About
Hello, my name is Ginger. I’ve been married for twenty something years (after twenty, who counts anymore?) to a man who tries to keep me in balance. I’m still a work in progress.
My niece got me started scrapbooking in 2003, however, I didn’t get seriously addicted until my first grand child, AJ, was born three years later.
Now I have two beautiful grand children and love to scrap pictures of them. I really like doing mini books, however after AJ was born I began to focus on 12×12 layouts. She loves to look at the pages in her “books” and especially likes her new “Florida” book, which has pictures of her first trip to Disney World where she got to meet the princesses.
I have four sisters and only one is into scrapbooking. Whenever a gift is needed, my sisters contact me to make a “little” scrapbook for them to give out; hence the name, My Sisters Scrapper.
I’ve now put my focus back to mini books. They’re so much fun to do and great for capturing a special “event” or holiday. Love them!
Scrapbooking for me is a great stress release and I wish there was more time in the day. I try to use what current supplies I have, yet being a paper addict is a little tricky for me and keeps my husband shaking his head. He’s still trying to figure out why I need so much stuff!

I love your mini albums. I would like to know where you get your eyelets and attachments for your books from.
Thanks! I get my extra large eyelets from a local scrapbook store, however you cna get them online at Shopwer.com. I use hairbands from the dollar store to bind my mini albums so they will lay flat. Hope that helps! Ginger
Hi Ginger, didn’t you have a Grapic 45 album Magic of Oz on line about a week ago?? It was a gate album. I can’t find it now. Where would it be???
Hi Ginger!
I discovered you casually through youtube. I saw your dinosaure’s paper bag mini album. I loved it. I just want to thank-you for showing it to the world. I’m just a beginner in scrapbooking and I watch a lot of works in the net to learn and stimulate my creativity, and works like yours are a great inspiration! I’d like to watch a tutorial about it to make something different but with the same structure. Could I?
Thank-you again, Ginger.
Sorry for my English. I’m catalan and have very few opportunities to practice my English.

Thanks for the nice comments! I learned how to construct this mini album by watching a video series on You Tube from Kathy Orta. All of her videos are amazing! Hope this helps! Hugs, Ginger
it was SO fun spending time scrapping next to you on Saturday 1/7 at Sherrie’s 12 hour event. I look forward to spending more time together and getting a chance to know you better!

Barb,
I had tons of fun! I look forward to getting to know you and the rest of the ladies at the next crop. Thanks for everything! Ginger
I love all your mini albums. Is there someplace on your site that gives measurements to assemble the chip board part of the album or are they pre assembled? I am very new to mini album making and usually need more directions than most people. Or is there someone’s site that can help me with the assembly part of these albums
Hi Ginger,
I love your baby boy paper bag mini album. Do you have a tutorial on how to assembly this mini? I noticed that there are not flaps in this mini. How did you do that?
Thanks,
VBE
Hi Ginger, (That’s my sister’s name, too!)
I just wanted to write and let you know that I LOVE your mini albums! They are emaculate and I hope to be that good one day! I just recently started making mini albums and I must say that yours are the most inspiring! I’ve watched a lot of your youtube videos and I just would love to know how you are so precise with everything!? Your pages are always so perfectly even and straight and your photomats always have an even border and are just lovely. The creativity that goes into each one of your pages and covers is incredible. I would love some tips if you have any to offer.
Take Care and keep creating!!
Amber
Hey Ginger,
I’ve just started watching your videos and I’m loving them already
I want to do scrapbooking for a hobby and I look at your videos for inspiration! However, here in Singapore, there is really very little scrapbooking stores and if there are, I can’t find them. I absolutely love your mini albums and your little pockets are so PERFECT! You have so much creativity and you match the stickers and tags with the card stocks so well ^^ Also, the way you use Cricut is incredible and it always turns out AWESOME!
This is just an enquiry but I hope you’ll answer this: Are you selling these mini-albums worldwide? Cos I would want to buy if you do.
Don’t stop what you are doing cos you’re an inspiration t0 many, including myself. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Yuki <333
awesome. Im starting to love scar booking
Hi Ginger:
I found your tutorial on the vertical paperbag mini. Loved it.
I am currently working on one for my sister in law with the Bo Bunny Serenity and some from the Graphic 45 Bird song paper. It is coming along very nice.
Your work is lovely.
Thank you for the inspiration and keep it coming.

hello
first of all, apologize for my bad English. Second congratulate you on your work scrap. I have discovered by accident … and is a joy to see your work, tutorials … I’m in love with your minialbums … I’m from Menorca (Spain) and there’s not much love for the scrap .. and therefore any store that sells the material for scrap. fortunately are online stores where you buy the item.
the other day watching some tutorials yours, I saw that you used two collections that I loved, but I can not find them to buy them. Can you tell me where the could buy?? One is the collection Timeless / DCWV and Recollections other is and is called “today, tomorrow, forever”.
Anyway, I follow your blog and your youtube channel … and you’re an artist!!
Hi, Ginger.
Have just discovered you on youtube! I’m from England and love to look at the different ways of scrapbooking from further afield! My interest at the moment is mini albums and that’s how I discovered your Apple Cider mini album video on youtube. I love it! I’d love to have a go at making one for my brother and his new wife for their first anniversary in July, but I’m not sure how to go about making the spine and attaching the pages! Is there a tutorial I could watch/read to help me? Love your website, too, by the way! Thanks, Rachel
To Rachel Gray: I too just watched Ginger’s videos and love them! Her Apple Cider binding method she called “stack the deck”. It’s a different sort of technique. I just watched a video the other day on a stack the deck binding but now can’t remember where it was! If you search YouTube for that type of binding, you should be able to find some tutorials on that method.
Laura Denison of Following the Paper Trail did a tutorial a couple of years ago on her channel. That’s where I learned how to create it. I do show how to do the stack the deck binding in my Vertical Paper Bag Mini Album Series as well as my Vertical TP Mini Album Tutorial.
I found you site on you tube haves learn so much. Check it on a daily bases. That’s for sharing you talent. You are truly gifted and make me want to scrap more. Tell your husband my husband can’t figure out my love for paper either,but loves the mini books I have maxed because of you… Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Hi Ginger you are the bomb, everything you make is beautiful I am so inspired by you. I am hoping That one day I can do a swap with one of your creativity. I have been scrapboooking for many years, I just don’t know how to go in to all this tube and all that.. I barely have a email..hehe… But I am looking forward to hear from you. Thank you
