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 ...

NEW! Craft Room Scrapbook Album Kit

Hello everyone! Ready for a peek at this week's NEW mini album kit? I'm so excited to share this one because it's about scrapbooking, crafting, and being creative ... and we all love that! It's titled Craft Room and it's perfect for pictures of crafting with friends, a weekend retreat or crop, an expo, and your scrapbook space!

I designed it with a 6x8 inch Doodlebug Design binder in limeade and the Echo Park, Craft Room Collection. It's filled with the prettiest spring colors and lots of fun crafting supplies. There are scissors, glue guns, washi tape, yarn, needles, cameras, sewing machines, paint brushes, embroidery floss, flowers, and more.

Because it has a variety of supplies, any type of crafter will enjoy this album. Whether you love scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing, painting, quilting, knitting, or crocheting ... this colorful and fun keepsake is for you! 

The album has 20 scrapbook pages that include so many good elements!! It has 2 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 10 flippies (yep, TEN!), and space for 58+ photos on the layouts and more in the clear page protectors.

Here's just one of the crazy good interactive pages. The 3x4 card (above) opens to the left with space inside for 2 photos. Then, it flips over to the right with a photo mat underneath! That's 3 photos so far, but we're not done ... 

The colorful striped mat holds a larger photo, and that THAT opens to the left with another flippie inside with space for 2 more photos! Then finally on the right side, there's the green mat for yet another picture. So ... that's SEVEN photos on this one mini album page!! 😮😮😮 So good.

With all this space, there's plenty of room for pics of scrapping with friends, crafting with your children or grandchildren, and taking a local art class for drawing, painting, textile arts, or ceramics. You could also add photos of your studio / crafty space, the creative ways you organize your supplies, or your amazing projects.

Next time you and the girls have a scrapbooking weekend ... take this kit (or any of my kits) along with you! It comes with the binder album, pre-cut paper and cardstock, stickers, 4 sheets of cut-apart cards, ribbon, and a cute button! So, all you need to bring are your photos, adhesives, scissors / paper trimmer, and a bone folder. That fits in ONE small bag vs. lugging a giant suitcase of different supplies. 🎉

My NEW Craft Room Scrapbook is filled with such pretty colors and so many cute supplies. It makes a fabulous keepsake for fun moments of crafting with friends, a crop or a retreat, or and creative memory. You're going to love it!

The DIY kit (and premade) will be available in my shop on Friday along with the OOAK Our Class Trip Scrapbook Album and its instructions, AND the 5 NEW instructions I introduced yesterday. So many fun projects ... so little crafting time, lol! 😊

OOAK Our Class Trip Scrapbook Album & Instructions

Hi friends! I have a such a fun and unique mini album to share with you today! It's titled Our Class Trip and it's a brand new theme for me. The album is all about school field trips, learning, and new discoveries. And ... I'll be adding the one-of-a-kind preassembled album AND its instructions to the shop on Friday! Yay!

I designed it with the Echo Park, Field Trip Collection that's filled with all kinds of images for different types of adventures. There are children, cameras, dinosaurs, school buses, animals, planets, backpacks, telescopes, handprints, and lots of fun sayings.

I also used my custom 6x6 inch red Acrylic Peek-a-Boo Stars Album. I love it's shaped cutouts and the bright red color. I made a July 4th scrapbook titled God Bless America with this album and it turned out really cute.

I kept the cover simple and added a fun mix of pattern papers behind the cutouts. There are science and space images, polka dots, gears, and colorful stars peeking through. 

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 7 flippies, and space for 38 photos. Above, is one of the little flippies. I used the card that says "Anyone up for a field trip?" and thought it was a great way to start the album.

This mini is perfect for kids that go to school, but ... it's also GREAT for kids that are home schooled or families that love to educate their children in adventurous ways! 

Add photos from a science museum, an aquarium, a planetarium, a history museum, a zoo, wildlife center, or a local farm. There are a variety of stickers in this collection so you can customize it for your needs.

Check out this colorful pocket. I added lots of interesting journaling cards that could be used for notes, an itinerary, or as photo mats. You can also save memorabilia like tickets, a brochure, postcards, stickers, or a small map of the venue.

There are plenty of spaces to journal so you can add the date, location, and a list of the day's events. Be sure to document favorite exhibit, new facts learned, what friends went along, and the funny moments.

Isn't this theme fun?! I chose embellishments that were somewhat generic, but there are so many great and more specific stickers in this collection to choose from! There are dinosaur bones, planets, atoms, zoo animals, astronauts, a space shuttle, and aquariums filled with octopus, sting rays, sharks, and whales!

I hope you like this cute new Our Class Trip Mini Album! The OOAK premade AND the instructions will be available in my shop on Friday. The red Acrylic Peek-a-Boo Stars Album is available now. Thanks for visiting the blog and have a crafty day! 😊
