gorgeous little mini album

looking for mini album inspiration for your next mini project? Check out these two random Mini Albums that have caught my attention in the past. I've added them to my list of projects i am yet to create! lol.I have always wanted to use Nail Varnish on an arty project. Alexandra has made these clever tag mini books and embellished them with nail polish.
Pennants, especially pennant banners are hot, they're at birthday parties and wedding celebrations, and i seem them framed as wall art, and now you have a mini pennant notebook.

I found these little darlings at the cheap psychology blog. They'd make great little gifts or party favors at birthdays. Easy to make with or without the accucut die cutting machine that Doris used to create her pennant minis. After all they are simple triangles.

Crocheted Mini Scrapbook



Have you ever tried blending a crafting passion that you have with another to create something totally unique. Say Painting and sewing, knitting and card making. Kerri has used a combination of two crafting techniques that she is passionate about, making mini albums and crochet. While is may sound like an unusual mix the end product is this gorgeous hand crocheted mini book.

As you can see each page has been hand crocheted around the edges to create a detailed border. The album is even bound together using a single crochet stitch.

Follow along with Kerris Crocheted Mini Scrapbook tutorial to create this fab little mini album. If you don't know how to crochet then pick up a 'crochet for dummies' book from your library. Or you can simple google 'how to crochet'

I learned the basic single crochet(sc) double crochet (dc) and a half double crochet stitch in under an hour when i needed to make a baby cocoon photography prop that i just had to have. It's really quite easy. I'll take crochet over knitting any day.
