What a beautiful mini!!! How much smaller do you create your pages to get your clean matted look!! It look a 1/4 of a inch?

[charlenegibson]

@tsnell80 Thank you for your comment and yes ... the inside paper is 1/4 inch smaller than the matte. Hope that helps. Charlene

Wonderfully made Charlene, love that there isn't to much embellishment. I alway find it hard to cover up such beautiful paper. Really like your idea on the flap for the paper bag. Great Job. TFS Olga

Hello Charlene,

Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are very inspirational. Just wondering do you ever post tutorials?

[1QueenDi]

Love it! Beautiful album.

[dinajmac]

love love love it!!!!!

[Marticaluv11]

This is gorgeous love it for cover to cover....

[craftydiva10]

I have seen a few Steampunk album videos but I think I prefer yours. It is not as fussy as some which gives it a nicely structored look. The flowers are fabulous. TFS Chris

[AbsolutelyNameless]

@craftydiva10 Well said some are a little over the top!

[esthercraft]

Such a pretty mini, sometimes i really think simple is MORE!!! and definitely embellishments should go with your picture rathere than the other way around... GREAT job!! how did you paint or color your grunge board on your flap??

[elemeniah]

This is a beautiful album, how did you make the flap for the bag?

Lori :-)

[charlenegibson]

@elemeniah Hi Lori. thank you for the comment and to answer your question I just made a template for the flap that was curved on one side then just glued the other side to the inside of the bag. The flap is about 5 inches long and the width was slightly smaller than the bag. Hope that answers your question. Charlene

[PrimaDonnaCraft]

Great mini and like the way you did the closure. Tfs.

[esthercraft]

Wow this came up so beautiful and yummieesss!!!

[Sue7777000]

I really love this one! TFS!! Sue

[desdichaedo]

So pretty, Charlene! :D I love how light and fresh it looks. The painting with Perfect Pearls turned out very pretty ~ I love the look & the whole thing is just gorgeous.

[sweetcraftychick]

very pretty mini! love how you used the paper collection! thanks for sharing and happy new year! *hugs* steph :)

[eyzofnangel131]

Hello :) I just recently discovered this whole altered mini album art a few days ago and it's sooo fascinating! I have a couple of questions. First, do you start off with buying an actual mini album? Second, the pages inside...are you just working off of what pages are already in there? Or do you just simply tear them out and put your own paper in...? Thanks!

[loridee21]

Wow, Charlene! I LOVE it! Thanks for stopping by my channel. I, too, hope you had a Merry Christmas as well. I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year! Stay in touch, my friend.

[Tfriday77]

Wow, your mini is gorgeous. TFS!! Friday

[roxyfur]

[naviegirl]

wow can you tell me how you made the paste for the flowers did you order white flowers an painted them as well what is the name pf those flowers.

[charlenegibson]

@naviegirl Sure, I mixed perfect pearls powder and water to a medium consistency (not to thick) then painted white roses and a couple of white gardenias that I got from Iamroses.com

[cynthialoowho]
