Mini Scrapbook... I mean really mini!

Yes, that is a bottle cap!






You can make this with more pages than 4. It just gets a little tricky to keep all of the circles connected and you need to keep it thin enough to fit in your 1" circle punch. When you fan-fold the paper you need to keep the folds inside not as tall as your outside piece (see diagram). It may take you a couple tries to get them to stay connected, it did me. By keeping the inside folds not as tall, when you punch you'll be punching ever-so-slightly beyond the fold (so they stay connected).



Other options: pictures of your kids, pets or whatever you can punch out of a 1" circle. How about words that inspire you! It is small enough to keep in your purse or pocket, and pull out at any time.
