Summer accordion books

During the summer, we take a lot of photos and it happens that the best moments remain buried deep in the gallery of your phone. What if you tried something different this year? Choose just a few of the most important images that capture one whole trip - and make a **small but special photo book** out of them.

📍 One trip, one story

It doesn't have to be a trip around the world. On the contrary. A minimalist leporello works best when it captures one specific experience - a weekend at the cottage, a trip to the mountains, a vacation day by the water...

One that you'll want to come back to and re-live it.

What makes a leporello special?

There is power in simplicity. A leporello is not about quantity - it's about the story that unfolds as you flip through.

Each page has room to breathe. You can put multiple mini-photos on it, or just one larger photo, leave the page blank and write your memories.

What's more, you can fill some pages with a drawings, tickets, dry flowers… anything that will remind you of your trip.

Leporello as a gift

Leporelo doesn't have to be just for you. It's a lovely gift - for a partner, a friend, a parent.

At first glance, it's inconspicuous... but when you open it, everything unfolds again: the laughter, the views, the experiences. You can have such a beautiful reminder of the time you spent together.

Your words, your style

Photos tell a story on their own, but short text can add emotion, connect moments and underline what's important. There's no need to write long paragraphs - just one sentence, an observation, or even a catchphrase that captured the moment perfectly.

Use your own handwriting, a favourite font or perhaps block letters. Add sketches, emojis, or anything that feels natural. This will make the cardboard even more personal - it won't just be a book of photos, it will be a piece of you.

📚 Collect little leporellos like a diary of summer

A leporello doesn't have to be a one-off fad. How about starting a collection? One for every summer trip, holiday outing or family day out. You can stack them side by side in a box, or put together your own shelf full of memories.

Then, a few years down the line, you'll open one of those little albums and go back - not to some generic summer, but to exactly where it all was.

In conclusion

You don't have to tell the whole summer at once. You can make a book every time you go on a trip when the experience is still fresh in your mind. Plus, there's more time to create in the summer. Just pick a few moments each time - when they're well chosen, they're worth everything.
