NEW! Home For The Holidays Christmas Scrapbook

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited to introduce today's new kit. It's a brand new style of mini album that I've never made before. You will actually get to build the entire thing, from covers to pages. It's simple, super creative, and so much FUN. I absolutely love it!! It's titled "Home for the Holidays" and it was inspired by a beautiful project we made at She Loves Color that was designed by Page Evans.

Home for The Holidays Christmas Winter Snowflake Scrapbook Album

I created this with Bella Blvd's awesome new North Pole Collection. It's filled with polar bears, snow globes, Santa Claus, reindeer, and lots of holiday icons. I even added 3 cute custom acrylic charms down the side!

The album is 4x6 inches and the cover is made of a pretty snowflake clear acetate. Just underneath is a red folding card that has a snow globe with a cute outdoor scene. Perfect for two of your favorite photos.

Inside there are 3 sections, or booklets that attach to the cover with elastic string. It also has ... 48 pages packed with colorful tabs, 2 fold-outs, lots of cute die cuts, 2 pockets, 3 interactive flippies, cards, tags, and ribbon poppin' out the top! Whew, that's a lot of goodies.

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I used one of my custom 8x8 Square Circle Window Albums in black and I designed it with Doodlebug's Monster Madness Collection and Shadow Box Insert Kit (product links below). Have you had a chance to use one of these Insert Kits yet? All the Doodlebug collections have them and they are SO much fun!!

The kit comes with a circle template, card stock, vellum and tons of colorful stickers. This one has pumpkins, candy, ghosts, worms, and such goofy monsters. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it and when you remove the template ... voila! Halloween cuteness!

Inside, there are rainbow colors and lots of fun die cuts to highlight your fun photos. I can just see pictures of the pumpkin patch, a school party, a parade, baking holiday cookies, the littles in their costumes, trick-or-treating, and all the candy they collected added to these pages.

There are 12 pages in this album that include 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, space for 24 photos, and 2 adorable flippies like the one above. Who could ever be superstitious about this black kitty? Look at her sweet face!

This one is filled with journaling cards so you can list your fun activities, spooky stories you told, books you read, movies you watched, and goodies you made. You can also add tickets, greeting cards, or extra photos to it.

Above is one of two fold-out pages. The right side with the circles opens up to display 3 photo mats and some lively little monsters. The orange one with 4 arms and crooked smile cracks me up.

Trick or Treat Halloween Album and Layouts

Guess what! Yesterday, I found 2 retired kits that were never put on my blog. I have no idea why, but ... they're too cute not to share! AND I've listed the instructions for them in my shop so you can recreate them! Both are titled Trick or Treat and made with Doodlebug's Booville Collection. One is an album kit and the other is a 12x12 six page layout kit. Take a look ...

Halloween Booville Scrapbook Album for trick or treaters
 
To purchase the instructions to make this album visit:

For the scrapbook, I decorated the cover using die cuts from the Odds and Ends, the 12x12 paper called Pick-A-Pumpkin, and for the green slime ... a Martha Stewart punch called Drippy Goo. Such a good punch!

I also used cards and envelopes throughout the entire album. They're from the Halloween assortment and they make awesome flippies and creative places to store photos and memorabilia. I decorated the card above with a rainbow Halloween die cut and a cute little kitty sticker.

Here are 2 flippies that would be perfect for photos of your littles all dressed up on Halloween night. 

Halloween Booville Scrapbook Album Page with pocket and journaling cards

There are 6 pocket pages in this mini. Yeah, six! I included journaling cards/photo mats in each one. Above, I gave one of them a scalloped circle tab that I made using a 1.5" scalloped circle punch and a 1.25" circle punch. The orange card was part of the cards and envelope assortment and I simply embellished it.

I love the purple haunted house flippie and the die cuts used to decorate this fun page. Notice the clear acetate spider web in the background? Those are so awesome and part of the Odds and Ends as well.

There are 2 folding pages in the album with all kinds of goodies tucked in behind them. There are more spider webs, a pretty shaped flippie, and a spider hanging from twine.

My instructions include color photos of every single page and honestly, each page is better than the next. Really. There are so many creative scrapbooking ideas in this album that could be replicated with ANY collection. 

Next up ... 6 Trick or Treat 12x12 Layouts!

Halloween Booville Scrapbook Pages for holiday photos
 
To purchase the instructions to make this album visit:

If you're a scrapper that loves a more traditional sized 12x12 album ... I have something for you too! These layouts use Doodlebug's Booville Collection also and would be such a great addition to any album.

This little row of houses is adorable! Look closely ... they have googly eyes peeking out the windows, ghosts & spiders hangin' around, and smiling pumpkins on the front porches. Doodlebug's details are crazy good.

Halloween Booville Scrapbook Page with ghosts and haunted house

I used lots of die cuts from the Odds and Ends, stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet and the 12x12 prints on these pages. I love the ghost print above called Fa-boo-lous.

Halloween Booville Scrapbook Page with children dressed in costumes

These layouts would be amazing filled with photos of Halloween night, trick-or-treating, a party, pumpkin patch, school costume parade, or pictures from a haunted house. And check out the scalloped border sticker along the bottom with the rainbow colored dots!

The instructions for these 6 pages are simple, step-by-step, and also include color photos of each page. Since both of these kits were created and retired prior to last year, they do not include the measurements. However, they are filled with great ideas and are easy to replicate.
