Wow.....it's beautiful and huge....tons of real-estate for photos! Thanks for sharing!

[@Itsadeal]

Super love it 😀

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Thank you so much 💕

Cute album! You could make some cute little notecards with the scraps

[@shariyoung4064]

I’d love a tutorial on how to make this album. I think you should make some cards with the scraps. Could also use the cards as photo folios inside the album.

Love, Love, Love the hexagon paper piecing! So cute!!!! Thanks for sharing this fun project.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Thank you so very much! Love the hexagons too. It adds interest to the project and I get to use my smaller scraps!

I love Ginger's tutorials and have made this folio too! I still can't believe she passed away last year, so sad! That is absolutely gorgeous paper and you've done a wonderful job! Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Thank you so much! Ginger was an amazing creative inspiration to many and I’m so glad her tutorials and inspiration will continue to live on with us. 💖

A similar mini mini album would be cute!!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

It would but I would definitely have to cut down the photo sleeves then to a smaller size and possibly have some parts of the sleeve then go to waste so I’m not sure I want to do that! But it would be great with individual 4x6 sleeves !

[@tarabonsor8055]

Love this folio. Would love to see a tutorial for this one from you.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Sorry , I don’t recreate other people’s tutorials. That just doesn’t seem right. Now if someone didn’t have a tutorial and I was inspired by them and come up with the measurements on my own, that’s different. But there already is a tutorial for this.

[@mariebinkin4365]

This album is massive! I will have to check out the tutorial..... The back cover is so cool! Love all the hexagons. I bet that took some time to create! Thanks for sharing!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Thank you so much! Yes, the hexagons definitely add some fun and interesting to the project ! It took some time but it was fun to make and I got to use up my smaller scraps!

[@karensutcliffe5425]

Cute album! Your hexagon paper piecing is amazing 💕

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Thank you so much! Had to use up some of those little scraps I had! 💖

[@elizabethfalcon9208]

My thought is when you sell the folio include some stickers/scraps so it can be added when the person who fills it can add them where they think a bit more is needed. This way it matches and not just left behind in your craft room

[@KarolinasKrafts]

While that’s a great idea I usually don’t do that and I usually create something else with the scraps whether it’s a card or bookmarks, etc. Reason being, most people that buy the folios don’t have experience crafting or they’re gifting it to someone else who also has no crafting experience and they don’t know what to do with those scraps of paper. So I’d rather use them in some way then possibly them getting thrown out by the recipient 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I only include the scraps of it’s an album swap or something

[@joemarieromero4010]

A mini album would be nice for those scraps or a 3x3 matchbox card kit????

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Ooo like 3x3 notecards?

[@laurag5168]

I’ve always loved this configuration. Maybe I missed it but when you make photo mats that are loose in the album, what weight cardstock do you use?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I almost always use 65lb for everything because when matted with paper or photo with wet glue it hardens.

[@laurag5168]

@@KarolinasKrafts thanks for the info. And that makes a lot of sense 💡

[@kristythecraftypapersmith]

How do attach your clear photo pages? I have been tempted to pick them up, but always pass them by because I just get a little stumped on how to use thsm.
