albums and would have to be my favorite to work with. It is quite
sturdy and can be trimmed down to any shape that you want which makes
it great for making cool shaped mini albums other than the regular
square or rectangular mini albums which are so common. Shape it into
a purse or handbag, a heart, a circular album, a word or whatever
takes your fancy.

Mini
Scrapbook Albums - Coasters - - Coasters have become a popular scrapbook item. These cardboard-like
embellishments can be used to create many scrapbooking projects. One
use for coasters is to craft a mini-album with these versatile items.
Coasters come in many different shapes and sizes so there are several
choices when it comes to the size and shape of your coaster
mini-album. The most common shapes for paper coasters are circles and
squares. When making your mini album the possibilities are endless.

Shadow" Pet Tribute Scrapbooking Layout - – This is a scrapbooking recognition for a favorite and loyal
pet.
Photo
Album Cover - - It is a lot of fun to make a photo album cover and does not take as
much time as you may think. Making a photo album cover is important
because it ties together your whole photo album. Without the cover,
your photo album is just a group of pictures. The cover of the album
gives it a theme and serves as the photo album guide.

sized leather photo album - - This instructable is about making a pocket sized photo album that
can fit in your pocket, purse, or tote without taking a lot of room.
Pregnancy
Paper Bag Album - - This is a great mini album to make for a Gift for a new mom to be.
Stand
Up Purse Paper Bag album - - As with the popular paper bag album all you need to make this nifty
purse are at least 3 paper bags. It is a good idea to only use 3
paper bags for your first purse. Later on if you're feeling
adventurous you can give it a go with more (or less) paper baggies.
So grab your supplies and lets get busy.
Star
Album - - Star albums are awesome mini albums that open up into a star shape
that you can open and display nicely on your mantle. If you add a
ribbon closure it will sit nicely and makes a great talking piece
around the coffee table. They are heaps of fun to make as well but
they can take up a fair bit of your cardstock and patterned
paper so make sure you have plenty before you get started.
Treasure
Chest Book - - The double-hinged treasure chest book makes a wonderful Gift for
kids. It proves to be a step by step guide for children, to explore
things. It can serve many purposes; say kids can use the top paper to
write a word and the bottom to write the definition. It can be easily
used as a personal diary as well. With a little creativity, you can
use it as an album too and Gift it to your friends. In this case, the
bottom flap will not have writing papers, but a plain and thick
paper, to attach the photographs. You can write comments or taglines
on the papers of the top flap. In case of a treasure chest book, a
little creativity and patience can give you an amazing piece of art.
Given below is more information on making the craft.

certainly be appreciated by the people, who do not value a Gift by
merely its price, but by the thought and hard work that are put, to
make a creative handcrafted wedding album. Given below are the list
of things required and the method of making a wedding photo album.
