Make Mine Mini, Please!

Do you perhaps have a link to a tutorial on how to create this type of journal? It certainly sounds interesting!

I've just watched a mini accordion album tutorial on youtube. I'm a bit confused by how you get 8 pages. I want to have a go, but it scares me lol xx

Here is the site I went to, but you are right, @Minxy1964 there are only 6 pages! I'll change that.

Don't be afraid! I'll stay by you, lol! I've never made one either, so it'll be like the blind leading the blind.

Going to throw caution to the wind and have a go! Just need to finish your purple creation first... ;-)

That's great! Thanks for joining!

Right. Just looked at the website you posted and it makes perfect sense. I think what I saw on Youtube was a variation of a diamond accordion scrapbook. Feeling a lot more confident now. I'm happy to have a go at most things. Still limited to five swaps at the moment though. I've completed eight, been rated for two and the other six were posted within the last 10 days and all international. If I get stuck making this I have a colleague who is very skilled at paper crafting, so will bat my eyelashes at her lol xx

LOL, you little flirt, you!

Hey, it works every time! Lol

Before I go steaming ahead with this, are the decorated/embellished pages to be fully so, or with a bit of blank space left? Going to pick up some coloured card for the cover on my way home from work today x

Oh, let's leave plenty of blank space so your partner can write award-winning poetry in it, or add photos, etc. Thanks, @Minxy1964

@mizvicky , thanks! It's nice to see your sassy face here, lol!

A bit off-topic, but what do you all think of the maze book that is below the tutorial for our accordion book? I've never seen anything like that! I like it!

Ooh more sassy people! I like it lol. Now I know what I am doing I will make a start this week. Looking forward to this x

TereDiane, the little maze books are some of my favorite mini's to make. they are so much fun.

Lol.... ;-)

I'm watching this. I have to make one first (practice)... I don't wanna disappoint my partner ....

Actually... I joined ... I'm thinking I love the challenge...

I finished mine! It was easy to follow the tutorial, and very fun to add my own embellishments, like some fabric and ribbon. I really enjoyed making this!

I finished mine today and it turned out pretty well! I hope that my partner will like the theme and colors I used. I'm in another mini swap and the way that one is made is nice also.

Finished! One very valuable lesson learnt is that in future I wil get my boyfriend to cut anything that needs to be precisely measured ( he works in engineering ), as it's a bit wonky. Boyfriend was asleep when I cut the card, and I'd rather poke a tiger with a burnt stick than wake him... lol x

Haha Minxy! my husband is the precise cutter in my family. I tell him that he must get the micrometer out to wrap gifts so perfectly. I have more of a um...shall we say creative(read messy) mindset.

I am exactly the same! I' m not allowed to wrap christmas presents any more. He says it's all a matter of geometry and I have no concept. Men..... lol

oh ho. my cuts aren't TOO bad, but I had to master the folds. !/2 I can do...1/3rds? Not so much. But as the tutorial stated, I will tuck wonky into a junk journal where all my experiments flourish.

A Martha Stewart scoreboard and a paper trimmer are the best and most valued friends for cutting, scoring, and measuring. I'd be lost without them. Sooo worth the money.

I use something from Recollections that has a cutter and a scorer. It has a replaceable blade. Got it for half price at Michaels!

I picked up something very similar from The Works the other day.

Woohoo @minxy I'm sending to you!
