These are fantastic. I was so thrilled making them I stayed up all night! Little things excite me. LOL They helped me organize my cards so well and now I can make several different kind of cards before I need them. I am going to make more to also help me with card blanks and card tops.

I would love to see you make these out of 8.5 × 11 piece of paper. I know that it may make the width or t he height different, but I mainly have 8.5×11 paper not 12×12 in my stash.

I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed your YouTube channel! There are so many things that I could comment on that it would take forever. I’ll just mention a few…1- I love your personality and down to earth way of things. Because of that it almost immediately takes the stress away. 2. Your sense of humor…3. your amazing way of simplifying things. 4. Easy access instructions. 5. Your amazing stamps! I could go on and on!
Because I am so New and just finding you I am constantly finding new products. I just finished (at Christmas time) making a Waterfall mini album box as a gift for my dearest friend of 33 years. Together we have raised 14 kids (her 7 and my 7)! I wrote a poem of memories to put inside the box. She LOVED IT! My husband was even impressed! Thank you so much! You truly have been blessed with a special gift!

I love these! I never would have thought of making the miniature version of a magazine holder! You are such a good teacher! You make everything so easy to understand. You also make it look easy which makes me think I can do it. Thank you so much for helping so many of us enjoy things with paper, etc. I am so excited to see what other things you come up with. You are amazing and talented!

I love this card holder….just what I needed….can’t wait to make some. You asked about other sizes….yes I would love it if you did the 5×7 and the 6×6 because a lot of my birthday cards I make are the 5×7.......
Thank you for all you do!!!!!

I LOVE THESE!!! Just what I need to keep my ‘to send’ cards from my ‘keep because I love and can’t part with them!’ cards. I re-make some cards again if I love them so much, and them I can send! Plus I’m re’organizing my 2 craft rooms, or rather 1 craft room, and my ‘old’ dining room. I didn’t eat in it, so why waste it?? It’s making an awesome room for my work desk, and stuff I need within an arms length when putting my cards together. I thought that was pretty smart of me : ) I enjoy all your videos, have learned so much, you give me so much inspiration, and have helped me get my ‘mojo’ back! Thank you and Vinnie for coming into my home and giving me ‘smiles in my day’.

I got my order of Fashionista paper today, I was super excited. I plan on making the little lunch bag album for one of my granddaughters and she loves shoes. While on vacation once in Chicago she wanted to go into Jimmy Choo to look at the shoes ( she was only two). In March she will be thirteen and still loves shoes thinks she has to have a new pair of shoes with every outfit she gets (drives her mother crazy). Thank-you so much for having this paper she will love the book. I also made her 16 yr.old sister the composition recipe book for her birthday in June she’ll be the big cook in the family.

I love this. And I love the idea of making lots of cards this year. You explain things so well and make it look simple although I’m sure I will need to watch the video as I go and hit the pause button often. Thanks Maymay for all you do; so glad I found your site!
