A Note from Susie
Hi everyone! 
One of favorite projects in the whole wide world of scrapbooking is the mini album. I love how you can turn a couple of pieces of foam board or chipboard and some cardstock - or even some plain old paper lunch sacks - into something of beauty and lasting value. I love how perfect they are for kids projects. I love using them as extended "What I Love About You Cards" atop special gifts - and I really love finishing an album in one sitting. 
This issue celebrates the mini album - with all kinds of ideas and inspiration for all levels of scrapbooking ability.
Enjoy this issue and enjoy your beautiful world this week!

Theme Mini-Scrapbooks and Gift Albums
A wonderful introduction to the world of gift albums and mini books, from the Scrapbooking channel at about.com. Includes lots of theme ideas and album samples, too. 

Mini-Album Kit: Romance Accordian

I just did the album at right yesterday for my cousin, who is getting married this weekend. It took no time - and I love, love, love the result. I really like how the kit comes with easy to follow instructions to complete the featured projects - but contains enough fun supplies that you can get as creative as you like. Of course, supplies are buffered and 100% acid and lignin free. Romance Kit, $15

I am so, so, so in love with our new Beach Collection. Its cool hues are reminscent of a day at the beach. You'll love the variety - with distressed papers and frames. Matching ribbon, squares, brads, and flowers, too. The papers remind me of my most favorite pair of blue jeans..
