    1. I have a big old guillotine cutter that I use just for the chipboard. But before I had that I used a box cutter and a metal ruler.

    Ikzelf heb nu ook alle benodigdheden besteld en hoop dat het snel binnen is, dan kan ik er ook aan beginnen. onze zoon gaat trouwen en dit wil ik dus maken voor hun trouwdag. Je maakt vast heel veel mensen blij. dank je wel.

  12. I used your tutorial to make two albums for graduation gifts, using Graphic 45 "Raining Cats & Dogs". The mom of one of the receipients has asked me to help her make one for her parents 60th Anniversary. Thank you for your help!!

  13. My apologies Terry - I was watching your tutorial on laptop for second time & following printed instructions with a migraine coming on. I appreciate your assistance & will make sure to carefully watch any video with fully functioning grey cells

  14. Terry, thank you immensely for this fabulous tutorial. I am just at the stage of sticking all the print papers to the black cardstock. I found it easier to do it this way. Alas I need to make a new cover as someone looking at the cover over extended it and cracked the cover where it joins the spine on both the front and back cover. This is now about my seventh book that I have made, but I "just" needed to make yours as I loved it so much. Again Thank you.

  15. Hi Anne, I'm very sorry and surprised your cover cracked. I wonder if you would send me a picture so I can see what happened?

  16. Oops sorry Terry, It is now in 3 pieces as I am re-doing it. I know what happened and it is something that you mentioned in your video. I didn't quite leave enough of a gap between the three pieces of cardboard for the covers (like you said to do). I am glad it happened now though and not when I give it to the person that it is for as she lives a long 24 hour drive from my place and I wouldn't be able to fix it after I give it to her.

  20. Hi Terry,
    I have been following your video closely, and it is going together quite well, due to your excellent instructions, but I can't find the dimensions for the oval photo frame sheet. I saw the oval is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2, but what size black paper do you use underneath it? I presume the patterned paper is slightly smaller than the black on.
    Thanks again for your wonderful tutorial.

    1. Hi Cynthia, Yes, I see that I didn't mention this in the video. The 2 pieces on the cut list that measure 5 1/2" x 5" are the pieces you are looking for. You put the patterned paper with the oval on top of those. Use one for the inside front cover and one for page 6. Cut the patterned paper 1/4 inch smaller than the black backing. I've added a note to the video.
      Thank you for your question!

  21. Hi Terry I love this tutorial and the album is beautiful. Is there a tutorial for the booklet that used on page 6? I can't seem to find it. TFS Marie

    1. Hi Mimi, The instructions for the booklet/folder starts at 1:05:26 in the video. Then there is an addendum for putting the patterned papers on here on the blog above. The adendum shows which patterned papers to put where.

      I'm so glad your enjoying the tutorial! ❤️️

  22. Hi Terry,
    Thank you for including a tutorial for your beautiful Mon Amour album. It is the first I have ever done. Now that I’m nearing the completion of it for my daughter’s 1st wedding anniversary, I realize there are no directions for attaching the pages to the hinged binding. I get the front and back covers, But, maybe because I’m a novice, I can’t visualize putting the center pages together. How do we avoid the black on the back sides from showing? Do you attach each page to the hinge and then some how attach the black backs of each page to each other? Help, please.

    1. Hi Chinagal, In the video at 2:14:19 I start putting the pages into the album. Go ahead and watch that part all through before you start doing it. That way you will know ahead of time what is going to happen. The black on the back sides don't show because the back sides are glued together black side to black side. If you are still confused after watching the video, ask again and I'll try to enplane, or show you through a clip in another tutorial. Hope this helps.
