Inside: how to make a one sheet wonder mini album
I sometimes feel bored with making mini albums and that I’m doing the same things over and over again, so I decided to challenge myself to do something different. The challenge was to make a mini album from only one sheet of 12×12 cardstock including a cover…
WHAT IS A ONE PAGE WONDER PROJECT
A one sheet wonder project is a craft project that is made from only one piece of paper, ususally fom a 12×12 or a 8.5×11 paper. These projects are usually mini albums and cards and they are very popular because they are easy and fast to make.
WHY MAKE ONE SHEET WONDER MINI ALBUMS
- This type of mini album is very fast to make so if yo want to make a project in one afternoon or in a crop this is the project for you.
- It is easy to make and doesn’t require special skills.
- You only need one sheet of paper to make it so it’s vey frugal and cost effective.
- Although you make it from only one page it still has room for a good number of photos and journaling.
- You can use it as an insert for a larger mini album or a scrapbook page.
- This mini album can be a small brag book and as a gift for someone special.

Can you slow down when you are doing your vidoe so that we can make the progject thank you .here is my email. ljlaurie61@gmail.com
When I do projects with long instructions I push the pause button until I catch up or write them down. Sometimes videos will pause if you hit “k”, or just use the pause button. It needs to make sense to me before I move on!
