Leeanne, this is so beautiful! I have watched this video like 3 times trying to get ideas for my first mini (also a paper bag mini). I have a question- did you use regular lunch bags or did you use the nicer ones from Michaels? (I am using the regular ol' cheapo ones but am afraid that they might be too wrinkly.) Again, love this!!!!
Lee!!!! What paper pack did you use for this? I LOVE these colors together! I'd love for you to make something for your house. Something that you could put in a frame and hang on the wall. =) LOVE your work! I love Laura, too!
@britmh77 Thanks so much sweetie! I'm glad you like it :-) Most of the papers are from the "Meadow Lark" collection by My Mind's Eye. LOVE those papers! Yes...a house project is coming sometime hahaha...I wish I could have all the time in the world to craft lol!!! I have made decor paintings and canvas before three paintings are in my master suite and a 4 peice canvas in our living room...it's so much fun making your own decor...and cheaper too! TFW girl...hugs ~ Leanne :-)
i think this is my favorite mini on youtube. i will be using your ideas for mini's i'm making for grandaughter's cheer. do you know if the circle punch you used for letters were 5/8 and bottom circle 3/4 inch??
Wow Lee!! Absolutely amazing. This video still amazed me and awed by it even though I've seen the sneak peek! I love how you got to use my dies and punches to put in this mini!! Love love love this mini! Best one I've seen! Did you mail it to your Sis already? Can't wait til our class next Saturday!
@anhannaford Thank you so much for your sweet comment. To bind the mini album, All the paper bags are adhered to eachother using Provo Craft's Terrifically Tacky Tape (I used Laura's: FollowThePaperTrail paper bag mini technique) with a chipboard front/back cover. I then covered the entire album with canvas and then embellished it. I added a "D" ring to the side to tie ribbons etc for an added touch. I hope that makes sense lol. Let me know if you have any further questions TFW Hugs ~ Leanne:-)
@humkamesh Thanks you so much for your comment :-) The paper bags I used were from the dollar store, they are black and measure 10" x 5 1/4" I was going to use black bags from Michaels...but they smaller and with the folding technique of the paper bag album, it would have decreased the size even more. Anyway...thanks again :-) Hugs ~ Leanne :-)
Hi Lee, wow, this is awesome. I remember way back when you were planning and purchasing goodies for this special wedding album and to see it all come together has been amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it. It is beautiful and beyond words I have right now. What a beautiful couple to fill a beautiful piece of art. The colours and elements are so classy.
@AliDantre Awww Thanks so much Ali...I'm so glad you like it :-) lol...yes I remember WAY back too lol...that prep took a long time didn't it hahahaha! Thanks so much for your sweet comment girl! Hugs ~ Luv Lee :-)
What an amazing and gorgeous wedding album you created for your sister and brother-in-law!! I think they will just loved it. Everything is so intricate and I just love the color combination. TFS!
This album is beautiful, amazing, the detail is astounding. I am sure your sister and brother in-law will just love it. Fantastic work, and I really love how you added bits and pieces of memorabilia from the wedding to the design - it makes it all the more special for the married couple.
O M G Lee!!! How gorgeous!!! You know.. I never knew I'd like this colour combo so much!! it works so well!!! It's all so beautifull, you can really see how much time and care you've put into this.. I am sure your sis is going to tear up when she gets it!!!
I seriously never seen a mini with so much detail.. I absolutely love it!! Its gorgeous!! tfs :)
The mini is GLORIOUS!!! Your sis is going to cherish it forever! You can definitely tell all the time and love you put into it!! I love how interactive it is and the colors are all just perfect together!! thanks for showing it to us girl!!!
@flipacano2 Thanks Cass! I have to say...the color combo made it much easier for me to create...less thinking to do lol!!!!!!! I'm glad you like it :-) TFW ttys ~ Hugs Luv Lee :-)
This is beautiful! I love all the pear charms and the pocket book mini inside. I have not tried a paper bag album yet but would like too. How do you keep bag from opening up so wide inside the album?
@sba0529 Thank you so much for your comment :-) I sealed down the side gussets of the paper bags (I really don't like them opening up a lot). This prevents the main pocket of the bag from opening up wide. I hope that makes sense...if not let me know :-) TFW Hugs ~ Leanne :-)
Lee! This is amazing! Just gorgeous. I love how you included memorbilia from the wedding, which will make it extra special to your sister. I can see the love in the details. They will treasure this I'm sure! TFS :)
I must tell you that I've watched a gazillion videos on beautiful mini albums people have made, but I think this is the most stunning one I've seen. The colors are great, all the little pockets, etc. are just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone.
@NewlyWedz06 lol!!! Ummm I'm not sure really hahaha...I had to do little bits here and there. I worked on over the past month...I know that much lol! TFW ~ Hugs Leanne :-)
@paperdrama Thanks so much for your comment! I got the pear charms on eBay...I don't remember the sellers name...but if you put "pear charms" in the search bar on eBay...a wack load will show up. I just chose the cheapest (including shipping). TFW ~ Hugs Leanne :-D
I loveeeee this Lee..Sooo much detail..You make it look so easy. haha She is going to love this album because I do. I just love how the theme goes with their last name. So awesome. TFS Hug Crystal
Oh my Lee...this is just STUNNING!! you've put so much detail and thought into it to make it so elegant and personal, really amazing! Loved seeing every bit of it with all those cute pockets and tags and little mini's in the mini... You are a creative wonder! Your sister will totally fall in love with it, that's for sure!
@debbiestip Thanks so much Debbie! I tend to go a little overboard on details I think hahahaha!!! Thanks for your sweet comment girl! ttys ~ Hugs Luv Lee :-)
Your sister is going to loveit! You did a absolutely wonderful job!!
I just completed a wedding mini album for my sister's and her colors were red, white, black. It took me forever to complete. I just need to film and post so I can give it to her. I can't wait because I've grown tired of looking at it. :)
Lee I so look forward to all your vids! You are such an inspiration to me! Your sis & BIL are going to cherish this album forever! It is just beautiful! I only wish you would do tutorials on your albums,, but I understand it is quite time consuming! I only wish I had half your talent girl! TFS!
WOW that is just stinking beautiful so much details in every page on every tag just a ton of yumminess your minis are always super fab but this one takes the cake your sister is going to just love it the personal touches are priceless. YOUR AWESOME!!!! You are such an inspiration!! Mucho Hugs, Anna
