Happy Friday everyone! Surprised to see me?
In honor of Sweet Shoppe Designs’ 7th Anniversary this month, we’re kicking off February a little early with a special Sweet Shoppe New Release Friday this week. Which is awesome for me because I can’t wait to share this week’s new release with you!
I don’t know about you but Valentine’s Day and I are not exactly friends. I’m not the most mushy person in the world to begin with so I always have a hard time coming up with meaningful gifts for Valentine’s Day. I mean, candy, hearts, chocolate, it’s all so generic. So this year I decided I wanted to come up with a more creative & unique way to show a little love to the most important people in my life.
Which brings me to today’s release…
This week at SSD I’m releasing a brand-new set of photo book templates, the “10 Things I Love You” Mini Photo Book Templates. These mini-sized templates are perfect for designing your own list-lovin’ 6×6-inch or smaller photo book or mini album.
The mini book is made up of 10 sections numbered 1-10. Each numbered section of the mini book is made up of 2 two-page templates for a total of 4 pages: one accent & number spread and one photo & text spread, each themed around this idea of “YOU” like so:

To make printing extra easy on you, I’ve included two sets of templates in one download: one 6×6-inch set which can be customized for any photo book printer and a second slightly smaller 5.25×5.25-inch Mpix.com print-ready set which is perfectly sized for the 5×5 Custom Hardcover Coffee Table Book from Mpix. I used Mpix for printing my own photo book and not only was the process super quick & easy (my book arrived in 3 days!) but the quality was top-notch as well. Highly recommended!
Of course, I had a ton of fun designing my own pre-Valentine’s Day gift for my husband using these templates. There’s something so incredibly cool about seeing your own work as an adorable little book. Plus I guarantee your giftee will ooo and awe at your mad digi skills when it’s printed in such a legit-looking way.

Plus my husband? Totally got a little teary-eyed looking through this mini book from his normally non-mushy wife. So if you’re looking to score some major wife-y points, I highly recommend making your own lovey-dovey mini book. And with these templates, it couldn’t be any easier.
