Making Mini Scrapbooks

Mini scrapbooks are all the rage at the moment in the scrapbooking world. Their popularity stems from the fact that they are smaller and therefore less cumbersome and time consuming to make than your larger and more traditional 12x12 scrapbook album. This makes them a cheaper option to a Scrapbook as you will undoubtedly require fewer products to make one.

What is a mini scrapbook - If you are wondering what a mini scrapbook is you are not alone. They are quite simply a small scrapbook, usually around 6"x6" in size but as long as it is smaller than 8"x8" it will be considered a mini album. Another feature that defines a mini album is that they are usually themed to suit the occasion at hand. Popular themes include baby's, birthdays, weddings, family and holidays. The number of pages in an album is not relevant, they can have as few as 2 or as many as 30.

Making mini scrapbooks - They also take creative scrapbooking to the next level, you will often find a mini album made from the most unusual products including but certainly not limited to paper bags, coffee filters, clothes pins, CD covers and even the CDs themselves. It would seem that scrapbook artists are constantly on the lookout for ideas and products to create their next mini scrapbook masterpiece, recycling anything that they can get their hands on.

Great gift ideas - Because every album is unique and created with time and tlc, mini scrapbooks make the perfect gift for your friends and family - and you can guarantee that they will love your thoughtful present. Whether they have 2 pages or 10 you can not go wrong with an appropriately themed mini book. Brag books filled with photos of the kids for grandma, a mini book of love for your significant other, a birthday album for the birthday boy (or girl), a friendship keepsake for your bff or maybe a baby mini book for the expectant mum with spaces to add photos and journaling.

Be fairly warned that once you start off down the path of making mini books you will find that you will very soon become addicted. Your regular 12x12 album will become neglected as you create mini book after mini book for yourself and loved ones. But you will enjoy every minute of it and when you are done you will have a treasured keepsake that will keep your memories alive in years to come.
