

love the album! the sliding tag is it called push pull ??

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

I don't think it is, I really don't have a name for it, I just saw it one day and figured out how to make it on my own. I just call them sliding tags.

[raineylee]

Great album!! Theme, color and embellishment look awesome. The sliding tags looks creative. I never seen that. I also notice (on the page before that) a picture of a lady with ribbon weaved behind it with bling. Very Cute!!

[namunoo]

[mysugarplumcottage]

Thank you so much for sharing your Shabby Chic album! You certainly mastered the Vintage!!

It is truly beautiful. I am glad you get to keep it!

I am not sure I could part with it. Thanks for making the video at such a late hour... and yep, I am hoping you show us how to make the moving tag. I loved the ending with the "silent movie." It was such a great way to finish a vintage album!

HOLY COW! This is so beautiful Marion! So many great ideas to lift! Can't wait for you to do the slidey taggy video! I'd love to learn how to do it! I think this is my favorite mini of yours yet!

[SavannahOutenPoland]

amazing <33.

[Shel0524]

Thank you for sharing, I love graphic45 paper. where do you get you idea's from?

Shelley

[jocelynandjosh]

ok, I always thought these books were silly and time consuming. However, your album is gorgeous. I love the vintage throughout. It's not overly bulky or adorned. It actually will serve it's purpose of holding photos and not just a book of prima flowers and bulky charms with no room for anything else. LOL

You did an amazing job and I would actually buy this if I saw it in a store. I love the simplicity of it and your choice of the perfect papers so it's not too busy.

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

Thank you, what an awesome comment! I always try to leave room for pictures even though I never make time to put the pictures in them. My Mom stole this mini from me lol! Thanks again!

[sashasquashi]

stunning its beautiful , thank you so much for sharing this at such a late time for you, i would so love to join the group , but not sure if you like to ship over to the uk unless there is a uk group that you already have going on or people interested in ?

[scrappygalinsc]

Il ove the paper! is it graphic 45?

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

Yup I just love this collection!

[JuneBugPins]

Just beautiful....

[TERIBERI2]

I really wanted to see the final album =) This mini turned out FABULOUS!!!  Love all the details - AMAZING!! Hugs, T

[suziecrafter10]

Marion...I absolutely love this! The old fashioned photos...are they stamps or paper? Very lovely! Awesome job!

[APieceofCraftdotcom]
