I originally checked this book out at the library and then wanted to purchase it and I did and this book has got to be the best book if you want to do all different types of scrapbooks. I wanted to try the lunch bag one, my friend got one as a gift from her baby shower...I will definitely be using this book a lot as the directions for each item is so easy to read and things you have on hand and can recycle into something so nice for someone. You have to get this book! Easy to read and follow along w/each description of the finished product! I gave it 5 stars...thanks!

If you're anything like me, you sometimes hit a creativity lull. No matter how hard you try, you can't think of new ways to scrap your pictures. This book can open the door to a whole new aspect of scrapbooking. The author shows how she fell in love with mini albums and how you can too. She has amazing ideas, things you'd never even think of, and step-by-step instructions on how to make each one. I especially liked the Starbucks Coffee Cup album. What a cute idea! I really recommend this book.

This book is filled with detailed understandable instructions. Creating any or

3.0 out of 5 stars :-( An Idea Book -- Not a How-To book. :-(
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
A 3-star rating of "It's Okay" pretty much describes this. I thought I was buying a book which would teach me how to actually construct different types of mini-albums myself but this is more of an idea book, with suggestions for themes and ways to embellish pages, like so many already out there for scrapbookers. There are a few new book/album types, with instructions & templates for actually constructing the albums, but most of it isn't so different from idea books for embellishing larger scrapbook pages.

This is such a fun book. There are so many different types of fun mini-albums that can be made by young and old. I have made the CD case album and the paper bag album and both turned out so cute. The instructions, along with the pictures, are easy to follow. I can't wait to make more of the mini-books.

Gets you mind going on how many you'll do; but wonder which one FIRST. Great book of ideas, not just for "albums", but general layouts of pages in an art journal, or card, or anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of ideas for mini books!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
Although this book is quite old, it's still very relevant today, especially if you put a mixed-media twist to your pages. It may not be groundbreaking in terms of its content, but it's a great collection of ideas for making mini albums and journals. I especially like the upcycling projects using cardboard, paper bags, CDs and board books. Of course, you can find similar projects on the internet for free, but it's still nice to have a collection of ideas in a handy book that you can just pull off your bookshelf if you need inspiration. I love the messy style of these little books and although this publication is aimed at scrapbookers primarily, most mixed-media artists will also find it interesting and relevant as there's definitely a cross-over between the two styles. We just like to use more paints and inks and messy stuff instead of patterned paper, but the actual construction of the mini books is still the same! One advantage of buying older books is that you can usually pick them up for just a couple of pounds, which made this book unbelievably good value for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Buch das Spaß macht
Reviewed in Germany on August 6, 2014

In diesem Buch werden zahlreiche Ideen für aussergewöhnliche Mini-Alben( zum Teil aus Alltagsgegenständen wie z.B. CDs oder ausgedienten Kaffee-to-go-Bechern) vorgestellt. Auch ohne Englisch-Kenntnisse kommt man sehr gut zurecht, da Bilder die Vorgehensweise verdeutlichen. Auf jeden Fall ein lohnenswertes Buch, sowohl für Anfänger als auch für Scrapbooker, die schon einige Projekte selbst angefertigt haben. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
