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!

Our Class Trip Scrapbook Album for photos of a school field trip

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.

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

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!

Retro Cassette Shaped Mini Album with Bella Blvd

Hey crafty girls! It's time for another fun Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this week, I created a mini album in the shape of a cute retro cassette tape. It's titled 4Ever and would be great for photos of loved ones, a special relationship, or Valentine's Day. If you grew up in the 80's (like me!) ... you're going to love this one. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Mini Album shaped like a cassette tape

I designed it with the Bella Blvd, Our Love Song Collection that features vintage guitars, record players, albums, flowers, hearts, musical notes, roller skates, boom boxes, and those fun 1980's geometric patterns. This is so nostalgic!

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Mini Album with a retro 1980's theme

For the album's shape, I found the perfect Bella Blvd cutting file. It's a cassette tape from a set called Our Love Song Collection 3. I cut the album covers out of black acrylic but you could use card stock instead.  

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album with a 1980's theme

On the cover, I used the pink pattern called Skip a Beat, then added a mix of Bella Besties prints, black and white card stock, and fun embellishments. The 4EVER is a die cut from the ephemera words and the musical notes and heart are from the Let's Rock Bella-pops, which you will also see ...

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with a boom box, musical notes, and bright colors

 ... here! 👆 How fun is this pink boom box embellishment?! I love the tiny epoxy details. In the background, I added the colorful Love Notes print, then added the 3x4 card from the Daily Details. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with colorful cassette tapes, geometric prints, a tag, and a flower

The album has 12 black cardstock pages that I layered with 12x12 pattern papers. Above, I used the Our Mix print in the backgroud and the Totally Rad paper for the photo mat. I added the tag and flower from the ephemera words and the "luv u" sticker from the doohickey sheet. The peace symbol is a puffy sticker. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with retro musical instruments, a rainbow, and colorful stripes

If you enjoy vibrant colors and fun patterns ... this collection is for you. Here, I mixed playful stripes with musical instruments and added the shiny rainbow Bella-pops (appropriately called Beautiful) at the top. I love how whimsical it all looks together!✨

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with a heart, polka dots, a circle mat, and bright colors

On this page, I added a 4" circle that can be used for photos or journaling. The heart and the "hello love" are die cuts from the ephemera icons and words, and the lightening bolts are from the puffy stickers. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with colorful flowers and hearts

Make this mini for yourself, or give it to someone as a Valentine's day gift. It would be so sweet filled with photos of your spouse, the littles or grandlittles, family, your parents, or best friends!

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with a retro cassette tape, musical instruments, and a folding card

This fabulous keepsake has 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, 1 flippie (seen above), and space for 16 photos. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album Page with geometric patterns, a rainbow, and hearts

I hope my 4Ever Scrapbook gives you a little inspiration. The Our Love Song Collection is bright, colorful, and super nostalgic. If you have fun memories from the 80's and 90's, or ... just love the retro feel of this mini, I hope you'll give it a try! 

Below are the links to the products used in this project. Have a wonderful day and happy scrapping! 😊🛼
