Here is Style 4 in my File Folder Mini Series. With my step by step video tutorial you can craft along with me to make this beautiful mini album.
Again all I have used is an office foolscap file folder, a sheet of 12×12 kraft card stock and some patterned papers, so with the use of a very few materials you to can make a quick and easy mini album to house lots of 6×4 photos and memorabilia.
So go on dust off your file folders and make a mini scrapbook album!

With the success of the 6×6 Mini Scrapbook in an Hour I want to show you how you can create this album with some interactive pages which means you can add even more photos to your mini scrapbook album.
This is a step by step tutorial in real time, so you can gather up your supplies and craft along with me.
I have broken this tutorial down into several videos so it makes it easier for you to stop and pick it up at again at anytime, meaning you don’t need to fast forward the video and find where you left off.
Each page construction and dectoration has its own video, there are 4 interactive pages along with inside front and back cover pocket pages.
I have also broken the assembley of the Album in 2 parts, part 1 shows how to attach the pages to the spine as it is slightly different to the method used in the 6×6 Mini Album in and Hour. In part 2 we attch the pages to the cover and finish decoration the Album.
This tutorial is great for crafters of any ablities and as the video tutorials are step by step which makes it easy to follow, I would recommend this to take your mini scrapbooks to another level. Enjoy!

I picked up a pack of note cards and envelopes whist out shopping and it was such a bargain at 99p and thought what could I make with these!!!
Well I was so pleased as out of one pack of 10 note cards and envelopes along with a little extra card stock and ribbon I managed to make 4 very different projects.
The cards I have used measure 3 & 7/8″ x 5″ and the envelopes are 4″ x 5 1/2″. If you are using note cards and envelopes of a difference size then you will need to adjust your measurements.
If you would like to make your own template for the presentation box to hold your Jacobs Ladder Scrapbook please click here
please do bear in mind if your cards and envelopes are of a difference size then you will need to adjust your measurements.
So when you out shopping next grab a packet of note cards and envelpoes and craft along we me to make these 4 different projects from very few materials.
Many people ask why my paper does not crack when I score it and I am going to share my tips with you.
Paper has a memory to be flat and that is how it is made, now as papercrafters we want to change the memory so bend in different ways.
Often paper cracking is down to too much pressure, the wrong tool or digging the tool into the paper instead of letting it glide over the top when scoring.
In the video I show you how to score different types of papers as well as cardstock.
I do hope this quick tip will help many of you over come the problem of cracking paper.
I will show you how to create a quick and easy scrapbook canvas using a 12×12 canvas and scraps from your crafty stash.
This is a great project as it uses very few materials but looks great once it is complete.
You too can add you own twist to this project depending of the photograph you chose for the subject.
So go on have fun and create an Off the Page scrapbook project.

I really enjoyed making this card last night and thought I would share it with you.
It is such a great card as you only need one sheet of A4 cardstock and for the rest you can use bits and bobs from your crafty stash.
I found the idea on Pinterest and it was a video demo by a lady called Monica who is a Stampin Up Demonstrator.
You can make this card to fit so many occassions and there are lots of ideas on the web and pinterest.
The other great thing is that it lays flat for postage but a beautiful 3D card once the envelope has been opened.
So go on and give it a go a quick card that looks like it has taken ages to make.
This is another great tutorial that shows you another version of a Folded Pocket Page Mini Album.
In this tutorial I will show you 2 different page styles that each have their own tags and large photo mats. I also show you have to add the stack the deck hinge system to your cover and how to add your pages to this hinge system.
If you make this 4 page album you will be able to showcase over 24 photos plus 6 extra tags to add smaller photos or journalling. A great project for an afternoons crafting.
To make a 4 page album you will need 7 sheets of 12×12 patterned paper, plus 4 sheets of 12×12 matching card stock.
Page 1 Lay your 12×12 patterned paper on a score board and score at 6″, then do a quarter turn and score at 3″ and 6″.
Cut 3 photo mats from your card stock measuring 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Page 2 Lay your patterned paper on your score board and score at 6″, then do a quarter turn and score at 3″ and 6″, then do a quarter turn again and score at 5″ and 7″ but only to the 6″ mark.
Cut 2 tags from your card stock measuring 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
and 2 photo mats measuring 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
Stack the Deck Hinge
From Card stock cut the following
1 piece measuring 3″ x 6″ and score at 1/2″ and 2 1/2″
