Denise Miles Thanks so much !!!!!

[@missiefavinger6801]

+Denise Miles Thank you so much for this! I have made several of these and always re-watch the video and was just in the process of typing up the dimensions and was reading the comments and came across yours - again THANK YOU!! Don't you just love Ginger's projects? She is amazing :D

[@mysistersscrapper]

+Missie Favinger thanks ladies!!

[@joeywd2885]

+Denise Miles - Thank you so much. You are amazing and so generous. It is truly appreciated. I am new to this and this is so helpful. Have a wonderful day!

[@akileniya]

hi Denise, thank u for the dimensions...

[@diansolomon614]

8 yrs after you made this video I am just getting into making folios. I have watched numerous tutorials & have found yours to be exactly what I wanted. Thank you for being to the point without all the jibber jabber.

[@kateconrad7463]

I’ve lost count of how many tutorials I have watched trying to learn this technique. I love waterfalls but have always been intimidated by the process. This video has given me the courage to finally try making one for a mini album. You’re an excellent instructor. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. I just love this little project !

[@mysistersscrapper]

kate conrad I’m glad you liked it!! Thanks for the nice comments! Also another tip for waterfalls is place your waterfall base in your score board so you can use the edges of the scoreboard to help when adding the waterfall pages.

[@kateconrad7463]

Thanks for the tip - I’ll give that a try.🙂

[@marykbennett8158]

Exemplary demo: Like the concise, business-like directions without stating the obvious; measurements are clear; materials are prepared and ready to use; music is used instead of unnecessary chi-chat . Very professionally done - one of the best I’ve seen. Thank you for not wasting my time while presenting such a lovely item!

[@DianeSturlinXX]

Here it is 6 years later and this is still my go-to video whenever I want to make a quick little memory book folio! Thank you so much your instruction is so clear.

[@hollyl18436]

love this tutorial...big family, lots of nieces and nephews, new babies...sometimes cash and a card just doesn't seem to be good enough...this may be my new go to gift. thanks so much for an easy but beautiful idea!!!

[@caridavila2071]

I am new to the paper craft world. Junk journals and the like. I just found your channel and am in love! I need to go out and get all of the neat tools you have so I can make the beautiful items you make! Thank you for all of your easy to follow instructions!

[@Clevercraftychick]

Yet another great tutorial you have created for us viewers. I put this folio together in about an hour. Thanks for sharing your ideas. And putting together the measurements and doing the video. I know that I appreciate it greatly.

[@rosedowling3690]

I know this was a few years ago but I hope you still get the comments... What a GREAT tutorial the time you spent explaining everything was so helpful, this is one of the best tutorials I have watched Thank you soooo much for your time showing this progect

[@marydecker5445]

You are an amazing teacher. You give clear, crisp directions that are so easy to follow. Your tutorial is such a gift! Thank you very, very much for giving of your time and talents. I appreciate it so much!

[@JennySmafield]

[@mysistersscrapper]

You're welcome!

[@donnacobb701]

Best tutorial of this type of project ever. The waterfall finally demystified !

[@janet257]

An oldie but a goodie! Thanks for the easy to follow directions. 💗

[@audralake6273]

Ooooooooooooh!!!! Score board. DUH. It took me until just now to realize what those lines on the board are for! Thank you!

[@Horodgers]

Best video ever! Instructions were clear and short. Learned a lot! Thank you!

[@antm64]

Thanks for making this tutorial so easy to follow. You chose all the right places to speed up and gave us helpful details and hints. Loved seeing this folio created using different paper collections on the G45 blog.

[@peggywelch8625]

One of the easiest waterfalls tutorial to follow . Thank you !

[@kandrews6356]

Yes, I admit it... I'm watching this OBVIOUSLY really late in the game, so-to-speak, but such a cute little Folio Booklet. I can see so many uses for it. I love the techniques you used, the colors you chose to go together, and the detail of putting it together. If you're still reading these comments, it looks as though you had a little 'cheat sheet' with measurements... if you'd be willing to share those, I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial, and please stay safe. It was really enjoyable watching this come together.

[@menashearer9125]

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I will try again. It is such a lovely tutorial. :)

[@maryannfry5408]

Thank you Ginger for this tutorial! I am a monthly G45 subscriber and appreciate alternative ways to use the paper. I wish you would continue to do this with each months kit. I met you at a class of yours at Scraps of Love and became an instant follower. You are an inspiration and a great teacher.

[@golfmom67]

Thanks, Ginger! Made two today using G45's new Dreamland collection. We're expecting our first grand baby this summer. They are going to be Grandma "Brag Books" for the Great Grandmas in the family. Another wonderful tutorial...thanks for sharing!!

[@jodyvelie696]

absolutely wonderful tutorial. I have been looking everywhere for instructions on how to make these - this was perfect. speed up music was a little annoying :), but i'm glad you sped it up in spots

[@moonandstars23]

This is such a great tutorial and idea I think I will make some of these for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@deysemagalhaes325]

Loved the folio, loved the paper. I've been dreaming of this paper for so long... Thanks for sharing!

[@michellebrown7000]

Hello Ginger. Can't tell you how much I love this mini. This has become my "go to" gift album. It takes no time to make it and I love the results. As a matter of fact, on a slow day, I'll cut all of the pieces in multiple papers, so all I have to do is assemble and decorate. Have had all the glitches mentioned below, paper splitting, funky glue results, but I've been able to creatively correct / hide the oops and have still had fabulous results. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrsScrapbookingfan]

Looking forward to making one tonight! This turned out beautiful. Directions are very clear. Thanks!!

[@Mochafrapscrapper]

I love your tutorials. You make beautiful projects and you give great instructions!

[@theresacorbe]

Oh my! I love this! The paper is great. And, the simple and elegant design is amazing! I will have to try it!!! Thank you for the turorial.

Great project Ginger. Think I'll give it a try.

[@belindapostula7116]

I saw another tutorial from Linda Levoir, and she linked to your wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for this wonderful design of a waterfall folio. Since we are in lock down at this time, because of virus. I have been spending a lot of time in my crafts studio. This is such a wonderful album to make for family and friends. I will definitely be making a lot of these to share and give as gifts. Again, thank you.
