Last month my sister was looking for Christmas presents to give to her scrapbooking friend, when I remembered awesome miniature ornament books she made with pictures of us from our trip to Ireland. I thought “How about one of those books put together in a scrapbooking style?” She and I spent one evening putting together books, hers for her friends, mine for my shop. Originally we were going to decorate the inside pages so all that had to be done was to print out mini pictures and glue them in, but then we came up with the idea of putting together a kit, so that someone who enjoys cropping, could do it all themselves. I had SO much fun putting these together. I want to make more and more and more.
There are two kits currently available in my shop here and here. Each “scrapbook” is mini less than 3 inches squared, hard covered and handbound with scrapbooking papers. They have ribbon closures, so you can tie them closed and hang them up somewhere. Each kit contains one book and over 30 little items to decorate the scrapbook pages, including all sorts of corresponding papers (solids, designed, edged, circles, hearts, embossed), sequins, brads, paper flowers, ribbon and tags. All you need for this kit is to print out miniature pictures of your own and get to scrapbooking on a lilliputian scale!
Knowing me, is knowing I LOVE everything miniature and I’m pretty smitten with these books and kits.

Ummm…GENIUS!! I love them…soooo adorable. I am also (if you didn’t notice with the robots) a lover of all things tiny. LOVE THESE!!
Love how many components this has! I could arrange and rearrange these over and over.
See there! I knew you had fun stuff to blog about. And there’s still more…
Now I have Pixies, GIGANTIC! stuck in my head. (Big, big love….)
I have to echo Rachel and say that this is pure genius!!!
Your Miniature Scrapbook and kit looks awesome Just curious to know where can I buy this and at what cost? nice blog.
This is a winner of an idea! I hope no one swipes the idea from you. You should go to a business that does scrapbooking and let them buy the idea from you. Genius!
This is a great idea! I was just out browsing some local stores yesterday and saw little packets of ephemera that a local artist put together for scrapbooking and collage; she’s selling them for three bucks & I thought it was brilliant. (I had no case otherwise I would have bought several!) I like the addition of the little books. Well done! (Would be great stocking stuffers next year!)
