Jingle Jammies Scrapbook Retreat

Hey crafty girls! Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek at the projects we'll be creating in our upcoming Jingle Jammies Scrapbook Retreat on Saturday Dec. 5th. I'm teaming up with Lindsay Wahl for a 1-day virtual event to create a holiday mini album and 12x12 page layouts. The retreat has been sold out for a while, but I still wanted to show pics and explain how they work, in case some of you might be interested in our next event.

You can participate in our virtual retreats in two ways ...

1. Full Retreat - a box is shipped to you that includes two kits, make & takes, an exclusive enamel pin, bingo, and some super fun goodies. On Saturday, both classes will be LIVE in a private Facebook group that will be recorded and saved for 30 days (the new Facebook limit).

2. ACCESS ONLY - you will NOT receive any products but you will be added to the private Facebook group where you can watch the classes LIVE (or the recorded version on your own time). Supply lists and class instructions are posted in the Facebook group and you would need to use your own supplies and tools to complete the projects. 

⭐ Now, let's check out the two projects for the December Jingle Jammies Retreat. The first one is my Special Delivery Christmas Album Kit ... 

Special Delivery Christmas Scrapbook Album with Santa, Christmas trees, presents, reindeer, snowflakes, and bright holiday colors

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Doodlebug Design binder album in swimming pool and the whimsical Bella Blvd, North Pole Collection. It features Santa, the cutest flying reindeer, snow globes, polar bears, snowmen, Christmas trees, and so many more fun holiday and winter icons!

Special Delivery Christmas Scrapbook Album Page featuring 3 folding cards, reindeer, snowflakes, a polar bear, and a penguin

Inside, the album has 24 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 1 large pocket, 7 interactive flippies, a snow globe shaped page, and space for over 60+ photos on the layouts and in the clear page protectors. 

The first page above is awesome! It has 3 flippies and space for 5 pictures. The 'Tis the Season' flippie is one. Then, the little 'Merry Christmas' card is also a flippie with adorable pink reindeer mats inside. And then, the entire white 'wonderland' card folds open with space for 2 larger pictures!

Special Delivery Christmas Scrapbook Album Page featuring a cute fireplace, a Christmas tree, gifts, stockings, and bright colorful stripes

For this album, I used one sheet of each patterned paper from the 12x12 collection kit, the cute Bella-pops Reindeer, the Doohickey stickers, the Ephemera Icons and Words, a couple of Besties prints, a sheet of Doodlebug acetate, a few pattern papers from the Merry Mingle Collection, and some solids (see product links below).

I also used some basic scrapbooking tools - a paper trimmer, scissors, bone folder or scoring tool, adhesive (tape runner, liquid, pop dots, score tape or red line), and a standard hole punch.

Special Delivery Christmas Scrapbook Album Page featuring a pocket with bright colored tags, snowflakes, and the word 'Love'


⭐ Ok, now let's check out Lindsay Wahl's fabulous 12x12 6-Page Layouts ... 

Since these are layouts, we can't give away too much, so this pic is the only peek you get, lol! 😂 But as you can see, her pages are sooooo stinkin' cute! Lindsay used the Simple Stories, Kringle & Co. Collection and she created the best details! I mean ... do you see that cute house and fireplace? Oh my goodness, I love these pages.

⭐ If you're new to virtual scrapbook retreats, here's a little more info ... 

These are live or self-paced online events where crafters gather together in a private Facebook group to create a specific project(s) with the guidance from instructors. Since you do this from your own home, it means no traveling to a physical venue and ... you can scrap in your jammies!

Participants purchase and receive the event's kits in advance. On the day of the retreat, they go in to the group and can craft, chat, share progress, and ask questions in real time. Or, watch video replays later at their own pace.

I hope this gives those crafters that are not familiar with virtual retreats a little more clarity on how they work. Lindsay and I have another one planned in the spring and will be announcing more about it at a later date. I hope you'll join us for that and we look forward to more events next year! 💕

Fall Family Memories Scrapbook with Bella Blvd

Hey friends, it's time to share my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project! This week, I created a cute and colorful mini album for autumn and Thanksgiving photos. It's titled Fall Family Memories and it's made with the fabulous One Fall Day Collection. It features beautiful warm colors, flowers, leaves, pumpkins, and all the season's best vibes. AND ... I've added the instructions for it to my shop! 🍂 

Fall Family Memories Scrapbook Album that features white acrylic covers, autumn colors, pumpkins, leaves, flowers, a scalloped circle, and the word 'Family'.

This is the season for expressing gratitude, sharing a large family feast, and connecting with loved ones. And today's scrapbook is perfect for all of those things ... 

  • It's a beautiful keepsake for pictures of family, friends, the holiday, a vacation, and fun autumn moments.
  • It can be used as a gratitude journal to document specific things, people, or moments that you appreciate and bring you joy.
  • It also makes a wonderful handmade gift for mom, your sister, a friend, teacher, co-worker, or the host of a Thanksgiving party / dinner.

To make this, I used my white Acrylic Tall 4.5" x 6.5" Album. It features 2 covers made of 1/8" thick acrylic, 3 silver binding rings, and white cardstock pages.

Aren't these fall colors pretty?! To decorate the cover, I chose the Mad For Plaid paper for the background and layered 2 strips of the prints titled Leaf Pile and Fall is a Flutter. Next, I used a 3" scalloped circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch to create the shape in the center. Then, I embellished with flowers, a pumpkin, and leaves from the Ephemera Icons. The heart is from the Ciao Chip, the Family title is from the Ephemera Words, and the "memories" is a Doohickey sticker.

Fall Family Memories Scrapbook Album Page that features colorful leaves, pumpkins, corn, a bucket of apples, and pretty autumn colors

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include 1 fold-out page, 1 pocket, 4 cute flippies, and space for 22 photos. I covered each layout in a different pattern paper from the 12x12 collection kit, then added photo mats and more embellishments. 

Above on the left, I used the colorful Leaf Pile print again. It's one of my favorites with its pretty leaves. On the right, I used the Fall is a Flutter paper in the background and made a photo mat with the Mad for Plaid print. The tab is a sticker from the Doohickey sheet and the cute cluster of pumpkins and apple die cuts is from the Ephemera Icons.

On this layout, I chose a playful striped print titled Grateful for the background, then cut a red photo mat out of the reverse side of that same paper. I added the Happy sticker from the Doohickey sheet and the other embellishments are from the Ephemera Words.

Fall Family Memories Scrapbook Album Pages that feature autumn leaves, flowers, pumpkins, and a pocket with colorful journaling cards

Check out these fun pages. On the left, I added a larger photo mat and more die cuts from the Ephemera Icons. I love grouping them together and even extending them off the top of the page. When the album is closed, the fun images popping out of the album look so cute!

On the right, I created a pocket page and tucked some cards inside from the Daily Details paper. The rich green color of the Pick of the Patch print and the leaves on the Leaf Pile print look awesome together. To finish it off, I added the "Autumn Love" banner from the Ephemera Words to the top of the pocket.

I hope my new Fall Family Memories Album inspires you to create something fabulous with Bella Blvd's One Fall Day Collection. It's whimsical, colorful, and filled with cute autumn images. If you'd like to create today's scrapbook, I've added links for the instructions, my Acrylic Tall 4.5" x 6.5" Album, and other products below. 

Until next time, happy crafting! 🧡

NEW! Recipe Scrapbook Mini Album Kit

Happy Friday! Today, I have a cute new mini album kit in the shop titled Family Favorite Recipes. It's been a minute since I've created a recipe scrapbook, so I think you'll have fun with this one. It's a perfect project for the season and makes a great addition to your kitchen. It's also a wonderful gift idea for the holiday!

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album that features clear acrylic covers, recipe cards, a green bow, and images of kitchenware, flowers, food, and houses.

I made this with the pretty Echo Park, Welcome Home Collection that features a softer color palette, recipe cards, and images of kitchenware, flowers, houses, roosters, and lots of family themed sayings.  

For the album, I used my clear 4.25" x 7.5" Acrylic Horizontal Mini Album. It's made with two acrylic covers and comes with white scrapbook pages, plastic page protectors, and 2 silver binding rings.

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album that features clear acrylic covers, recipe cards, a green bow, and images of kitchenware, flowers, food, and houses.

On the front, I created a card that was smaller than the clear acrylic cover. This way, the pattern papers on the page underneath could show through. I embellished it with a 4x6 card and the pretty floral "Family" letters, then printed the "Favorite Recipes" title.

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album page that features a tag with a twine bow and images of kitchenware, flowers, and hearts.

This recipe album has 28 scrapbook pages (14 double-sided) that include 1 fold-out page, 3 flippies, 10 clear page protectors, and space for 22 photos. And if you think the layout above is a simple page with a cute tag and a photo mat ... you'd be right. But, there's more!

The mat is actually a flippie with space for 3 photos. So, you can add pictures of special family dinners, charcuterie boards, wine with friends, your wonderful kitchen, holiday meals, pretty desserts, baking with the littles, and any fun foodie memory.

Here is one of the twelve recipe cards that are in the kit. It also has 10 clear page protectors (six 4x6 and four 3x4), so the cards will be safe from messy spills or fingerprints.

The cards are super pretty but you can also add your own and one's that have been lovingly passed down through the generations.

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album page that features flowers, a shelf with kitchenware, and a folding card with a cute mixer.

I love the little floral print on this layout. Doesn't it look a bit like wallpaper with a shelf and kitchenware sitting in front, lol? Such a cute spot for a photo. On the right, another flippie that opens to the left with space for 2 photos. But we're not done ...

It also opens up again like a tri-fold with space for 4 pictures in total! And btw, how cute is that floral mixer? ... And where can I get one? 😉

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album page that features flowers, leaves, a tea kettle, and a photo mat

While there's space for 22 photos in this mini, the photo mats could also be used for journaling. You could add notes, handwritten recipes, labels, shopping lists, meal planning, clippings, receipts, or memorable stories from the kitchen.

The holidays are just around the corner and this would make an amazing gift idea. So practical and super thoughtful for someone who loves to cook or bake, is about to get married, or is away at college. Be sure to add a few of your own family recipes to make it even more special. What a sweet handmade way to show your love. Kind of like cooking!

And don't forget the clear Acrylic Display Stand so this fabulous mini can sit out in your kitchen! It's a great way to keep the recipes close at hand and show off your crafty skills. If you're making this scrapbook as a gift, be sure to include one in the box!

My NEW Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Album (kit and premade) will be in my shop on Friday. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a beautiful day! 😊

Fall Family House Shaped Scrapbook with Doodlebug

Hey everyone! It's time to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I made a house shaped fall scrapbook. Here in Georgia, the leaves have turned colors, the air is crisp, and I'm loving the change of seasons. So, I can't wait to make some new autumn memories and save them in this pretty mini. And you can too, because I've just added the instructions for it to my shop! 🥳 Say hello to my Fall Family Tradition Album ...

Fall Family Tradition Scrapbook Album that features house shaped acrylic covers, a teal door, flowers, colorful trees, pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and an orange polka-dot ribbon.

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Look how cute! I made it with the Farmhouse Collection, which has such beautiful fall colors. It also features pumpkins, leaves, sunflowers, home items, turkeys, kitchenware, and more. So, it's perfect for photos of family gatherings, your decorated home, the changing leaves, Thanksgiving, cooking or baking, fun with friends, and sweet everyday moments. 

Acrylic House Shaped Scrapbook Album with white cardstock pages and three binding rings

When it came to choosing the album, the die cuts in the Odds & Ends definitely helped me decide on my white Acrylic House Shaped Album. It was the perfect choice. It's approx. 8x10 inches and comes with 3 sturdy 1/8" acrylic pieces, cardstock pages, and 3 binding rings.

Fall Family Tradition Scrapbook Album that features house shaped acrylic covers, a teal door, flowers, colorful trees, pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and an orange polka-dot ribbon.

I love this cover! I added 2 pretty patterned papers and lots of colorful die cuts. The flower circle, the leaf garland, and the title pieces came from the Chit Chat. The adorable front door and colorful trees came from the Odds & Ends. The wheelbarrow, blue tree, and gingham pumpkin are from the mini icon stickers. And as a finishing touch, I added an enamel heart, a polka dot bow, and Doodlebug's pom pom trim!

Fall Family Tradition Scrapbook Album house shaped page that features a sun, leaves, flowers, colorful trees, pumpkins, acorns, and 2 photo mats

Inside, there are 10 scrapbook pages that include 1 pocket, 4 flippies, and space for 19+ photos. I covered each layout in a different 12x12 pattern paper, then added photo mats and lots of cute embellishments.

On the page above, I used the Fall Bouquet print in the background. I love the contrast of the black and white typewriter text against the colors and softer shapes of the die cuts. And the pretty floral photo mats were the perfect addition!

This page was a fun shape to design. On the left, I added a photo mat and the cozy fireplace die cut. On the right, I chose a pretty leaf print and added the gingham scalloped sticker from the This & That sheet.

Next, I made 2 flippies out of lily white cardstock and added the turkey and cornicopia icon stickers on top. A few enamel hearts completed the look and now this layout has space for 5 photos!

The bold autumn colors and fun flowers on this page are awesome. I layered two different patterns for the photo mat and decorated with some cute kitchen themed Odds & Ends. Wouldn't this be a great spot for pictures of baking or cooking on Thanksgiving day, or ... any fall day?

Fall Family Tradition Scrapbook Album page that features a floral wreath, a pocket, and cute tags embellished with autumn puffy stickers

I love a pocket and this one is filled with a clipboard die cut from the Bits & Pieces and some colorful tags from the 12x12 Give Thanks pattern. You could use these as photo mats or for journaling. I added some puffy stickers to each one and they look adorable sticking out of the pocket.

This album looks great sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These are perfect for showing off your scrapbooks and they make wonderful seasonal decor.

I hope my Fall Family Tradition Mini Album inspires you to create something beautiful with the Farmhouse Collection.
