[RoxanW]

Hi Arlene, Thank you for taking the time to put up and talk about this beautiful piece. I have a question about the mini file piece at 5:05. Did you fussy cut from a template, do you have a die, or buy premade. I would love to get my hands on some that size and am having no luck trying to figure out what to do. Thanks!

Roxan

[Thinkscrapbooking]

I love your mini - you have done an outstanding job with it. I appreciate all the tips and especially when you show the behind the scene shots. I am making my mini inspired by your work. Thanks so much for sharing your know how.

[alicedooling]

gorgeous

[punkynpunkin]

Great Mini Arlene! I wonder why I didn't see this last year! Love it and love, love the tip about the powder! I have a ton of those sticker frames that I got on clearance last year and now I can put em to use! Thanks so much! I miss your tut vids! We miss you! Tori

[ericschic65]

I'm about to do my 1st Halloween mini, and I HATE SPIDERS. So my mini will not have them....Gwen.

[mworkman4]

This is really awesome. Halloween is my favorite time of year and I think I will start making my own mini after I pick the halloween paper pack up. Very inspiring :-)

[BeingBeverly]

LOVE your work - but any chance you could change the music to match the music in your tutorial- its a bit rough and distracting to your beautiful work!:).

[ascraper01]

Super WOW!!!!!!!! you make everything look just so easy!, Im pretty good at what i do, but your very good. and like i said you make it look so darn easy, lol!! thanks for posting!

[TheRachel3131]

wow soo cool I love watching thee videos I'm so addicted! I probably been watching youtube for 4 hours straight now.. I can't wait untill we have halloween for all the seasonal products. And I hate spiders too! but it looks great on the mni!

[SilverOneJ]

Where can I find the "gate" for an album similar to this? By the way this is the most beautiful halloween mini I've seen in a long time. Congratulations on this creation..

[HalloweenScrapbook]

[shellyanne00]

wonderful mini! great job. I want to make one of my own now.

[theclosetstamper]

Utterly amazing!! I love absolutely *everything* about this book! I wish I could have seen it all in regular speed, but obviously there was a lot to show and not enough time. And I think I need to go pick up a few items after watching... ;)

[Thinkscrapbooking]

Love your mini. Great source of inspiration. I also wanted to thank you for the tutorial.

[nbenton2]

Love your mini, I bet your kids just flip when you create stuff like this! Thanks for sharing the video of 'how you did it' always helps to see the creation evolve! Patti

[corigarcia08]

what shimmer mist did you say you used?

[butterscotch223]

I adore this album!! I love doing mini's, but how do you get your edges so clean on all of your tags and pages when you mount paper on them? I've tried sanding and inking with all different inks, but they never come out just perfect...

[Wentworthsgal]

Love it!! :o) TFS x

[LusciousLuce]

Wow, watching Arlene working on a mini whilst listening to The Verve - just perfect!!

[sickgirl531]

This is just the perfect inspiration I needed today to get my Halloween mini finished up. You always have the best tutorials and never boring or redundant. Thank for all you do, and I too wish u could do some Ustream...that would be sooooo great!!! BTW, where did you find the little picket fence?

[sudmorris]

Fantastic mini! TFS

[Denise5821]

I love the stuff you can use on the front of albums, never ever thought of using halloween party favors and decor. It's a whole new world of scrappin, thanks for sharing!!

[littlegigglingpixie]

Fantastic mini, love those papers by DCWV, don't think I've seen it before, it looks great. And those paper bags with the skeleton from Michaels are great. I love this mini.

[RoseS915]

Wow! sooo much details! Ate Ar. you know ur awesome. :)

[sarah20az]

Love the cover Arlene! Also, I love to watch you work on your stuff ( it is relaxing for me) almost like I am doing it without the mess ;) well, and without the awesome end product, but seeing it is almost as good as having it! TFS. Sarah

[mamadawg365]

what journaling stamps do you use? I noticed in some of your previous videos, you use a longer one....thanks

[Ultimatecruegirl]

I just love your mini albums. I will say again I wish you did Ustream classes, but I understand that you are prob to busy.

I do ahjve a couple of questions. Where did you get the black pop dots and the big eyelets?

Thanks so much for sharing your cool creations with us.

[Ultimatecruegirl]

@Ultimatecruegirl this word ahjve is supposed to be have. I type well lol.

[mybutterflykisses12]

@Ultimatecruegirl Hey there. I get the black dimensionals from Jody over at confessionsofaribbonaddict-dot­-blogspot-dot-com. She's awesome, tell her I said HI! I bought the extra large eyelets from shopwer-dot-com months ago. I'm not sure of the best place to find them now. I've been told they don't sell them online anymore. :-(

[Ultimatecruegirl]

@mybutterflykisses12 Thank you so much. I checked We R and they do have something listed as wide eyelets so I will give those a shot.

Thanks so much Arlene!

[mssoftbrn]

@mybutterflykisses12 .. they actually do still sell them online..

[mysugarplumcottage]

Spooktacular mini album Arlene!

[DeraLynnD]

You put together some awesome videos. They are so professional looking. I know it must take you a long time to put these together, and so I just wanted to thank you for doing these. I learn tons whenever I watch your vids. Thanks for sharing ~Dera

[PaperedJewels]

This is an awesome album! I love the pocket pages.

[HOPELOOSJE]

thANKS FOT YOUR ANSWER, DO YOU HAVE A COMPANY WHERE I CAN ORDER THE ZUTTER DISTRESS IT ALL. I CAN'T FIND IT IN THE NETHRLANDS

[mybutterflykisses12]

@HOPELOOSJE sorry, I don't know of any places to recommend. I bought mine at California Paper Goods online several months ago. Try Google or check zutter-dot-com. :-)

[Nightmares03]

Love it! It turned out Amazing. TFS♥Holly

[Cinfulwayoflife]

Album is awesome, i was wondering about the accucut dies do they work with the sizzix big shot? TFS

[mybutterflykisses12]

@Cinfulwayoflife Thanks! :-) The Accucut dies are larger and don't run through the BIgShot machine. But Sizzix dies run through the Accucut machine with an adapter. :-)

[Cinfulwayoflife]

@mybutterflykisses12 Thank you, i don't know if i could get another machine just yet, but i will definitely will be saving money. I just got a Accuquilt go and that for quilting i kinda looks like the Accucut. Thanks for getting back to me your album truly is awesome.

Cindy

[FncyFce]

Tracey :)

[patsyspieces]

Seriously I lvoe watching you make things! My 4 year old son even stops playing to watch.  This was a cool Halloween album great job and thanks for sharing.

[HOPELOOSJE]

fantastic, but it is a problem to get a lot of halloween stuff in my place.in the Netherlands. But i really lie it.

But i have a question. What is it youy used from zutter. it looked like a electric paperdistresser?

[mybutterflykisses12]

@HOPELOOSJE Thanks for watching. The tool I used by Zutter is called the "Distress it All." It's really cool because you can distress the edges of chipboard and do multiple pages at one time. :-)

[vanyscott]

Awesome inspiration! TFS!!

[Timeforscrappin]

You know what you rock at? VIDEO EDITING! Now that's a tutorial that I'd love to see!!!!

[mybutterflykisses12]

@Timeforscrappin thanks.

[kim8mis]

Hi Arlene. What a wonderful mini album. I am trying to learn how to use the stickpins/memo pins. How do you get them to stay? Do you just pin through the flowers? And do you need an end cap to prevent the sharp end from poking and hurting people? Thanks in advance for your guidance. :)

[mybutterflykisses12]

@kim8mis Hi there. I just stick them through the center of the flowers and they stay put for me. I don't push them too far in, otherwise the sharp end will stick out. If you need a little help keeping them to stay. put a dab of hot glue on the tip before pushing it into the flower. :-)

[Aloesaloes]

Wonderful!!

:o) Loes

[OdonataCreations]

I love your videos Ar! TFS! Hugs, Mary >;<
