New! Bunny Hop Easter Scrapbook Album Kit

Hi friends! Are you ready for cuteness overload? Brace yourselves, then say hello to this week's NEW Easter mini album kit titled Bunny Hop! It will be available in my shop on Friday and it's filled with bunnies, chicks, spring images, gorgeous colors, and ... an egg-stra special new element! 

I created this with my white 8x8 inch Acrylic Square Circle Window Album, Doodlebug Design's Bunny Hop Collection, and its Shadow Box Insert Kit. If you're not familiar with these fun sticker collages, it's time to introduce you! I've never included one in a kit, and I think you're going to LOVE it! 🩷

Here's a close up. It's SO stinkin' cute! The insert kit comes with a circle template, card stock, vellum, and tons of colorful stickers (including enamel sprinkles)! You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it, and ... you end up with this amazing little piece of art. It's fun and kind of relaxing!

Inside, I've added 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 1 pocket, 5 sweet little flippies, and space for at least 35 photos. It's the perfect size for photos of the Easter weekend.

Add pictures of spring, a visit with the Easter bunny, coloring Easter eggs, holiday decorations, an egg hunt, a church event, family gatherings, fun with friends, Easter baskets, Sunday brunch, and everyday memories.

There are plenty of places to journal and document fun stories, family traditions, a favorite holiday meal, a recipe, or a bible verse. You can also add dates, the location, names, or a fun event that you attended.  

Above is one of the cute flippies. I love the card with it's chocolate bunny, peeps, and Easter eggs. I also added a scalloped round die cut that could be used for a small circular photo or a bit of journaling.

This spring scrapbook is a fabulous gift idea for Easter, a birthday, or Mother's Day. And if you're going to someone's house for the holiday, bring this as a hostess gift and they can save their photos from the day.

Don't forget my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It's perfect for showing off your mini albums, especially around the holidays. If you give this scrapbook as a gift, be sure to get them a stand too! 

I can't wait for spring and this project brought me so much joy! I hope you love my NEW Bunny Hop Easter Mini Album. It'll be available as a pre-order in my shop on Friday, along with 5 NEW instructions. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a wonderful day. 😊

Spring St. Patrick's Day Mini Album with Box

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing a fun spring and St. Patrick's Day scrapbook project with a step-by-step VIDEO tutorial (see below). Since my Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects fell on the same day, I combined a cute paper collection with a fun cutting file to create this adorable mini album in a box. ❤️🌈🍀

For the paper and embellishments, I used the Doodlebug Design Lucky Me Collection. It's filled with the cutest spring flowers, clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, bluebirds, and bright happy colors. Love it!

For the cut file, I chose Lori's 5x5 Album With Box (links below). It includes score lines for easy folding and binding holes for the ribbon. The album and box are a great size and can be designed with ANY collection. 

To start, I cut the base out of white cardstock, cut the pattern pieces out, then assembled it (see video below).

The album has 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of colorful die cuts from All The Things, some shiny enamel dots, and photo mats in different sizes.

In this photo you can see the pretty green ribbon I used to bind the pages together. I love the simple layout on the left with its cute ladybug and red polka dots! And on the right, I created a fun little flippie with a 3x4 leprechaun card. Perfect for a few extra photos.

Here, I used another 3x4 card on the left as a photo mat and added some fun die cuts. On the right, more die cuts for St. Patrick's Day and some yellow enamel dots that mimic the gold coins. How cute!

I hope you like today's project. It's a great little scrapbook for photos of spring, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and everyday memories. AND ... it comes with it's own box! It's fun and simple thanks to Lori Whitlock's fabulous 5x5 Album With Box Cutting File and Doodlebug Design's adorable Lucky Me Collection.

NEW! Hello Friend Scrapbook Album Kit

Happy Wednesday! Who's ready to see this week's new scrapbook kit?! I finally got my hands on the new Simple Stories collections and this one is pretty great. It's a beautiful mini album titled Hello Friend that will be in my shop on Friday. It's perfect for pictures of your bestie, your partners in crime, your posse, your favorite gal pals, or family that feels like best friends. 

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Doodlebug Design binder in bumblebee yellow and the fabulous Simple Stories, Pink Lemonade Collection. It's so lovely and filled with citrus colors, spring flowers, butterflies, strawberries, lemons, and cute gingham patterns.

On the cover, I added layers of pretty patterned papers, foam stickers, enamel dots, cardstock stickers, and a cute polka dot ribbon tied in a bow. Lots of cute details and dimension!

Inside, there are 20 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 7 flippies, 5 pockets, and space for 58+ photos on the layouts and in the clear page protectors. Above, I added a fun flippie with an extra little page inside with room for 3 photos.

I love this page. Not only is it filled with fun patterns, but also ... photo space! I created a pocket and tucked 2 colorful photo mats inside. Then on the front, I added another multi-layer flippie with space for 4 more pictures. The flippies are getting fancier. 😉

How cute is this library pocket? The playful flowers just make me so happy. I turned it on it's side so I could add a photo mat below it, then added a folding card inside for more pics with your bestie or a few notes.

On this page, I added another small pocket ... that is ALSO a flippie! Save little mementos inside like tickets, tags, business cards from a fun activity, or a hotel key card from a girls weekend away. Then, add a picture under the flap!

This scrapbook is all about friendships so you can add memories with you and your one ride-or-die best friend, a special group of girls that you're close with, different friend groups (from college, work, pickleball, mahjong, etc.), or photos with family that feel like they're your best friend (sister, mom, or a cousin). 

This album also has two pocket pages that are larger so you can add photos or memorabilia. Here are a few suggestions ...

• favorite recipes you and your friends have shared
• greeting or thank you cards
• tickets from a concert, movie, sporting event, or charity event
• postcards from a trip you both took 
• labels from your favorite wine or champagne
  
• an invitation
• a program from a play
• or a brochure from a spa, restaurant, salon, cafe, or fabulous hotel that you and your friends have spent time at

This mini album makes a perfect keepsake for pictures of your special friendships. You can keep it for yourself or give it as a gift for a birthday, holiday, or ... just because they mean so much to you.

This beautiful new Hello Friend Mini Album Kit (and premade) will be in my shop on Friday along with the instructions for my cute new Home is Where Your Honey Bee Album. Until then, have a wonderful day and happy crafting! 😊

Home Is Where Your Honey Bee Scrapbook Album

Hello everyone! Today, I have a cute NEW scrapbook project for you filled with bees, bears, and bee-utiful blooms! It's a mini album titled Home is Where Your Honey Bee and it's perfect for lots of different photos like family, spring, baby, and more. The instructions for it will be in my shop on Friday. Take a look ...

I created it with the adorable Doodlebug Design, Bee Happy Collection. I absolutely LOVE this line - it's so incredibly versatile. I also used my black 8x8 inch Acrylic Square Circle Window Album that I specifically designed for Doodlebug's Shadow Box Insert Kits.

The album consists of two 8x8 inch covers made of high quality 1/8" acrylic and 4 binding rings. It also has 6 cardstock pages that include 3 plain, 2 fold-out, and 1 pocket - all with pre-punched binding holes.

Here's a close-up of the Bee Happy Shadow Box Insert Kit. Isn't it the cutest?! The kit comes with a circle template, cardstock, vellum, and a fun mix of colorful stickers. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it, and when you're done ... you end up with a spectacular little collage!

The album has 12 pages (6 double-sided) that include 1 fold-out page, 3 pockets, 5 flippies, and space for at least 32 photos. Above, is one of those flippies. 

Well actually, it's a trifold flippie. I used three cute 4x4 cards to create it and it has room inside for 2 pictures.

I 💛 this pocket. On the front, I added a journaling card that's great for notes, dates, a location, an event, an itinerary, or a fun and meaningful story. Then, I tucked a colorful photo mat inside and added a little bee.

This scrapbook is perfect for photos of home, spring, Easter, family gatherings, fun with friends, Mother's Day, summer, gardening, a birthday celebration, and everyday moments. You could also add pictures of a bridal shower, a baby shower, and new baby photos. This cute theme is so flexible!

And because this mini works for so many different memories, it makes the BEST gift idea. Give it to someone for Easter, a birthday, Mother's Day, a baby gift, a housewarming, or ... just because! 😉

Add some of your "sweetest memories" to this page. It has two photo mats, another handy little pocket, and two adorable tags tucked inside. 

Here's a pocket page big enough for lots of goodies. I added a photo mat and some cute cards but you could also save memorabilia, like ... a greeting card, an invitation, notes from a loved one, pressed flowers, tickets to an event, or a small drawing from the littles.

I hope you love my new "Home Is Where Your Honey Bee" Mini Album. The simple, step-by-step instructions will be in my shop on Friday along with the Acrylic Square Circle Window Album. It makes the cutest keepsake for your memories and an "un-bee-lievable" gift idea! 😉

12x12 Lucky St. Patrick's Day Scrapbook Layout

Hello everyone! With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I wanted to create a new 12x12 Irish themed layout for my next Bella Blvd Design Team Project. I designed this "Lucky" page with the fabulous My Life 365 Collection, one of Bella's rainbow cutting files, and some colorful Besties prints! 🌈🍀⭐

To make it, I started with the 12x12 Luck Of The Irish paper as the base. Then, I layered the guacamole graph & dot print and white cardstock on top. Next, using the Rainbow cutting file from Bella's You Are My Sunshine Collection, I cut the bands out of guacamole, gulf, and bell pepper in graph & dot, and orange in gingham & stripes (links below).

I didn't use all of the rainbow's bands knowing I wanted to incorporate some embellishments in between. I added the black epoxy dots from the Teen Vibe Carson Collection and spelled out "so lucky" with the Letter Scramble Stickers in guacamole. 

In the bottom center of the rainbow, I added some die cut sayings from the ephemera words and the clover and orange flower from the ephemera icons. 

At the top of the page, I added the "lucky" die cut from the ephemera words, the blue "family" sticker from the Doohickey, and 3 photo mats that measure 3" x 4.25". The orange "remember" tab and "smile" are also from the ephemera words and the colorful stars are from the icons.

Here, I added the adorable green "Loads of Luck" truck that's carrying potted clover plants.🍀So cute! And for a little detail, I added 2 orange epoxy dots to the tires and sprinkled a few more around the page.

I've made so many fun projects with the My Life 365 Collection and recommend it as a staple in your scrapbook room. To see these, visit ...
