  1. Just came across your video. This is really nice. I love that you don't have to make a binding for it. Do you have a video showing how you embellish it. Do you make tags to insert in the end openings? TFS I also subscribed to your channel. Looking forward for more creative videos. Thanks.

  2. Oh my days, this is some serious stuff! I love how you made a creative unique book out of something that no one would ever assume could be awesome to make stuff with! I love it! πŸ™‚ I think I should try something like this as a sketchbook since I'm in an art course! How did you come up with the idea? Did something inspire you? Or was it just a why not thing? By the way, can you please tell me if you can purchase that pattern paper online because I think it would be extremely handy for me. Thanks!

  3. Thank you so much! You made it look so easy. That is what I was looking for. Especially the part where it comes to putting the pretty paper on. All the other video's I saw, didn't show how to put the pretty scrapbooking paper on. πŸ™‚

  4. What do you use for page protecters. I want to make some for my kiddo's at work and was wondering what you use to keep the pix from getting damaged.

  5. I have been wanting to make this album for awhile now, but never thought to check you tube! Thanks for showing this….I can not wait to do this!! What kind of cutting blade (tool) do you have? I just have a cutterpede, but I love the oversize one you have….

  6. Thank you so much for posting this! I'm a beginner to scrapbooking and most of the other videos were using a bit too much scrapbook jargon I couldn't follow. πŸ™‚ This was great.

  7. As soon as your finger touches the paper, it is no longer acid free. So not to worry about that.. Acid free is just another buzz word in the scrapbooking world..

  8. Thanks! You are right, paper bags are not acid-free, but you can spray them with an archival spray, such as Make It Acid-free or Achival Mist, to neutralize the acid.

  9. Good question! You could fold it the other way and it would work. I fold it the way I do because it is easier to line the bottom of the bag up to get a straight line when you crease it. Hope that makes sense.

  10. omigosh, thank you! we had to do this for a school project, and i missed the day my teachers showed us how to do it, cuz i was at a fuineral. This made it so much more easy… now to find the objects to go in the pockets…. lol!

    thank you so much!

  11. It's all thanks to your video….I was inspired so much and you made it so easy to follow thru…Thanks again!! Now, I can't stop making these. I am working on another one just now for Mother's Day, I'll post when I'm done.
