Mini Albums have long been a favorite project of mine. I love creating minis to preserve those family vacations and trips and for allowing me to share many pictures of a memory, which a normal scrapbook layout doesn’t usually have space for.
While I often create easy, one step mini albums...I also like to create minis using scrapbook paper and my trusty digital die cut machine. To create the pages of my mini album, I digitally cut several page shapes and pockets in varying sizes.
I purchased my cuts from the Silhouette store. Here are links to the digital cuts used.
Using coordinating chipboard shapes, enamel dots/shapes, die-cuts, and decorative tape, I embellished my mini, adding photos of a family trip to Gettysburg.
Special Note: It is never too late to scrapbook pictures that are years old. These pictures were taken 7 years ago when my children were much younger. I have always loved this ‘day vacation’ and thought the Jubliee collection would be perfect for documenting that trip.
Once all of my pages were embellished and pictures were added, I bound my mini together with a We R Memory Keepers Cinch. I recently purchased this and LOVE IT! Perfect for creating your own minis!
There is still plenty of room in my mini to add more pictures and journaling, documenting my memories of that day. I love the versatility and endless possibilities when creating this type of project.
I’d love to know if you enjoy creating Mini Albums. If yes, do you use pre-made albums for ease? Or do you enjoy creating your own from-scratch unique minis?
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day.
Tina
