Paper crafting , mini albums, memory albums are my favorite to make. I like making BIG albums. The more pages the better. I have been building albums for several years, stemming from owning my own craft store that I started 10 years ago. My go to papers are Stamperia, Ciao Bella and Graphic 45. Please don’t laugh at my videos, I am not the best at making them and I make mistakes (lots of them). I try and use them as learning experiences. 🤪. I sell most of my albums at local craft fairs, so they go fast. If you are interested in one, please email me at Mymessyfingers55@gmail.com. or go to my Etsy page, mymessyfingers.etsy.com and you can purchase them there.
I want to have fun making my albums. I enjoy posting them on UA-cam. If you have a “suggestion or advice “ about what I post, please do so privately via my email at mymessyfingers55@gmail.com

I love this so well done❤
Thank you Natasha! It was fun to make. ❤️❤️❤️
You have used this collection beautifully🩷
Hi Natasha, thank you for your kind words. 🥰🥰🥰
Again a wauw album, you make them every time so beautiful, I'm in love with your work ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this page and the paper is gorgeous
I am so glad you like it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wauw, i saw a few of your albums and they are just AMAZING, Sooooo beautiful!! So, i am gonna give myself a late Christmas gift and gonna buy some stamperia papers and try to make a few albums. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
I am so glad you like them. Please, let me know if you have any questions
@mymessyfingers i will, thank you. 😍
I got it!!! I cant wait for your ideas to add to mine mini!!
Wonderful! I almost have it done but due to back surgery it will a couple of weeks before I can post ❤❤❤
Magnifique ce folio avec cette collection. J essaie de le faire😅 en inch.merci pour le partage
I am so glad you like it. ❤❤❤
Love this album. Beautiful paper. Jeanette, New Zealand
Hi Jeanette!! I am happy you like what I did with the paper. ❤❤❤
Gorgeous paper!!!! I love the colours, and your dies compliment the paper so well!
Thank you! I think the dies add a bit of whimsy to the design. 🥰
Wunderschön geworden!! Habe es mit anderem Papier nachgebastelt. 💓
Wonderful! I am glad it inspired you ❤❤❤❤
Hi Charlie I have started this album but don’t understand that nearly all your base papers are different sizes if the album is 9x9 shouldn’t the bases be 8 7/8 x 8 7/8 , can you please clarify the size of bases pages. Thanks 🙏
Hi Beverly, Thank you for the catch. This album actually measured 10 x 9. I have made the correction in the description field. The only thing wrong was the 9 x 9 in that field. The measurements given are correct. If you made your album already and it is 9 x 9, just make a 1 in adjustment in the height of the pages. The widths are the same.
Thank you for sharing!❤
You are most welcome Lorena. Have a grand day. ❤❤❤
Hello, I can’t seem to find the tutorial for building the album , unless you didn’t do it .thanks
Hi Beverly, You can always find my playlists on my main channel page by looking at each companies list ( Stamperia) and look for the actual playlist you are searching for. But, here is the link to the playlist: ua-cam.com/video/gKxoUuyF7-g/v-deo.html
I think I watched the whole album about 4 times already I love love love it❤it’s the best make I’ve seen and I’ve watch a few, I’m buying the pads and card-stock bit by bit, I’m practicing making the folio while the im gathering the everything I need. Did I say I love love love it,thank you, you are gifted xxx
Michelle, thank you for your kind words. I am very happy you love the collection and the album. Let me know if you have any questions while making it ❤❤❤
Just finished making this beautiful album with amazing papers. It has many unique elements and designs. I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner though. If you do decide to make it, I would say to watch each video first. There is no cut list which would have been very helpful.
Thank you for the complement. I do agree, any tutorial's should be viewed once to make sure you understand the process. As for a cut list, I do not provide them. It is an arduous process. I do my best, using my ruler, to insure that all the measurements are understood. If ever a question, do not hesitate to ask. 😊
Just wondering why you cut the page to 8 1/4. I didn’t like the space it left, and cut it to 8 3/4 and it’s fine.
Make any changes you want however, if you didn’t put the spacer in next to the fold line that Gussett line you’re going find that the pages I build have quite a bit of a build up to them and it’s going to encroach in on that 5/8 of an inch gusset and your page isn’t going to lay flat. That’s why I cut it at 8 1/4 so that my buildup, which could be anywhere from an eighth to a full quarter of an inch with multiple pages on top of that little 3/8 strip that I put in so that it is my guide marker not to get close to that 5/8 of an inch gusset/ hinge. that’s why I cut it at 8 1/4 but make whatever changes you want but I think you’re going be disappointed if you find your pages aren’t laying over flat.
You are such a talent. This is absolutely beautiful. 🦋 🦋🦋
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
What is the length of the pages. I played over and over and never heard you say it??
Hello, according to the video, they are 8 7/8 inches. they are the same height as the centerpiece that was placed down to cover the spine 8 7/8. I even used a ruler to illustrate the page measurements
Trop long
???
🤩Another stunning Stamperia collection being used to create an amazing album! Thank you 🎨❤🎨
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Did you photocopy the artwork?
Hi! I am not sure of your question. There are no photocopies in this album
Hi what's the little thing you are using to cut the tap please?
Hi… it is a tape and tear tool that is sold at Scrap N Create. I think there is a link in the description section
This is so pretty! Love that paper collection. 😀
Thank you Laurie 🥰🥰🥰
Oh il est magnifique ❤😊
Thank you !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another stunner of course! I have found many Mintay collections to be gorgeous but difficult to work with when creating an album. Thank you for the expert choices you made to showcase images and enjoy the interactive features. Thank you again for your generosity of spirit and inspiration!
Hi Charles, Yes, Mintay papers can be a challenge. I simply focus on elements on each 12 x 12 and cut according. It takes the stress out of cutting into beautiful images. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words.
Brilliant idea! I always buy too much paper, and the leftovers aren't enough for a large album. These folio-albums make beautiful gifts.
I'm glad you found my idea helpful! I too had to come up with a smaller project to use left over papers. I agree, they do make great gifts. ❤️❤️❤️
Charlie. All your designs are so beautiful. Thank you so much for inspiring us. 🌺🌺🌺
You are very welcome. I am glad you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow. It’s perfectly wonderful. I’m glad it’s a custom order because if it was for sale, it would send me running for my credit card so that I could order it from you and I promised myself. I was gonna be a little bit better in 2025.. but if you do anything like this again, I’m your buyer!!
Linda you made me laugh. Thank you for you kind words ❤❤❤❤
Charlie could you share where you get your long edge dies?
The scallop die is an unbranded die from TEMU. It was a set of 4 an is no longer available. The die for the pull out cards is from Anna Griffin. Hope this helps
So special, your creativity and attention to detail is phenomenal .
Thank you Linda! I am pleased you like it ❤️❤️❤️
Such beautiful work. I’m so excited to receive this beautiful piece of art. Charlie never disappoints and it will home some of my grandmother’s recipes. Charlie’s precious one-of- a-kind albums will hold your family’s most cherished photographs that you will want to view again and again.
Gosh, thank you Angie. It was a pleasure doing this for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful mini album! Lots of nice work. Well done!
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️
I‘m a non English native speaker. I don’t know what is „tieback“ or if I spell it correctly? Could you write it down correctly for me, please? Thank you for your help.
It is a whit shipping envelope and the material is called TYVEK. You can find on Amazon 😊
@ Wow! Never in my life had I spelled it correctly. Thank you very much for your appreciated help!
@@mymessyfingersI just found bracelets that are made by the material Tyvek and are already precut in 1 inch width!! An around 12 in long. In several colors.
Hello, if you were following my instructions to make that album, those strips need to be 2 inches wide. If you can find pre-cut 2 inch wide strips great otherwise you’ll need to buy an envelope so that you can cut those 2 inch wide strips. You can also find those envelopes at stationary stores like Staples.
@ Hi again. Yes, I noticed that you used 2 inches width. But I thought I could make them a bit narrower like my hinges are also always 1 inch width. But as I can tell from your reaction, you wouldn’t recommend 1 inch width. Will have a look for 2 inches width. Again, thank you!🙏
So very beautiful
Thank you so much. Happy New Year ❤️❤️❤️
@ A happy & healthy new year to you as well! 😊
This album is very beautiful !
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
Charlie, this album is absolutely beautiful!! Cant wait to see what you will be doing next year!
Thank you so much. I had reservations on how I was making this. I a glad you like it. Happy Holidays ❤❤❤
Gorgeous creation
Thank you so much Joyce ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Holidays to you as well!
Very nice album! Love Scrap a Create, their packing and shipping is awesome. Has become a go to for me!!
I agree, Scrap a Create is great!. it has been a pleasure working with them this year.
This is so lovely! I’m not usually a fan of a folio, but this one is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. 🌺🌺🌺
So glad you enjoyed it! I loved this quick one day project. 🌺🌺🌺
Beautiful work on this album! I purchased the collection but it will definitely be an after Christmas project!
Thank you Annette. Good luck on your upcoming beautiful album
Hi Charlie, I think the measurements for the top & bottom flaps are not correct unless I’m cutting them wrong 😂
I have edited video but the measurements are 6 x 8.5. they need to match the width of the base page.
Podrías poner las medidas en pantalla?gracias
A continuación se muestran las medidas: Aglomerado 2- 6 x 8,5, 3- 1 x 8,5, 1- 2 x8,5. Caídas de agua: lado izquierdo 8 - 3,5 x 5,5, marcando 1/2 pulgada en el lado corto, cascada del lado derecho -4 - 4 x 6,5, marcando 1/2 pulgada en el lado corto. Solapas superiores: 8,5 x 6 con puntuación de 0,5 y 0,75 en el lado corto. Solapas inferiores de 4,25 x 6 con puntuación de 0,5 y 0,75 en el lado largo. El resto del papel se corta para ajustarse
Beautiful!!!!❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your videos and tips I appreciated, I just recently started making albums, we'll I had made one 😂, any why I prepared other 3 as your instructions but I found out that outside paper have ripped and know I wonder the importance of the paper, everything I did as you so I guess I just the paper. Or there is something else you think I can use? I did use michaels paper for the outside cover
It's important to use a sturdy paper for the outside cover of your albums. That is why I state to use 100# weight as thinner paper will tear easily.
