Mini Masterpieces Photo Book


This art book has been on my to-do list for quite some time and I am just tickled pink that it is finally completed!!  

Liz Tamanaha from Paislee Press teamed up with Shutterfly to offer this awesome mini masterpiece book.

I save most all of Anna's artwork in some form.  If the piece is no larger than 12x12, I either keep it in her art box or use it in our Project Life album.  Some of the larger pieces, three-dimensional pieces or just random pieces I photograph and keep an electronic copy.




All of the "masterpieces" I included in this book were photographed and then uploaded to Shutterfly just like any other picture.  I tried to scan a few art pieces in, but I found that the quality of the photographed art was better than the scanned art.





I also used some random pictures of her creating her "masterpieces".  




These are pictures from "My First Book" that Anna made last year.









All in all, I am over the moon with this super adorable album!  I love how all her artwork from age 2 is kept nice and neat in this simple album.  I can't wait to make another one for age 3 and then for my little guy once I get a good pile from him!!

If you have tons of artwork floating around your house I highly recommend photographing it and making your own mini masterpiece album!!  So fun!!

  1. This is just beautiful. My friend created an album like this and it is such a wonderful way to save art without having to take up so much space. I just love that "me" page!

  3. How wonderful! I love how you used technology to make this very special art album. My mom made me art and keepsake albums for my childhood things before we had all this cool tech.
