This mini scrapbook has pages that are 6 inches wide and 8 inches tall. Each one has a large pocket that can hold recipe cards, memorabilia, matted photos, or greeting cards. You can use it as an organizer or a creative scrapbook. To begin, you will need two sheets of chipboard that are cut to 8 ¼ x 6 ½ inches. To cover the chipboard you will need 4 sheets of patterned paper also cut to 8 ¼ x 6 ½ inches. For the inside pages you need 6 sheets of 12x12 inch double-sided patterned paper, cardstock weight will work best. I also used three key rings that snap open, a paper trimmer, hole punch and adhesives (a glue stick and photo tape). The paper shown here is all from the Charlotte collection from Scenic Route Paper Co.
