Happy New Year Album with Simple Stories

Happy New Year (almost) everyone!  Today I wanted to share a super quick album that comes together easily and would be a wonderful gift for a New Year's party hostess, or your own celebration photos.


I just love the 4x6 snap albums for gifts!  They are easy to create, unique, and perfect for saving memories from a special occasion!


For this album, I used the Simple Stories 2019 collection. 


A little bit of silver and black card stock work perfectly with the black & white scheme in the papers and stickers.


The Simple Stories 4x6 photo pockets make it simple for the gift recipient to add their own photos to the album after the party!



So there it is ... easy peasy!  Hopefully I've inspired you with another handmade gift idea. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!

Monthly Calendar Pages with Doodlebug #1

Hey guys, it's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team project and I have a fun one for you today! It will keep you organized AND give you wonderful 12x12 pages for your scrapbook. 
 
For the new year, I created a wall calendar for my studio. I used Doodlebug's calendar sheets and lots of scraps from different Doodlebug collections. Check out the pages I've made so far ...

12x12 Calendar Scrapbook Page Layouts with Doodlebug

I used 4 Clipart clipboards to hang them over my desk so that I could display four months at a time. As the year goes on, I'll change them out. At the end of the year, I plan to add them to my scrapbook.
 
12x12 Winter January Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout
 
I loved giving each month a colorful theme based on the season or the holiday. I used pretty pattern papers, fun sprinkles, stickers, and odds & ends from older and current collections.
 
12x12 Winter January Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout

For my January page, I used the Doodlebug, Polar Pals Collection. I added some cute prints, icon stickers, and the shape sprinkles titled "Winter Snowflakes".  

I used the Daily Doodles month stickers in lily white for the titles. For the daily numbers, I would have to use too many rub-ons (see above) or stickers (see below) for every day of each month so ... I don't add them to every square. I also just like the look of a few dates scattered around the page.

12x12 Valentine's Day February Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout
 
For my February page, I used 12x12 and 6x6 papers, icon stickers, and fancy frills stickers from Doodlebug's Sweet Things Collection. I also used icon stickers from the Lovebugs Collection, too. The little pink mail truck and frog is one of my favorites! So cute!

12x12 St. Patrick's Day March Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout

For March, I chose the Happy Go Lucky Collection and added the 12x12 striped paper and lots of the icon stickers. I also used the Pot of Gold Collection for the 6x6 polka dot paper and the fancy frills (green shamrock border sticker along the bottom and the rainbow shamrock sticker on the 5th & 6th). 

To see more March calendar pages with a spring, St. Patrick's Day, and school theme, click HERE , HERE, and HERE.

April Easter 12x12 Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout
 
Ohhh, this April page  ... I love these pretty pastel colors! I used the Doodlebug, Spring Things Collection. I added 6x6 & 12x12 papers, the acetate clouds (from the Odds & Ends), Pastel Posies & So Tweet sprinkles stickers, plaid border sticker (from the This & That), and the umbrella icon sticker.
 
From the Easter Express Collection, I used that adorable train and Easter title from the Odds & Ends and the basket icon sticker. The bunny that's next to the title is from Christmas Town Collection.
 
October Halloween 12x12 Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout

My October page was created mostly with paper & embellishments from the Pumpkin Party Collection (12x12 pattern paper, Odds & Ends, and This & That sticker sheet). The 2 pumpkin stickers are from the Boos & Brews and Booville Collections.

December Christmas 12x12 Calendar Scrapbook Page Layout
 
Almost everything on this cute December layout was from the Christmas Town Collection. I used 12x12 & 6x6 papers, icon & mini icon stickers, pieces from the Chit Chat and Odd & Ends ,and stickers from the 12x12 This & That sticker sheet.
 
Update: I've added two NEW 12x12 calendar pages in a post HERE. I hope these give you fun new project ideas. Happy scrappin'!
