A good overview of the world of mini albums. This is a first for the author and at first, you wonder where her work is a she shows you mini albums by other people... then you get into her creative works. It's all very helpful if you are learning this craft.

Great book for creating some very unique mini-albums. I used the book to teach a class about making mini-albums with used CD cases. It was a very big hit! I also made a cute paper bag album. It is a book that I am constantly referring to. I have some unused coffee filters that I plan on using to create something very cool. ;-)

The instructions were easy. But the designs were too over the top for me. Tags, ribbons, and other stuff stickin out of them, that had a tint of being messy and falling apart to me. I did like the themes to them though just not some of the designs.

This is a fantastic idea book. There are so many mini scrapbooks that I now want to make. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The materials used are ingenious, and a smart way to recycle.

I will recommend this book, if not buy it myself!

Every two pages is a new mini album. It shows only a page or two inside each album. I like to see inside the album. It is more about the different shapes and sizes of mini albums.

I haven't actually made anything from this book yet, but I plan to. So far I've checked it out from the library twice and adored the mini scrapbook projects more each time.

I can tell it is getting close to Christmas b/c I am getting my "craft" on. I wish I were this clever.

Cute mini albums, but would have liked to see more of the individual pages in each album.

Great ideas in this. Gave me an idea for a Valentine's gift for Hubster and he really liked it.
