So many styles, so many reasons to make them! Whether they're accordion folded, stitched together, ribbon-tied, or paper-punched and bound with binder rings, these mini-books are perfect for celebrating everything from holiday memories to childhood events. Every one of the 45 projects is charming and quick to craft, as well as a delightful way to explore the small-scale book form. Create precious keepsake volumes that feature fabulous folds, hideaway pockets, die-cut designs, and pretty embellishments such as charms and sequins. All the basic techniques are covered, along with plenty of tip boxes, advice on choosing paper and other materials, and templates.
Although this book seemed to me a little above my head as a beginning scrapper, I was still very pleased with my purchase. This book was especially helpful in showing different folds, explaining how different shortcuts could be used and finally, it was just so beautiful! Even if I never scrap to the level of these ideas, the dreaming and the attempt will be worth it.
Full of Ideas!

This is a fantastic book of ideas and inspiration. The first chapter details some basic information that some may already be familiar with and new crafters will appreciate. Among this section, embellishments, adhesives, and various techniques are covered. Photos and instructions are also included. Each chapter of mini-books is themed and includes such themes as Family Memories and Birthday Wishes just to name two. Within those themed chapters are several books that feature eye candy to inspire your projects complete with a material list and instructions. Great job Roxi.

This is a fabulous idea book, very creative and inspiring. I've already copied several of the ideas. I appreciate the hard cover and the binding that allows the book to lie flat on the table.
Great book!

Wow, what a book! Roxi Phillips has out done herself with this book! The pictures & instructions are clear & easy to follow. I've done several of the books featured & plan to do everyone of them in the near future! Great work Roxi!
Great Ideas! "Do-able" projects! This one is a keeper.

I have purchased many idea books in my time and often most of the projects just aren't "do-able." This book is great! Every project is something that I could see myself doing (in fact I've done a couple of them already) and the instructions are step by step. Even if you are an advanced scrapper, there are some cute, original ideas in here for mini albums. I understand it's a new author, but I hope to see more from her! This book is a keeper!!
