Middle of the night in my hospital bed and I came across this inspirational tutorial. When I get home this is the first thing I am going to make,.......one for pictures of my furbabies, the last of which has just crossed the rainbow bridge and one for my gorgeous baby granddaughter. Many thanks xx
Chris I hope you are feeling better. Sorry for the loss of your fur baby. (I lost my cat Bob last week; it is so very hard.) This is a great project to lift your spirits and enjoy and share pictures of your grandchild.
My three sisters have grandchildren and I'll make these for them. I love this so much and will make a prayer book and a reading list book for myself. Thank you SO VERY MUCH! MUCH LOVE. ❤
I love it Maymay! I needed something thin to fit in my purse that will protect my pictures that I want to carry with me! This is perfect for that! Thank you so much for sharing! I might even laminate the cover.💕
Hi Maymay, Love this I will have to try it. But will have to probably try the 12x12 size since i have 14 grandkids and one on way I will need the room 🥰 and make the 6x6 for my mom. Thank you for Your great videos and tutorials 💗
I love this!!! I have sooooo many 6x6 paper pads...not many double sided tho...i can make it work by gluing the white sides to each other and attaching an extra piece on the front and back where it would be plain white...will probably make the covers a bit more durable too...thanks for sharing this project...i have a feeling I'm gonna have like 20 of these guys by tomorrow! 😁
Tiny back story...my reward for going to the wretched gym is that I get to watch craft videos while I'm stuck on the machines. I was watching yesterday and this video came on. It totally made my night! I loved your stories and watching you make this great project that I fully plan on replicating for everyone in my life! Thank you so much!
Love it. I have that paper pack in 12x12 but think I will make this size. That was a good tip about trimming off the hole by measuring it at 6 inches. I also have one granddaughter who is 1 1/2 years old.
This is so cute😄 I’ve got loads of 6x6 pads I bought on a whim over time - I try really hard not to, but they call to me, telling me my life would be so much better if I took them home. And don’t talk to me about 12x12 papers, they’re really pushy😏
I want to thank you for your videos because they have got me through some tough times. I love you voice cadence, it’s very calming and easy to learn from. I’ve learned so much!
I seen this video and had to do one soooo cute but I was making a little different add a ribbon to close it.........I'll put it on info or gallery......... Good video thank
Hi MAYMAY, we're all entitled to our opinion but I don't know why anyone would give you a thumbs down. What a great idea. You're right. Every time I see someone they pull out the cell phone. This was easy to follow and quick to make. I'm Grammy and I can't wait to try this. TFS. 😘
Hi there, I am following you from Germany, and I love your brilliant easy ideas for mini albums, especially how to use up 6x6 papers, that indeed are left over often. I made many mini albums recently for birthday presents, printed out photos from my mobile phone referring to the life of the person, using some of your great ideas for pockets and embellishments. Thanks a lot for sharing. Take care, Marika from Heidelberg, Germany.
Good early wee small hours of the morning over here in the UK 🇬🇧 I am wide awake in a creative dream mode so to speak, lol. Thank you for sharing your video tutorial with me. I just finished creating a GMa Brag Book following your instructions. However, the insides are plain as only had single sided Designer Series Paper. So, all the patterns are in the pocket area 🤦🏽♀️ I placed a book band to hold altogether and roughed up the page edges with an emery board/nail file. I have a lot of places to jot down notes/add a stamp or two or add small die cut shapes. I will upload to your site once completed 🌹😊😷
I go by GRAMS too...my girls thought it was not a going to work but the first time my grandson called me “Grams” my heart was bursting...it sounds so cute 😍 I have 6 grandkids The oldest is 4 do yeah it’s hard for them to say but it’s FUN!! YOUR brag book is perfect ❤️❤️❤️🎉🌈 Blessings
tracker 584 it kinda depends on the image. The smaller the detail in the image, the worse it’s going to look on a sprocket because it just can’t print quite that tiny. Group photos for example look like crap on a sprocket. Otherwise the sprocket will print your photos a little washed out and lighter than the true color but it doesn’t generally bother me.
THANK YOU, I REALLY ENJOYED THAT, WOULD NEVER THORT OF IT MYSELF, SO NICELY EXPLAINED, YOU'VE INSPIRED ME. HOW CUTE IS THAT....ENJOY. CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
This is super super cool and cute! So inspiring! Gonna make a album just a little thinner to send my penpals, I think 😍❤️ thanks for sharing this idea with us! ❤️
Loved the Video and have made Several using paper from 6x6 Paper Pads. What Paper Trimmer are you using in the Video. I'm looking at getting a new one.
I buy 12x12 papers and organize them in 12x12 plastic containers but I do like all winter , flowers, and animals those that have no category goes into another plastic container and yes I do use some 6x6
New subscriber here! Referred by My Little Crafty Secret reference a book she made. I just watched your video that was her inspiration, Great Job by the way. Our first grandchild is graduating this May and we are presenting him with a some of money for each year of his being as a graduation gift. I don't want to just give him the money I want to make a presentation, and I like this method, although I could make a separate book for each year and present them as a set, what do you think of the pockets and if I use the pockets what would you suggest I put on the inside sheets that correspond with the pocket. You would never know I use to teach scrapbooking with these simple questions, but I don't have a photo handy of him for each year, and I have asked for some because the copies I had are on a crashed hard drive that hasn't been broken into yet. I want this to be speacial, for his graduation accomplishment, and he doesn't even know he is to get any kind of gifts for graduation.
This is the most adorable project and I can't wait to get in my craft room later to make one. And the decorations that one can do is endless. Too cute...TFS!!
Love this as it is quick, easy & great for 6x6 pads. I also can see doing the same with larger paper pads so as to gift to those who are not tech savvy so only print 4x4 photos! Thanks for sharing!
Never herd grams before , not in north east uk anyway it’s nana, nan , grandma or granny we don’t say mom or pops neither its funny how we use different words for different family members around the world. I call my mother mam but its mainly mum in uk , love this little book i might get the kids to make one to pop lockdown memories in. Best wishes and stay safe . I am subscribing right now x
Love this but then everything MayMay makes is fab. To help inserts slide in andout easier, I always rub down the sides with a drier sheet. Easy peezy then, no sticking.
What a great idea...I have a grandson who just graduated from a fire academy and I plan to make one for all the pictures taken to celebrate our family's newest emergency responder! :)
That is cool gonna make one forsure grandkids are so fun I have 18 1great grandson and a great granddaughter on the way I'm very blessed tysm for sharing come visit me sometime
There is an awesome lady at my church that is always bringing me gifts and a lot of them are personalized gifts that she has ordered just for me! I have racked my brain trying to figure out what I can do for her cause she is one of those who has everything so what do you get for someone like that??? Well, now I know what I can do and it will be handmade from me!! I can personalize it for her!! Thank you for the idea! I can't wait to make it for her now!!
I was thinking the same thing, like a Santas Helpers to keep everything sorted out nice and easy access. I may even add tags with people's name on it for easy access.
I just made one and I love it. My BFF is doing a 12 step workshop so I made mine (for her) with 12 pockets. It will allow her to put inspirational thoughts into each pockets as she completes the 12 steps. I’m so glad I found this, it is perfectly timely. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this. I also wanted to be Gram or Grams but when my granddaughter was about 9 months old just out of the blue she started calling me Nona and that’s what I have been ever since.

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner. Love this.

Bonnie McKenzie I was just thinking this would be great for sprocket photos
I looked at sprocket and others but was told that color wasnt good or true..what do you say as an owner please?

LOVE! The mix of prints are amazing.
There is an awesome lady at my church that is always bringing me gifts and a lot of them are personalized gifts that she has ordered just for me!

Love it! What a difference when you border punch. What brand is this and what's it called?
My Mum goes by Gram.
Thank you for sharing your talents with me / much appreciated
Thank you so much
Ooh and where did you get your plastic stamp platform???
Thank you, I am all new at this and I love how you explain this. Beautiful
That is so cute Maymay!! Thanks for the inspiration for using the 6x6 paper pads! God bless!!!
OMG Maymay I'm a GRAMS too
love your shows thank you for your wonderful teaching style
Wow, gorgeous! TFS your mini, non-bound journal technique. It can be as simple or as embellished as you want!
I love your brag book! I like how quickly it goes together and all of the pockets. I will definitely make one of these. TFS, 💕💕💕
I've been looking for a small border punch like the one u used what brand is that?
Looks like a Martha Stewart punch.
You’re right! SUPER cute and EASY ☺
That little album is so cute....I should do one for the weekend my sister and I spent in Chicago ...
Would be cute for my daughters too
Omg! So adorable and amazing gift idea too. Thank you
SUPER SUPER BEAUTIFUL..LOVE THAT IDEA..👌👌👌👌👌💞💞💞💞
So sweet. It would be lovely for a new Mom also.
Oh my goodness! I love that, I need mine to say “ Mamaw”... going to make one later tonight....
Beautiful! I have to make one of these. I wonder if a strip on the left side would prevent wear and keep the pages from separating? Just thinking.
So cute! I’ve been looking for projects to use up all my 6x6 papers! Thank you for doing this!
beautiful!!!! thanks for the inspiration/...
Thank you, really enjoyed watching how you made this little book.
I have a lot of 6 x 6 paper pads so look forward to having a go at one myself.
Isn't this the way though with kids? You can say mommy 99 times a day and daddy maybe 5, that the first word that they say is daddy! LOL
What is name of that edge punch? I have looked and looked. TIA
You always have the best ideas for using leftover or unused paper, thank you so much!
Mini albums often overwhelm me but you created one I actually want to put together.. 😉
Super cute hope you don't mind me sharing ....
Aw Love this ❤ got plenty of 6x6 didnt know what to do with it got to make this thankyou for the tutorial 😊
Great idea and demo, so simple. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant what a great idea you are a very clever lady indeed thank you for taking time out to make this video and sharing it
What is the name of the glue that you are using and where can it be purchased?? Thanks!
This is great. Going to make one for my holiday and put tickets and bits in it. 💛
I was thinking the same thing, like a Santas Helpers to keep everything sorted out nice and easy access. I may even add tags with people's name on it for easy access.
you should show off the brag book in Thursdays live
Lovely book. Does the glue keep paper stuck for long time ?? Wear and tear etc !
This is just so cute. I love how easy this is. Thank you for sharing.
oooh! first time to your channel and this is just so great!! wow. thank you!!
Super sweet brag book! Adorable! I need to try making one, looks easy!😁

My BFF is doing a 12 step workshop so I made mine (for her) with 12 pockets.
It will allow her to put inspirational thoughts into each pockets as she completes the 12 steps.

Beautiful and so easy! Thank you MayMay.
I love this. I also wanted to be Gram or Grams but when my granddaughter was about 9 months old just out of the blue she started calling me Nona and that’s what I have been ever since.
I love Nonna. I actually wish I called my grandmother that.
I love this, and I am Grams to my granddaughter!
