Mini Album Scrapbooking Ideas

Most of us have treasured cards and letters that we have stashed away in boxes somewhere. Here are some mini album scrapbooking ideas to store these in a more appropriate way.

We all have treasured cards made by our children and loved ones. You may even have some old love letters stashed away, that you can’t bear to throw out. It makes sense to keep all these memories in one place, with no risk of them getting lost. I tried storing mine in a pretty box, and then moved onto a pretty tin, but both weren’t ideal.

Make an envelope scrapbook mini album to keep all those memories in. Here is a list of items you might need to make this. Patterned Paper, thin chipboard, fancy punches, flat magnets, A3 papers, ribbon, hole punch, wire and a bind it machine.

Make this scrapbook mini album to keep all those cards and letters in. Make each envelope a new page, and use them either standard size, or make your own individually sized creations. If they are different sizes, try layering them from smallest to largest and you can also tone in some different colors.

You can start by decorating each envelope with either ribbon, embellishments, patterned paper or all of the above. Put a label or journaling on each envelope, so that you can find what you are looking for. A spiral binder is a useful thing to have for this project, but if you don’t bind often, rather than the expense, just take it into a copy shop and ask them to bind it for you.

Cut the thin chipboard to size to be the back and front of your mini album, and you can also decorate the chipboard by either painting it or putting patterned paper over it. A title made of chipboard or thick cardboard would also be fitting for the cover.

If you want your envelopes to close securely, try this idea. Most craft stores sell flat magnets. Punch out some plain or scalloped circles. In half of them punch out little holes all around the edges. Mount the circles on top of each other with a base color showing up through the circles. Adhere these circles to your envelope flaps. Attach a magnet to the back of each circle and another magnet in the corresponding position inside the envelope to match up. In this way your envelope will stay closed, until being opened for viewing.
