Crafty Acrylic Jar Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album

Hello friends and Happy National Mason Jar Day! In 1858, John Mason invented and patented the glass jar and it's unique screw top to make canning safer and easier.​ 163 years later we're using these clever jars for all sorts of things like drinking glasses, vases, storage, candle holders, gift packaging and ... inspiration for fun little scrapbooks!

Today, I'm excited to share my new clear Acrylic Jar Shaped Mini Album AND the instructions for this cute scrapbook titled My Happy Place that are available in my shop.

 

The acrylic album has two 5x8 inch jar shaped covers that are cut from high quality, 1/8" clear acrylic. It includes 4 white cardstock pages, 2 page templates for cutting patterned paper, and 1 binding ring.

 

I designed it with the Doodlebug Design, Cute and Crafty Collection. Aren't the button and flower shape sprinkles adorable? I added them to both sides of the front acrylic cover so it's just as pretty on the inside! 

 

The title sticker (My Happy Place) is from the This and That sticker sheet. The white mat behind the title sticker is included with the acrylic album. So, if you buy more than one jar album and want to use different Doodlebug collections ANY This and That sticker in this shape will fit the white mat.

 

 

Now, for the inside ... This mini will hold 10 of your favorite crafty photos. But if you need more space, additional pages can be added by tracing the existing ones and cutting them out. Super simple.
 

 

This scrapbook is perfect for saving photos of crafting with friends (aka our happy place, lol), memories from a weekend crop, a retreat or an afternoon crafting with the littles. Did you attend the She Loves Color event? This would make such a great keepsake for those pics.

 

 

Check out the little row of hearts on this page. It's a die cut piece from the Chit Chat, then I added heart shaped sprinkles on top. I just love the shine!

 

 

I hope you'll give my acrylic album and instructions a try! The instructions come with ALL the measurements and a product list (also below) so anyone can recreate this.

Tis The Season Christmas Scrapbook Mini Album

Hello friends and happy Friday! Today, I have a super cute new album kit to share with you called Tis the Season. I made it with the adorable Doodlebug Design, Let it Snow collection and a custom acrylic album that I designed with pretty scallops going down the side. I love this one! 💗

 

To purchase the instructions to make this album visit:

Tis the Season Album Instructions

 

This album would be perfect for photos of friends and family, holiday parties, a visit with Santa, playing in the snow, a winter vacation, decorating the tree, making gingerbread, and Christmas Day!

 

 

On the front cover, I added an amazing snowglobe Shaker-pops. It has a sweet reindeer, a little red bird, and a Christmas tree inside with iridescent glitter. So pretty!

 

The clear acrylic album, is approx. 4.5" wide & 7.5" tall with scallops that run down one side of the front and the back covers. It's available in my shop and can be used with ANY paper collection to make your own custom scrapbook.

 

 

Inside, there are 12 pages (6 double sided) with lots of interactive elements. Check out the cute pink snow globe fold-out card in the pic above. Open it up and there are photo mats behind it and space to journal. The other side opens up to look like ...

... this! Perfect for pictures of building a snowman, ice skating, skiing, making snow angels or having a snowball fight. I love all the circle shapes!

 

There are fun little pull out tags that you can use for small photos or journaling. Add dates, locations, names, explain the event, or talk about the occasion.

 

There's even a little Yeti peeking out over the top of another fold-out card!

 

Going on a Christmas ski trip this year or visiting a beautiful winter wonderland? This album would be great for your vacation photos this holiday season.

 

 

Here's a close-up of the scallops on the back cover. I added cute papers to each of the semi circles that I cut out with a 1" circle punch. I love the little pops of color and pattern along the edge. 

What a FUN project and a great gift idea. Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

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

12x12 Thanksgiving Layout with Pumpkin Spice

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have so much to be thankful for between my family, my friends, my good health, my faith, my business and all of my amazing Artsy Albums friends. Thank you so much for your support. I am truly grateful for you.  I'm sure everyone is either in the kitchen or with friends and family so, I'll keep the post simple and quickly share my latest 12x12 layout for a little Thanksgiving Day inspiration.

 

I designed this with the adorable Doodlebug Design, Pumpkin Spice Collection. I can't wait to add some family photos to it after the holiday. 

I used the pretty aqua plaid print called Cup O'Jo for the base and a strip of Forest of Friends at the bottom. Then hid the seam with a yellow border sticker from the This and That.

 

 

The Thanksgiving title is by Jillibean Soup and you can find it in the Silhouette Design Store with the link below. I layered each letter with a different 6x6 pattern paper and one with the Bumblebee woodgrain. I love the 2 mats - those tiny pumpkin pie slices are so cute!!

 

 

Next, I added lots of cute embellishments. The word bubble is from the Chit Chat, die cuts from the Odds and Ends, the precious scarecrow is the Hay There Doodle-pops, and my favorite ... the shaped sprinkles called Fall Friends (product links below).

 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and that it's filled with the warmth and happiness of the season. 🧡
