The Advantages of Making Mini Albums

 Mini albums are fun to make and also great to store small items such as pictures, cards and other memorabilia that you want to preserve without cluttering your home with bulky photo albums. If you love making mini albums as much as I do, it's only natural that you would want to continue making them in order to preserve all your precious memories from your life and from the lives of your loved ones; friends, family members and pets! Making mini albums has its advantages, including the following





Making mini albums is a great way to save money on scrapbooking supplies. Rather than spending a lot on larger albums, you can make numerous smaller ones and arrange them in different ways so they don’t take up as much space. To make sure that your albums stay durable, however, you should use archival-quality materials and add reinforcements when necessary. It’s also important to use high-quality supplies when making these mini scrapbooks




The best part about making mini albums is that they require you to use only a small number of pages, thereby saving you time. Most scrapbookers end up using more than half a dozen pages in an album and it’s not uncommon for them to get into trouble because of that. When you’re working on a mini album, you don’t have to worry about investing a lot of money and time in it.




It's really fun to turn a bunch of random photos into a mini album, and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon with your favorite child or friend. Decorating them adds another element of fun, as you can mix and match all sorts of scrapbook papers and embellishments. Just don't go overboard—if you add too many embellishments, your album will end up looking tacky instead of cute.




I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love giving handmade gifts to friends and family. What better way to do it than a mini album! They are small enough that you can easily carry them with you wherever you go, but big enough to be able to fit in lots of pictures and memorabilia. There is no limit as to what they can be filled with.


Photo albums are great to have when you're travelling, but they take up a lot of space. If you enjoy photography and documenting your adventures, consider keeping a photo journal in mini-albums. Not only do they take up less space than regular albums, but you can also fit a lot more photos into them than standard 8x10 photographs! Since many photo books are available in hardback as well as paperback form now, it’s never been easier to document your travels while preserving memories at home.

Celticmoon Crafts

    I started Celticmoon Crafts quite a few years ago now. As a passionate crafter I wanted to share my ideas with others, so I started to design my own craft sheets.         This is one of my favorite design sheets. I love anything Oriental.       I produced 20 card making CDroms, covering a range of subjects. This was one of my first CDroms. I love digital crafting. Its much more economical than buying ready printed sheets. If you run put just print another sheets. Of course I have been known to run put of ink before which isn't always good.       I made this card using one of my own designs. Anubis is my favorite Egyptian God. He gets a lot of undeserved bad publicity in my opinion.     I've done a lot of craft fairs in the past.  Sometimes they are very very good and sometimes very very bad. I have been to craft fairs where I have sold loads, and I have been to ...

The Great Pumpkin is on The Way

    Like many people I am a great fan of the Peanuts Cartoon Strip, and in particular the ever lovable dog Snoopy. What would the Pesnuts Gang be without him?. Anyone who follows the adventures of the Peanuts Gang will know its almost time for The Great Pumpkin. According to Linus he comes every year delivering toys and gifts to the good boys and girls who sit in the pumpkin patch on Halloween waiting for him to arrive. Of course he eaits every year  usually with Snoopy and The Great Pumpkin never arrives, but he never looses faith  and every year he is back thete waiting.     Halloween is still two months away, but of course we crafters have to get ready for it on lots of time. I am working on things for a craft fair  but I am also trying to get things made to go into my etsy shop. You can check out my shop here  Celticmoon Crafts Shop     These cute little treat bags are going in thos week. They will be £1.50 each and come ...

Health Scare

I have been notably absent over the past couple of weeks. The reason is I have had a health Scare. I returned from the MPC Gala in Edinburgh at the begining of May and developed a niggly pain in my right foot. I thought I had overdone it a bit at the Gala so didn't take much notice. However the pain got worse and eventually I had to go and see my Doctor. She thought I may have  a stress fracture and sent me for an X Ray to check. My X Ray showed a lesion on my toe joint that could not be identified. I was immediately referred to an Orthopaedic Oncologist. Then followed the worst two weeks of my life. As a nurse all of the worst case scenario's went through my head. Sometimes a little bit of k owledge is a bad thing. If I slept for 3 hours a night I was lucky. It was just hell. On Friday I finally went for my appointment. I am hugely relieved to say the specialist is certain the lesion is benign. I have to go for an MRI scan but he has no concerns. I do have a fracture which is ...
