Christmas Recipes Scrapbook Mini Album

Hi scrappers! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. I'm always looking for fun, unique gift ideas at Christmas and I love to give handmade items. So, here's a cute idea for passing on family recipes that are traditional favorites around the holidays.

 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Christmas Recipes Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this sweet little book with a chipboard album from Prima, paper and embellishments from the adorable Christmas Town Collection, twine in Bon Bon, and Doodlebug's Hopscotch Alphabet Stickers.

I used white cardstock to create pockets in the album, perfect for tucking in some cute recipe cards and those adorable jellyclips!

When I fill out the recipe cards, I plan to handwrite them with colorful gel pens in lots of Doodlebug colors!

I found some border stickers from a past Doodlebug collection (Milk & Cookies) that looked cute across the top of the pockets.  I love that Doodlebug collections coordinate from year to year since everything always matches!

Do you give handmade gifts for the holidays?  We'd love to hear about your projects, and hopefully I've inspired you with a unique gift idea today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Update: This kit has sold out but the instructions are available in my shop. They are simple, step-by-step, and include full color photos of each page. Links for the instructions and the products used are below. Happy scrappin'!

Treat Bags - November Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hey guys! Today is Lori Whitlock's October Blog Hop and my site is the first stop on the hop. So, if you're starting here be sure hop back to Lori's site for more great ideas.

 
For my project, I created some cute fall treat bags. These would be great for teachers, kids who visit for Thanksgiving, or just to remind someone special how thankful you are for them!

 

 

I plan to fill them with candy and a gift card for a pumpkin spice latte. Yum! You could also add small toys, stickers, cute jewelry, or money.

I used a few patterned papers from the Celebrate Autumn collection that Lori designed for Echo Park and some solids. Below are the cutting file & product links. Have fun!

Simple Vintage Christmas Mini Album

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Simple Stories Design Team Project. I wanted to create a gift idea for the holiday season and what hostess of a Christmas celebration wouldn't love to receive a beautiful handmade mini album? It could be used to save the memories and photos from that special event.

Family and friends would also love one! All you need is a 4x6 Snap album, some Simple Vintage Christmas paper and embellishments, and some cream card stock.

I used cardstock to add six 4.25" x 7" scrapbook pages in between the plastic photo sleeves. I didn't add photos to this album since this will be a gift and the recipient will add their own pictures.

I used pattern paper from the 6x8 paper pad and lots of cards from the Simple Vintage Sn@p Card set.  

On the cover of the album, and on the page above, I included chipboard frames from the layered frame set. I LOVE these! The one for the cover was cut down so that I could just use the lower left corner of the frame ... I love the dimension the chipboard added to the cover. For the frame above, I added pattern paper to the back of the frame and punched holes for the binder.

The die cuts shown above are from the Bits & Pieces pack, and the stickers throughout the album are from the 12x12 Combo sheet, chipboard, and 4x6 sticker set. 

I hope I've inspired you to create a handmade gift this year! Below are the links for the products used. Happy scrappin'!

Christmas Town House Shaped Scrapbook Album

Hello everyone, Doodlebug's Christmas Town Collection is in the house! Or in this case ... was turned into a house! 😂 I'm so excited to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week I made a really fun house shaped mini album filled with Christmas cuteness. Take a look ...

For the scrapbook's covers, I used heavy white chipboard and cut the front into a rectangle and the back into a house shape. There are lots of adorable houses and storefronts in the Christmas Town Collection, so this shape was calling my name. I had fun creating the little scene on the cover with Santa, his reindeer, presents, and some petite prints. 

Inside, I added 16 scrapbook pages (8 double-sided) that include 2 pockets, 2 fold-out pages, 6 flippies, an envelope, and space for 35 photos. I used white card stock for the pages and layered them with 12x12 and 6x6 pattern papers.

Check out the two reindeer above. They're from the Odds & Ends and I love that they're facing each other across the pages. So cute! I also added 2 photo mats and the Fancy Frills snowflake border sticker from the Sugarplum Collection (links below).

I love how the collection has Odds & Ends and Chit Chat die cuts for lots of Christmas traditions like ... decorating the tree, baking cookies, visiting Santa, building snowmen, wrapping presents, and more!

This cute pocket is filled with journaling cards and photo mats but you could also add memorabilia. Add holiday recipes, a note to Santa, Christmas lists, a program from a church or school event, or tickets to a show.

Can you even stand how adorable this collection is? I mean, Mrs. Claus is wearing little red earrings. Ha!

 

Above, I added a red envelope to the inside flap of a fold out page. I tucked a cute Santa die cut inside so you could journal on the back. Then, I embellished with some colorful presents.

And, that's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by the blog. Hop over to my shop next to see my latest mini album kits, premade albums, instructions, supplies, enamel pins, and crafty shirts! 😊
