Bee Happy Scrapbook Mini Album and Instructions

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this time, I made a fun acrylic mini album titled Sweet Memories. AND ... I've added the instructions for it to my shop! 🎉 This cutie is filled with busy bees, mushrooms, daisy flowers, and pretty summer colors. It's the perfect little project for photos of summer, spring, a vacation, family, friends, a celebration, and everyday moments. 💛

Sweet Memories Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with one of my 4.5" x 7.5" clear Acrylic Scallop Edge Albums and Doodlebug's adorable Bee Happy Collection (links below). This album was really fun ... sooo many cute embellishments!

On the front cover, I created the scallop shape to highlight the "Sweet Memories" title, then added lots of little stickers, die cuts, and shape sprinkles. I love the bee 🐝spooning honey out of the hive. 

Towards the bottom, I added the 3D flower and bee stickers from the Bee-Utiful Garden Doodle-pops. Did you notice the acetate wings on the bee? How fun is that?!

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-outs, 2 pockets, 4 flippies, and space for 20 photos.

The pages above show some of the fun elements. On the left, I added a flippie with space for 1 photo and underneath, I added a pocket with some cute tags tucked inside. Then on the right, I made a fold-out page with a journaling card on the front that's perfect for notes, dates, names, events, and locations.

Here, I added a photo mat and another flippie. Isn't that plaid paper pretty? Such great summer colors. It's a perfect spot for pictures of backyard fun, family and friend gatherings, a summer vacation, a BBQ with neighbors, gardening, and spending time at the beach or lake.

Check out this cute pocket. You could add extra photos or memorabilia here like - tickets, a favorite summer recipe, pressed flowers from your garden or special event, a postcard, notes, a seed packet, a business card, or a brochure from a fun activity.

The Bee Happy Collection has so many pretty pattern papers. I layered them throughout the album and punched circles from them for the scallops on the back cover.

 

I love this colorful little tag. With the cute bumble bee die cut and some black chunky twine, I think it adds a lot of interest to the page.

This mini looks so cute sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. Not only does it create a wonderful accent and conversation piece in your home, but ... it also shows off your fun summer memories and awesome crafting skills!

12x12 Spoiled Dog and Cat Scrapbook Page

Hello friends! It's time to share my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and step-by-step video tutorial. The Design Team was asked to create a project where we combined the fabulous Meow and Bow Wow Collections. Since they are both so cute and colorful ... this was a lot of fun for me!

If you're a pet parent of a cat and dog, this layout will be perfect for you. I added four photo mats so there's space for multiple pictures of your sweet and "spoiled" fur-babies. And, with so many great colors ... it's works for males, females, or both!

I'm a self confessed Bella Pops hoarder and I know I'm not alone, but ... I was able to use four on this one page! I'm so proud of myself and love the way it turned out. On the left side, I added the Pretty Kitty and the Purrsnickety Bella Pops. These stickers are so cute with the pink bow and the little blue bird. Love them!

On the right side, I used the Baby Mio and Tail Wagger Bella Pops. They are precious! I also added some die cuts from both collections and at the bottom, some border stickers from the Doohickey sheet. 

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

The Meow and Bow Bow Collections are a must have if you love bright cheerful colors and lots of cuteness! Below are the product links. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrapping! 😊

Vacation Pocket and Tab Mini Album with Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today, I'm sharing my new Lori Whitlock Design Team Project. It's a fun vacation mini album I made with Lori's cutting file called 4x6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages (SVG, Silhouette). It's filled with pretty shaped pocket pages and tabbed cards that are perfect for saving your favorite memories. I added pictures of our trip to Hawaii and it made the cutest little keepsake! 🌴🦩🌞

I decorated the album with the Doodlebug Design, Fun in the Sun Collection that I found in my stash. But ... this file could be made with ANY theme for photos of a holiday, family, friends, new baby, school, your pet, or a season. It's 4x6 inches and has a flap that folds over onto the front cover to keep the pages secure.  

There are 6 pocket pages with a tabbed card / photo mat tucked inside each one. Let’s take a look inside, then I’ll share the tutorial ...

The front of the pockets have a cute cut-out shape and plenty of space for embellishments. I added the sun and palm tree icon stickers and the Hello Sunshine card from the 6x6 paper pad.

The back side of the pocket pages are blank so I added more photo mats and cute tropical embellies!

The tabbed cards that are in the pockets can hold 2 photos (front and back) or be used for journaling. 

On the page above, I created a flip-up card on the left with the 4x4 Sweet Life card. Then I added a fun family photo, a few fruity icon stickers, and the scalloped sticker from the This & That.

I added word stickers to each of the tabs that coordinated with my photo. This day we went ziplining and it was a big adventure! I loved it and highly recommend. 

I love that Lori designed this mini album with so many pockets. You could even use them for small memorabilia, like ... postcards, tickets to an event / activity, a recipe, wine label, or business card.

Ok, now for the tutorial …

1.  I cut out all of the pieces, including 6 pages, the covers, 6 tabbed photos mats, pattern paper for the pockets and a binding piece.    

2.  I adhered the patterns to the front of each pocket, and the covers,  before gluing everything together.  

3.  To create the pockets, I fold the right and left tabs inward and glued them against the back, leaving the tab on the left free.  

4.  To assemble the front cover, I adhered the remaining tab on the first pocket just to the left of the score line on the cover piece.  This score line will eventually be the album’s binding.   

5.  Next I continued to adhered each of the pocket’s tabs to the back of the page in front of it.

6. The pockets created a stack of pages to the left of the spine.  At this point, I also adhered the back cover piece to the tab on the front cover.  

7.  To adhere the last pocket to the back cover, I used the binding piece that comes in the cut file to adhere them together.

Once I finished assembling the album, I decorated it and added my photos. I had so much fun making this little tropical scrapbook and including some of my favorite memories of Kauai.

I hope you'll try Lori’s 4x6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages File. It’s not only great for your own photos, but … it also makes a wonderful gift idea! Below are the product links and have a great day. 😊

NEW! Summer Tiki Hut Scrapbook Mini Album Kit

Hi friends and happy Wednesday! It's time for a peek into this week's NEW acrylic mini album kit that will be in my shop on Friday. It's titled Summer Tiki Hut Mini Album and the unique shape was inspired by carefree summer vibes, tropical vacations, and a bit of Polynesian fun!

I designed this with the Echo Park, Have A Great Summer Collection by Lori Whitlock. It's filled with cute summer images of swimsuits, ice cream, kites, flowers, bicycles, fruit, pinwheels, and butterflies. The acrylic album is 6.5 x 8 inches and I created the shape with Lori's awesome Box Card Tiki Bar cutting file. 

The covers are filled with so many fun details. First, the most distinctive feature of a tiki hut is the thatched roof, so ... we have lots of palm leaves. A few flowers and some butterflies and it's really feeling like summer!

On the lower half of the cover, I added some fruit, ice cream cones, and a few celebratory pinwheels.

Inside, there are 12 colorful scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 handy dandy pockets, 3 flippies, and space for 24+ photos.

Here is one of the cute pockets. It's covered in pastel butterflies and has a few journaling cards / photo mats tucked inside. And I'm loving the candy colored enamel dots!

This album is perfect for summer memories of ... sunny days, a vacation, backyard fun, BBQs, bike rides, picnics, swimming, playing in the sprinklers, a lemonade stand, and cooling off with ice cream!

Has anyone made a summer bucket list yet? If not, this mini comes with one that has some easy and fun ideas. And ... lots of colorful popsicles! Isn't that paper cute?

Check out this mini album sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These allow your handmade projects to be part of your home's decor, and always remind you of your fun summer memories! I love that.

My New Summer Tiki Hut Shaped Mini Album (kit and premade) will be available in my shop on Friday. Thank you so much for visiting the blog and have a great day! 😊

NEW! 12x12 Sweet Summer Layouts with Card Kit

Hey guys! It's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project and this one is un-bee-lievably cute! I made a 12x12 summer layout that is 1 of 6 pages that will be this week's NEW kit! But wait, there's more ... the kit also includes the supplies and instructions to make 4 bonus greeting cards as well. It's titled Sweet Summer and it'll be in my shop tomorrow. Take a look ...

I designed these with the adorable new Bee Happy Collection which is perfect for photos of friends, family, summer, gardening, and fun everyday moments. It has fun little bees, flowers, and bee-utiful summer colors!

These 6 scrapbook pages create 3 coordinating layouts and include 1 pocket, 1 flippie, and space for 28 photos. Awesome, right? This 1 page alone has space for 5-6 photos!

You can decide whether to use the cute scallop circle for a small photo or a little bit of journaling. 

The bumblebees and flowers are just precious so I added a bunch of them across the middle of the page, along with a pretty scalloped border sticker.

How cute is the little bee napping in the leaf and flower hammock? Now that's a great way to enjoy a warm summer day.

Here is the flippie I made using the "sweet as honey" journaling card. You can add dates, names, locations, or notes to it, then add two pictures inside. 

This bee with the flower hat is killing me! So, so funny. 🩵

I added die cuts that say Our Hive, Sweet Summer Memories, The Sweet Life, and Family Fun but there are more phrases and titles included in the package, so ... you can change them out to suit your needs.

These adorable pages are super versatile. Oh! Speaking of versatile ... let talk about the the cards!

The 4 greeting cards are 4.25" x 5.5" and have a general theme that can be used for many purposes, including ... friendship, hello, encouragement, birthday, etc.  

These are all so cute! I hope you like my NEW 12x12 Sweet Summer Scrapbook Layouts with Bonus Card Kit. It will be in my shop on Friday and perfect for your spring, summer, family, and home memories. Have a great day! 😊
