Mini Scrapbook Day

Hello stamping friends,

It's time for a Fabulous Friday at Sisters in Stamping.  This week we decided to focus on Mini Scrapbooks in honor of National Scrapbook Month (and National Scrapbook Day which is tomorrow).  I love these mini books to give as gifts. What a fabulous way to share some memories with your friends and family.  Some other great ideas for a mini book would be to keep in your purse or to take with you when you are travelling.  You can have your loved ones near you the whole time (okay, only their picture, but still it's better than nothing).

These book are also great projects for children to work on over the Summer to document the fun times they have over Summer Vacation.

Today I made my mini book using brown lunch bags. That's right, a simple little lunch bag was the beginning of this book.  I used the Well Worn Designer Series Paper for a masculine feel for my book.  I titled it "Dad" but that can easily be changed out to a name or another word.

To make the boook I used two brown lunch bags.


Here's the book with the journaling tags that are tucked in the pockets pulled out a little for you to see.


Here's the first set of pages in this mini book.


Here's the second set of pages.


And the final set of pages in the book.


And of course I needed to show you the back of the book.

This is such a fun and really quick project to put together.  If you give it as a gift, the recipient will treasure it for a long time.

SUPPLIES USED:
Cardstock and Paper: Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Night of Navy, and Well Worn Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Star Originals Die, Alphabet Simple Letters Die, Round Tab punch, Neutrals Brads,  baker's twine, dimensionals, and snail adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to head on over to Sisters in Stamping for more mini book inspiration.
