G’Day Crafty Friends,
I have a mini 4 x 6 album to share with you today, created with the School Days 6 x 6 Paper Collection by Paper Rose Studio. I will admit I had so much fun creating this album that I had to stop at 10 pages or I wouldn’t have space for photos.
There’s something so much fun about creating a mini album! This 4″ x 6″ album may be small in size, but there’s plenty of room to add photos, memories and lots of gorgeous little details.
For this project, I wanted to create an album that was not only pretty to look at, but also fun and interactive to flip through. Throughout the album you’ll find a mixture of interactive pages, a waterfall page, pockets and album sleeves, giving you lots of different places to add photos, journaling and special keepsakes.
One of my favourite things about mini albums is discovering something different as you turn each page.
I’ve adhered some of my die cuts inside the album sleeves and others directly onto the outside of the sleeves. By mixing the placement, you create extra layers and dimension while still keeping the album nice and easy to flip through.
You can also tuck die cuts behind photos, have little embellishments peeking out of pockets, or allow pieces to overlap the edge of a sleeve for a more playful look.
Don’t feel that every page needs to follow the same design. Part of the charm of a mini album is having lots of little surprises along the way.
Mix up your page layouts, add a hidden pocket here and there, create a fun flip-out or leave a little space for handwritten journaling.
I think this size album is such a lovely size for documenting a holiday, special celebration, family memories, a collection of favourite photos – or simply those everyday moments you don’t want to forget.
The best part is making it your own. Play with your layers, experiment with your embellishments and add plenty of interactive details.
Most importantly, have fun creating your mini album and filling it with memories you’ll love looking back on!
