Lucky Me Tag Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hello friends! It's time for another Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I made a small tag shaped scrapbook that's filled with pretty flowers and cute ladybugs. It's a simple and fairly quick mini album that's perfect for spring photos. It also makes a sweet gift idea for an Easter basket, a birthday, or Mother's Day!  

I designed this with the new Doodlebug Design, Lucky Me Collection (links below) and I've been having so much fun with it. It's giving me all the happy spring vibes and, I am loving it!

For the base, I used my 2x4 inch Acrylic Tag Shaped Album. It comes with 1 binding ring and 6 acrylic tags that are made of 1/16" clear acrylic. I specifically designed this album to fit Doodlebug's cut apart tags found on their 12x12 sheets.

For today's project, I used the tags from this 12x12 St. Patty's Plaid paper. Since Lucky Me is considered a "mini collection", the tag sheet only has 6 tags vs. 12 in the regular collections. So, I simply traced their shape onto 12x12 and 6x6 pattern papers and cut more out. Super easy!

Ok, now for the cute cover. I used the green Clover Patch tag as the base and cut out two small mats. Then, I adhered the gorgeous Love You Doodle-pops sticker on top and added 3 little red heart shaped sprinkles. Look how pretty she is! So many cute layers and enamel accents.

I cut this tag out of the red polka dot print called My Lucky Charm and added a photo mat. Then, I embellished with the flower icon sticker and This & That word sticker.

For this next page, I cut out the tag out of the reverse side of the My Lucky Charm print. Then, I created a 1.5" x 2" flippie with the adorable "hello sunshine" card. The cut apart cards in the 6x8 paper pad were the perfect size for this little tag album and now this page has space for 2 pictures!

How fun are these colorful pages? For the tag on the left, I mixed fun patterns, then decorated with a rainbow mini icon sticker. On the right, I chose the striped tag from the 12x12 St. Paddy's Plaid print. Then, I added the smaller journaling card from the 6x8 paper pad and a cute green 🏠 from the mini icons stickers. 

Here, I created another flippie with a sweet lil' mushroom scene. And just below it, I added 2 enamel flowers from the Rainbow Bright sprinkles and the "blessed" This & That sticker. The page on the right is a tag from the 12x12 St. Paddy's Plaid print, and ... it's perfect just as it is.

Loving the little rainbow colored dots above. That paper is called Clover Patch and it had to be a tag. 💕 Then, I added a photo mat and the cute mushrooms icons sticker. The next page was another great tag from the 12x12 St. Paddy's Plaid print and it definitely makes me happy!

And last but not least, I didn't forget the puffy stickers! I used the "lucky me" on the page above along with the cutest sunshine mini icon sticker ever! I love its colorful sun rays.

This tag album looks adorable sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand, doesn't it? Perfect little home or office decor and it's filled with your sweet memories!

To see more tag albums I've made with Doodlebug's adorable collections and 1 from Bella Blvd, visit ... Bunny Hop, Sweet and Spooky, Farmhouse, and Christmas. 

I hope today's project inspires you to create something special with my Acrylic Tag Shaped Album and the adorable Lucky Me Collection. Have a wonderful day and happy scrapping! 😊

12x12 Family Vacation Layout with Bella Blvd

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team project and this week, I created a fun 12x12 scrapbook page. I used the colorful Love Grows Here Collection, a few Bella Bestie prints, and one of Bella's amazing Cut-Outs. It has lots of speech bubbles and shapes that are perfect for photos or journaling!

To make this, I started with the Bella Besties gingham and stripes in blueberry as the base. Then, I added a strip of the Simply The Best paper and the Besties gingham and stripes in punch on either side. 

For the Cut-Outs, I chose the one called "You're Cute" from the Meow Collection (link below). It comes with a template and directions to make backing the different sections fun and easy. 

I added some photos from our trip to Kauai and lots of colorful 12x12 pattern papers behind each of the framed shapes. I included a bit of journaling in one of them and a sweet little puffy heart.

Next, I embellished the page. The "family" is a die cut from the Ephemera Words. The flowers, the cute car, and the keys are from the Icons. And the colorful epoxy dots are from the My Life 365 Collection. I also used the Luna puffy alphabet stickers in blueberry and punch to spell out the word "vacation" and add the year.

I hope you get some inspiration from today's scrapbook layout, Bella's Love Grows Here Collection, and the You're Cute Cut-Outs. Below are the links to these products. Until next time, have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

If you're not familiar with these fun sticker collages, it's time to introduce you! I've never included one in a kit, and I think you're going to LOVE it! 🩷

There are plenty of places to journal and document fun stories, family traditions, a favorite holiday meal, a recipe, or a bible verse. You can also add dates, the location, names, or a fun event that you attended.  

Above is one of the cute flippies. I love the card with it's chocolate bunny, peeps, and Easter eggs. I also added a scalloped round die cut that could be used for a small circular photo or a bit of journaling.

This spring scrapbook is a fabulous gift idea for Easter, a birthday, or Mother's Day. And if you're going to someone's house for the holiday, bring this as a hostess gift and they can save their photos from the day.

Spring St. Patrick's Day Mini Album with Box

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing a fun spring and St. Patrick's Day scrapbook project with a step-by-step VIDEO tutorial (see below). Since my Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects fell on the same day, I combined a cute paper collection with a fun cutting file to create this adorable mini album in a box. ❤️🌈🍀

For the paper and embellishments, I used the Doodlebug Design Lucky Me Collection. It's filled with the cutest spring flowers, clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, bluebirds, and bright happy colors. Love it!

For the cut file, I chose Lori's 5x5 Album With Box (links below). It includes score lines for easy folding and binding holes for the ribbon. The album and box are a great size and can be designed with ANY collection. 

To start, I cut the base out of white cardstock, cut the pattern pieces out, then assembled it (see video below).

The album has 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of colorful die cuts from All The Things, some shiny enamel dots, and photo mats in different sizes.

In this photo you can see the pretty green ribbon I used to bind the pages together. I love the simple layout on the left with its cute ladybug and red polka dots! And on the right, I created a fun little flippie with a 3x4 leprechaun card. Perfect for a few extra photos.

Here, I used another 3x4 card on the left as a photo mat and added some fun die cuts. On the right, more die cuts for St. Patrick's Day and some yellow enamel dots that mimic the gold coins. How cute!

I hope you like today's project. It's a great little scrapbook for photos of spring, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and everyday memories. AND ... it comes with it's own box! It's fun and simple thanks to Lori Whitlock's fabulous 5x5 Album With Box Cutting File and Doodlebug Design's adorable Lucky Me Collection.
