A bingo card mini album is a real consversation piece. You can make one easily using CropMom's online digital scrapbooking software, your photos, 5" by 7" chipboard and assorted embellishments.

This fun scrapbook album is a hybrid scrapbooking project, which means it combines digital scrapbook layouts with tradiational scrapbook embellishments. In our album, a bingo card, word search or crossword puzzle is used as the backdrop for every page. We bound our album using the Zutter Bind-it-All, which creates a professional, spiral notebook-style binding. The fun part was embellishing our album with ribbons, buttons, rhinestones, charms and silk flowers.

We chose to create a heritage album, featuring photos of two young brothers growing up in the 1940s and '50s. But you can create a bingo card scrapbook for almost any theme. CropMom offers bingo, crossword puzzle and word search cards for a variety of themes, including birthday, Christmas, Halloween and general use.
