Mini books for travel and everyday memorabilia: If you've recently taken a vacation or gone out for a night on the town, you may have picked up a few cool mementos like restaurant cards, concert tickets, playbills, postcards, and more. While collaging some of them onto your pages is a cool option, consider tucking them inside a mini book that fits right onto your layout---you'll love how it helps you keep your mementos accessible while still maintaining a sleek and clean look on your layout. That's just what Piradee Talvanna did on her layout. Make your book extendable by including a few extra pages and a clip that will allow you to fit more photos and memorabilia.
