Here is a little tour around my favourite mini books in my mini book basket. I made most of them a while ago now, and it is interesting to see how my style has matured and is now more creative. The photos are very very roughly in order of when I made the books. If anyone would like to see more of a particular book please leave a comment saying which and I can do another post with a walk through.
HAPPY DAYS
This little book is made from one sheet of 12x12 paper and scraps of paper. It celebrates a weekend I spent with my friend and her little girl one easter.
A BAG OF NEW YEAR CHEER
AN INTERACTIVE MAP FOLD BOOK
I adore this format of mini book and have now made several. They are tricky to make but I love the hidden pockets and flaps you can build into it!
A TAG BOOK CELEBRATING A WEEK LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS ONE YEAR
I made this a few years ago before I discovered Journal Your Christmas!
A BOOK ABOUT US
I have several books about us! This is one of my favourites. It has chipboard pages and is really chunky to hold and feel.
A SUMMER FUN BOOK
I made the pages of this book out of chipboard using some Sizzix dies. I used scraps of paper again. I often use up scraps in mini books. A lot of love goes into them though!
COFFEE CUP MINI BOOKS
I love these downloadable mini book hybrids. You can search for them over at Two Peas.
MY YEARBOOKS
This year I involved with two year book projects. I decided to do both as mini books. The first is Document 2010 a Shimelle project.
And the next is the ScrapaGoGo Yearbook
Wow! That turned into a bit of a monster post! Sorry guys! You must be seriously sick of my mini books!! That isn't even all of the ones I was going to post *blush!*
Well, hope you like them.

Ha! Just found this post (catching up this morning).
I love mini-books! I make them myself and offer them in my shop. However, yours are better than mine!!!
I think I have seen a few of them before, in other posts - esp. the two yearbooks and the coffee-cup books, but I recognised the "About Us" one as well, I think...
Anyway, I like them and would have no problem with reading more detailed posts about your favourite ones.
