8×8 albums are a wonderful size for a gift album, birthday album, December Days album, Halloween costume album, mini travel album, baby book, grandma brag book, etc. I just love this size!

You’ll need one pack of Creative Memories 12×12 paper in whatever theme you want your album to be. It can be generic like a Totally Tonals Paper Pack or a theme such as a Christmas Paper Pack . For this video I’m using the citrusy paper from our National Scrapbook Day 2023 collection.

Here is the Video! The instructions are below and can also be found on the free 8×8 Fast Formula handout. Have fun! When you make an 8×8 album using this formula, be sure and tag me on your post so I can see and celebrate with you! I would love to see what you create and also who or what you made the album(s) for!

If you have Creative Memories Border Maker System, you may want to punch a border along the edge of your medium sheets of paper. Check out my YouTube video on How to Use the Border Maker System for more ideas and inspo. I’ll post part 2 soon for ideas on adding stickers and embellishments as well as a flip-through of the finished album!


Happy Scrappin,
