    This album, out of 8 1/2 x 11, is a wonderful way to use that size paper! I'd never thought you could get as much real estate out of it, as you could with 12x12. LOVE the tutorial.

    Looks like I'm making my very first mini album! Your explanation on how to cut each of the pages was very clear and I love the diagrams! It makes it easy for me to see how everything folds and comes together nicely :) So far I've just cut and scored the 5 pages but that was a breeze thanks to your tutorial and I only stuffed up twice so far which is pretty good for me haha

    This has been the easiest cascading tutorial that I have seen so far. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing this. I really wanted to make one as a baby album and you have made it possible for me to get started. I will have to go to the country craft site and see what babyboy and babygirl packets they have so that I can place an order to get started. Thank you thank you thank you. Again thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family and continue to stay safe.

      They are added like a waterfall. Start 1/2” in from the left edge of the spine and glue down. Add the remaining pages the same way as a waterfall except for the last. Add the last’s pages 1/2” tab directly on top of the tab of the previous page, essentially kind of backwards. That way no tabs are visible before or after the first and last page. You should have 1/2” gussets before and after the pages and also inbetween.

"Happy mistake" lol

    Hi. I love this, I’m just not sure how you joined the pages to the album. Just wondering if you glue down the half inch and have the quarter inch up from the spine and then the pages. If this is how you do it, is there a fair bit of wear on the quarter inch piece. Do you have a tutorial as to how to join it that I could source please. Great album!

    • @michelleallenacreativeoper6112
      @michelleallenacreativeoper6112 3 роки тому +1

      You are right. They are built into the page scores. The 1/2" score on the left side of the diagram is the hinge that attaches directly to the spine. The 1/4" score is a "give space" that just gives a little extra room for the pages to turn, essentially lifting it off of the spine. I attach the first hinge 1/2" in from the edge of the spine, then layer the rest of the pages after that, lining up the edges of the next piece. I have never had any problem with the 1/4” pieces, but I use Artisan Cardstock and it is extremely durable. In this tutorial ua-cam.com/video/NKAfJlxlY2k/v-deo.html at 1:26 I start putting the pages in the album, so you can see how I do it. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking, I'm always happy to help.
