Hello Clare,

When making your chipboard pages, do you cut them a quarter inch smaller than the covers?

About 5 months have gone by since you created this tutorial....how has the atg adhesive held up on this album?

Thanks,

Janie

@wrentitgrl Hi Janie, thanks for your comment. i did cut the cover 1/4 larger than the pages, and the ATG adhesive is still sticking fine. Bw :-) C

I love this technique and have actually attempted it. Everything went well, but I do have a question. You said that you used "binding strips of cardboard" to connect the pages together and for the binding. Did you mean cardstock? Perhaps we have a different name for it here in the U.S.? Thanks for sharing ;-)

@carebear9577 Hi there, thanks for your message. I didi mean card stock which is what i used in strips to bind the pages. Bw Clare

Hello, Can I ask which of your binding methods you like best? Would it be this method shown in this video, using the Tim H. binder rings or the single rings(like the one used for the Magic of oz album). I love this method in this video

@msanjanetta Hello there. thank you so much for your message.  I enjoy making all of the bindings, as they all have a different look to them, and different techniques to put them together. I'd be hard pushed to come up with a favourite :-) C

Hello, I love your binding ideas, I have only just discovered these beautiful mini albums and have started to gather all my stuff to get started, but I cannot find the D-ring you use anywhere, would mind telling me please where you got them from, I'm from the UK.

Yours Sincerely

Hello! Fantastic video! Your voice is so nice to listen to..and you are extreeeemely explicit! Love that! I followed everything you said. I, too, have alot of problems with making my minis as they, even tho I do use the same binding between pages...seem to STILL be not bug enuff. You had taught to make it 1/4 inch OVER the board...BRILLIANT!! As I look at the baby mini I just finished, the pages are coming apart! thank you so much for this !!
