A great gift or a great way to celebrate a special occasion is with a mini album. A mini album is a smaller album such as a 6x6 or 8x8 size. It usually only contains a certain event or a theme. The layouts are usually all the same and use minimal embellishments.

Mini albums are fun to create because you can complete a whole album in a couple of hours. It makes you feel like you accomplished something. With the bigger albums, I usually have a huge stack of photos that never seem to end. But with a mini album, I know an end is in sight!

Mini albums don't have to be albums. They could be tags, matchstick cases, or cd holders. You can make an album out of almost anything. For instance a school themed mini album could be made from pencil shaped paper adhered together.

Theme albums are my favorite. These combine different pictures to make an album. It could be your favorite pictures, pet pictures, or anything you have. An example

Mini albums are a great thing to scrapbooking. I would recommend you make one this week end!

I have been scrapbooking for over 7 years now. I have made several scrapbooks for different clients. I enjoyed doing that been I am more focused on getting my work published on websites and magazines. I have been on 2 different design teams, the most recent being for ScrapbookPal.com, They carry Tombow, Fiskars, Herma and more.
