NEW! 12x12 Sweet Baby Boy and Girl Scrapbook Layout Kits

Hello friends! I have TWO adorable 12x12 layout kits in the shop titled Sweet Baby Boy and Sweet Baby Girl. They're filled with teddy bears, flowers, trains, baby clothes, pacifiers, toys, and more! They'll make a great addition to any album and they're perfect for pictures of your precious little bundle of joy. 🩵🍼🩷

Let's start with the Sweet Baby Boy ... 

I designed these EIGHT wonderful scrapbook pages (4 coordinating layouts) with the Carta Bella, Little Lullabies Baby Boy Collection. They include 4 flippies, 1 pocket, and space for 37 photos.

They have soft colors of blues, greens, and browns and lots of precious baby inspired images. They will highlight your little boy's moments of cuddling, naps, bubble baths, play time, new foods, favorite toys, their nursery, and monthly photos!

Included in the kit are 12 monthly cards that you can use on your pages as shown. But ... you can also leave them off if you prefer and add photos of ANY age.

Here is the handy dandy pocket. I tucked some cute journaling cards / photo mats inside, but you could also add small memorabilia like footprints or hospital bracelets.

Above is one of the cute flippies. The instructions in my 12x12 page kit projects will explain exactly how to add these flippies and fun pockets to your pages.

Ok, time for the flower filled girly layouts ...

I designed these EIGHT pretty pages with the Carta Bella, Little Lullabies Baby Girl Collection. The colors are super feminine with shades of pink, greens, and yellows.

Just like the little boy version, they include 4 flippies, 1 pocket, and space for 37 photos. These scrapbook layouts are so much FUN to create and make an amazing addition to any album.

How cute is this flippie? I love the scalloped oval design with the pretty carousel in the middle. What a perfect space for two photos.

Here's the girl's pocket where you can save sonogram pictures, a copy of the birth certificate, a lock of hair, a baby shower invitation or birth announcement, or the small cards that come with flowers! 

Both of my fun and creative kits will help you get your adorable baby photos off your phone and into a scrapbook so they can be enjoyed for years to come.

My 12x12 Sweet Baby Boy and Sweet Baby Girl 8-Page Layout Kits are in my shop now! Quantities are limited so don't delay! 😊

Spring Wallet Shaped Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my next Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I made the prettiest wallet shaped mini album filled with fun little flaps, fold-outs, pockets, and loads of Doodlebug cuteness! It's perfect for pictures of spring, family, and friends, AND ... it would make a wonderful gift idea!

I used the super cute Butterfly Kisses Collection and a Lori Whitlock cutting file called Wallet Mini Album (link below). I used lily white card stock for the base and covered the different sections in pretty pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad.

On the cover, I added the rainbow stripe and flower paper. Then, I layered a 3" white scalloped circle, a 2.5" polka dot circle, and the adorable Ladybug Garden Doodle-pops. Isn't that little pink ladybug precious? 🩷 The title is from the Color-fetti print, and I glued some flat magnets underneath to secure the flap.

Here's what the wallet looks like opened up. It's unfolds into 3 sections. On the top section, I added the "Love You" die cut from the Chit Chat and 2 beautiful butterflies from the Odds & Ends. Then, a few enamel hearts from the Hearts A-Flutter shape sprinkles! 💕

The center section has two tri-folds that open to the left and the right. I covered both in the bubblegum floral paper called Butterfly Kisses, then added a white mat on top. I decorated with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and a few enamel butterfly and heart shape sprinkles. 

When you open those, each one has 6 little sections (3 on the front and 3 on the back). I covered them in pretty patterns and added some sweet 3x4 cards. Isn't that flower cart adorable?!

In the center, there's a 4x6 inch section where I added the "Love this" journaling card. It's a perfect spot to document notes, a cute story, dates, an event, etc.

On the right, the "bugs and kisses" card is from the 6x8 paper pad. Love it, the pretty flowers, and this cute collection so much! 

The bottom section has 2 little pockets that I tucked some adorable Odds & Ends die cut pieces into. You could add journaling notes to the back side of these, or ... use the pockets for small photos or memorabilia. 

Whether you make this scrapbook for yourself or create it for someone else as a gift, don't forget my clear Acrylic Display Stand. They show off your mini albums, greeting cards, and other small projects beautifully!

I love how this project turned out with the Butterfly Kisses Collection. I've also created other versions of this wallet shaped mini with the Berry Sweet Collection, the Hey Pumpkin Collection, and the Land That I Love Collection. Be sure to check those out for more fun ideas!

I hope today's project inspires you. Below are the links for the products used. Have a wonderful day! 😊

NEW! Farm and Summer Page Layout Kits

Hello friends! Who's ready to see this week's TWO new scrapbooking kits that will be in my shop tomorrow? Both of them are 12x12 page layouts perfect for your farm and summer themed photos. I used two very different paper collections and they're filled with lots of fun details. Take a look!

First up, is my On The Farm Layouts ...

I designed these with the Carta Bella, On The Farm Collection with its pretty flowers, farm animals, barns, tractors, plaid patterns, stripes, and more muted earthy color palette.

There are 6 scrapbook pages (3 coordinating layouts) that include 1 flippie, 1 handy dandy pocket, journaling cards, and space for 27 photos. 

Whether you live on a farm now, grew up on a farm, decorate your home in a farmhouse style, or just love the farm theme ... this is the place for your pictures and everyday memories.

Add fun moments from your time on the farm, the animals, a farmers market, horseback riding, a farm themed birthday party, baby pictures, a cute themed nursery, a visit to a petting zoo, or a school field trip!

 

Time for kit #2! These 12x12 layouts are titled Summer Sunshine and they're filled with bright colors and sunny warm-weather vibes! 🌞

I designed them with the colorful Echo Park, Sun Kissed Collection that has cute swimwear, inner tubes, umbrellas, beach balls, fruit, picnic accessories, stripes, and the perfect red and white plaid.

It has 6 scrapbook pages (3 coordinating layouts) that include 2 fun flippies and space for 26 photos of the pool, the beach, friends, family, and picnics in the park!

You can add pictures of a trip to the islands, a cruise, backyard games, neighborhood get-togethers, weekend BBQs, the kids (or grandkids) at summer camp, and fun everyday moments. 

What about a water park, swimming, cooling off with colorful Popsicles, ice cream cones by the pool, the littles playing outside, or a cute lemonade stand. Ooooo, I love those summer feelings!

If you prefer a picnic in the park, that's great too! Bring a basket of sandwiches, throw a frisbee, play some volleyball, and enjoy a walk through nature. Just remember to take some photos!

These 2 kits make a perfect project to bring on a weekend crop with friends. Everything's in one bag and includes 12x12 base cardstock, pre-cut pattern paper, journaling and title cards, and stickers. Plus, we've packaged it by page so it's super simple to assemble and comes with the step-by-step instructions. All you need are your photos, adhesives, scissors or paper trimmer, craft knife, and a bone folder. Yay! 

My NEW 12x12 On the Farm Layout Kit and 12x12 Summer Sunshine Layout Kit will be available in the shop tomorrow (Friday), so ... set a reminder and I'll see you then! 😉

Scrapbooking Memories Circle Shaped Mini Album

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing a fun new project and challenge. Conny from @thedailylifeofcreativity and I teamed up in the Bella Besties Facebook group to share a colorful mood board, and ... we'd love for YOU to share a new project that was inspired by it. You can create a mini album, scrapbook page, card, home decor, etc. All we ask is that you use mostly Bella Blvd products and that it ⁠"feels" like the mood board's colors, images, patterns, etc.
⁠
To participate in the challenge, simply share your project on our post in the Bella Besties Facebook Group.⁠ Original entries only and not to be combined with other challenges.⁠ This challenge is open through May 15th. Winners will be chosen the next day (May 16th).

Here is our mood board ...

And here is the mini album that it inspired me to create ... 

This cute circle mini album titled Scrapbooking Memories is perfect for photos of scrapping with friends, a weekend retreat, classes, a crop, an expo, a craft festival, or being creative with your kids / grandkids.

The round 7.25" album has white acrylic covers, which could also be made out of card stock. The bright colors, the circular shape, and the cover's design were inspired by that cute rainbow umbrella and other photos in the mood board. I chose a playful mix of Bella Besties patterns for the pie shaped pieces. Then, I embellished with some Ephemera Icons and Words from the Let's Scrapbook Collection (links below).

Inside, I added 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include 1 pocket, 1 flippie, and space for lots of fun crafting photos. On this layout, I used a die cut and created a flippie out of one of the 3x4 cards.

I covered the pages with 12x12 Let's Scrapbook papers. For the round shape, you could use a cutting machine or a circular cutter (links below). Isn't this page fun? I love the whimsical mix of pattern sizes, flowers, polka dots, and colors. 

You could also use this album for pictures of your scrapbook room, the creative ways you've organized your supplies, or the amazing keepsakes you've made. Do you have an impressive album collection? Or, genius ways to displayed them? Take photos and be proud! 💕

I always add pockets to my mini albums ... even if it's just one. They're so useful and perfect for storing extra photos, journaling cards, or small memorabilia like tickets, notes, or receipts.

This album is so cute and colorful sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. Wouldn't it be fabulous displayed in your crafting room? It's also great for those fun shapes that don't always want to stand up on their own.

To see some other circle shaped acrylic mini albums I've made, visit Happy Together Rainbow Album, Snowflake Circle Album, Let It Snow Album, and You Make Me Happy Album.

Don't forget to participate in this mood board challenge by sharing your new project on our post in the Bella Besties Facebook Group.⁠ Can't wait to see what you make! 😊
