Very Quick Marvellous Mini - jennings644

[TheBlackbutterfly62]

I went off and checked out the other video you suggested Fiona, such an inspiration you ladies are. I have just completed my first ever basic mini album after watching how you did this. I am so pleased and will pop a photo or two up on its progress as soon as I can, I cant wait to start decorating it now. Thanks again for your helpful video :O) Juli

[TheBlackbutterfly62]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. I would never have attempted this before seeing your demo, you have made it so easy to follow ( she says, as I haven't actually tried it yet.. lol ) but I am going to attempt this one for sure. I have been struggling with a mini I wanted to make and this has made it all a lot clearer. Thank you Fiona for your brilliant video.

[troutscraphappy]

thank you thank you...your video was a bit more easier to follow...

[ArtsySusan]

Fiona - thank you so much for making this SO quick and easy. I don't post videos but I did take your "challenge" to share what we've made, and posted it on my blog (ArtsySusan dot blogspot dot com), with a link back to your video. I did a few things differently - made it smaller, and added space between the covers and the pockets. And I left off the chipboard spine cover - couldn't get the darn pockets to lay flat. I posted all the dimensions I used for my version. Anyway - thanks again!

[Jennings644]

@ArtsySusan I saw your post on the blog but I don't know how to comment, so I will just have to say from here that I think you did an awesome job and I can't wait to see your album finished! Thanks for the shout out :) xx Fi

[53cynthiab]

thank you have found it now love your videos you are so down to earth

and make every thing look so simple

[Jennings644]

@53cynthiab Thank you for your kind comments, I do try to do my best and make it as easy as possible x

[miszka52]

Super idea!!!

[Jennings644]

@miszka52 Glad you like it x

[KimScrapper]

Thanks for the explanation, I have seen something like this before, glad you are loving your ScorPal

[InsideOutInspection]

Hi, I'm glad I checked around because here I was thinking that I was so clever that I came up with a new binding method the other night but then I see this and it's almost the exact same. So you were clever before me - LOL. I'm glad it's already out there though but this video stole my thunder, ha ha. I prefer the neater mini's that don't pop open so much and this binding method is the answer to that, good job :o)

[Jennings644]

@InsideOutInspection Not sure if Cathy Orta didn't start this type of binding of books! I know there has been several ladies that have done similar, I thought by showing how I would do it would be a little simpler for newbies etc x

[53cynthiab]

brilliant followed the link to your store but its not coming up if you can help please maybe eatsy down

Cynthia

[Jennings644]

[Jazzyjess49]

Very quick, very easy, and you made it easier! Thanks for making this so easy to understand!

[Jennings644]

@Jazzyjess49 I'm so glad that it helped you out x

[bluucaca]

very good tutorail TFS i can really see all the possibilities

[Jennings644]

@bluucaca Yep, I'm working on using the folded technique for things OTHER than a book binder lol. Me thinks it can be used for several different ideas beside binding a book! x

[dottygin]

i can see now where i was going wrong, it was my folding i wasnt getting little tunnels at the back like yours......iv made the envelopes, where going to have fun on the covers fiona. lol lol xxxx

[Jennings644]

@dottygin Hope you show us your creations x

[dottygin]

help help help!! i bet your ears are burning at the moment. iv got myself in a right tizz with the binding. i think iv got it now but it was out of luck. what a pigs ear i made of it. lol everytime you was saying its simple or its easy, i was shouting no fiona its not. lol lol i need practise and practise if im to make any more, which im hoping too. hugs gina xxxxxxx

[Jennings644]

@dottygin First time I followed this technique, I got in s tizz too, I think I have it right now lol lol x

[AScrappinIdeadotcom]

Thanks so much Sister now I can watch the video to make mine. Yours is very easy to understand and I love it. TFS Huge Hugs Kris

[Paganmaiden]

Great tutorial Fi, have seen Anne's too. Will be having a go. Your video is much easier to understand I got a bit confused on Anne's but she did do an awsome job.

TFS!

hugs

Tracy x

[Jennings644]

@Paganmaiden I've been following Anne's mini and its awesome and I'm doing hers for a friend of mine in the style of 'The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe'. x

[LindaLap]

This was great! Very easy to follow. Thanks for showing how to do the binding.

[Jennings644]

@LindaLap Hope we get to see your creations x

[irisshubert]

Hi Fiona!What a great idea and tutorial!Thank you for being so generous with your talent and sharing your clever ideas with us.Of all the attributes that you possess,I think the one that serves you the best is your unselfishness.You are an encourager and a cheerleader for all who have sat and wondered,"Could I do that myself?"There is so much joy in the creative process, even in the mistakes we make.You give us permission to laugh at ourselves and keep trying.TY sweet Fiona.Iris, Saved by Grace

[Jennings644]

@irisshubert Your so sweet Iris, ANYONE can achieve anything by having a go, it sometimes just takes someone to encourage and to SHOW you how to achieve it :) xx

[Scrapitydoodah]

Great album. Thanks for the tutorial. Will have to check Anne out too. TFS - Lynn

[Jennings644]

@Scrapitydoodah She's an awesome lady and her mini's are THE BEST I've ever seen. Cathy Orta is another lady with an awesome mini talent lol. xx

[nightangel0515]

Great video - i'm also following xannero1 tutorial which is also great but think you're video is a great supplement to it - TFS

[Jennings644]

@nightangel0515 What a compliment! Thank you. If ever I find anything that I think someone else may find difficult, I will always, always try and make it more simple to follow. I do think that some of the great crafters forget that a newbie and a less confident crafter need that extra help or push and therefore I'm here to step in and do just that lol lol x

[paperie1]

Well Fiona, have spent quite a while over the weekend having a go at this for my first mini and you come up with a brilliant tutorial!! How brilliant are you!! So easy to follow. I hadn't got my chipboard piece quite right on the spine so thanks for showing this. It will be covered in lace from guess who lol.

Lynne

[ScrappinAngela]

Thank you for the tutorial, Fiona! Hope your having a fab day!

Hugs,

Angela

[terriemears]

This is awesome, I will go and look at them.

Thank you Fiona.

Hugs Tink

[cjmj600]

[alittleshabbychic]

Hi Fiona, That looks like a fantastic mini to make and it is on my list of must do's! Thank you so much for the tutorial, hugs Tricia xxx

[Jennings644]

@alittleshabbychic Your welcome my friend xx

[chirho41]

That Scor-Pal is getting a lot of use!  lol Wonderful Tutorial, my friend, and very nice spine idea. Hugs, Beth

[Jennings644]

@chirho41 Cheers Beth, It is also far easier on the fingers how I would normally score and fold paper lol xx

[MosaicMaiden]

I have seen other tutorials for this and this is the best, great tutorial and easy to understand! I wish I had seen this before I started the project I am working on now.

[Jennings644]

@MosaicMaiden Well maybe it will encourage you to make another one :) xx

[xannero1]

What a great idea to use the glue gun on the spines and great tutoria :-) would love to see your mini finish.Tfs

Varm hugs, Anne

[Jennings644]

@xannero1 Anne you say the sweetest things my friend, I just wanted to show how easy it is to do this technique and of course I know you are showing a COMPLETE mini. I sure hope that others will nip along and see your fabulous tut on how to make YOUR design. I've just watched part two, AWESOME technique and heaps of space to journal etc. I may try YOUR way as I have an idea for a friends mini seeing yours now lol lol. Hugs Fi xx

[janstok011]

Brilliant tutorial Fiona, I have watched lots of videos on how to make a mini album using this technique and this to me is by far the easiest method. I did not have the confidence to try making a mini album this way I might actually try it now! Tfs, Janet

[Jennings644]

@janstok011 Thank you Janet, your so sweet lady :). I have emailed you earlier, are you getting my emails? Hope so, and thank you for still wanting the kit :) xx

[dottygin]

i forgot to say, i love the papers you used on yours. there gorgeous. xxx

[dottygin]

fiona im loving this, your way is so much easier than other demos iv seen. you really explain things for us. will you be showing us how you do the chipboard cover? i hope so, thanks fiona once again for a fabulous demo. hugs gin xxxxxxx

[Jennings644]

@dottygin You can see how to do the cover in another video, type in book cover and my name and it should come up, its the same technique only a different shape!!! Let me know if you can't find it please xx

[dottygin]

@Jennings644 will do fi. xxxxx

[Lfundoo]

Hey Fi - can you please hook me up with the link for your loo roll mini? I'd like to try that one too. Mahalo!

[Tonniece3]

TFS Fiona. This will make it so much easier to make one.

Hugs

Tonniece

[Jennings644]

@Tonniece3 Like I said they only look hard to make, but are infact very easy!!

[ladyinnominate]

Lovely idea! I can't wait to try this. :)

[Jennings644]

@ladyinnominate It is a nice way to put a mini together and only looks hard :) xx

[OpaqueWhisper]

What paper is that Fi its gorgeous? Hugs Sheron xx

[Jennings644]

@OpaqueWhisper Its ordinary black cardstock :) xx

[OpaqueWhisper]

Kathy Orta did this hidden spine ages ago its a great way to put a min together my last two had this spine just different measurements. Hugs Sheron

[Jennings644]

@OpaqueWhisper Yes its great as you can do them any size, Kathy is fabulous at her mini's too xx

[ohhowcutebycyn]

Have you ever thought of making your own paper for a mini with your artwork ?

Tfs Cynthia

[Jennings644]

@ohhowcutebycyn I do design my own paper and on some of the orginal tags I did way back I explain that I did the papers as folk thought I had bought them and they wanted to buy same lol :) xx

[Lfundoo]

This is great! I've only made one mini album and it was with coin envelopes, so this is a HUGE help for me! Thanks lady! Aloha, Linda

[Jennings644]

@Lfundoo Then you should try the loo roll mini, I have a tut on that one too lol xx
