NEW! Everyday Memories Scalloped Acrylic Album Kit

Happy Wednesday! Who's ready to see this week's brand new kit that will be in my shop on Friday? It's a wonderfully generic mini album titled Everyday Memories that has bright citrus colors and a playful summer vibe that's perfect for all kinds of fun memories!

I designed it with the Simple Stories, Sweet Summertime Collection that's filled with fun images of flowers, cameras, cherries, butterflies, ladybugs, ice cream cones, and fun whimsical patterns.

Acrylic Scallop Edge Square Scrapbook Album with white cardstock pages and binding rings

For the album, I used my 7x7 inch clear Acrylic Scallop Square Album. It has a pretty scalloped edge around all 4 sides, 6x6 inch white cardstock pages, and silver binding rings. 

Here's a close-up of the album's scalloped edge. Isn't it pretty? The scallops have little lace like cut-outs!

On the cover, I chose a 3x4 card with flowers and a butterfly, then used the "memories" foam sticker for the title. For dimension, I added some thick white acrylic circles and covered them in pattern papers that I cut with a circle punch. Then, I finished it off with some glossy enamel dots. I love how all the circle shapes mimic the scallop edge and pattern paper behind the clear cover.

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 9 flippies, a bunch of cute journaling cards, and space for 40+ photos. The page above has one of those flippies, along with fun yellow polka dots, a colorful plaid, and lots of "good vibes".

Here's a smaller 4x6 inch page. It has a cute scene on the front and a pretty plaid paper on the backside so you can add a picture. And I love the saying ... "it's all about the moments in-between". So true. 💕

This cheerful scrapbook has a light, summery theme but it's not overly specific. So, it's perfect for photos of everyday moments, fun with family or friends, a birthday or ANY celebration, date night or girls night out, silly selfies with the kiddos, a vacation or a weekend get-away, and even photos with your furbabies

Here's a peek at another fold-out page. The front flap has a super cute journaling card where you can document about "the best day ever". 😉

I love the extra space a fold-out page gives you in mini albums, so I always try to add a few to my scrapbooks. This one has "The Good Life" card on the front that matches the cute plaid paper inside perfectly. Open it up and you'll see ...

... a pretty pink flippie, another journaling card, and space on the inside of the flap for 1-2 more photos! And did you notice I sprinkled enamel glitter dots throughout the album? Love those.

So, what do you think of my NEW Everyday Memories Scrapbook Kit? The clear Acrylic Scallop Square Album sets the tone for a whimsical project and the cute Simple Stories Sweet Summertime Collection was just the right addition. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! And remember, it'll be in my shop on Friday. 

Thanks for visiting the blog and have a wonderfully crafty day! 😊

12x12 Crafty Girl Scrapbook Page with Doodlebug

Hello crafty friends! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook page and that is perfect for photos of a fun retreat. I designed it with the Color Me Crafty Collection and I'm loving the colors, the adorable icons, and the fun patterns!

12x12 Crafty Weekend Girl Scrapbook Page with flowers, scissors, a camera, and other craft supplies

I absolutely love how a stripe looks as the base of a page, so I layered the sheet called Colorway with citrus and white pieces of card stock. I cut some circle shapes with my Cricut out of Bubblegum card stock and added them to the center of my background.

12x12 Crafty Weekend Girl Scrapbook Page with flowers, scissors, a camera, and other craft supplies

Crafty Weekend Girl was the perfect title for my page. These pieces come in the Chit Chat pack along with 99 (!) other adorable phrases, word strips, and cute sentiments.
The flowers are from the Bits & Pieces pack, and those fun scissors are from the Odds & Ends. Die cuts are my favorite crafty embellishment, well ... next to enamel dots and sprinkles, of course!  :)

12x12 Crafty Weekend Girl Scrapbook Page with flowers, scissors, a camera, and other craft supplies

How cute is that layered camera, flowers, and photos piece!!? That is also in the Bits & Pieces and it fit perfectly clustered over my colorful little photo mats. Some shape sprinkles, a couple This and That stickers, and a few more die cuts finished off my page. I love all of the color and can't wait to add my pictures!

I hope my page has inspired you to create something fun with Color Me Crafty!

Hey girlies! Time to share this week's 2nd NEW kit that will be in my shop on Friday. Yesterday, I introduced my 12x12 Born To Explore Page Kit that's great for photos of outdoor adventures. Today, I have a mini album titled Our Story Together that's perfect for wedding photos, an anniversary, a love story, or a memory album!

Our Story Together Scrapbook Album with flowers, butterflies, musical notes, instruments, clocks, and a big bow

I created this with a 6x8 inch Doodlebug Design binder in black and the Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony Collection. It features gorgeous flowers, butterflies, musical notes and instruments, time pieces, and a wonderfully generic theme that can be used for many different photos.

You can use this for pictures of a couple's relationship, an engagement, the ring, a party, or the big day! You could also make this a wedding planner for note taking, reminders, lists, receipts, business cards, and brochures. 

Our Story Together Scrapbook Album Page with pretty flowers, butterflies, a fold out card, and a charming gingham print

Inside, there are 20 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 1 pocket, 6 flippies, and space for 60+ photos on the layouts and in the clear page protectors. Above is one of those cute flippies. Open it to see ...

Here is one of the fold-out pages. Check out the dark, delicate floral print on the flap mixed with the lighter, more rustic wood print in the background. Such a great combination. And that lovely "timeless & true" card is another flippie with space for 2 photos.

Our Story Together Scrapbook Album Page with a pocket, pretty flowers, and journaling cards

I love a pocket page filled with pretty journaling cards and photos mats, but it's also a perfect spot for memorabilia. Add an invitation, love notes, your vows, greeting cards, tickets, receipts, or travel plans.

If you're using this as a memory album, add an obituary, handwritten letters, a family tree, military papers, a death certificate, or extra photos.

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing one of this week's TWO new kits that will be available in my shop on Friday. I've had so much fun creating mini albums with the new Bella Blvd Adventure Awaits Collection, so ... this kit is for my all my 12x12 scrappers out there. Say hello to my new 12x12 Born To Explore Page Layouts!

12x12 Born To Explore Scrapbook Layouts for photos of the lake, a park, camping, hiking, fishing, and waterfalls

These pages are so fun! I just love this collection and how it highlights all types of outdoor activities. It's perfect for a vacation in nature, a weekend at the lake, a cabin, hiking, beautiful views, a park, camping, waterfalls, fishing, kayaking, biking, swimming, BBQs, an RV, and yummy s'mores by the fire.

12x12 Born To Explore Scrapbook Layouts with flowers, a cute camper, mountains, trees, fish, and butterflies

There are 6 scrapbook pages that include 3 coordinating layouts (like the two in the photo above). The stickers, die cuts, and flower print on this page are so good! I mean ... how cute is that camper, the colorful wildflowers, that round camping scene, and the butterflies?! ✨ 

12x12 Born To Explore Scrapbook Layout with a cute squirrel, streams, hiking trails, and polka dots

On this layout, I added the River Valley paper with its dotted trails and winding streams. Great for pictures of hiking, exploring, paddle boarding, or white water river rafting.

Each of these pages have multiple photo mats with space for 21 pictures and a few spots for journaling.

This cute bear is my favorite. He's got his hiking boots on like he's ready for an adventure! Have you and your family (or friends) been exploring this year? Whether you've taken a relaxing nature walk or a rugged backcountry trail, gone horseback riding or taken a leisurely bike ride ... these pages work for it all.

12x12 Born To Explore Scrapbook Layout with a fishing rod, waves, and colorful fish

Maybe you've spent time fly fishing, swimming, or tubing down stream. Do you enjoy boating on the lake or waterskiing? What about yard games like bean bag toss (cornhole), bocce ball, and horseshoes on the grass? It all sounds so fun, and guess what? These layouts work for those pics too!

12x12 Born To Explore Scrapbook Layout with a cute tent, mountains, trees, and a scalloped sticker

NEW! You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Kit

Hello ladies! Who's ready to see this week's second NEW kit that will be in my shop on Friday? Yesterday, I introduced my 12x12 Hello Sunshine Layouts filled with a bright colorful summer vibe. Today, I'm sharing a new mini album titled You Me and the Sea that has a more traditional beach and nautical theme. Both projects are just perfect for the season. 

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album with a nautical and beach theme

I designed this album with the Simple Stories, Sand and Sea Collection. It features coastal images, anchors, lighthouses, seashells, flowers, beachwear, and a classic red, white, and blue color scheme. So, it makes a beautiful keepsake for summer photos. 

Add memories of a beach vacation, July 4th weekend (remember it's the 250th anniversary of the United States!), fun with family and friends, a cruise, exploring an island, boating, fishing, or touring a lighthouse.

Acrylic Clear Vertical 6x8 Album with white cardstock pages by Artsy Albums

For the album, I used one of my clear Acrylic Vertical 6x8 Albums. It has 2 covers made of high quality 1/8" acrylic, white card stock pages with fun interactive elements, and 3 binding rings.

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a folding card, a life preserver, big flowers, and a leaf patterns

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 7 flippies (see one above), and space for 35 photos of your favorite moments. 

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a fold-out section, a navy gingham, hearts, stripes, and flowers

Above is one of the awesome fold-out pages. I covered the front flap in a navy blue gingham and added a flippie on top with space inside for two pictures. Open the page and you'll see ...

... this! I've added two photo mats for larger pictures or journaling. The red and white stripes, the blue leaf pattern, and the vintage style "memories by the sea" sticker add such charm! 

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a beach scene, a glass bottle, and seashells

Whether you take a long trip or a weekend getaway, be sure to get pictures of your beach cottage / rental, the ocean views, sunrises or sunsets, swimming, collecting seashells or sea glass, building sand castles, fishing, and fun with your favorite people. 

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a lighthouse, a beach scene, hearts, enamel dots, and a tan gingham print

If you explore the beach town or surrounding areas, be sure to visit the local lighthouse. I love seeing these, learning about the history, and after a bit of a climb ... the view! It's amazing. Trust me, it's worth the steps. 

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a fold-out section, a seashell, leaf pattern, and big flower blossoms

Here's the second fold-out page with lots of big beautiful flowers. I created another flippie on the front flap and added a cute little seashell sticker. Inside, there are ...

You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album Page with a pocket and journaling cards with an anchor, a swimsuit, and a hat

This is one of the pocket pages. I tucked some really interesting cards inside that can be used for journaling or as photo mats, but you can also save memorabilia here. Add postcards, small maps, notes, itineraries, tickets, brochures, or extra pics.

Nautical, Beach, and Sea Scrapbook Album on a clear acrylic display stand

If your summer plans include a beach vacation, boating, fishing, a cruise, or enjoying an island adventure ... you need my new You Me and the Sea Scrapbook Album. It's a super FUN project to create and makes a beautiful summer keepsake.
