Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with blessings and warm, happy moments. And for those memories, I'm sharing a tiny scrapbook titled Give Thanks that would be perfect for some special little photos. I think it's the "miniest" mini album I've ever made!

Look how small it is! 💕 I created it with one of Lori's amazing cutting files called 2x2 Accordion Mini Album and the Echo Park, I love Fall Collection also designed by Lori (links below).

First, let's look at this little cutie, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it with a tutorial below.
I just love that it looks like a miniature book. It has an orange and green scalloped spine, pretty pattern papers, and a Give Thanks title sticker on the cover from the 12x12 elements sheet.

Inside, there are 16 little scrapbook pages (8 double-sided). I added some fun shaped journaling spots and photo mats using a 2" scallop circle punch and a 1.75" circle punch by Marvy Uchida.

You could use each page in this album for photos, or ... mix it up and add embellishments on some of them like I did. Above, I added the Harvest Blessings sticker from the sticker book.

The journaling spots are perfect for adding dates, names, locations, events, or ... what you and your family are most grateful for this year.

This project could be a cute little gift idea for after Thanksgiving. Make them for your guests with pictures from the holiday. Or ... create this tiny album with ANY paper collection and it could be a fun Christmas present or stocking stuffer idea!
Now, for some instructions ...
3. Then, I adhered each 1/2” tab to the back of the page before it until I had all 8 pages glued together.
4. The very first page still has a tab on the left side, so I adhered the inside front cover here.
5. The inside back cover has a tab on it, so I adhered this to the last page of the album.

7. Finally, I adhered the 2 scallop accent pieces next to the spine on the front and back, then used liquid adhesive to fold the orange spine around the entire left side of the book.
There
is no need to adhere any of the pages back to back or to the spine. They stay nicely in their accordion shape once the spine piece goes on. Once the book is complete ... it's time to decorate!

I hope you’ll try this fun project made with Lori’s 2x2 Accordion Mini Album cutting file and her fabulous I Love Fall Collection designed for Echo Park.
