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.

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.

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!

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.

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 ...

... these pretty pages. How cute is that red and white striped bow sticker?! I love it. I added more photo mats, a hat, and a colorful journaling card.

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.

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. 

As a reminder, this album and my new 12x12 Hello Sunshine Layouts will be available in my shop on Friday as DIY kits. And don't forget to pick up an Acrylic Display Stand so you can display this pretty mini! 😊

Explore Acrylic Mini Album with Bella Blvd

Hey guys! Who's ready for a fun new project? Today, I'm sharing a cute little scrapbook that's perfect for photos of summer, fall, and outdoor adventures. It's titled Explore and it's my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project. I'll be adding the instructions for it to my shop soon but until then, here's a look inside ...

Explore Acrylic Scrapbook Album with circle cut-outs and an outdoor theme

I created this with Bella's awesome new Adventure Awaits Collection. I used it in my larger 6x8 Explore Adventure Scrapbook Album as well and love the happy colors, cute animals, and fun outdoorsy prints.

Acrylic Peek-A-Boo Circles DIY Scrapbook Mini Album with circle cut-outs and white card stock pages

Since I wanted this project to be smaller, I used my 6x6 inch Acrylic Peek-A-Boo Circles Album in white. The front cover has circle cut-outs that allow pretty papers and cute embellishments to "peek" through. 

Explore Acrylic Scrapbook Album with circle cut-outs, a deer, compass, sun, flowers, and trees

At the bottom of the cover there's space for a title, so I added the "explore" word from the Explore Together Puffy Stickers (link below). This added visual interest to the front with a little shine and a bit of dimension.

Explore Scrapbook Album page with circles, a cute deer, flowers, a compass, and trees

Here is the first page that shows through the cover's cut-outs. I cut circles out of pattern papers using 1/2", 1",1.25", 1.5", 2", and 3" punches, then chose a few embellishments. My favorite is the Darling Deer Bella-pops. She really IS darling! I lined up and adhered everything just behind the cut-outs, then added the saying from the Ephemera Words and the green scalloped puffy sticker.

Explore Outdoors Scrapbook Album Page with a cute bear, deer, trees, flowers, clouds, and polka dots

Inside, there are 12 white scrapbook pages. I covered them in pattern papers, then created some fun interactive elements. Above, is a fold-out page made with the Borders polka dot paper and the Wander Clouds print. I added a flippie on the front of the flap using a 3x4 card from the Daily Details. Then to embellish, I chose a flower die cut from the Ephemera Icons and a few epoxy Moonlit stickers.

Explore Outdoors Scrapbook Album Page with a fold-out card, a bear, trees, and a pennant

Above, I used the Trail Notes paper in the background, added a large photo mat in the center, and created a flippie using another 3x4 card. Then, I decorated the page with the rainbow striped tab and the "explore" pennant from the Ephemera Words (links below)

Explore Outdoors Scrapbook Album Page with a camping scene, trees, mountains, a moon, a campfire, and stars

On this layout, I made a big flippie with a 4x6 card from the Daily Details. What a cute camping scene! It's a perfect spot for 2 photos of the lake, an RV, hiking, beautiful waterfalls, mountain views, fishing, rafting down stream, biking, ATVs, and ... "campfires, stories, and starry skies"! 

Explore Outdoors Scrapbook Album Page with a pocket, journaling cards, a tag with twine, flowers, and colorful stripes

I love a good pocket page and this one doesn't disappoint. It's a great space for extra photos, notes, or small memorabilia. Perfect for tickets to a park or a fun activity, postcards, a small map, or a brochure. 

To make it, I chose the Forest Friends polka dot for the background, the Wander clouds stripe on the front of the pocket, and the scalloped Doohickey border sticker along the edge to visually separate them. I tucked a few journaling cards / photo mats inside and added a cute tag with jute twine. To embellish, I chose the flowers from the Ephemera Icons and the "Explore" from the Ephemera Words (links below).

If you or someone you know loves visiting parks, the lake, a cabin, the mountains, and all kinds of nature inspired activities ... then this mini album is a great project for you. It holds about 20 photos and makes a perfect keepsake for vacation photos or random outdoor memories. And it's an amazing gift idea!

Color Me Crafty Mini Album With Doodlebug

Hey friends, it's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project! I received the NEW Color Me Crafty Collection this week (yay!!) and I can't wait to share it with you. I loved creating this mini album filled with cute crafting supplies, happy colors, and pretty flowers. Perfect for highlighting our fun, "crafty life" photos!

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Mini Album with cute crafting supplies, bright colors, and lots of photo mats

To start, I chose my 4.5" x 6.5" Tall Acrylic Album in white, the 6x8 paper pad, and several of the card sheets. I added the adorable Perfectly Plaid paper to the front cover, then layered an acrylic piece that matched "The Crafty Life" This & That sticker perfectly. A camera from the Odds & Ends and the Tools of the Trade Doodle-pops finished the look. So cute!

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with colorful stripes and cute Polaroid photo die cuts

I love the little Polaroid photos that are in the Odds & Ends pack, so I had to add them to the first page. The green tab is from the Bits & Pieces pack -- adorable!

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with a pocket, journaling cards, crafting supplies, and cute polka dots

For this fun pocket page, I used the subtle Happy Dots paper in the background so that everything I tucked in the pocket would pop with color. I added a few of the larger Odds & Ends, one of the 3x4 cards, and finished the page with the "Crop" title from the Chit Chat.

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with cute crafting supplies, flowers, and colorful stripes

I 🩷 this layout. The stripe is so colorful and that die cut cluster at the bottom of the page is too cute! I added another tab from the Bits & Pieces to the edge of the page. The album looks so fun with all of them lined up down the side.

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with a coffee cup, flowers, and a pretty plaid

Here, I created a flippie using a 3x4 card. To give it a little dimension, I used pop dots to adhere a matching coffee cup die cut on top of the one printed on the card. Then, I added a pretty flower and leaves from the Garden of Color Shape Sprinkles for a bit of shine.

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with rainbow stripes and cute crafting supplies

Aren't these colorful stripes fun? I used more Chit Chat pieces here and can't wait to tuck a fun crafty picture behind the embellishments.

Color Me Crafty Scrapbook Album page with a pocket, journaling cards, crafting supplies, and colorful scallops

One of the last pages in my album is another pocket. The die cut that I tucked inside is one of my favorites ... it looks like an open 6x8 scrapbook album! I think I'll add a small photo to the back.

Well, that's my project for today! I hope it inspires you to create something fun with Doodlebug's new Color Me Crafty Collection. I'll try to post a flip-through on my social media page soon! 😊
