The Really Useable Album - A

#G45BACall24 #graphic45 #G45BrandAmbassador #MemoryBook ‪@graphic45papers‬
Welcome to another album tutorial. Other than the cover, I go through this in real time to show you how quick and easy it really is. Of course this is just the base and you can then go on to add your own touches. I used Graphic 45's Little Things on this one. It plays to my strengths of using papers to their most by using clever measurements.

I love this album. When I'm watching you create so I can learn, I never mind if it is a longer video. I really appreciate seeing how you do things that are new to me. Rushing isn't necessary.

[@paulford6686]

I'm so glad!

[@katharinelord9772]

I can’t wait to use my leftover Christmas papers from other projects to make these albums to give as gifts at Christmas time. Thank you for making albums that don’t require much cutting of the photos. If you are not a crafter, I have found that you’re a little nervous about cutting photos.

[@user-vc1yd1rp4f]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Your comment about it’s only paper is so true. Sometimes I feel deflated if I cut wrong especially if you don’t have enough of the same pattern. Your tip on the miss cut was 😮. Doing that tip going forward. Wow.

[@paulford6686]

You are so welcome! Glad the tips were helpful. We all make mistakes.

[@beritminemller8611]

Nice to see the hole process, I’m all in for slow projects 😀

[@paulford6686]

That’s great to hear

[@vahodgins]

I have just finished this album ... almost! Just have to put the finishing touches on it. As other people have said, your instructions are easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much! I used Graphic 45's Little One collection, and I'll post photos on your FaceBook page once the album has been completely finished.

[@paulford6686]

Thank you. The finishing touches are what take me the longest time 😂

[@lesleykilby3430]

You are correct about your strengths Paul; you conserve paper, always make room for just the right size photos and best of all, you make the most amazing albums. Thank you for sharing your skills with us and showing such beautiful G45 papers off so well.

[@paulford6686]

Thank you for those lovely words.

[@BelindaBasson]

I love how you have used the paper. You really know how to make paper stretch

[@paulford6686]

That means a lot coming from you 😊

[@susanswayngim1854]

Best wishes for you in this. Your designs are my very favorite. I’ve watched hundreds of videos and yours rate #1 with me.

[@paulford6686]

Wow, thank you!

[@stampedbym]

Lovely album. You have my vote for a 2nd term on G-45. It doesn’t carry any weight but you would continue to be an asset.

[@paulford6686]

That was a lovely comment. Can you be on the panel who choose the ambassadors please 🤣

[@denisekeckeisen87]

Love your style and patient nature to teaching! I would hope Graphic 45 would not want to loose you or your talents! Thank you so much.

[@paulford6686]

That is very kind of you. Thanks so much.

[@carolwright8560]

Lovely Album Paul. So clear and instructive. I love the way you show us so clearly how to cut the papers to make the best of it. Well done again Paul, you never disappoint. You really deserve to be given another term with G45.

[@paulford6686]

Thanks so much! That is very kind of you.

I have been waiting for today (empty house for a few hours so no interruptions) so I could follow this tutorial and make another of your albums. You make such clever use of your papers but never compromise on the beauty of your projects.

[@paulford6686]

Did it work? Did you get time to concentrate on it?

[@catherinekenny9416]

It did work. Indeed it with no major problems thanks to your guidance. My only problem now is that I can't pick decorative papers.
