Hello everyone, Erica here with a mini book tutorial for all of you foodies. If you are a photo lover like I am, mini books are a great way of showing off all the photos which don’t fit in your pocket scrapbook album. Since I’m documenting all of the good food I’ve eaten, I am using the Table for Two collection.
How to assemble the album
The book itself is only 3×4 inch so its easily stored and portable if necessary. I cut a thin strip of flexible cardboard to match the length of the book, then I glued the each card to the strip, leaving a small space between each so I could easily fold the book.
Because space is limited, I can focus less on journaling and more on the photos themselves. I used a lot of the digital elements to express my feelings or memories about the photo. Or I add a small sentence or 2 on the card for a personal touch.
Another way of adding something to your mini book is using digital stamps on your photos or collection papers. I used the “Ways to my heart” stamp to create a filler card and used the “Eat” stamp for my cover.
Now you can start to get really creative by cutting up various filler cards and elements to create mini layouts.
I love creating mini books because it gives me something creative to do when I’m having a slow month and they are such quick and easy projects to complete.
Love this mini book Erica!
Any tips on how you assembled this?
Also what dimensions did you use? Looks like the perfect size.
Thank you.
Hi Dondi – the book itself is only 3×4 so its easily stored and portable if necessary. How I assembled the book is by cutting a thin strip of flexible cardboard to match the length of the book, then I glued the each card to the strip, leaving a small space between each so I could easily fold the book. Hopefully those instructions made sense, if not let me know!
Thanks!
