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.

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.

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.

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? 😉

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 ...

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. 

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

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!

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 horn of plenty 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?

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. If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the instructions and the Acrylic House Shaped Album are available in my shop. Thanks for stopping by the blog and happy scrapping! 💛

To decorate the acrylic cover, Jodi added the "Game On" title, some cards, and a set of dice. She said ... “I love the clear acrylic albums because they give you a chance to do a layered cover for your album. Here, I used the big bold letters and other die cuts from the Page Pieces."

On the first page just inside the cover, she created her own design using different coordinating papers. Jodi said, "I cut the patterns into diagonal strips and sewed a zig zag stitch in between. Then for a fun touch, I glued white pom pom trim to the edge of the page.” ... Love it!

Game On Scrapbook Album Page that features a fold-out section, dice, a journaling card, and colorful pattern papers with card symbols

This project has 12 pages (6 double-sided) that include 2 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 2 fun flippies, and space for 22 photos. Above is one of the fold-outs. Jodi layered a solid blue paper and a bold print in the background, then added a photo mat.

How fun is this page?! Jodi said, “I fussy cut the winding game board and tucked the top of it behind the photo mat. I love how it draws your eye right in with all the fun colors.” This is awesome Jodi, and the enamel glitter dots on the game pieces are such a cute detail!

Hey Pumpkin Halloween Tag Album with Doodlebug

Hey guys! I'm so excited Halloween is just a few days away. If you're looking for a quick and easy holiday project, then I hope you'll try my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. I created an acrylic tag shaped mini album with a fun Doodlebug collection, and ... I've added the FREE instructions for it to my shop!! It makes the cutest little keepsake for photos and it's a great gift idea!

To get the FREE instructions for this project visit:

I designed this with the ahh-mazing Hey Pumpkin Collection that features cute little black cats, witches, ghosts, candies, flowers, pumpkins, spiders, and vibrant Halloween colors that are gourd-geous! 🎃

I also used my clear Acrylic Tag Shaped Album. It's 2x4 inches and comes with 1 binding ring and 6 tags. I specifically designed this album to fit Doodlebug's cut apart tags found on their 12x12 sheets. 

For today's project, I used this 12x12 paper titled Trick or Treat Tags and a few patterns from the 6x6 pad.

On the cover, I chose the precious Doodle-pops called Pumpkin Patch. Since today is National Cat Day, she was a purrfect choice with her smiling pumpkin and pretty layered flowers. And for a little more whimsy, I added some tiny enamel dots from the Trick or Treats shape sprinkles.

No matter how mini my scrapbook is, I always find a way to add extra space for photos. In this tag album, I used the smaller sized cards from the 6x6 paper to create some fun flippies. I love Doodlebug's cute images and now ... this page can fit 2 pictures!

These tags are adorable and again, very simple. On the left, I chose the stacked book tag. It was so cute, all it needed was an enamel spider from the Halloween Night shape sprinkles for a bit of shine. On the right, I created a photo mat and added a mini icon sticker. And for a little dimension, the orange flower from the Pumpkin Patch Doodle-pops was perfect!

The black and white stripes on this tag are a great background for my photo mat, which I cut out of black cardstock and the 6x6 stars print called Moonlight Magic. The cute witch and bat are mini icon stickers.

Here's another fabulous tag that didn't need much decorating. For a little extra detail, I added the pink flower from the Pumpkin Patch Doodle-pops. I love having the tags with the colorful images mixed in between tags with photos. Such cute eye candy!

I hope my new tag shaped mini album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Hey Pumpkin Collection. Its bright Halloween colors, cute images, and fun little embellishments are spooktacular!

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook project, the Acrylic Tag Shaped Album and the FREE instructions are available in my shop! Have a wonderful, safe, and happy Halloween! 🎃
