Quick and Easy Mini Album Cube!

Pin It
I love the Cricut Mini Books cartridge!  It is super fast to make a fun little album. This box album came from this cartridge.

Take a look at the Cricut Mini Books cartridge below:

When my son had to make an unusual math project, by picking a number, writing down qualities and examples of that number and then presenting it in a novel way, I knew this mini cube would be perfect.

By the way, who thinks up these weird math assignments?  

Anyway...Robbie wanted to have a super hero theme so we chose super hero paper for the lid (by Close to My Heart) and then used the Cricut Batman cartridge for the inside.
I cut the album at 10-1/2", with white, yellow, and blue for the inside pages and red for the base of the album.

It was the perfect way to show case the qualities of our number "8" and then show a real world example behind the qualities.

If you need to make an album quickly, I highly recommend this cartridge!

Of course, he got a "100" on the project - woo hoo!

Do you make mini albums?  Let me know in the comments below. I like them for gifts and apparently, school assignments (hee hee!).

  2. JOY! As usual a wonderful project!!!
    I think this mini album cart is awesome!!!!

    Got a cartridge question for ya...is there one that has just all kinds of fonts? Like script and fancy and so on? I have plenty that have one font and the fonts are all cutesy or block lettering...I want fancy, script lettering. Any ideas or suggestions???

    Thanks
    one of your CU buddies in Montana!

  4. Great cube! One of my favorite quotes is "Always be yourself, unless you can be batman. Than always be batman." I forget who said it first. My daughter gets irritated with me because I'm always saying "I am Batman" a la Sheldon Cooper (big bang).

  6. What a great project! I agree with you that some of the assignments these days are a bit strange!

    To answer your question, I don't make mini albums but I keep promising myself that I will...someday.

  20. Incredible project! Congratulations to Robbie, (and you), for making the grade. I can relate with the questionable assignments!
    I have made mini albums in the past. But, even miniaturized it takes me forever to finish the details. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fun cartridge!
