I do hope you have enjoyed this Mini Scrapbook Tutorial and please leave me a comment as it is always nice to hear from my fellow crafters.
Hello Dawn,,,,Thank you so much, this is fabulous! I really like your teaching style, you make it very clear and easy. And the videos are very good too, nice and clear. I will be checking in on all your projects. Keep on crafting and smiling 🙂
Wow these are fabulous .. I have been caught short and need an album for tomorrow and these are both so quick … Thank you so much for taking the time to show us .
Dawn could you tell me how you get your paper to line up so good when you have to cut it into sections? Ibhave the perfect paper to use for this mini album but I think I would have to cut the paper like you did, and I’ve never done that before. Love both these albums. Thanks for sharing your talent. Have a great day.
Hi Cynthia, If you mean about having the paper pattern follow along in each section so it looks like one piece as it does before you cut it. For this I would work out how you want you papers to lie and cut each size as you go along, this way the pattern would then be in line and match the piece before.
If you mean about laying them on the cardstock I always like to leave 1/8″ gap around the paper so you can see the card. To stick this down I just eyeball it.
I hope this helps? Dawn
