Sometimes, a 12×12 scrapbook album just feels like a LOT.  Luckily, mini books are there for smaller, more approchable projects!

You’re creating amazing art and having fun doing it, but you want it to be more meaningful than pretty pictures and doodles…

Maybe you want to…

  • Stop staring at the blank page, not knowing what to create
  • Tell your story better in your art journal, scrapbooks or more
  • Have endless ideas of where to start creating, whenever you sit down with your supplies
  • Try some new techniques to get a new look in your journals
  • Have a little more fun exploring single themes to tell your story in a smaller album!

You can have all of these things. The best part: I’ve got something to help.

THE SCRAP SCHOOL SUMMIT: MINI BOOKS EDITION WAS CREATED TO INSPIRE YOU TO GET YOUR BIG (AND LITTLE) STORIES COLLECTED IN FUN MINI ALUBMS!
We’ve curated  a  collection of expert-led sessions and hands-on workshops to empower you with the tools, techniques, and inspiration you need to create stunning mini scrapbooks. From design tips to storytelling strategies, we’ve got you covered!
18+ experts over 3 days will teach you strategies you can use to improve your art or scrapbooking practice, become more creative, and use it to tell your story using mini books!

Maybe you’re…

  • Sick of staring at a blank page (or a screen!), wanting to create something, but don’t know where to start
  • Tired of looking through your photos on your phone and scrapbooks and not knowing where the STORY is amongst the photos and scrapbook supplies
  • Tired of using the same techniques over and over again, but too afraid to try something new because you don’t know where to start
  • Loving seeing all of the digital planners and scrapbooks around, but having NO idea where to start
  • Overwhelmed by all of the pretty digital papers and supplies out there, and excited because you know you can use them over and over again… but how?!
  • Have lots of images that you want to put to good use, but feel wasteful on a 12 x 12 album
  • Done doing HUGE themes for a whole 12 by 12 album, for the year, or big life events, like college and want to have fun using a single theme on a mini book that you can explore year after year!

Whatever it is for you, it’s time to start telling your story through digital and hybrid scrapbooking techniques.  Come join us for endless inspiration and techniques to help you infuse your story into your visual storytelling or scrapbooking practice during the Scrap School Summit: Mini Books Edition!

Meet Your Host

Allie has been scrapbooking as long as she can remember – what started as a creative way for some “mother daughter time” quickly became a career when Allie discovered that she would love to design products for scrapbookers and creatives.  Armed with a graphic design degree, Allie opened up Allie Scraps and designs printable (and some physical!) products for scrapbookers, planners, and bible journalers. 

Always a fan of “getting messy,” but not liking the clean up, Allie created her line of printable “Art Starts” so she (and others, of course!) could get the messy, painty look without the actual… mess. 

Allie is a fan and collector of all sorts of digital scrapbooking supplies as well as thousands of printable pages. She’s excited to sit down and USE her stash alongside everyone else!

Oh and if you wanna know some personal details: Allie lives in Ohio with her husband and two little boys. Other than creating in any form, she also loves The West Wing, cozy sweatshirts, and brownie batter M&Ms!

Allie created the Scrap School Summit because she’s been struggling, just like you! She loves collecting gorgeous inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram and recreating it… but  sometimes she is missing the STORY on her pages. Let’s “fix” this together!

INSPIRATION, NEW TECHNIQUES, AND SO MUCH MORE

There are a lot of YouTube videos, classes, and workshops out there for scrapbookers… So what makes this one different?

The goal for this edition of the Scrap School Summit: Mini Books Edition is to help you learn techniques and tricks to tell your big (and little!) stories in smaller, more approachable mini albums.

I love seeing all of the inspiration on Instagram, in galleries, and on Pinterest, but I know not everyone has the confidence to bust out new techniques in building some of these gorgeous albums– but  I want to help you build that muscle and get more ideas, scrapbooking techniques, and personal story ideas that you can use in your planners,  journals, and scrapbooks– big and small. 

If you want to: 

  • Gain more inspiration for how to tell your story, with single themes that you can explore year after year
  • Learn new scrapbooking techniques AND storytelling techniques
  • Meet more online friends who love creating in their scrapbooks, just like you
  • Chat with some of the leading experts in the industry and learn from their expertise

This is for you!

It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for crafters, card makers, and Cricut lovers, but this one has been created specifically for scrapbookers, journalers, or planners who want to combine all of the things they love into mini albums– learning all sorts of techniques!

The main portion of the summit runs from October 25-27th, 2023 We’ll kick off on October 24th with an opening call and the Facebook community will be available right when you get your ticket!

Each video will be available for 24 hours on our Scrap School Summit Website. You’ll be able to view each presentation for 24 hours from the time they release (9 AM EST). However, you can grab the All Access “Hall Pass” to get lifetime access to all of the videos and tons of speaker bonuses!

Nope. Speakers will only get your email address if you sign up for their freebies or offerings. (Either below the video presentation, or in the All Access Hall Pass, depending on the offering.)

To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at the scheduled time each day.  You’ll be able to view each presentation for 24 hours from the time they release (9 AM EST). Most speakers will also be in the Facebook group to answer any questions you might have about their presentations! 

All videos will be captioned! Summarized downloads will be available as well!

All of our speakers for this summit have been hand-picked and our slots are currently full. However, we’re open to additional affiliates or potential speakers at next year’s summit. If you’re interested in affiliate details or being considered for future Scrap School Summits in 2023, apply here. Want to be an affiliate for this year’s summit? Email me here.

Every round we bring together experts to teach you new strategies and techniques that are currently working today so you can use more digital and printable supplies to tell your story.

This edition is all about Mini Books, so you can ditch the 12 x12 “huge project” overwhelm and have a little bit more fun exploring single themes on a smaller album.

If you’ve joined us on a previous summit you may recognize some familiar faces from speakers from previous editions – hello old friend!

We wanted to clarify: All the presentations are completely new from this round!
