Fall 2011 Mini Album Tutorial (For Sale)

THIS POST TO STAY AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL NOVEMBER 25, 2011

It took me an entire day to figure out how to work everything out with setting my videos privately and to make room for them in my computer (my disk space was completely full and it took me 5 hours to clean everything out).  Anyway, it's all finally done.

You can also see an introductory video showing the interactive inside pages of this album on my previous post HERE

You can now purchase my Fall 2011 Mini Album Tutorial PDF instructions as well as my video instructions for $4.95 by clicking on the "Buy Now" button below:

 

 

Fall 2011 Mini Album Preview

10-28-2011 UPDATE:  This mini album has a pdf and video tutorial for sale HERE

 

Been MIA for a while now since my kids after school activities have taken over my world.  I have added "personal driver" to my resume since that is what I do every weekday afternoon after homework time.

This is normally my busiest time of the year and with all the holidays coming up I have a number of requests for workshops and classes.  Not to mention I will be doing craft fairs in November and December and I have also been asked to be a guest blogger at Big Picture Scrapbooking next month (will be doing something really fun for that).

I am also in the process of finishing both written and video instructions for my Fall 2011 mini album.  I will teach a local class in Lexington, MA in November but I wanted to have the instructions and class available to anyone out there so be on the lookout for this either at the end of this week or beginning of next week. 

Here is a photo of the mini album

And here is a video showing you all the inside of this fun interactive album

 

 

So I have been creating up a storm even though I have not been posting anything.  Just know that even though I will not be having a lot of time to write frequent posts on my blog, when I do post, I will have something amazing to share with you all.

Stay tuned this week for a few projects I made at one of my last workshops....
