I have gotten emails with this question enough times that I thought it might be worth a blog post. "What's the best way to incorporate both landscape and portrait photos into a minibook?" I have a few ideas. Option one : Don't worry about the direction. Make a book that's a square shape and…

Where am I going? A little art book of photos and patterns. The colors in this simple book are favorites right now. Creams, blues, greens, and yellows. Not exactly fall colors but fun none the less. Pieces of this book are going to be available in a kit for Wednesday's update. It's hard to see…

I love how this book turned out. I finished it last night and immediately googled to find out where I can buy more of these little mini binders. I am going to make similar albums for the wedding and honeymoon. And then someday I'll have little kids and they'll get little books too. When I…

Done + done. I brought the base of a book to New York last weekend, filled it with polaroids, tickets and business cards while we were there and then added 4×6 photos and parts of our map yesterday. A travel album is a concise way to get travel photos + travel thoughts together in one…

Little books are my favorite thing to make. They are concise. They can be made out of anything. They can stick with a theme. They can be clean and organized. They can be messy and fluid. Here is a list of many of them. You can also see more photos in my flickr. I store…
