NEW! Fall Family Scrapbook Album Kit

Happy Friday! Autumn is just around the corner, so I have a cheerful NEW scrapbook kit in the shop to celebrate! It's titled Fall Family and it's filled with warm colors, beautiful flowers, pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and cute little forest animals. It's the perfect keepsake for this next season of fun with family and friends!

I designed it with a 6x8 inch Doodlebug Design binder in bumblebee yellow and the fabulous Simple Stories, Pumpkins and Plaid Collection.

On the cover, I wanted this beautiful pumpkin to be the star. I loved its pretty flowers and all those fresh fall colors. I added a twine bow to the stem, then decorated around it with foam stickers, cute images, enamel dots, and an aqua blue scalloped ribbon from Mayarts.

This mini album can hold ALL of your autumn memories! It has 20 scrapbook pages that include 3 pockets, 1 fold-out, 7 flippies, and space for 60+ photos on the layouts and in the clear page protectors.  

Add pictures of a vacation, the changing leaves, family gatherings, Thanksgiving, a fall festival, a hike through nature, fun with friends, apple picking, football games, a homecoming parade, and sweet everyday moments.

This page alone has space for 4 pictures between the main photo mat and the flippie. The flippie opens to the left with room inside for 2 photos, then ... it lifts UP with a spot for 1 more! 

Can I just say ... this collection has an unexpected mix of colors and I am super here for it! I love the addition of soft aqua blue and pink. So lovely for fall!

Check out this fun layout with 12 colorful tags. I added enamel dots to each one and photo mats to some. In my album kit, YOU can pick and choose which tags get photos. Above, I added space for nine.

Is it just me or does everyone think of paint by numbers when they see this background paper? Ha! I loved painting those when I was little, so this page brings back lots of fun and creative memories!

This autumn inspired pocket is a great place to save extra photos, journaling cards, and memorabilia, like ... a favorite fall recipe, postcard, an invitation, a brochure for a fun activity, a hotel room key, a small map, tickets for a concert, a special greeting card, or a program from a school or church event.

How cute is this fold-out page?! I added a gold binder clip to the top with a pretty pink ribbon. Not only does it keep the page secure, but it also holds a fun little journaling card on the backside. So many fun things!

My NEW Fall Family Scrapbook Album (kit and premade) are now available in my shop. Hop over there next to get one. It's a perfect keepsake, and ... a wonderful gift idea! 😊

It's A Boy Baby Acrylic Scrapbook Album

Hi friends! It's time to share Jodi Berg's fun new scrapbook project that uses one of my acrylic albums and a super sweet Doodlebug collection. It's titled "It's A Boy" and the simple, step-by-step instructions for it are now in my shop. If you're looking for a gift idea, or ... a darling keepsake for your own baby photos, Jodi's album is a must-see! 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

It's A Boy Scrapbook Instructions

She designed it with Doodlebug's Special Delivery Collection that features soft pastel colors and sweet images of baby supplies, toys, clouds, stars, the moon, trains, animals, buttons, and more! (Links below.) 

For the album, Jodi used my 6x6 inch Acrylic Peek-a-Boo Stars Album. It's made with a soft blue acrylic and has star shaped cutouts on the front cover. She said ... "I just love that it has little peek-a-boo spots for embellishments or pictures of the new baby. What a great way to highlight their first photo."

Enamel sprinkles are one of my favorite embellishments and Jodi added lots of cute clouds and stars to the front. Love them! Then, she layered strips of fun pattern papers along the bottom. 

Inside the cover on the first page, she added a colorful gingham print, a yellow rick rack border sticker, and little paper grommets to the binding holes. Then, she chose some die cuts, cut two star shapes out of the petite prints, and sewed around them with embroidery floss. So cute!

Here's a close-up. Jodi said ... "I added hand stitching for texture and to give that handmade feel." I 💛 that.

Look at this page. How clever is this? She created a really cute dresser using 6x8 petite prints - linen and gingham and woodgrain in bon bon. She added enamel dots for the knobs, then tucked a bunch of adorable die cuts into the drawers!

She said ... "The dresser was created with rectangles and layers. I just thought it was a fun and easy way to create an embellishment for the album."

This layout is the inside of one of the fold out pages. Jodi added a cute yellow polka dot print, 2 photo mats, die cuts, and hand stitched the center of the stars. She also included some monthly pieces so you can document the wonderful changes your baby makes along the way. 

Here's a sweet page for photos of baby's meal time. Jodi layered two prints and added more hand stitching along the top and bottom. She used yellow card stock and a 2" scallop circle punch to create a mat behind the "Lunch time" die cut from the Chit Chat. Perfect!

Ohhhh, what a cute layout this is. Jodi used the petite print buffalo check in grey for the background, then added swimming pool cardstock and the cute Nighty Night cloud print. She embellished with die cuts from the Odds & Ends and added more hand stitching around the cloud. Finally, she made 2 photo mats and included the "love you to the moon ... " die cut from the Chit Chat.

I hope you enjoyed Jodi's wonderful It's A Boy Scrapbook Album today! If you need a home for your sweet baby photos, a beautiful gift idea, or a grandma's brag book ... I hope you'll give this fun project a try. 

The It's A Boy Scrapbook Instructions and the Acrylic Peek-a-Boo Stars Album are now available in my shop. Product links below. And thank you again, Jodi for another adorable and super creative mini album! 💕

Cat Heart Shaped Acrylic Scrapbook Album

Hi scrappers! Who's ready for some kitty cat cuteness?! It's time for my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this week, I made a heart shaped mini album that's purrrrrfect for your favorite feline's photos. It's titled You Had Me At Meow, and ... I've just added the simple, step-by-step instructions for it to my shop! 🩷

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

You Had Me At Meow Scrapbook Instructions

I designed it with the Bella Blvd, Meow Collection and it's absolutely ahhh-dorable! The kitties are sporting fun little accessories like bows, flowers, bandanas, scarves, and glasses. And there are cat toys, treats, paw prints, and so many cute patterns!

For the album, I used my clear Acrylic Heart Shaped Album. It has 6 acrylic pages that are approx. 6 3/4" x 5 1/2", 1 binding ring, and endless possibilities!   

NEW! I have included an SVG download file in the Acrylic Heart Album listing. If you have an electronic cutting machine (Cricut, Silhouette, etc.), then you can use this SVG file to cut out the pattern paper that fits as an inset on each of the acrylic pages. The download will be sent via email. If you do not have a machine that cuts SVG files, no worries! You can simply use the template that is provided with the album to trace and cut out your pattern paper. Easy peasy!

For the cover, I layered two hearts cut from the back and front of the 12x12 Smitten Kitten paper. I used a 3.5" scallop circle punch and a 3" circle punch to create the shape in the center, then added the super sweet Purrsnickety Bella-pops. I love that little orange cat with the blue bird on its head, lol! 

I wanted to zhush it up a little more, so I added a few epoxy dots and stars from the Sun Fun pack (Walking On Sunshine Collection), an epoxy heart from the Cat Lover stickers, a title from Words, and a bunch of cute die cuts from the Ephemera Icons (links below).

What a colorful page for your snuggling memories! I made the photo mat with the 12x12 Fur Ball paper and white card stock, then added some die cuts from the Ephemera Icons and Words. I chose a couple of epoxy hearts and added 3 epoxy dots to the corners of the pillow, and ... the page was complete!

This heart shaped scrapbook makes a perfect keepsake for memories of your sweet furbaby, their friends, the zoomies, making biscuits, their favorite toy, the crazy cat nip behavior, silly sleeping positions, and the intense stare with airplane ears. 

The background print on this page is titled Cat Life and it's filled with fun words like spoiled, lovable, feline, purrs, cat nip, etc. To create as big of a mat as I could, I clipped the corners of this one using a scalloped We R Memory Keepers corner chomper. That way, it doesn't hang off the edges of the layout. 

Are you cat obsessed? If so, you'll love this page. I used the colorful striped Borders print in the background and layered strips of the Fur Ball and That Face papers across the center. Next, I added the flower Doohickey border sticker, the pink 3D flower from the Wings of Sunshine Bella-pops, and lots of precious cats from the Icons. For the brown one, I cut and repositioned it's tail to hang out the bottom. Sorry kitty! 😂

Check out this handy little pocket page I made with the Cat Life and Smitten Kitten papers. I used the scalloped Doohickey sticker to visually separate the prints and tucked the edge of a curious upside-down cat just underneath. Inside the pocket, I added a photo mat, 2 tags from the Daily Details, and a cat toy die cut embellished with a tiny epoxy dot! 

Don't forget my clear Acrylic Display Stand! And ... if you're also a dog lover, be sure to check out my Smile Maker Dog Scrapbook I made a few weeks ago.

I hope my "You Had Me at Meow" Scrapbook, Acrylic Heart Album, and Bella Blvd's cute Meow Collection have inspired you to recreate this fun project. The simple, step-by-step instructions for it are in my shop!!

Below are the product links and have a wonderful day! 🐱🐾🩷

Here's another zoo-per fun pocket! This one has 3 tag shaped mats for pictures or notes. I added a scalloped circle tab at the top of each that not only makes them way cuter, but easier to slide out! 

I love this "wildly wonderful" page. The black polka dot background, the sweet koala bears, and the interactive flippie with the pink 🦩 flamingo that looks like it's wearing tall striped socks, lol! So cute! 

Above is the fabulous waterfall element. On the front, that crazy zoo crew packed in their jeep. And inside, lots of flip-up pages covered in colorful pattern papers and space for 6 otterly 🦦 amazing photos! 

 

This awesome scrapbook kit is fun and such a great 🐨 koala-ty! Everything is archival so your memories will last a lifetime. The zoo / jungle / animal theme is super cute, so unique, and can be used for anything from everyday moments to a adventurous safari! I am not lion. 🦁

Summer Fun Fin-tastic Scrapbook Layout with Doodlebug

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I created a 12x12 scrapbook layout that's "fin-tastic" for beach, pool, fishing, and warm weather memories. I designed it with the colorful Summer Fun Collection and was inspired by one of its cute 🐟 fish patterns!

To make it, I chose the 12x12 rainbow stripe Beach Towel print as the base and layered white cardstock on top. Next, I cut five 2" strips out of colorful pattern papers and varied their lengths for interest. At the bottom of each, I punched small fish out using an EK Success Paper Shaper. Then, I added foam squares to the back and sprinkled them on the page.

At the top, I added two 3x4 inch blue polka dot Gull Friends photo mats. To embellish, I chose the sun 🌞 die cut from the Odds & Ends and the adorable toucan bird from the Tropical Trio Doodle-pops. I placed him along the edge as if he was sitting on the photo mat.

Next, I cut the colorful fish paper called Summer School into a wave shape and adhered it to the page. Then, I added the Donnie Dolphin Doodle-pops and a few of his enamel water drops. So cute and such a fun name!

And finally, I added the "you're" and "fin-tastic" stickers from the Puffy Words. I love the little bit of shine and dimension they add, along with the Doodle-pops and the popped-up fish. 

I hope this colorful layout inspires you to be creative with Doodlebug's fabulous Summer Fun Collection. Below are the links for the products I used. Have a wonderful day and happy scrapping everyone! 😊
