Coolest Kid Ever Scrapbook Instructions

I created this with my white Acrylic Tall 4.5" x 6.5" Album and the awesome Echo Park Vroom Collection (also designed by Lori). However ... the highlight of this album are the adorable little race cars on the cover!

I made these using one of Lori's fabulous cutting files called Box Card Race Car. I love how the tires are separate and you can see the pattern paper peeking from behind. I added some enamel dots to the tires for an extra pop of color and shine. So fun! 

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-outs, 2 pockets, 5 flippies, and space for 28 photos. 

This scrapbook would be an amazing little keepsake for your child's or grandchild's photos, and ... it would make a great gift idea. It's perfect for pictures of ...

• everyday memories
• riding go-karts
• a race car themed birthday party
• your children playing with race cars
• building a race car kit
• a Soap Box Derby
• a toy race car collection
• a visit to IndyCar's Indianapolis 500, NASCAR's Daytona 500, or Formula One's Miami Grand Prix
• baby photos, a race car themed baby shower or nursery

This pocket page is ideal for journaling cards, photo mats, or memorabilia like ... tickets to an event or activity, an invitation, a postcard from a race, stickers, a drawing your child made, or a baby announcement.

Any little guy or girl who is into cars and racing would love this new Coolest Kid Ever Mini Album. Head over to my shop for the OOAK premade or the simple step-by-step instructions for this fun project.

NEW! Seaside Memories Scrapbook Mini Album Kit

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a great summer. If you've been to the beach, taken a cruise, spent time boating, or celebrated the 4th of July along the coast ... then this week's new mini album is perfect for you! It's titled Seaside Memories and it has a beautiful nautical and beach theme.

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Simple Stories Red Stripe Designer Binder and the Carta Bella Seashore Collection. I grew up on the beach so this one feels super nostalgic for me. I ❤️ all the lighthouses, boats, sea life, flags, weathered wood, anchors, and boat houses.

Inside the album, I've added 20 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 3 flippies, 10 page protectors, and space for 50+ photos. That's a lot of space and this album is great for so many types of vacations, weekend adventures, and fun activities.  

Let's start with a family beach trip ... add pictures of your cottage / rental, ocean views, sunrises and sunsets, swimming, collecting seashells or sea glass, fishing on shore, relaxing in a hammock, building sand castles, and fun with loved ones.

If you go sightseeing to explore the beach town, don't forget to visit the local lighthouse. I love going to these, discovering the history, and ... after a bit of a climb, the view! It's amazing. Trust me, it's well worth the steps! 

If you're a boater ... this would make a wonderful keepsake for all your sea excursions! Add pictures of your boat, the views of the shore, crystal clear waters, sea life, an afternoon of snorkeling, fishing, the catch of the day, tubing, a sail boat race, and again ... those amazing sunsets. 

If you're taking a cruise ... be sure to capture photos of the enormous ship, your cabin, the deck, the beautiful ocean, a show, cocktails by the pool, swimming, and all the fun shore excursions.

Oh wait! ... You could also use this album for pictures of the Coast Guard, Navy, Marines, a nautical themed retirement or birthday party, nursery photos, or ... a gift for someone that you consider your anchor. ⚓

My new Seaside Memories Mini Album is so wonderful and perfect for YOUR ... seaside memories! Hop over to my shop next to get your own DIY kit or premade. Thanks for visiting the blog and have a great day! 😊

July 4th Scrapbook Page Layout with Video Tutorial

Hello crafty girls! It's time to share my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and step-by-step YouTube video tutorial! For my project, I created a colorful 12x12 July 4th scrapbook page that's perfect for your holiday photos of fireworks, a parade, and fun memories with family and friends.

I designed this with the Bella Blvd, My Life 365 Collection and I highly recommend it for papercrafters. It has papers and embellishments for all of the seasons, holidays, and major themes throughout the year. I've used it in my 12x12 May Layout and my 12x12 Calendar Scrapbook and I absolutely love it.

For this layout, I started with white card stock as the base, then used 2 strips of the 12x12 July paper and 2 of the 12x12 Stars and Stripes print. I also mixed in some Bella Besties in Graph / Dot and Gingham / Stripes (links below). So fun and patriotic!

For the circle, I made 3 square photo mats using the Graph and Dot print in blueberry. Then, I embellished with die cut pieces from the Ephemera Icons and Words. I love how this fun page came together! 

To watch my step-by-step tutorial of this layout, click on the video below ...

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you enjoy this project and have fun with the Bella Blvd, My Life 365 Collection. Below are the product links for easy shopping. Have a wonderful day! 😊

Disney Themed This is Our Happy Place Mini Album

Hello! Recently, I found this Disney themed This is Our Happy Place Mini Album buried in my photos. It was a kit a few years back but for some reason, I never posted about it on the blog so I thought I'd share it today for a little inspiration. It makes a fun scrapbook for your vacation pictures of the happiest place on earth. 

I made the album with two 6x8 inch black chipboard covers, 8 card stock pages, and 2 book rings (links below). Then, I decorated it with the Simple Stories Say Cheese III Collection. Since a lot of the Say Cheese collections are very similar, you could mix and match them. 

On the front cover, I cut the Mickey ears out of red card stock and used one of the 4x6 inch title cards at the bottom. Then, I added the star and castle chipboard stickers, a few colorful enamel dots, and the "memories" sticker from the 12x12 sheet. 

Inside, I covered the pages in cute pattern papers and created some fun, space-saving interactive elements. I added 6 pockets, 5 flippies, 3 fold-out pages, and space for 40 photos. So many goodies!

The album starts with a pocket that I made with one of the 4x6 vertical cards. I embellished the front with a ticket die cut and some enamel dots then tucked a few journaling cards / photo mats inside.

 

 

I love the twinkly star pattern on this page. It's a perfect backdrop for pictures of the theme park, exciting rides, the castle, a show, the fabulous parade, family, friends, and the amazing fireworks display.

This fold-out page would be great for pictures with your favorite Disney characters, or ... your crazy family and friends, lol. Either way, the "what a bunch of characters" die cut works 😂 

On the front of the flap, I created a flippie out of black cardstock and a 4x4 card. I used an EK Success punch for the little Mickey Mouse shape, then added the journaling die cut and two yellow enamel dots. 

Inside the flap ... I added these colorful papers and made a photo mat with another fun star-filled print.

On the page above, I created a pocket that opens on the side and added a photo mat to the front. Then I tucked a card inside for 2 pictures. I notched the corners and added a red Mickey Mouse shape to the edge for a cute detail. 

Above is a larger pocket page. On the front, I made a scalloped circle journaling spot using the round "smile" die cut and a Marvy Uchida punch. Then, I added the chipboard camera sticker and a blue enamel dot. 

Are you a fan of the princesses? Do you love the classic characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy? Or, are you into the villains? With so many fun ones to choose from, it's hard to pick a favorite but the pocket page above would be perfect for your memories of meeting them.

The pockets are also great for saving memorabilia like character autographs, tickets, room keys, brochures, park maps, receipts, or stickers.

On this page, I added two 4x4 cards. I used the yellow "Best Day Ever" card in the background and made a black flip-up card (flippie) with the "Memories" one. Then, I embellished with a few Mickey Mouse punched shapes.

I hope this Disney themed mini album gives you a little inspiration for saving your memories of the theme parks. I've added the product links below for reference. Have a wonderful day and happy scrappin'! 😊
