Isn't this first page so cute?! It has lots of fun circle and scallop shapes that mimic the rainbows and suns. I included a few little butterflies, a bee, and a kite that add so much whimsy to the fabulous summer vibe.

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.

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!

Oh! And don't forget my Acrylic Display Stand. The clear acrylic practically disappears and it's a great way to display your wonderful memories and creative work.

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.

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.

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.

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! 😊

NEW! Fourth Of July Scrapbook Album Kit

Hey crafty friends! It's time for a peek inside this week's NEW Fourth Of July Mini Album Kit that will be in my shop on Friday. It's filled with Doodlebug's patriotic cuteness and will highlight all your photos of a parade, a weekend festival, a neighborhood party, backyard BBQs, an afternoon on the lake, picnics in the park, biking, outdoor games, fun at the beach, boating, and those amazing fireworks.

Fourth Of July Scrapbook Mini Album with acrylic covers, fireworks, flags, stars, a red truck, silver foil accents, and cute ribbons

I designed this with my Acrylic Mini Album 5"x4.5", but used red acrylic for the covers for a festive new look. Then, I decorated it with 2 different Doodlebug Design collections - Hometown USA and some leftovers from Land That I Love. They go perfectly together and the result is ahh-dorable!

Fourth Of July Scrapbook Mini Album with acrylic covers, fireworks, flags, stars, a red truck, silver foil accents, and cute ribbons

On the front cover, I chose this sweet
 Fourth Of July sticker as the title. For dimension, I added a matching acrylic shaped piece behind it. If you look closely, you can see its clear acrylic edges sticking out from behind it. This and the sticker's metallic trim make this fun shape really stand out.

Here's another angle where you can see the dimension of the layers on the cover. And check out all the pages this little album has! I can't wait to fill mine with our fun weekend pictures.

Just inside the cover, I added a flippie with space for 2 photos. The cute airplane, the American flag, the fireworks, and all the tiny polka dots look great against this red background. Don't you think?

The album has 20 scrapbook pages (10 double-sided) that include 2 pockets, 2 fold-out pages, 6 flippies, and space for 33 small photos (small photos are SO cute!!). Above is one of the fold-outs and when you open it ...

Here's another one of the fun little flippies. These are so great for adding extra space for photos or notes to small scrapbook layouts.

Check out all the fun pattern papers on this pocket page. I mixed polka dots and stripes, then added lots of colorful journaling cards to the pocket. Some even have cute scalloped designs on them! L❤️VE.

Fourth Of July Scrapbook Mini Album Page with a fold-out, a popsicle, a row of gems, and silver foil letters

This fold-out with its round Popsicle sticker was super "sweet" (lol), but it still needed a little more. So, I added a row of blue gems down the side for some sparkle!
