Scrapbook Albums – Two Mini-Books

Small Bits of Time

Mini-booking has never been the same ever since I conceived my method of task-batching them. I can do it in small bits of time without having piles of products all over my table — no stacks of patterned papers, adhesives, embellishments, ribbons, photos, etc.

I finished step one of the task-batching process knowing it would be a few days before I would have time to come back to work on this mini-book. No worries — my table is clean thanks to my task-batching method!

1.5 Hour Chunk

And then there was this mini-book where I had the opposite situation –

I had an hour and a half to scrapbook and I was able to move fast to do everything but the actual adhering (since I’ll adhere it in an upcoming Paperclipping Video Tutorial for the Members). Most of that hour and a half was concentrated on journaling, which let’s you know how fast the design itself came together. This one has a lot of journaling.

By the time I adhere it all, it will have taken a total of two hours at the most! That’s it! I never would have imagined I could complete an entire mini-album in two hours! That has always been how long I’ve spent on single layouts!

I’m excited to share these mini-books with you in upcoming video tutorials. If you’re a Paperclipping Member who loves mini-books — or if you’ve found them overwhelming in the past — be sure to watch Episode 150 – Task-Batch Minibooking if you haven’t seen it already. This method is a game-changer.

I would love to know which of our members have tried this yet!

Then keep your eyes open for a future episode to come soon with even more tips for faster mini-books without compromising your style!
