Mini Scrapbook for 6 Pictures in 5 Easy Steps
Often paper crafters are afraid to try Scrapbooking because they think it's too expensive and time-consuming. So why not try this Mini Scrapbook as your first project... it takes minimal supplies (most you already have on hand!) and will take less than 2 hours to complete!
And because this project is so easy, it's a great way to introduce children to Scrapbooking too. What a great project for a rainy afternoon... for your tween and her friends... for you and your friends for a Gals Night In Party! For whatever reason you choose, you'll LOVE this simple but wonderful Mini Scrapbook!
Supplies you will need:
Card stock in Black, Green, Red and Yellow (or colors of your choice)
Rubber Stamping Ink and Markers in colors slightly darker than your card stock
Accessories to embellish your creation - purchased, or created with rubber or acrylic stamps, ink, markers and punches
Adhesives: double-sided, permanent, acid-free (tape and foam dots preferred)
Tools: Paper Cutter with Cutting and Scoring Blades; Scissors; Ruler
Step by Step Instructions:
1. Cut and score your card stock as follows:
Black: 4 x 12", scored at 3.25, 3.5, 6.75, 7, 10.25 and 10.5" [Scrapbook base]
Green: 3 x 7.5", scored at 3.75" [Flip-out Page #1]
Yellow: 3 x 7.5", scored at 3.75" [Flip-out Page #2]

Red: 1.75 x 8.75", scored at 2.25, 2.5, 6 and 6.25" [Belly Band]
2. Decorate each Flip-Out Page as you wish - here's a few suggestions:
Add a coordinating piece of printed paper cut to 2.5 x 3"
Use scissors or a Corner Rounder Punch on each corner of every Flip-Out Page
Add a 2.5 x 3" piece of neutral card stock for journaling
3. After decorating, adhere each Flip-Out Page to the Scrapbook base. You may place the pages so each flips open to the same side, or alternate left - right - left, as you choose.
4. Adhere your photos now... you're almost done!
5. Create and place the Belly Band (used to secure the Scrapbook) as follows:
Wrap Band around the Scrapbook, matching the score lines to the folds of the Scrapbook
Overlap the ends on the front of the book and add an embellishment to cover up the overlapped area.
CONGRATULATIONS! You're done! Now your Mini Scrapbook of cherished memories is ready to share with friends and family!
