[@juliephillips3701]

I found your site and wanted to let you know that I love watching you craft with no plans cuz that is me too...watching you gets me feeling the crafting vibe

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you 💜

[@Sircaymen]

I really like this. I'll be making one for sure. When your dog started barking, it made my dog bark and he started running around looking for the dog. Too funny!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Sharmelle586]

I'm less than seven minutes into this tutorial and I'm enjoying where this is going! Thanks so much for this tutorial.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

A wonderful project...just the kind I love to watch. I will have to look for the follow up considering I am two years after the fact. 😂🤣🥰

[@Valeri4561]

Okay Dawn!! This video has been up X four years?!! And, I'm just now discovering it. LOL I still ended up mesmerized and thinking, "this is why I love TheBookVandal"! LOL You prob won't even see this comment b/c the video is so old. But thanks for this idea. Although it's been a few years, this idea is still a video that I can use to create my own project. PS, My hair is dark, but my roots are blonde. LOL Figuratively

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Lol! Well I'm glad it's still relevant for you! 💜

[@amysteele2488]

Love that little wooden button. Goes perfectly with the folder.

I used to have a Rat Terrier that was terrified of our toaster when he was a puppy. It was so funny!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

[@reneeriley2145]

As a newbie crafter I really enjoyed watching this series and will be creating a version of this to hold the ephemera That is collecting. You make me feel at ease knowing your stage in life and the family life you share. Joyful to my heart! I was looking forward to see the file folder completed and filled up.

[@gailfenske9635]

I just luv what ur making!! Been hunting for idea to hold my parent’s paper memorabilia. This is my solution. Will need to make several. Thank u.

[@ScentsyCraftyVet]

This is just how I do things when I am crafting. Thank you for the video. I love that you are from Indiana just like me and both from the southern part of it. You give me hope that one day I might be able to do what you do. So thank you.

[@chaplainesque]

Great idea! I like the way you make use of the ready-made score lines in the folders, and I very much like the creative way you arrived at the final design. This is exactly how I would like to work.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you 💜

[@monanwright]

I have just found your page. I watched your envelope journal videos and came across this. Love , love , love it.

[@misswinnie4.8]

Just what I needed!

[@rebeccaleyva6117]

Nope I’m still watching 😁

[@lisak7677]

I have a ton of these folders.... I know what I'm doing tomorrow! It's fabulous, thank you!

[@r.c.miller6161]

Spontaneous creativity is great. Watching you work is such fun and your results are just beautiful.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you so much!

[@juneribbons5196]

I love this use of file folders. They are nice. I just was covered mini albums. I had tried to make journals in the past and failed, so when I discovered jenofeve I was happy to watch her and try again. I learned a lot from her. I'm also learning to think outside the box from you. I do that forget what I was after thing. We call it sometimes cause it doesn't happen all of the time. You can get this at any age not just because you're getting older. Lol

[@fazestorm4441]

Are doing such a good job

[@lorrainewilson2067]

Wow. This was an awesome video. Thanks for all the points you shared!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Absolutely, fantastic and stunning Dawn, I really really love 💖 this. On the strength of your videos I’ve brought a load of file folders. Thank you so much xxx Mags

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thanks so much! 💜 Have fun! Can't wait to see what you make!

[@SiriusHeka]

Awww- my bergamot you grew and shared is doing really well! You are a good gardener. It’s nice to see your mind works like mine- I figure it out as I go along. I love watching your videos. ❤️

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thanks for watching and being such a good friend. 😊 I like watching your videos too. Yep, I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kind of crafter. Lol

I love everything about this project and most of all...that it’s true to you, true to life!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Awww! Thank you!

[@leticiamalagon1036]

I totally related to the part where you said you shouldn't be left unattended haha I just bought myself my first laminator and I am using any excuse to use it right now and let's just say there is a lot of cut up laminated edges everywhere right now! I love creating things all the time!

[@graciebeachbum137]

Hi Dawn🖐🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻Fabulous!! This was fun!! I’m sitting on my porch sipping tea while watching so I don’t mind!! Have a beautiful day!! TFS💕😊🐚gracie

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Hey Gracie! Thanks for stopping by! Xx, Dawn

[@geesjebaron]

I'm going to make a mini album for one of my sons, for his childhood pictures, I'm going to use packaging material from cat food that he saved for me, and the base of the flip-outs are going to be made from paint chips from Home Depot, as he is renovating his house so frequent trips to that store for building supplies. I thought that a nice touch. I love your file folder storage book.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

That's sounds like it's going to be a great project!! Xx, Dawn

And Dakotah’s bread she made for us was awesome!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I will tell her. 💙

[@DoraTheFluidCrafter]

Fyi - you can sharpen punches and scissors with aluminum foil.... I'm so loving this I have tons of these folders too!!!!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Have fun!!! Can't wait to see what you make!

[@johnibrazzell764]

Loved this!!

[@Peace2yaa]

I use a wide strip of clear tape to secure my string and it makes it smooth for tags or what not, and they don't get hung up. No glue.

[@sandrastrobel1254]

I just replaced 3 hole punchers and a rotary blade on my paper cutter machine. Always buying or replacing.

[@margaretcomella3318]

Funny....I love that ruler! 😄 But I have to admit, I mostly use it as a household tool. Love the two pointers.

[@junkerryjournals7924]

Love this!!!

[@pristinabread]

what do you do with the metal bar hook things?

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

those make good closures.

[@gingergargoyle]

I know this is from last year but the hanging strips do slide out of those hanging folders so they are easier to get into your cutter to remove the heavy strip ... But you can use it to steady the edge of a booklet

[@carolnieves-delgado8822]

Yes. I love making the minis

[@jodibuckmister7402]

Love this! I'm having fun with you.

[@jenihansen7201]

YOU ARE BRILLIANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. GOING TO DO THIS TOMORROW AFTER I MAKE ZUCCHINI BREAD FOR MY FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Yum!! Love zucchini bread!

[@berrysweetlety]

Where did you get your paper cutter? I'm looking for a new one since my guillotine doesn't cut straight edges :/

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I use a big fiskars brand rotary cutter. It is self sharpening and cuts very nicely

[@maryherman4321]

Is the butterfly/flower page upside down?

[@cathydurham10]

Whats the name of the paper pack you used for this folio?

[@mspinkie57]

Love your videos; always beautifully done. What brand of punches do you use?

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I have punches of all kinds. Most of my circle punches are just cheap Hobby Lobby brand. Some of my border punches are fiskars brand, some are Martha Stewart, and some are stampin' up. My favorite punches are stampin up

[@dinapreuss1922]

What a fun project! Do you have the link to the other little booklet you showed at the beginning??? Thanks.

Where can I find these two toned file folders???

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Hi cathy. These particular folders were purchased from Walmart but that's been a few years back. I would think you could still find them there or at an office supply store/website or possibly something similar on Amazon

[@georgiadavis643]

FYI..watching you struggle a bit with the hangers there...I believe they pull out of the folder

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

These don't pull out unfortunately. But thanks for the suggestion!

[@georgiadavis643]

@@thebookvandalshop5592 Sorry if i misled anyone...found out that not All work the way i said...guess depends on the brand. Either way...I Love the idea and happened to find an almost full box of some older ones the other day ...so am trying my hand at it. Thank You!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I think some of them do pull out easily. I had some pretty old ones before that pulled out quite easily. These are new ones I had bought at Walmart and they are stubborn little suckers. 😄 oh no worries, I'm sure you didn't mislead anyone. Have fun creating your project! I love working with file folders! Xx

[@catscarborough9944]

Love this! Also do I spy a Kuru Toga pencil you're using? If so you have some good taste in office supplies!!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you! Yep that's a kuru toga. Best pencils you can buy! My husband works for Subaru. The guys bring them back from Japan for everyone when they have to go over.

No plan, no can, no man , do our best work!!!😄😄

[@April4YHWH]

10:06 why are you trying to cut from the wrong side? Turn your work around so it’s on the right side and you’re not reaching awkwardly over to the left. Pretty sure the ruler isn’t the problem.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

This was 3 years ago! Who knows what I was thinking then?! Probably menopause brain. 🤷‍♀️
