That is fantastic!! Such fiddly work to get the book so tiny. I really admire your dedication.

Thanks. :))) It's actually not as fiddly as it looks... The book is still big enough that you can fold and glue without having to be *too* nimble fingered. The trickiest thing is finding the right paper and glue - I ruined two of them before this copy because the glue was too wet and the paper didn't take the printer ink well.

Now that I have the template worked out and know the right materials, it only takes minutes to make others - I'll have a whole library before long. :-)

That's absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! What a hell of work!
I just saw recently a shop, where you can buy mini books and I loved it.
You've done a brilliant job and makes me want to have a Pros one *g*
I might give it a try, so thank you for the template and the idea. Although I know I end up with a total mess, lol.
Will you share the other books with us once you done them ?

:::HUGS::: Thank you so much. :))) I have to say, my mind is already ticking away at a couple of Pros/Shaw ones... Now that I've got the template figured out, it only takes a few minutes to make one and I have other ideas. ;-) I'll share (if it doesn't bore people.)

There are some *AMAZING* mini book makers out there - I have a dozen volumes on my wish-list that are *incredible*. My book above is in no way comparable... I may try and go smaller and use better materials at some point but I doubt I'll get to the level of quality and realism I've seen on the web.

Oh that is wonderful! You are so clever at this. It made my mind reel just reading the instructions!

Aw, thanks. :))) I know my instructions are a bit intimidating but those vids I point to show how easy it all is... I hope you won't be scared off from trying one of your own!

:::HUGS::: Thank you. Most of the fun was figuring it all out - I love the challenge of a good puzzle.

I can understand that; that part can be great fun.

This is awesome, now I want to make one for myself. Good job!

Thanks. :))) Please *do* give it a try - I know my instructions are intimidating but it's really quite easy. All you have to lose is a couple of pieces of paper and a little time. ;-)

Your icon is AWESOME, BTW. LOL!

XD I think it's the only three icon I have. I also loled at yours long and loud. (In my head... I might be at work right now.)

I just need an idea for the scrapbooking thing. It's surely a lot cheaper than making a real scrapbook, which is all to the good.

edit: OMG wedding book. A lil' one that they could hang on their christmas tree.

Done.

I'm pulling out all my Three icons for you... ;-)

That was the original appeal of the project... And I wasn't finding photo albums for the action figures in the correct size anyway, even if I *wanted* to pay money.

edit: OMG wedding book. A lil' one that they could hang on their christmas tree.

:))) Funny you should mention that... That light blue page with the picture of the building and the rose...? Kind of inspired by a wedding theme: The pics are of GDL attending Barrowman's wedding, the building is a swanky hotel that caters to gay weddings (which I think is awesome,) and when I put the page together, I was thinking along the lines of a memory page of fancy date/romantic weekend thing.
