Just wanted to let you know (to whoever is doing it...), THANK YOU for keeping Ginger's channel alive. I purchased an album featuring this tutorial many years ago and I am just now getting a chance to put it together. Crafters are still enjoying Ginger's projects. RIP Ginger. We miss you.
Ginger I have to say that I just love you! You don't go so fast that someone can't follow along, you don't make us sit through real time taping or gluing, and the lighting is always perfect! Great job!
Why have I never thought of using my envelope punch for tabs. So easy to follow tutorial. Thank you. I can see so many of your tutorials I would like to make now xxxx
I jumped for joy when I saw you have a new album....I've made them all...love your tutorials, they're so easy to understand, and so much fun...Thanks so much...Carol
Hi Ginger, I wanted to tell you that I completed a book from this tutorial. I started the book when you put the tutorial out (made the cover, pages and binding). I was busy so I never finished it. But I went to an all day crop at Scrapbook Cafe, by my house, and finally completed it this weekend with the Valentine paper from Simple Stories. Everyone loved it!! I told them all about your fabulous tutorials and I'm not surprised that some of the ladies have seen your videos already. But the book came out so cute, perfect Valentine's Day gift for a friend. Thank you for investing so much time for us. I make your books all the time :)
These are addicting and you’re a sweetheart for teaching us so patiently and completely how to make this fabulous album. I’ve made 3 in less than 2 weeks! They practically put themselves together! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! I just love your how-to tutorials ❤️💕 Hugs from Cathy in Illinois 🤗
I've taken a class in bookbinding and watched many, many videos on making these types of memory/scrapbooks and I wanted to tell you that you are by far the easiest teacher to follow. I've had more "Aha" moments watching your video than I've learned in all the other hours I've spent trying to figure this out. Thank you so much for taking the time to video this and share it! The acronym 'TFS" just didn't seem to do my depth of gratitude justice. Another thing I realized is that this version, with the tabs, of a memory book is A LOT of work. That being said, you explain it clearly and concisely or at leadt the way my brain works because it clicked for me. I'll be subscribing and watching more of your channel. Cheers.
Ginger, I love your videos! I was happy to see you using Tamra Merrill's technique of applying the 1/4" ScorTape to the edges for spacers. I've been doing that for quite some time as well after seeing her video showing it. It really does help give extra hold to the album. Looking forward to seeing Part 2 of this video, love your work.
Hi Ginger, I love your tutorials. They are so easy to follow and understand. I look forward to making one of these albums in the future. Please keep up the great work. Linda :-)
so enjoy doing projects with you. And going to use the file folder method you just created to make me a 12 month personal planner..again thank you & have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Hello Ginger - This is Robyn. First let me say that I Love, LoVe, LOVE your mini albums and tutorials. Your work is beautiful and you make the instructions fun and easy to follow along. Over the months, I have made a few of your scrapbook designs, and would love to video record them to share with you and my friends. Typically, when I make cards and other small projects, I take photos and stream them together; however that is not ideal for showing off the details and interactive elements of a mini album.Can you please provide guidance on how you create your UA-cam videos and the equipment that you use? At the beginning of your Graphic 45 File Folder Mini Album Tutorial Part 1 video, there is a still shot of the base of a tri-pod, an iPad and some round blue device. I sincerely appreciate your assistance. Warm wishes, Robyn
Thank you I have followed you to step three I love this video Thanks great tutorial. I love the part were you zoom the camera to the score board I get confuse with the numbers. Thank You once more HAPPY HOLIDAYS>
Ginger, thank you for sharing your vidéos witch are fabulous. I wonder what you used kraft paper in A4 size. They have the most pliable that cardstock "bazzill" that we use en France and also the thickness of the chipboard sheets. Thank you - Congratulations for these beautiful albums. I looked all projects. merci merci merci Sorry for my English (for videos i come back lot) LOL
Sorry to interrupt, but just started watching and was wondering what paper did you use at the beginning that you scored them all at 5 1/4, or does it matter, as long as it matches all of your papers ?
Nope you could add 6 more hinges.. Keep in mind that it would double the size of your spine and if you want your hinge to be one continuous piece you would need to piece it together. You could always just make two books.. One for her first 6 months and the second for months 7-12. 😀
+My Sisters Scrapper Thank you for the quick response. I'm thinking I'll do two books. It seems like the best option. PS: I really enjoy your videos. I've been binge watching all day
I know you have a video that shows and explains what your husband uses to record the audio for your videos, but I cannot seem to find it. I have spent hours searching. Could you please point me in the right direction.
Not sure, I buy from the big three, Joann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I'll make a point of using Recollections next time. Thanks for the response! I greatly admire your talent! You are an inspiration!!
All paper and cardstock has a grain to it. If you bend it lightly in one direction, then in the other you will feel some resistance on one of the sides...that side goes against the grain and can crack.
Elmeda Gemes Good question. The measurements would be the same. I usually cut the longer measurement first. But to be honest, if you have a directional paper sometimes it doesn’t work out better by cutting the larger measurement first.
Hi Ginger - it's Nicole Normand. I did it! I put your UA-cam video address in the description box and put your name in the credits at the end of my video: ua-cam.com/video/4Yk-ZLbuU_k/v-deo.html.

I've sliced my finger more times than I can count on my trimmer. I love all of your projects - very clear instructions.
I have watch this over and over again. Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ginger I have to say that I just love you! You don't go so fast that someone can't follow along, you don't make us sit through real time taping or gluing, and the lighting is always perfect! Great job!

The cover and binding steps SO helpful. I have had trouble with getting covers right. Love your tips. Will use for my next album!
Oh, I am thrilled! Could not wait - checked the site every day! Thank you so much!
Thank you Ginger for all your tutorials. They are all very well. Especially thanks for your file folder measurements. Manuela
I follow you from Italy. You're too good! I love your finesse and beauty of your own albums. Thank you.

Muchísimas gracias por este tuyo, Ginger, es una maestra realmente didáctica!!!

merci merci merci
Sorry for my English (for videos i come back lot) LOL
Sorry to interrupt, but just started watching and was wondering what paper did you use at the beginning that you scored them all at 5 1/4, or does it matter, as long as it matches all of your papers ?
I used the Kraft cardstock which is what I am using for my base pages. You can use whatever color of cardstock matches the design paper you are using.
Do you get your score tape on amazon ? Thanks for doing a tutorial !
No I actually purchase it at ScrapbookPal.com
Love that heavy duty bone folder. what brand is it?
It's a Teflon bone lifter. There isn't a brand name. I purchased it from scrapadabadoo.com
What else can I use if I don't have the envelop punch
You can just score the papers and then add separate file tabs from a die cut if you want.
Ginger, this is the first time I have seen the hidden hinge
would it be hard to add more folders for a total of 12? I'm expect a little girl and I am looking for a craft book for her first year
Nope you could add 6 more hinges.. Keep in mind that it would double the size of your spine and if you want your hinge to be one continuous piece you would need to piece it together. You could always just make two books.. One for her first 6 months and the second for months 7-12. 😀

+Keana Brown you're very welcome!! Thanks!!
Hi. Where did u buy your graphic 45 paper pad from
Meme Thomas I purchased it online when it first came out.
I know you have a video that shows and explains what your husband uses to record the audio for your videos, but I cannot seem to find it. I have spent hours searching. Could you please point me in the right direction.
Sassy Scrapper My husband did a blog post for me. Here is the link. mysistersscrapper.com/2014/08/creating-video-on-my-sisters-scrapper/
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy and that I imagined all of it.
I am looking forward to meeting you on December 10 at Scraps of Love.
Even though I leave enough space between my chipboard, my cover always cracks and tears. Do you know why it would do that? :(
What brand of card stock do you use? I only use Recollections from Michaels.
Not sure, I buy from the big three, Joann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I'll make a point of using Recollections next time. Thanks for the response! I greatly admire your talent! You are an inspiration!!
+Tina B well I do know that I haven't had any cracking with the solid cardstock from Michaels. It comes in a pack of 50 and its Recollections brand.
Great! Just bought a pack. Looking forward to making another mini after I get done sewing all the purses I promised for Christmas! Yikes!
All paper and cardstock has a grain to it. If you bend it lightly in one direction, then in the other you will feel some resistance on one of the sides...that side goes against the grain and can crack.
Is that an Apple watch?!
Yes
Oh, very pretty! Loved the tutorial! So clever!
I have a 12 X 12 pad I'd like to use. How would I calculate the measurements? With minimal waste?
Elmeda Gemes Good question. The measurements would be the same. I usually cut the longer measurement first. But to be honest, if you have a directional paper sometimes it doesn’t work out better by cutting the larger measurement first.
I absolutely hate it when my trimmer bites me!
