12 Ideas for Mini Scrapbook Albums

12 Ideas for Mini Scrapbook Albums

Check out the cute little triangle shape on this sweet mini album! The cover is made with squares cut on the diagonal and tied shut with ribbon and the pages are pattern paper folded into triangles. Learn more over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog.

I adore mini albums! Mini albums are a great way to create a project around a single theme, holiday or event. You can create your mini albums yourself from scratch or buy pre-made and customize them for your needs. Make or chose the size of album that’s large (or small enough) to hold all the photos you’ve got and be sure to leave room for journaling and ephemera. Make it easier by choosing coordinating products to keep the album cohesive. To help get you started on creating your own I’ve collected a beautiful bunch of mini album ideas that have different themes, styles and designs for all different types of occasions.

You’ll find a link beneath each photo, click to find products used, techniques and more peeks at the pages inside the albums.

Here’s a really cool and differently shaped album, it reminds me of the “cootie catchers” we used to fold as kids but this is much prettier. It actually folds into a standard looking square album but the pages have fold out pointed flaps so there’s so much room to create on. Visit the Paige Taylor Evans blog to watch a video tutorial.
