Tutorial on SCS - Mini Photo Book
Angie Tieman wrote this weeks tutorial. It is on how to make a Mini Photo book. And when we say mini, we mean small. LOL I had to try it out right away. My pages are super simple because well….it was late at night and the pages are small. LOL It is so adorable though. You really should make one!
The finish book measures 2 1/2″ x 4″.
I used Chocolate Chip for my cover. The corner was rounded with a long retired large corner rounder from Stampin’ Up!.
The designer paper is from the Spring Silhouette Designer Paper Pack.
It measures 2 1/8″ x 2 1/2″, was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and paper pierced (of course) on the top and bottom.
Chocolate Taffeta Ribbon was tied around the top. Over it I adhered a chipboard heart from the On Board Accents Pack (There is a special on any Chipboard item going on right now with Stampin’ Up! Talk to your demo for more details). that heart was first covered with Tea Time Designer Paper and paper piercing was added. On the lower left hand side a Vanilla button was added. The Vanilla ribbon strip that is tied through the button holes is a piece of Vanilla Taffeta ribbon.
My title comes from two different stamp sets. Fabulous is from Many Happy Returns, daughter is from Wonderful Favorites. I stamped the words in Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla Cardstock and punched it out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch.
The coaster pages on the inside were covered in the same patterned paper from the Spring Silhouette Designer paper pack that is shown on the front.
All I did was layer my pictures on a Very Vanilla cardstock base and tape to the pages.
The tabs were punched out with the Round Tab Punch and adhered to the back of the pages with Sticky Strip. The back of the last page holds the journaling.
Rebecca and every other third grader at her school got to practise on a violin every week in music class for a while. Then each class played three songs on their recital. I was very worried about going. Violins can sound horrid if played wrong. 20 violins at one time playing wrong…oh my imagination was running wild. But the kids did an amazing job.
waaaaaaaay Cute, Beate! That Angie is so clever!
What a fabulous mini book - totally cute Beate! I am definitely making one of these - makes a great gift! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Adding to my list of project I REALLY want to do!
This is the cutest thing ever, wouldn’t it be awesome to make them up with friends school photos? Can’t wait to try this out!
This is fabulous!!! I love it and I need to try one!
Love this little mimi book!!!
LOL!!! I sooo agree about how the violin can sound if not played correctly. That screeching is horrible!!! I sat through many evening of this when my son was first learning to play. He’s now been playing for 9 years, but every once in awhile I still hear it!!! (I think he does it just to get me!!!).
Wow, that’s adorable!
Very cute! A couple of questions… How many pages can it hold? The jumbo eyelet is the only thing holding it together, right?
Wowwwwww, Beate…das ist so wunderschön. Ich bin begeistert! Superschönes Papier hast du dir für dein book ausgesucht…:-) Deine Kleine ist so süß!
Liebe Grüße, Silke
Oh wow…this is fantastic!!! I saw the tutorial and want to give it a go…hope I can find time tomorrow! I love the violin! So beautiful!
Beate, this is adorable! I LOVE it! So glad the concert was enjoyable!
Oh wow!!! Your project is so cool!!! Glad to read that the recital was enjoyable. I could only imagine the sounds had it not gone so well. YIKES!
This is so cute! I love that it’s “simple” because it focuses on the photos! Too cute!
very cute Beate! I love the colors you chose!
Your mini book is awesome, Beate!! I love your chipboard heart and buttons! I saw the Angie’s tute at SCS… and it looks like fun!
Great petite photo book! Working on such a small scale is a bit challenging for me, you sure had no problem! Great brad and love your stitching! Take care. Hugs, Deb
YOurs turned out super cute, Beate!! Love your version! That is SO cool Rebecca and the other students got to play violin! I would love our students to have that musical opportunity, so glad she had it!
I should make one shouldnt I?? or two maybe?? lol … love your book and I’m sure its something Rebecca will cherish for a long long time. Maybe I’ll make mine tomorrow after I do the slicing & dicing for Saturday’s SAS

WOW !! Small is right!! Cute idea to stick in a Christmas stocking!
I can hardly wait to give this a try !!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT !!!
Very pretty! I love the colors you used.
I have read the SCS instructions. It would make a perfect little gift for my niece graduating from 8th grade. I do have one question. I am not understanding how the the two inside pages swivel out. The eyelet sets the page in place, doesc’t it? So does it swivel?
Thank you, JudyOR
Beate - this is totally cute!!! I love it!!!
