NEW! Hometown USA July 4th Mini Album Kit

Hello and happy Friday everyone! Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, I thought it was a great time for a fun NEW patriotic mini album. So, I created this adorable scrapbook kit titled Hometown USA. It's in the shop now and perfect for your summer memories and holiday celebrations.

I created it with the Doodlebug Design, Hometown USA Collection. I love the small town America feeling with its fireworks, flags, balloons, bicycles, and cute storefronts. And ... it has silver foil accents! 

The acrylic album is a brand new design that I specifically made for this Doodlebug collection. The front cover has the USA letters, and the top of the back cover is shaped exactly like the fireworks die cuts. So ... they fit perfectly on the acrylic. I love that they look like they're exploding in the background!

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 3 flippies, and space for 25 photos. Above is one of those flippies, a photo mat, and a cute hot air balloon with metallic details. 

This album would be great filled with photos of fireworks, parades, neighborhood BBQs, an afternoon on the lake, boating, the beach, a local festival, and fun with family and friends. It also makes a perfect hostess gift. 

This pocket page is fun with its tiny polka dots, 2 scalloped borders, and lots of cute journaling cards.

Are you planning a weekend getaway? Great! This mini album is the perfect size for your holiday photos. It's not too big, not too small ... but just right. 😉

Not only is this scrapbook kit FUN to put together, but once you add your photos ... you'll have an amazing keepsake to display in your home year after year that's filled with your holiday memories.

Look how fabulous the album looks sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These are great for showing off your mini albums, greeting cards, and other small works of art.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. Hop over to my shop next to get my NEW Hometown USA Mini Album (Kit or Premade), and ... have a great weekend! 😊

12x12 Too Cute Scrapbook Page with Bella Blvd

Hi everyone! Today, I'm sharing this 12x12 Too Cute Scrapbook Page AND a step-by-step video tutorial that I made for Bella Blvd. The Design Team was challenged to create a project with the fabulous Meow Collection that was not related to cats. Ok ... challenge accepted! 😍

Aside from its adorable kitty cats, this collection has lots of pretty colors, geometric prints, and plenty of flowers, hearts, and cute little birds. So, it worked perfectly with my photos of Rylee's first birthday. 

To make it, I layered lots of whimsical 12x12 papers. I cut out an 8 inch heart shape for the center and added my photos on top. Then, I tucked some flower die cuts from the Ephemera Icons in behind the photos.

Towards the bottom, I added the "too cute" and the flower die cuts from the Ephemera Words. 

And on the other side, I dated the layout using the Luna Alphabet Puffy Stickers in plum. I also typed a simple birthday message on my computer, printed it, and added the strip under the photo.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you like this project and have fun creating something wonderfully unexpected with the Meow Collection. Below are the product links. Happy scrapping! 😊

Father's Day Lake Life Mini Album with Lori Whitlock

Hi friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's May Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

With Father's Day this weekend, it's a great time to make something special for dad. So today, I have a fun new mini album project for you! I've added the instructions for it (and 1 premade mini album) to my shop. I used one of Lori's amazing SVG files to create the perfect title for this lake themed album titled Happy Father's Day. 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Father's Day Lake Life Scrapbook Instructions

To start, I chose Lori's card cutting file called "5x7 Pop Up Card Father's Day Fishing" (SVG, Silhouette) and the Bella Blvd Lake Life Collection (links below). It was the perfect marriage!

I also used my Acrylic Clear 6x6 Square Album. I cut the words and images out, then created a colorful scene on the first page. With the clear cover, the fabulous title looks great and it's protected underneath. 

It's cute, right?! For the clouds, the fishing pole, the (red) fish, and the "Happy Father's Day" I used solid card stock and a few pattern papers from Bella Blvd. Then, I added a couple of die cuts to fill in the empty spots. 

Inside, I added 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, 2 flippies, and space for 20 photos.

This album would make a great keepsake for dad's memories of spending time on the lake, a rustic cabin, boating, cooking on the grill, fun with friends, catching fish, and telling tall tales! 

Above is one of the fold-out pages with the "together" card, a tackle box, and a heart. Open it up and ...

... there is a colorful plaid paper with 2 photo mats for pictures of dad's boat, his favorite fishing spot, and the catch of the day!

If you have your own lake photos and don't need a Father's Day gift, you can easily change out the title and make this mini album for YOU! Inside, it's wonderfully generic and all about the great outdoors and fun at the lake!  

Don't forget the finishing touch! My clear Acrylic Display Stand is a great way to show off this colorful mini album filled with favorite lake and fishing memories. 🐟🎣❤️
