5 Common Mini Album Mistakes and How to Fix Them

[@znycelondon5313]

I so needed to see this. I have a shelf I put my “ mistake “ projects on. Believing I’ll one day come back to them! Now…….. after watching your tutorial I can take some of your ideas and apply them to my mistakes……..I can now finish the project ! Really appreciate all the time and project ideas you share here🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@gotdairy]

I am so glad you made this video! I’m still new to this and it helps to see that everyone makes mistakes, and there are creative ways to fix them without destroying the whole album!! I learn a lot from those who have gone before me!! Thanks!!

[@christineumbreit2356]

Thank you Rosa! This was a wonderful video and so helpful to me as a beginner album maker! Another video that I'd like to see would be on the different types of adhesives and how to use them.

[@normaedlemon92]

Thank you, I swear I make mistakes on every album I make.

[@511Mema]

Thank you thank you thank you I have put my pictures in upside down and I didn’t know what to do with it I thought maybe I just get rid of the book but tonight you made me very happy because I love the book I made and I didn’t want to destroy it so thank you again

[@rachellebourque2168]

I would love to know if you have a tutorial for the alice in wonderland book. I can't find it but I love it. Your tutorials ar ed amazing. Thank you

[@millyreese4210]

Wonderful, wonderful video! Thank you for showing us how to fix our silly mistakes Rosa Kelly! Invaluable video 😃

[@Deakar59]

My daughter would just love the Alice in Wonderland album. Was that a kit please

[@lmorgan5775]

Thank you for this! I just did my first album this week (I followed your 4x4 tutorial), and I made 2 mistakes on this list...lol. I also adhered my pages too far down on the hinges so the pages don't lay flat when the book is open. I'm going to try again this weekend. I'm so glad I found you!

[@QueenBee-ig2tp]

Thank you so much for these tips. I had been making mini albums and got into making embellishments and cards and ephemera and not albums. Now I am back into making albums and have made quite a few mistakes. As you showed here I forgot about the magnets, and had to relearn about waterfalls, and find myself forgetting a closure and already stuck the papers down. This was a great video, and maybe you could do another one if you find some more useful tips. Do you have any tips for making the spine stronger, as I do like to make lots of flips and flaps but don't want to overdo them.

[@avellanacoll7273]

How pitty I can´t see this video yesterday. Wrong side flap... but hapilly just plain page in process. Thanks for sharing, you are awsome teacher.

[@robertagordon198]

You need a crop-a-dial for those holes, it makes perfect holes. It puts those rings in beautifully.

[@GrannyDblTap]

Thank you so much for sharing these tips and tricks. I’m just in the process of creating my very first mini album and having this information at hand will most assuredly save me time and money because I know I would most likely want to start over again and would have to purchase more paper. I now know there are ways of camouflaging mistakes and making repairs. Much appreciated. Heather

[@carenblabagno3036]

Thank you so much for your insights.

[@beccaellington6343]

Hi Rosa, thank you for the lovely ideas. What was the solution to #1 besides simply not doing it?😂 I hate when I do this and was wondering if there is a way to actually fix it once it's done

[@uvdm1969]

Hi Rosa THANK YOU so much for this it really helps a lot as I also have a spine falling apart.....Now I will add brads...:-) May I ask which Alice in Wonderland album do you show right at the end of this video...please....I think its beautiful I loooove it.... Have a lovely day....!!xxx

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Ursula Van Der Merwe is one of my first albums 😊 Is in mini Album Playlist

[@STAN_MARSHMELLO]

Great tips! I've done all the of these minus the Upside down Pocket 😂

[@NatiWolff]

Useful tips and lovely albums. Thank you!

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

I know this video is from two years ago,but can you explain what the hinge method is that's wrong , you said it's like a u on top of a u ? Thank you Rosa

[@diannes9935]

Thank you Rosa for the wonderful tips to hide or fix mistakes! No one is perfect, right? Your albums are so creative and beautiful.

[@sheilastiles01]

I'm SO glad YOU still make mistakes!!! LOL. you are my inspiration to make my FIRST album ! I'm very nervous because your work is so impeccable!!!! If I can be half as good, I will be thrilled! Thank you for all your tutorials. ❤❤❤

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Sheila Stiles aww thank you!!

[@robinmiller6730]

I like your idea of the brads in the spine. Maybe that could be an idea to do before the paper is put on. Then you don't have to worry about your spine coming apart.

[@giovannaalvino4040]

Very helpful! Tremendous craftsmanship.

[@BeadyBomBomElizabeth]

Great tips! Tfs. Hugs.

Thank you for this and all your videos. I know it takes a lot of time on your part to do them and I know I can honestly say WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO FOR US. Take care.

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Thank you great tips

[@sgaimc]

I used double sided tape on my albums and a couple of years on they are all falling apart! What double sided tape would you recommend?

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Scor tape. The only one I use for binding 💕

[@cristicrafts4836]

I thought I was the only one. 😬

[@patscraftyhaven]

great tips - tfs patrizia

[@judyoliver2203]

Thanks for the tips!

[@HeavenlyImaginings]

this was so helpful

[@acm8056]

Thanks for these helpful tips... I have one... I glue tyvek onto the back of the card stock before i use it to make my spine/hinges out of. Then I score and make it into a hinge/spine as usual.. I also glue down a piece of tyvek onto the middle of inside of cover card stock about an inch wider on each side than the chipboard binding piece before i glue down the chip board binding on top of the cover card stock, (Tyvek between cardstock and chip board binding). it is hidden inside when you fold over card stock to cover chip board pieces. Tyvek is so thin it leaves no bulk... Tyvek same material as white fibrous mailing post office pouches. Sometimes I don't glue the spine onto the back middle hard back binding and just have a floating spine makes album very flexible and lays flat. With at least 2 inches of tyvek covered spine ends glued to inside of front and back cover it will never tear or rip very strong. When all the pages are covered it still looks pretty. Hopes this is useful to someone and makes sense.!

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Yes! I use tyvek on my larger albums too 😊

[@judyelispur5343]

Rosa = I have just discovered scraping during the free time that Corona allowed me - I love watching your videos and learning from you - I began with making cards - bookmarks and small folders and am now getting into albums - especially for new babies!! thanks so much for your tutorials - your name is well known in Israel among the scrapper community!!! Did you know that???

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Aww that’s is so awesome, I didn’t know that. Thank you so much 💕😊

[@marybarroso1248]

But it’s beautiful!

[@shannonstrait3208]

I make mistakes on every album I make. I consider them part of the art of creating!!

[@Notactive100]

Great video of beautiful albums and good reminders and fixes. Thank you.

[@mechellnelson6461]

Thanks for sharing. I just made an album and glued my paper upside down. I wasn’t sure how to fix it. Now I know. Do you have a tutorial on the last album you showed? I believe it had the key hole on the front.

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Mechell Nelson I don’t sorry 😕

[@madeleinestellian3761]

Merci pour toutes ces astuces qui permettent de rattraper les erreurs !

[@lesleyrodgers3872]

Thanks for this quick video Rosa I try my hardest with every album I make but they are not perfect I have trouble making everything straight but I know practice makes perfect I may be a long way off perfect . I watch all of your video's as you are a great tutor

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Thank you so much! Definitely get easier with practice!

[@Anascraftylife]

This is a really good video Rosa, special if u are a beginner cause those are the mistakes we do a lot when u are just starting on the scrapbooking world. And Even if we have been on this for quite a while. Beautiful albums by the way. TFS my friend. I am wondering if u already put some pics in the Sisters Mini I made x u Girls. Hugs. ♡

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

I did put some! Love that album 😊 thank you so much!!

[@VictorianDreamsbyLeigh]

Thank you ❤️

[@anjas.770]

Hi, thank you for your helpfull Video. What can I do when the paper of the spine is torn/broken in the bend?

[@RosaKellyScrapbooking]

Anja S. That could be a part 2 video 😊

[@patchwerks11]

Great advice.

[@maureenfelton4012]

Thank you Rosa

[@katherinechua6706]

Great inspiration!

[@StaceysStash]

Great tips and hints!!! Rarely do you see someone showing you the mistakes and giving examples like you did!!! Absolutely LOOOOOVE that Alice journal!!!!! It's got my favorite colors: Purple and Black!!!!

[@gwyn9846]

Thank you sooo much Rosa!!

[@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife]

Great video on showing how to fix mistakes. Lol, I know I've made mistakes on my albums. Lol. Or do after- thoughts on adding something on. Thanks Rosa.

[@lauramariawaugh5719]

I’ve just discovered your channel and have subscribed. Your work is exquisite ❤️🐞

[@nbenefiel]

I always Tyvek my spines. It keeps them from splitting or falling apart.

[@millyreese4210]

How do you do that!? Great niece #6 is on the way!

[@nbenefiel]

@@millyreese4210 Before I add the pretty paper, I cover the spine with tyvek. I spread it with glue and let it dry. Then I put the pretty spine over that. It seems to prevent the splitting and breaking.

[@clairefraserbavin8055]

Thank you Rosa, this is such a useful video, and I will definitely take all your suggestions on board. Xxx.

[@terepardo]

Thank you for sharing your bloopers.... that makes me feel better since I have MANY!!

[@GiesTidbits]

This is very helpful Rosa, thanks.❤❤ I have used brads on my spine, I feel it will make it more sturdy.💕

[@scrappycavie5151]

Thank you so much for sharing. This will be so helpful as my niece asked me to make her an Engagement/Wedding Album and I have so little experience. I have been crafting for 25 years, but only made 2 mini albums. My biggest mistake is not leaving a large enough gusset to accommodate my page insert. Also with a spine too small, it already has an alligator mouth before adding any photos. Ugh... I hope the album for my niece turns out nice. 😬

[@holidaycreations7947]

Super helpful video! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us! Rebecca

[@cynthiatredway6006]

Rosa, your work is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@lynfischer1601]

Thank you for sharing this. Excellent tips 👧🏻

[@mycraftynook5266]

Wow, thank you very much for this great idea for securing your spin. I was going to use the small grommets, but this is a much better idea. Thank you again :)

[@annamartinez9059]

Thank you for sharing! I always have a mistake on every album ....forgetting magnets and paper direction always the top two! I 😕😊♥️

[@lniino25]

Love your tips and how to correcting. This was very helpful. I also like your matching page style and clean cut look. Thank you for sharing.

[@stephanietaylor626]

Thank you Rosa!! Would you please tell us how you keep your pages looking so clean and neat while you’re creating them? Somehow mine get little marks and weird glue smears - yes, I am being so careful to keep wiping my hands and try to only set the pages down on a clean counter but I promise, it’s like once I build a page it’s a dirt magnet. Also, a tip, if you glue a pocket on upside down you can just glue another pocket to the bottom of that page - instead of a flap like in your example. No one will ever know about the wrong pocket because the wrong pocket opening is hidden inside the new pocket. Great video!

[@leekeen7410]

I love this video - thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us. LOL - I'm glad I'm not the only one who does these things! I most certainly will use your really inventive fixes. :-)

[@yamrector2]

Thanks for your helpful advice and honesty! 😍

[@vayes7958]

Wow, very helpful.... Impressive albums

[@InzpiredDezignz]

Thank you so much! I just made a mini album for my grandkids and accidentally put a pocket in upside down! Now I know what I'm going to do about it!! I can't wait to fix it now! Thanks again!

[@cherylcain890]

Thank you Rosa! I have also made some of these mistakes. One item I have found useful for some fixes is Un-Do. When it dries it can easily be re-glued.

[@lucyleo2912]

Great video rosa....we all make mistakes and this is really helpful x
