Fan-tastic Birthday Card with Lori Whitlock Designs

Hi everyone! Despite my love for mini albums, I do have fun with cards too, especially when I come across a card design as cute as this one!

Isn't this fun?!  The top of the box lays flat, and then when you pull the drawer open, the top lifts up. Lori has lots of Pop Up Drawer designs in her shop. Here is a shot of the back ... 

I tucked in a gift card and my present is all set ... super cute and fun to make! The paper, also designed by Lori for Echo Park, is called Wish Upon A Star.

Sweet Summer Fun Scrapbook Album

Hey guys! Summer is almost here in Georgia and I couldn't be more ready! Don't get me wrong, spring is a beautiful time of year but it's the pollen. I'm ready for some sunshine without the sneezing! This is why my newest mini album titled Sweet Summer Fun makes me so happy. Summer fun ... here I come!

Sweet Summer Fun Scrapbook Album by Artsy Albums

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:
 
I designed this with a 6x8 inch yellow Simple Stories binder and the Doodlebug Design, Sweet Summer Collection. I added lots of die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat to the cover. Don't they look adorable paired with chunky the twine and sprinkles? Love! (Product links below.)

Another thing I love about this new collection? Well, I grew up in the 80's ... big hair, big shoulder pads, and a boombox on the beach with a collection of mix tapes. Need I say more?

There are such pretty colored papers and I'm definitely stocking up on that gorgeous plaid! I just love it.

How cute are those smiley-faced fruit? I love how Doodlebug puts a smiley face on everything. The sunshine paper above called Catching a Wave and fruit print is called Fruit Cocktail. Lots of summer vibes!

I like to add lined journaling spots throughout my albums. This paper comes in the Simple Stories binder that I used and looks so cute covered in colorful drinks and hearts!

Dog Gone Cute Pet Scrapbook Mini Album

Hey guys! Check out my adorable new pet themed scrapbook album titled Dog Gone Cute 2. It's sweet and colorful and would make a wonderful keepsake for your fur baby's memories. Or ... you can give it to a special pet parent as an amazing gift idea!

So Dog Gone Cute Scrapbook Album with colorful ribbons, hearts, dogs, and a doghouse

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed this with two 6x6 inch white chipboard covers and filled it with paper and embellishments from the adorable Doodlebug Design, Puppy Love Collection.

It has 16 scrapbook pages (8 double-sided) that include folding pages and pockets to allow for more space. The album has space for at least 32 photos.

I always create my albums so that photos can easily tuck under embellishments, like the cute tennis ball above. I only use acid-free, photo-safe supplies so my minis will last a super long time.

I love the title on the cover - So Dog Gone Cute.  Some of the other pages say So Happy Together, I Love You, and You Make Me Smile. Perfect words for your sweet pup!

Lightbulb Cards - May Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock


Hi crafty friends! Welcome to Lori Whitlock's May Blog Hop! My blog is the first stop on the hop, so be sure to hop back over to Lori's site too for more great ideas! 
 
For my project today, I created a cute card for Father's day. I used one of Lori's cutting files called A2 Card Dad Lightbulb but she also has one for mom called A2 Card Mom Lightbulb (links below).

This was fun to make and it can be used for Father's Day (Mother's Day) but also for a birthday, thinking of you or ... just to let them know how special they are. They will love that you made it and be super impressed!
