Miss Carol, this is an amazing beautiful project. My most favorite elements are the Cameo's and how you made the lady look like she was wearing the cameo by pulling the ribbon. I'm just in awe of your work. You deserve many 🤗🤗🤗🤗. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As always I love your attention to detail. This album is beautiful. I pray that you and yours are healthy and staying safe. Thank you for your videos especially during this time. Makes me feel not quite so shut in. A ray of sunshine.

Hi Carol. Yes it is always great to be in the craft room with you, always enjoy the time we have together. You did a wonderful job on the album. You always give me great ideas for my own projects that I'm doing. I also have that great big bag of pancake mix from Costco. I remember cutting out the cut outs from the Eatons and Sears catalogue, and playing for hours with them. Made whole household with them. LOL. Love saskatoons picked pails and pails of them when I was a kid. Yum. Love butterflies, they are so delicate and colourful. Try to use them a lot in the things I make. Hope you are staying well . This staying home doesn't bother me because I found once you retire from working out side them home. Its easy to stay at home and enjoy being there. Then you get to craft more. Stay save and healthy and I will be waiting for your next video. Love the long ones. Love Donna

Amazing work as always, Carol! Love everything you make. Hugs and stay safe, dear friend. xo

Hi Carol, I really love all the details in this album. It's frenchie, its vintage, it's romantic... I love the beautiful soft colors for one thing, the butterflies in all sizes, shapes and styles...and the little bike on the front cover...that is so cute. Also I must say that I enjoyed listening to your stories about your family: the leather jacket and when you lived in the woods when you started your family. It is so interesting to hear you tell us about it. Glad you are all doing OK in your family. God Bless you!

Carol I sooo love watching you and listening to you chat. I am making a wedding album for another niece, and I wish I had half your talent. Love love love your stuff. Take care and stay healthy stay safe. Much love Allie

You will have to bear with me on making many comments here. I learned from someone that edited comments do not post correctly so that channel artist suggests making new comments rather than editing. I just had to tell you that your crackle paint hinges are gorgeous. It is all those little detailed touches that make your artistic pieces so incredible. I am also a "slant person". I like the added interest caused by not having everything precisely straight. Some great minds like things that way, but I like to mix-it-up! For example, if I have matching colored totes, I mix the bottoms and the tops so that each individual tote has one colored bottom and a different colored top. I guess I see the world differently. I do not conform on some things. I guess it is an area where I defy perfectionism, though I am definitely a perfectionist. Does that make sense? I think there will be many comments of mine, but your 54 hours of work deserve many comments. My dad called me "windy" for a reason. Good thing I am not there to talk out loud. LOL

I am so glad that you made this album your own by adding lace, pearls, etc. You have your own style and I think you need to keep that no matter that you are using Clare's (I have no idea what way she spells her name) excellently laid out album design. I agree that the paper is beautiful. I have gotten very into vintage and Shabby Chic of late and I also like lavender. I hope I get better at the ink edging that you make look so simple to do. I recently invested in some inks so I am learning. Everything takes practice. You are not able to do it all automatically just because you purchased a product. I will need to practice on scrap paper a lot before I edge the papers I use for my first project. Even then using papers that I have a lot of would be wise at first. I am so thrilled to be watching this album development. I am thinking I might possibly be able to create an album sometime now. If I do I will check out My Creative Spirit for sure.

Thanks for teaching me how to make my own inked paper with a stamped image resist. I just invested in a bunch of inks...five oxide and a set of small, archival ink pads. The latter will allow me to use different colors of stamped text or small images on my mixed media. I do have about four of the regular distressed inks with reinkers from long ago too. I will have to experiment with blending the various inks as you did. You make it look so easy. I suppose I could do the same thing with embossed, small, text stamps too when appropriate. I have been trying art journaling now while sheltered-in. Things are really no different for me except that I do not check my mail daily here in the apartment complex anymore. I check it about every 8 to 10 days. I am not risking exposure if at all possible. I still shop once every two weeks, but my medical appointments are now by phone and I have canceled the lesser essential ones. I wish there were not those that are complacent about COVID19. I guess they are everywhere but the streets, I am told, have far less traffic and the grocery stores have far fewer people. I see the complacent ones walk past my window numerous times a day without seeming to care about the others in the apartment complex. I guess they just can't be cooped up or need to check the stores several times a day to see what is back on the shelves. I guess it makes them less fearful. Hard to say.

I watched the video in installments. (I did start over today lol) and just finished. Stunning, stunning, stunning! Bravo!!!

HEY how did I miss a video????? Can't watch before work this morning...I would have had to have gotten up at 1 am instead of 3 am!!! I will have to wait until tonight...one of my favorites Movie time ... !!! Hahaahaa.

I was just going to write and say that your health, as always, is on my heart and here you are!!!!!! YAY! I can now go grab another cup of coffee and visit you in your craft room. I cannot wait to see all that My Creative Spirit has to offer. BTW, I love the bicycle! Your creativity and skills astound me, dear friend! I just realized that I missed one of your videos a month ago too. It is the bonus round! I can drink coffee for a long time while we visit! Do you have any truffles to share?

I still have 40 minutes or so to watch, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Amid watching your video I worked on steps to my art journaling project and let it dry on its own in between. I much prefer that if I am patient enough to do so since I am not sure that inhaling heated products is always the best even though they are non-toxic and acid-free. I still have some final ephemera that I want to add to my project and may add a little more coloring too. I just am not sure yet. That too will wait until tomorrow. I want to keep reading my murder mystery this evening since I fell asleep reading last night. Have a good evening, my dear friend! Thanks for sharing your truly magnificent album. I am now thinking about getting a fuse tool. I will have to evaluate whether I would use it enough though. I am not an album maker and I think I am currently content to stay with the art I do. I need to return to some scrapbooking for a time and I would like to keep on with my mixed media art journaling. It is my something new. It will be a challenge for you to showcase albums....something new for you too!! I know you are always up for a challenge though. May the Lord keep you and your hubby and family and friends safe. Hugs and smiles.

So glad to see you. I just love the way you layout your videos. More so love your personality, you truly shine volumes of fun, joy, peace, trust, faith, love. Can you share the link to the clear material u used with the fuse tool? I’m Gonna have to get some white staz on. Your black stamped images are fab looking. And of course all of your design layouts just keep getting better

I’m praying you are staying inside and safe during this time of testing.

I am going to make lots of comments because I can't watch the vid in one shot. If I remember correctly, you made me buy the fuse tool - just saying.
