Mini Album Video Series #1

I get lots and lots of emails on how I cover my mini's, so I decided we needed a mini album series.

I have 4 videos filmed and I have at least one more that I want to do. You will see a new video everyday for the next 4 days and each one will show you something new on the basics of how I make my mini albums. I hope you enjoy them.

At the end of the series and if you have any questions on something I missed or didn't cover, feel free to email me. Please us my Yahoo email as for my other one doesn't always work :(

So here we go....




Supplies: 12x12 Chipboard cut down to 4x6, Pattern paper cut to 4x6. X-acto knife, Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive, Basic Grey Precision file system (or nail file), Brayer.

    Great showing the video step by step I have wanted to do this but did not know how so this will encourage me to make a one.

    What is the black matt that you use? I like that you work on it but can cut on it also and seem durable. Thanks
