[toolpartiesbydana]

THANK YOU ! Not only is your mini album so cute and your instructions are clear and understandable but your "just do it" was the clencher. I have watched countless YT videos on crafting and I want to do all of them ( but yours is the first vid that has literally got me to actually makde one (the first one I have ever made) as I type this. Your encouragement to "Just Cut it" ladies and "Just do it !" was what gave me the courage to do it. I hope to photo of my completed ablum. Thanks!!!

[tracy72587]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial! Can you show me how you bound the envelopes together? I'm not sure how they are bounded with 5 baggies. Thanks!

[Steffogal1]

@tracy72587 hi :) to bind the pages.. punch 2 holes (exactly the same position on every page./bag) and put your eyelets in with crop a dile and then add your binding rings! :) super easy! :)

[littlegigglingpixie]

Fantastic tutorial, and every video I watch with the Le Cirque papers makes those papers grow on me. Thanks for sharing, best wishes, Geraldine.

[6645mesedge]

OMGosh!!!! What a wonderful idea [even for us old time crafters]. Just a quick note on how you can get the part of the paper you want to show. I outline the bag or what ever I'm using out of clear sheets [transparencys, thin plastic or page protecters] cut it out. Then lay the plastic over the part I want ...draw around it and cut it out!

Love your ideas....off to Michaels!!!!!!!!!!!!! for bags [ and what ever else -hehehe]

[Steffogal1]

@6645mesedge Love it!! :) yes yes,.. great tip!! thanks for sharing it!! super sweet you are!! :)
