I am at work and am trying to put together an insert for the mini catalog (shhh, don't tell). Can someone give me the measurements of the mini catalog? Thank you,
 
They are 4x6. I have two inserts - one that is printed on an index card and one that is 4 to a page. The 4 to a page you will have to customize with your contact info, and trim a bit off the left and right to make it fit into the catalog.

Hope you find them useful!
