I Love Summer Scrapbook Project Album kit

Happy Friday friends!  Today I added a brand new scrapbook album project kit to my shop!  This album kit is colorful, packed with summer fun, and sure to get you feeling groovy about the upcoming summer months!  I used the Echo Park Paper collection called Groovy Summer by Lori Whitlock and it is amazing!


The scrapbook album kit is packed with interactive pages, pockets, my signature flippies and perfect icons and patterns for all the summer vibes!  Don't you love the groovy little van?  It reminds me of a retro 1960's VW "beach bus".  I want one!  And I want the pink, and the flowers, and all the things painted on the sides!  Yes please!

Let's take a peek inside!


Here is one of the fold out pages, complete with flip-flops, sunshine, and adorable retro roller skates!  The colors in this collection are bright and happy ... just like summer should be!


This page actually has TWO flippies ... one that folds out and one that flips up so that you can add 3 photos on this one 6x8 page.  Lot's of space for beach, pool, popsicle, boom box memories!  And since everything in the kit is pre cut for you, you'll have so much fun putting it together!  No wondering whether you've cut the 12x12 sheet correctly ... we've made it easy!


This page has a fun pocket for tucking in a journaling card.  And I'm loving the pink background pattern and colorful retro flowers!  CUTE!


Peace, Love, and Cherries 🍒!  And the page to the right is a pocket!  Here are few fun ideas for memorabilia that you could tuck inside!
  • Travel Documents: Hotel key cards, boarding passes, and custom luggage tags from vacations.
  • Event Admission: Ticket stubs from concerts, baseball games, or outdoor movies.
  • Nature Finds: Pressed flowers or leaves from a summer garden, or small sand-filled vials and flat seashells.
  • Dining Memories: Coasters from beachfront cafes, sugar packets, or labels from summer treats like local fudge or ice cream

Well I hope this brand new scrapbook album project kit will be a groovy addition to your album collection!  I know you'll enjoy putting it together, and documenting this summer's (or a past summer's) special memories!

Happy crafting friends!

Adventure Awaits Acrylic Album with Bella Blvd

Hi friends! Happy Saturday!!  I'm back with another new project for this week.  I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design team project and this one is super fun!  I was challenged to use the fabulous Time to Travel collection (LOVE! ❤️) but! I could only focus on three colors!  Yay!  This girl loves a good challenge, so I pulled out all of my Time to Travel product and decided on blue, aqua, and yellow ... or in Bella's world, blueberry, gulf, and bell pepper!! 📘🐬🌼


From the minute this collection was introduced, I fell in love!  I love a good travel line and this one is totally in my wheel house -- fabulous color, fun icons, amazing ephemera ... yes please! I wanted to showcase the patterns (but remember, I could only use three colors 
😳) so I chose to use one of my acrylic albums called Acrylic Waterfall Album so that we could see the color combo.  


I layered each of the pages with a pattern from the collection ... focusing my choices on the prints that were more blueberry, gulf, or bell pepperish (if you know, you know, lol).  On the page above, I covered the white cardstock with the In The Clouds print ... I could not love this more.  Do you see those tiny stars and dot clusters?  And that teeny pop of red?  Ssshhhhh!  I wasn't suppose to add another color 😳.


If you're familiar with my mini albums, you know I add pockets and flippies to every single one ... so here's a cute pocket, covered in the adorable Love This Place print and some ephmera icons popped on front and photo mats tucked inside.  


Finally, I snuck in a pattern that was a little more colorful, but I think it totally works with this challenge.  Those adorable little icons from the On The Go sheet are too cute!  It might be my favorite sheet in the pack. Combined with some ephemera word and icon pieces, and I think my travel memories are ready for documenting!

I hope this project has given you a few fun ideas for saving your own travel memories with the Bella Time to Travel collection!

Happy crafting!!

NEW Scrapbook Page Kits for Winter and Spring!

Happy Friday friends!  Hopefully you saw my brand new winter page layout kit on Wednesday ... and today I'm introducing a second kit for this week!  That's right!  Two new 12x12 page kits are in the shop today and this second one is spring themed.  I could not be more in love with the colors, patterns and flowers in this one!  Check it out!



So pretty right?  For this 6-page kit I used a combination of Doodlebug Butterfly Kisses and Bunny Hop.  I stuck to a spring theme, instead of Easter for this one, and chose papers from both collections, and Odds & Ends from Butterfly Kisses.  


The die cut pieces in the Butterfly Kisses collection are so pretty!  Birds, flowers, bees, and so many sweet smiling faces.  These pages will be perfect for any sunshine, garden, family or friends spring memories!  


On one of the pages, I added a cute little pocket.  Perfect for holding some tags for extra photos or journaling!  


And it wouldn't be an Artsy Albums kit without a flippie!  So this pretty little card lifts up to reveal space for two photos.  


Ooooo!  Stripes and flowers!  Yes please!  These six pages have space for 25 photos, and several journaling spots so you can document those warmer weather memories!


I just love this page with all of the adorable flowers, birds, butterflies, and that cute little frog!  I can't wait to save pictures of my grandkids on this page!


Well, be sure to visit the shop today before my new kits sell out!  I always get requests for 12x12 kits so today you get two!  

Happy crafting my friends!

Acrylic Sunny Spring Album with Doodlebug

Hello friends! Happy spring!  Despite the pollen, I'm loving everything about this change in seasons and the beautiful flowers are my favorite part!  That may be one reason I was inspired to add lots of pretty flowers to the cover of my latest acrylic mini.  

For this album, I used the Bunny Hop collection and one of my Artsy Albums acrylic albums.  This is my tabbed album and all of the pages are clear, so it was perfect for layering all of the Bunny Hop prints and die cuts.  For the cover, I added some floral pieces from the Bits and Pieces and topped them with shape sprinkles called Hello Spring.  Look at the pretty shine in the photo below!

I love the Hello Sunshine doodle-pops so it deserved a spot front and center on the cover! Doesn't that little smiling face just make you happy?

The photo above allows you to see all of the pretty layered prints on the clear pages. The photo below shows how I layered the bubblegum pink side of the May Flowers sheet with the adorable dot print called Spot of Spring.  A few odds & ends die cuts finish up the page and look so sweet next to the colorful photo mat. 

My favorite sheet in this collection is the May Flowers print, so I cut a larger piece for the next page and layered another Spot of Spring photo mat on top.  The tab sticker from the This and That stickers adds a pop of bright bubblegum pink to the page, and I just love that basket of flowers.  I want to find one just like it for my house!

I included a sheet of Lily white wood grain petite prints on the next page so that I would have a neutral base for more flowers and the adorable journaling card.  I made the card a flippie so it actually lifts up to reveal 2 photo mats underneath.  That cute sunshine is an icon sticker!


To take advantage of the clear pages, I only added photo mats to the next page.  The same size photo mats are on the back of this page so that you can see the prints on the last page showing through.  Each of the tabs also has a sticker from the This and That sheet to add fun color across the top of the album.

Well I hope all of these pretty colors, sunshiny embellishments, and beautiful flowers have inspired you to create something pretty with Bunny Hop today!  

Until next time, happy crafting!

NEW!! 12x12 Winter Snow Page Kit

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of a new 12x12 page layout kit that will be in my shop on Friday!  I know that it's springtime, but something tells me you still have winter memories to document!  These pretty pages will be perfect for snow, travel, skiing, mittens, snowmen, and any other freezin' season pictures you have!


This 6-page DIY scrapbook album kit was designed with both Bella Blvd and Doodlebug product.  The paper and Ephemera icons are Snowflake Season by Bella, and the Chit Chat and stickers are Doodlebug Winter Wonderland.  


The kit has 6 pages, 3 coordinating double page layouts and space for 30 photos!  Each page is designed to focus on the photos, but incorporates the beautiful colors and patterns in Bella's Snowflake Season collection.  


With a few Doodlebug accents thrown in, the colors in these lines work together perfectly and will highlight all of your winter, snowman, snowflake falling, skiing, bundled up baby photos and more!


Do you have a picture of the first snowfall of the season and how pretty the powdery white looked on your house?  How about photos from some of these fun memories:
  • a winter vacation, a mountain cabin, an Alaskan cruise, or a weekend in the city
  • snow covered landscapes
  • a crisp winter hike
  • fun in the snow, building a snowman, or making snow angels
  • a winter family photo shoot
  • skiing, sledding, snowboarding, tubing, or ice skating 
  • a cozy afternoon scrapping with friends
  • playing games with the littles
  • an afternoon of baking
  • a backyard bonfire with s'mores
  • a special event like a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or holiday 
  • and simple everyday moments with family and friends


I will have a limited supply of these so if you want one, set your alarm on Friday morning as I won't be able to restock these!



Happy crafting my friends!!

Hey guys, who's ready for a peek at this week's new kit that will be in my shop tomorrow? It's titled Me and The Mouse and has EIGHT colorful Disney themed 12x12 scrapbook layouts! I had so much fun designing these with the vintage Mickey and Minnie Mouse, balloons, cute flowers, a castle, stars, and polka dots. They're perfect for theme park photos, fun vacations, and sweet everyday memories. ❤️

12x12 Disney Me and The Mouse Scrapbook Layouts with Mickey, Minnie, a castle, balloons, flowers, stars, and polka dots

I made them with the Simple Stories, Happiest Place Collection, which I also used in my 6x8 inch Happiest Memories Scrapbook Album. I still have a few of those available in my shop if you have lots of photos and need more space.

12x12 Disney Me and the Mouse Scrapbook Layouts with Mickey, Minnie, flowers, stars, and a ride

But they're not just for Disney vacations! These layouts can also be used for birthday parties or baby showers.

Look how cute! I made a flippie with a 4x6 card that has space inside for 2 photos. I just love the castle in the background, Minnie Mouse flirting with Mickey, and the fireworks exploding overhead.

Spring Memories Scrapbook Album with Bella Blvd

Hello friends and happy Wednesday! Today, I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this week, I created a mini album using the fabulous Just Because Collection and one of Bella's pretty Cut-Outs. It's a spring inspired scrapbook that's perfect for photos of family, friends, and favorite memories!

The amazing flowers on the cover are Bella's Cut-Outs titled Mood Booster. If you're not familiar with these or don't own a Cricut or Silhouette, I think you're going to love this product. They are pre-cut white cardstock designs that have the detailed look of electronic die-cutting machines. Each package includes the cut-out sheet, step-by-step instructions, and templates for easy backing with patterned paper.

For the album, I chose my 6x6 inch Acrylic Clear 6x6 Square Album. I loved the idea of adding the cut-out design to the transparent cover so the flowers showed through to the inside as well. The album includes the 2 covers, 2 silver binding rings, and 6 white card stock pages that include 2 fold-out pages and 1 pocket.

On this layout, I used the Dancing Daisies print in the background and added a cute polka dot mat. Then, I decorated with a flower border sticker and the "special day" sticker from the Doohickey sheet. The cute little mailbox, bumble bee, and bird are die cuts from the Ephemera Icons.

I love the beautiful patterns on this pocket page. The soft pink print in the background is called Homegrown Seeds and on the front ... the Bloomin' Beauties paper. I added the bright green scalloped sticker from the Doohickey sheet. Then, I made a colorful polka dot photo mat, and added a journaling card and tag from the Daily Details.


What a pretty page for a family photo. I was brave and added the Flower Garden Bella-pops. I love these stickers and if you hoard them like I do, you'll understand the struggle. Lol. This sweet little 3D birdhouse has gorgeous layers of flowers and epoxy dots. The spring letters and memories are Doohickey stickers.

This is a fun fold-out page with space for 3 pictures. I added a photo mat to the front flap, a striped scalloped sticker to the edge, and decorated with some adorable die cuts. Inside, I chose the Sing Me A Song paper that's covered in colorful birdhouses and birds. 

And we can't forget my clear Acrylic Display Stand! It's perfect for showing off your mini albums and can be set out year round filled with special pictures. Such a cute spring decor piece!

I hope today's new Memories Mini Album gives you a little inspiration for the season. The Bella Blvd Just Because Collection is perfect for highlighting your spring photos and the Cut-Outs made my clear acrylic cover look amazing!! Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrappin'! 😊
