It's Called a Tower of Mini Albums | Layered Accordion Tutorial

[@marciahawkins1442]

This is beautiful, as always, Jamie! I love that this can be used to highlight a birthday. It's just gorgeous! I can see using this over and over and over when you need to highlight a story with lots of photos. LOVE IT!

[@JamiePate]

Yes to the over and over again. Those are some of my favorite projects. The littlest thing can change it up and give it a fresh look. Plus...I did not even add anything to the back panels...so there is more room for more memories. Thank you, Marcia!

[@vintagebaby63]

Always a pleasure to watch you create. ❤

[@JamiePate]

Thank you SOOO much for watching. And I do hope it creates a little something for you to want to make as well. Love the power of creativity. Have a lovely day!!!

[@tatteredbookboutique]

Absolutely precious ♥️. You make it okay to journal/scrap a day in your life! And this was so unique and sweet. My son on the spectrum who is 10. He absolutely adores plant classes and sometimes I take too many pictures on those days. This is a great idea for one of those times! Love it!❤

[@JamiePate]

Do you ever paint right along side of him? I bet you have some wild talent. This little project here is good for so many reasons: it's easy. It shows off our favorite papers (always a bonus.) And it's quick to hold photos that might not have made it somewhere else. And yes to lots of picture taking!

[@tabithasloat7639]

Thank you for sharing! I’m going to try this for Graduation gifts.😍

[@JamiePate]

Oh yes! What a great idea. I was just thinking, how many ways can we gift this? So many ways!!! Thank you kindly for watching and supporting this channel.

[@shanners2762]

Jamie this is stunning! I am so inspired to make one (or a dozen 😜)

[@JamiePate]

I know right? All the enthusiasm here has me wanting to make more too. What a great thing to have for ourselves, and or to give away. Thank you so much for watching!

[@nancysinger7494]

Beautiful as always. Lovely way to start my day watching a Jamie pate you tube! So fun so pretty. Thanks!

[@JamiePate]

Well that's just plain kind of you to say. I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching! Hope you will make some.

[@FLCindy]

Absolutely adorable little mini-album. I haven't made one of these in so long, but I love the idea of creating something like this to put in a pocket on a layout. 49 & Market is one of my all time favorite papers too. I just might have to skip chores and do something fun for a change. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

[@JamiePate]

Oh no! Now I am encouraging the skipping of chores!!! LOL!!! Ha! Who am I kidding...the chores will always be there. Hope you had fun. Thank you!!!

[@peggyhughes1994]

I absolutely love this! 💖 Yet another project to add to my to-do list. 😝

[@JamiePate]

And I just love that. Love having a list of things wanting to be made. Hope you can find some making time soon. Thank you for watching. Have a lovely day.

[@PM_1937]

Gorgeous. Love that size, perfect for adding so many photos and journaling.

[@JamiePate]

Yep! Exactly. Have forgotten about some of these mini album makes. This was a fun rediscovery. Thank you, as always, Cici, for watching.

[@barbarawilliams744]

beautiful! already planning to scraplift for a b'day card for my youngest daughter and as a pocket in my g'kids albums for a spring break trip to the beach that they just came back from. thanks for the inspo and have a wonderful day!

[@JamiePate]

Absolutely love hearing that. What great uses for an easy insert like this. Thank you so much for sharing how you will use, Barbara!

[@robinvogelsang5535]

WOW, adorable!! Of course the paper is beautiful, too. I think the white space really makes that one photo pop, she is such a doll, she needs NO embellishment! I just did a rather involved accordion book for my husband’s birthday last month and had an AWFUL time with the pocket!! I tried to put a partial back on it, big mistake!! The tag kept getting stuck trying to put it back in the pocket, now I know better!! Thanks for such a helpful, and gorgeous, video!! Happy almost spring (weather😏)!🙂🌺❤️

[@JamiePate]

You are not wrong, she needs NO embellishment. She embellishes any room she is in, that one. And oof to those projects that become more complicated than we mean. Been there many a time. Hoping you are pleased at this point with the outcome. This one's pretty easy. Let me know if you try it out.

[@susancourtney7527]

Still working on my Hawaii album and this will be such a great insert to hold some of the MANY photos! Thank you Jamie.

[@JamiePate]

That's a perfect idea, to use this as an insert! Love that you will be doing that. I keep thinking about how to incorporate this idea in my storyline album, in my planner pages. Or even a card make for a special occasion. Thank you so much for making, Susan.

[@debiv7834]

Beautiful! Your granddaughter and the mini book!❤😍

[@JamiePate]

Love adding the fun elements to these things. Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@brandiepoulin1771]

Omg this is adorable! Love the pics, white space and clusters! I must try it! 😍❤

[@JamiePate]

White space. Clusters. and photos, oh my! Yes to it all. I do hope you try. It's SOOO easy. Let me know how it goes for you.

[@trinaneumann2325]

Oh man! I love this!!! I have been getting bored with craft/stamp videos on utube and seriously I love this and can’t wait to try it!! I love you’r videos and hope more Heidi Swappers show makes on utube! I will tag you when I make one! So fun!

[@JamiePate]

Well hello there and welcome!!! Have you discovered the Memory Planner walk throughs on this channel too? And yes, please tag me!!! Would love to see. Thank you!

[@mazzholmes2086]

I always look forward to your videos, Jamie, I really enjoy watching you create. Love your mini album, you’ve inspired me to make one…thank you ❤️😊

[@JamiePate]

Isn't it just so easy looking? I hope so. Not to mention the panels on the back side! Lots of possibilities. Thank you for your kind words. Makes me happy you have found a little inspiration here. Have a lovely day.

Works great I have an old cuttlebug and works like a dream now

[@JamiePate]

That is so super awesome!

[@allisonbarrows4287]

ogmosh this is beautiful! Loving this little album. Thanks for sharing!

[@JamiePate]

Just so easy to make. And use up those scrap half cuts of papers of ours. Enjoy!

[@marthastrickland7148]

Wonderful album Jamie! What a wonderful time together. Thank you for sharing 😊

It's so easy to make, Martha! Hope you make some too! I know you have all manner of 49...lol!!! Have a most lovely week.

I am printing my Granddaughter’s prom pics. I think I shall make this as a keepsake for her! Can’t wait to get them and get started! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@JamiePate]

@@marthastrickland7148 Oh that is lovely! Prom books were some of my most favorite minis to make. You got a lucky granddaughter there. Hope she knows this.

[@marthastrickland7148]

Oh my goodness! This turned out great! She gave me 6 pics, one with her date and the others with friends. I know she will love it! 💕

[@mbgirl8283]

Can’t wait to do this! Thank you!

[@JamiePate]

Ohhh...I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching. Hope you will make lots.

[@amytrees1]

My gosh! I love this! Thank you.

[@JamiePate]

You are so very welcome. It's just so easy. Let's make more!!! 😆

[@dragonseahorse]

Thank you so much! So beautiful and love it.

[@JamiePate]

Hope you will make lots! Thank you for watching. Forgive me if you have commented before...but are you new here? If so, glad you are here. Have a lovely day.

[@jenniferoja9566]

Love this idea!

[@JamiePate]

Will you be making lots of these too? I am sure this girl will find herself making another today. Thank you so much for watching, Jennifer!!!

[@shellyp8731]

So pretty! 🌸 What a lovely storybook! Love the soft colors and texture. Do you keep these books or do you share/give them to your family members?

[@JamiePate]

Yes! I keep. I give. All the above. I really do try to preach the give away part of our making. I need now to make one for my parents celebrating the meeting of their great grandson. Make and give, Shelly! That's the happy way. LOL!!!

[@denisefabian5830]

Love this...but, but, but...where'd you get that tower? Gotta find one. I want to move some of my mini books out of my studio for others to enjoy. Edited: Nevermind...found one that's perfect!!

[@JamiePate]

Where did you find one? And I have no idea where mine is from I have had it for so long. Probably a vintage type store. Maybe even Hobby Lobby...haha! I just don't even know. Isn't that lame.

[@denisefabian5830]

@@JamiePate America’s shopping place: Amazon. I saw one on Etsy but it didn’t have the mesh.

[@JamiePate]

@@denisefabian5830 Enjoy filling that baby up!

[@sandrabarrientos556]

Cute album. What size did you cut your photos?

[@JamiePate]

Well now, that is a good question...I'm a gonna need to go look as I do not think I cropped them very traditionally...The first one is 3x5. The other one of the girl is 3x4. I think I printed it 3x5 then trimmed it down further. There is no rhyme or reason as so why I did that. LOL. The other smaller images are 2x2 with a border left on them. Let me know if you have any further questions.

[@ritagraham]

As usual, so pretty. And as we used to say in the 80s in my journalism class: “white space is beautiful. “

[@JamiePate]

White space is good. I use to be such a big proponent of that. Thank you for the reminder. I really do appreciate that! Thanks too for watching.
