Happy Healing Greeting Card Kit

Happy Funday Friday everyone! I'm so excited about today ... I have 2 NEW kits in the shop that I designed with Doodlebug's adorable new Happy Healing Collection. Yesterday, I introduced the first one - a super cute mini album titled Laughter Is The Best Medicine. And today, I'm sharing my fun new card kit! Due to my second carpel tunnel surgery, both are available now as a pre-order and will be shipped out in early May.

In the kit, I've added 6 different cards that are filled with bright, happy colors and cute smiling faces. These are sure to brighten someone's day when they're feeling under the weather.   

 

This first card is a great way to show support when a friend or family member is sick or in the hospital. The hearts, the bouquet of flowers, and the "you got this" sentiment is a sweet reminder that they're not alone.

 

I'm loving all the metallic accents (like the silver foil dots on the heart above) and the different types of medical inspired images. There are band-aids, pills, stethoscopes, x-rays, hospital beds, tissues, & germs!

This next card wishes your loved one a speedy recovery and would be great for almost any medical issue.

Here's a close-up ... how cute is the Bear Hugs Doodle-pops?! I love him and all the fabulous balloons he's holding on to. 

A card ... in and of itself, is very thoughtful but a handmade card shows you went the extra mile. Thankfully, my kits make creating some super easy. Each card is pre-designed and pre-cut so all you need to do is assemble them! 

Also, be sure to check out my new Laughter Is The Best Medicine Mini Album ...

Both kits are available in my shop now so, hop over today to get yours before the Doodlebug cuteness sells out! 😉

Laughter is the Best Medicine Scrapbook Mini Album

Hey guys! Doodlebug's NEW Happy Healing Collection is in the house! 🎉 As soon as it arrived, I was filled with ideas so I created 3 super FUN kits ... a mini album, greeting cards, AND 12x12 layouts. Today for my Design Team Project, I'm sharing the adorable Laughter is the Best Medicine Mini Album. This and the card kit will be available in my shop tomorrow (Friday). The 12x12 layout kit is coming soon, so ... stay tuned!

Because this collection has die cuts for a variety of medical situations, my cute mini album could be used for lots of different photos, like ...

⭐ documenting your child's medical history. Add photos of their pediatrician, check-ups, immunizations, a broken arm, chicken pox, poison ivy, a black eye, the flu, stitches, or a sports injury. 

⭐ a medical situation where someone would like to document their journey and recovery. This could include a surgery (knee, shoulder, back, carpal tunnel, etc), a car accident, or a cancer diagnosis and treatment. For many, this can be very cathartic.

⭐ a student going through medical school. Add photos of their classmates, study time, labs, the hospital, their school, professors, a clinical rotation, graduation, passing the boards, a residency, or a fellowship.

⭐ experiences that include donating blood, physical therapy, covid, a hospital stay, x-rays, and crutches.

⭐ dental work, a child's dental visits (cleaning or braces), wisdom teeth being removed, or any oral surgery. 

This would also make an amazing handmade gift for a nurse, doctor, pharmacist, an EMT, or anyone in the medical field!

Now, the fun details ... I created this with a new 4.25" x 8.25" custom white acrylic album. I designed the front cover to be narrower than the pages and back cover, so ... cute papers and embellies can peek out the side!

On the cover, I added the fun Pill Better Shaker-pops, lots of adorable die cuts with happy faces, and a pretty celery green chevron ribbon. Also, notice the cute detail down the side of the album - I added colorful tabs on the edge of the pages.

Doodlebug can make absolutely anything cute ... even germs, lol! So, I added a few to this first page. The album has 12+ pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 3 flippies, and space for 30+ photos.

This next page is made of a transparent acetate covered in silver metallic hearts. There are lots of pretty foil accents in this collection and I LOVE the shimmer it adds.

Pockets are great for adding memorabilia, like ... a hospital bracelet, a doctor's business card, pressed flowers from a bouquet someone sent you, a tag from a gift, or a small get well drawing your child made you.

I've also added some die cut pieces that are perfect for journaling. Add notes, medications, immunization dates, a doctor's or nurse's name, phone numbers, or records of blood pressure, heart rate, or weight.

Check out the fine print on the little x-ray die cut above. If you look closely, the doctor's name is Dr. Will Fixya and the patient's name is I.M. Hurt. Lol!

Here's another cute journaling spot that's also an interactive flippie. Add a few photos inside to go along with your handwriting.

I love this fold-out page with the colorful hearts and scalloped cloud sticker that acts as a tab. The little band-aid on its forehead is ah-dorable!

I hope you love my new "Laughter is the Best Medicine" Mini Album and Doodlebug's fabulous Happy Healing Collection. It's so different, fun to create with, and I just LOVE it! 

Be sure to visit my shop tomorrow when this mini album kit AND a cute greeting card kit will be available. See you then! 😊

Telephone Shaped Mini Scrapbook Album

Hey guys! Today, I'm sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team project. It's a cute little telephone shaped scrapbook made with Lori's new cutting file called Hidden Binding Mini Album Telephone (link below). This Thursday (April 25th) is National Telephone Day, so ... I thought this would be a fun project to make.

I started by using Bazzill card stock in whirlpool for the base, then added some pattern papers from Echo Park's Our Baby Girl and Boy Collections. I used the generic prints from both so this album could be given to anyone. On the cover, I added a few stickers and a title next to the old fashion rotary dial. So cute!

This album uses a hidden binding technique to secure the pages and it allows enough room in between for pop dots and embellishments. It lays perfectly flat when closed. You can watch the assembly tutorial for it over on Lori's YouTube Channel here.

There are 5 double-sided pages, including the front cover. I layered each one with a different patterned paper and some cute circular photo mats. I used a 3" scalloped circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch for those.

I added a journaling card and some stickers on this page, but the next one is my favorite ...

Isn't she pretty? I love the soft feminine colors and the flowers paired with this fun, nostalgic shape.

This mini album would make a great gift idea for Mother's Day or a birthday. Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too, like ... a flower, mason jar, camera, bee, house, butterfly, and more! Be sure to check them out in her shop.

I hope you like my version of this cute little telephone scrapbook and it inspires you to create one yourself. I highly recommend!!

Saddle Up Country Western Scrapbook Album Kit

Howdy partners and happy Friday! Today, I've added a new scrapbook kit to the shop with a slightly more unique theme. The album is titled Saddle Up and it's perfect for all you folks out there that love cowboys, country music, horses, and the Wild West. Take a look ...

I designed this with a 6x6 inch Prima chipboard album and the Carta Bella Cowboys Collection. This fun line is filled with cowboy boots and hats, guitars, horses, flowers, saddles, horseshoes, maps, and more.

If you love a country western theme, this would be perfect for all your favorite everyday photos. And, it would look great sitting out on a coffee or side table as part of your home's decor.

The album has 12 chipboard pages that include 2 fold-outs, 5 pockets, 5 flippies, and space for 45+ photos!

Add pictures from a trip to Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas, Montana, or the Wild West. Or ... what about a fun filled vacation to a horse ranch, a cattle drive, Yellowstone National Park, Disney's Frontierland, or Nashville's Grand Ole Opry?! 

With five pockets, there's plenty of space for saving memorabilia like tickets to an event, an autograph, postcards from your travels, brochures, an invitation, a matchbook, a handwritten letter, or a love note.

What a great keepsake for saving memories of a country music concert, a rodeo, a festival, a horse show, a night of country-western line dancing, or a themed birthday party!

This scrapbook would also be an amazing gift idea for someone who's into the western genre, horses, history, saloons, pioneers, stagecoaches, or the gold rush. Yeehaw!

Giddy up! Y'all better head over to my shop soon and get your Saddle Up Album today because this unique scrapbook is likely to sell out quickly!

OOAK You Make Me Smile Scrapbook Album

Hey guys, good news!! Today, I'm sharing a new one-of-a-kind album that will be added to the shop this Friday along with a brand new kit! This pre-made mini is titled You Make Me Smile and it's a wonderful little scrapbook for some of your favorite photos. It would also make a sweet gift for someone who makes you smile, and ... Mother's Day is just around the corner!

I created this with one of my clear Acrylic Scallop Edge Albums and the colorful American Crafts Main Character Energy Collection by Shimelle Laine. This line celebrates the small beauties of life, a person's strengths, and embraces imperfection. It's filled with sayings and words that encourage you to love yourself and the skin you're in.

On the cover, there are stars, flowers, butterflies, and gold foil accents. They are hard to see in the photos but the gold touches add a nice little shimmer.

Inside, there are 12 pages that include 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, 2 fun flippies, and space for over 20+ photos.

This scrapbook is pretty generic with a happy-go-lucky feeling, so ... it can be used for almost any photos. It's full of self-love and ready for YOU (or someone you love) to take center stage!

Check out these fun pattern papers ... so eclectic!

I love this pink print filled with colorful butterflies and the sweet saying on the yellow flippie.

If you look closely, you can see I added some gold glitter enamel dot stickers to these cute tags and flowers. I mean ... what girl doesn't love a little gold sparkle?!

This pre-made album makes an easy and super cute gift idea. It's great for mom, your sister, best friend, co-worker, babysitter, dog walker, neighbor, etc. Fill it with fun photos of the two of you, or let them add their own pictures. Either way ... it's such a thoughtful keepsake!

I hope this mini album gives you some new ideas. My acrylic albums are so fun and with different paper collections ... the possibilities are endless!

This OOAK pre-made You Make Me Smile Album will be in my shop this Friday (4/19). Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a crafty day!

Happy Friday everyone! Today, I've added 3 NEW projects to the shop and each one is a unique 12x12 four page layout kit. These kits take the guesswork out of creating your scrapbook pages. I take care of the supplies, the measuring, the cutting, and the design to help you save your memories quickly and easily. And ... you can add your own touches and creativity to any of my designs!

I designed these 4 layouts with the Echo Park, Telling Our Story Collection and some solid paper from Bazzill.

These pages include 5 flippies and space for 27 photos. They're perfect for saving photos of just about anything like family, friends, spring, summer, graduation, Mother's Day, birthdays, or everyday moments.

I used this same Echo Park collection in my 6x8 inch Snapshots of Our Life Album and it was super popular. So, I decided to bring it back for my 12x12 scrappers!

I just love all the pretty pastel colors, flowers, cameras, stamps, plaids, polka dots, and more!

 Next up is my "Cute As A Bug" 12x12 Layout Kit ...

I designed these four layouts with the Echo Park, Little Ladybug Collection and some solid card stock from Bazzill. Oh my goodness, these are so stinkin' cute.

These layouts have 2 flippies, 1 pocket, and space for 20 pictures of your littles, everyday, spring, strawberry picking, a family vacation, fun in the backyard, Mother's Day, brunch with friends, birthdays, and all the moments in between.

Last one, is my 12x12 In Loving Memory 4-Page Layout Kit ...

I designed these layouts with the PhotoPlay, In Loving Memory Collection designed by Becky Moore. These pages are a beautiful way to remember your loved ones who have passed.

These pages include 1 flippie and space for 17 photos. You could document your favorite memories of one person on all 4 pages, or ... dedicate each page to someone different.
