Zoo Day Acrylic Scrapbook Album with Bella Blvd

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and I've just added the instructions for it to my shop! It's an acrylic mini album made with the adorable new Zoo Day Collection. It's perfect for photos of a day at the zoo, outdoor fun, themed parties, a new baby, everyday memories, and more!

When I first saw this collection, I fell in love with the little animal faces in the puffy stickers. I thought they'd be really cute peeking through the cut-outs of my Acrylic Circle Petal Album.

The album comes in black and white and includes two 7.25" circular shaped covers and 1 binding ring. The album does not come with pages, BUT you can easily use circle cutter, a Cricut or Silhouette machine, or one of the covers as a template to trace and cut as many pages as you'd like.

To decorate the cover, I cut a 4" circle out of the orange polka dot paper called Wild Bunch and added the circle "Zoo Day" Doohickey sticker in the center. Then, I added a pink flower puffy sticker in the white space at the top to mimic the ones in the image (links below).

Inside, I cut five 7.25" circles out of white cardstock, giving me 10 scrapbook pages. For this first page, I added the Jungle Journey acetate on top of the white paper. The loved the leaf pattern! I made a photo mat in the center by punching out a 4" and a 3.5" circle, then added the "love the zoo" chipboard sticker from the Ciao Chip. Finally, I positioned the sweet little puffy sticker animal faces on the layout so they would show through the cutouts on the cover, and ... they looked adorable!

For the rest of the white cardstock pages, I covered them with colorful patterned papers cut into 7" circles. Above, I layered black and white square mats, then embellished with the striped tab, "adventure", and "best days together" die cuts from the Ephemera Words. The "welcome to the zoo" is a Doohickey sticker, the cute zebra and leaves are from the Ciao Chip, and the epoxy stars / dots are from the Safari stickers.

Even a round album can have a cute pocket! To make it, I covered the page in the Bella Besties gingham and stripes in black. Then, I cut another 7" circle out of the same Besties print but in ice blue. I trimmed that down, adhered it to the page, and added the grass border sticker from the Caio Chip and some flowers from the Ephemera Icons. I tucked 2 cards inside for journaling or photos, then added 2 adorable die cuts!

Wouldn't this scrapbook be perfect filled with photos of Disney's Animal Kingdom, a jungle or animal themed birthday party, Halloween, a petting zoo, a baby shower, a gender reveal, or sweet new baby pics? I think it also makes a unique gift idea ... like a brag book for mom or grandma! 

This mini looks awesome sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It's perfect for showing off your fun shaped albums that don't always want to stand up on their own. I imagine this in a baby or kid's room, your office, or on a cute shelf.

I hope you love this album and Bella Blvd's adorable new Zoo Day Collection! My scrapbook is such a fun project. And trust me ... anyone can create this with my simple, step-by-step instructions! They are now in my shop along with the Acrylic Circle Petal Album

Summer Fun Scrapbook Album featuring a bright pink floral pattern, a circular tropical beach scene with palm trees and a sun, and the word 'paradise' in pink script

As for Summer Fun Collection ... I used the 6x8 paper pad, some 12x12 cut apart cards, and lots of cute die cuts and stickers (links below).

My camera album comes with a white acrylic circle for the lens, but I wanted to add pattern papers for more color. So, I used a 3" and a 3.5" circle punch to add layers underneath. Then, I added the scenic circle die cut on top and I love that it looks like a reflection in the lens!

Summer Fun Camera Shaped Scrapbook Album Page with a palm tree, beach chair, flip flops, cute fish, and a journaling card that says 'MEMORIES'

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 3 interactive flippies, and space for 30 summer photos.

It's titled "It's A Boy" and the simple, step-by-step instructions for it are now in my shop. If you're looking for a gift idea, or ... a darling keepsake for your own baby photos, Jodi's album is a must-see!

Acrylic Peek-A-Boo Stars Mini Album with star shaped cut-outs, white card stock pages, and binding rings

For the album, Jodi used my 6x6 inch Acrylic Peek-a-Boo Stars Album. It's made with a soft blue acrylic and has star shaped cutouts on the front cover. She said ... "I just love that it has little peek-a-boo spots for embellishments or pictures of the new baby. What a great way to highlight their first photo."

It's A Boy Baby Acrylic Scrapbook Album with star cutouts, pastel colors, clouds, footprints, baby toys, ribbon, and a decorative border.

Enamel sprinkles are one of my favorite embellishments and Jodi added lots of cute clouds and stars to the front. Love them! Then, she layered strips of fun pattern papers along the bottom. 

It's a Boy Scrapbook Album page featuring a photo of a baby, footprints, an 'It's a boy!' card, stars, clouds, hand stitching, and a cute gingham background.

Inside the cover on the first page, she added a colorful gingham print, a yellow rick rack border sticker, and little paper grommets to the binding holes. Then, she chose some die cuts, cut two star shapes out of the petite prints, and sewed around them with embroidery floss. So cute!

Here's a close-up. Jodi said ... "I added hand stitching for texture and to give that handmade feel." I 💛 that.

It's a Boy Scrapbook Album page with a wooden dresser, cute die cuts of baby clothes, shoes, and toys and a colorful polka dot background.

Look at this page. How clever is this? She created a really cute dresser using 6x8 petite prints - linen and gingham and woodgrain in bon bon. She added enamel dots for the knobs, then tucked a bunch of adorable die cuts into the drawers!

She said ... "The dresser was created with rectangles and layers. I just thought it was a fun and easy way to create an embellishment for the album."

It's a Boy Scrapbook Album page with a baby, bottle, pacifier, 2 photo mats, monthly stickers, and a yellow and white polka dot background

Here's a sweet page for photos of baby's meal time. Jodi layered two prints and added more hand stitching along the top and bottom. She used yellow card stock and a 2" scallop circle punch to create a mat behind the "Lunch time" die cut from the Chit Chat. Perfect!

It's a Boy Scrapbook Album page with a cute baby sleeping on a cloud, a smiling moon, stars, and hand stitching

Ohhhh, what a cute layout this is. Jodi used the petite print buffalo check in grey for the background, then added swimming pool cardstock and the cute Nighty Night cloud print. She embellished with die cuts from the Odds & Ends and added more hand stitching around the cloud. Finally, she made 2 photo mats and included the "love you to the moon ...

Cat Heart Shaped Acrylic Scrapbook Album

Hi scrappers! Who's ready for some kitty cat cuteness?! It's time for my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this week, I made a heart shaped mini album that's purrrrrfect for your favorite feline's photos. It's titled You Had Me At Meow, and ... I've just added the simple, step-by-step instructions for it to my shop! 🩷

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed it with the Bella Blvd, Meow Collection and it's absolutely ahhh-dorable! The kitties are sporting fun little accessories like bows, flowers, bandanas, scarves, and glasses. And there are cat toys, treats, paw prints, and so many cute patterns!

For the album, I used my clear Acrylic Heart Shaped AlbumIt has 6 acrylic pages that are approx. 6 3/4" x 5 1/2", 1 binding ring, and endless possibilities!   

NEW! I have included an SVG download file in the Acrylic Heart Album listing. If you have an electronic cutting machine (Cricut, Silhouette, etc.), then you can use this SVG file to cut out the pattern paper that fits as an inset on each of the acrylic pages. The download will be sent via email. If you do not have a machine that cuts SVG files, no worries! You can simply use the template that is provided with the album to trace and cut out your pattern paper. Easy peasy!

For the cover, I layered two hearts cut from the back and front of the 12x12 Smitten Kitten paper. I used a 3.5" scallop circle punch and a 3" circle punch to create the shape in the center, then added the super sweet Purrsnickety Bella-pops. I love that little orange cat with the blue bird on its head, lol! 

I wanted to zhush it up a little more, so I added a few epoxy dots and stars from the Sun Fun pack (Walking On Sunshine Collection), an epoxy heart from the Cat Lover stickers, a title from Words, and a bunch of cute die cuts from the Ephemera Icons (links below).

What a colorful page for your snuggling memories! I made the photo mat with the 12x12 Fur Ball paper and white card stock, then added some die cuts from the Ephemera Icons and Words. I chose a couple of epoxy hearts and added 3 epoxy dots to the corners of the pillow, and ... the page was complete!

This heart shaped scrapbook makes a perfect keepsake for memories of your sweet furbaby, their friends, the zoomies, making biscuits, their favorite toy, the crazy cat nip behavior, silly sleeping positions, and the intense stare with airplane ears. 

The background print on this page is titled Cat Life and it's filled with fun words like spoiled, lovable, feline, purrs, cat nip, etc. To create as big of a mat as I could, I clipped the corners of this one using a scalloped We R Memory Keepers corner chomper. That way, it doesn't hang off the edges of the layout. 

Are you cat obsessed? If so, you'll love this page. I used the colorful striped Borders print in the background and layered strips of the Fur Ball and That Face papers across the center. Next, I added the flower Doohickey border sticker, the pink 3D flower from the Wings of Sunshine Bella-pops, and lots of precious cats from the Icons. For the brown one, I cut and repositioned it's tail to hang out the bottom. Sorry kitty! 😂

Check out this handy little pocket page I made with the Cat Life and Smitten Kitten papers. I used the scalloped Doohickey sticker to visually separate the prints and tucked the edge of a curious upside-down cat just underneath. Inside the pocket, I added a photo mat, 2 tags from the Daily Details, and a cat toy die cut embellished with a tiny epoxy dot! 

Don't forget my clear Acrylic Display Stand! And ... if you're also a dog lover, be sure to check out my Smile Maker Dog Scrapbook I made a few weeks ago.

I hope my "You Had Me at Meow" Scrapbook, Acrylic Heart Album, and Bella Blvd's cute Meow Collection have inspired you to recreate this fun project. The simple, step-by-step instructions for it are in my shop!!

Below are the product links and have a wonderful day! 🐱🐾🩷
