12x12 Butterfly Kisses Scrapbook Page Layout

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a recent double page layout that I made using Butterfly Kisses.  When this collection was introduced, I said what I always say ... this might be my favorite Doodlebug collection ever! LOL!  I just love it!  I'm a huge fan of flowers and butterflies, and the colors in this line are beautiful!  Pistachio and Bubblebum?  Yes please!!

I added a little bit of Bunny Hop to this spring inspired page too (the May Flowers sheet) but that gorgeous stripe, called Happy Thoughts, is Butterfly Kisses and so are all of those adorable Odds & Ends die cut pieces and that bold border across the top (Rainbows End). 

For the first page, I wanted to use the die cuts to create a pretty scene below my pictures.  I used pop dots to make each of the flower and bird pieces pop off the page.

For the companion page, I carried the stripe across the bottom of the page, and added two more photo mats at the top.  The design is simple, but it keeps the focus on the photos and another adorable scene at the bottom.

How fun is that little door?!  It's on the cut apart card sheet called Garden Gingham.  And the adorable window is in the odds and ends pack.  The little bicycle looks like it's parked right out front, ready for a beautiful ride on a spring day.  Yes little frog, you can come too!

I turned the LOVE card into a little flippie so that I could get two more pictures on my page.  I just love how these two pages turned out!  I hope they inspire you to create something wonderful with Butterfly Kisses today! Until next time, happy crafting my friends!

NEW! Americana Summer Scrapbook Album Kit

Hello again friends! I'm back to share the second new scrapbook kit for the week! Yesterday, I introduced the first one titled Memories Together and today, I have a pretty mini called Americana Summer. This one uses the brand new 6.5" x 7" Sn@p Simple Chipboard Binder by Simple Stories. It has a white grid cover and ten 4x6" page protectors. I paired it with Carta Bella's gorgeous new Americana Summer Collection and I can't wait for you to see it! 😍

I love the red, white, and blue colors in this album, but don't just think 4th of July! Although it's perfect for Independence Day, this album can be used for any summer memories including BBQs, trips to a farm, a picnic, a nautical vacation, home with family and friends, and everyday! Plus, you're sure to have photos this summer since the United States will be celebrating its Semiquincentennial - the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Inside, are the 10 plastic page protectors I mentioned above. However, I also wanted some larger, more substantial pages in the book as well. So, I added 8 cardstock pages that include 2 fold-outs, 2 pockets, 4 interactive flippies, and lots of space for at least 35 photos!

Isn't the deep navy pretty with the red and lighter shades of blue?  The flowers are also beautiful and the sticker icons are perfect for this Americana summer theme.

Set your alarm for Friday morning so that you don't miss out on the two latest scrapbook album kits! They're both so unique and different that I have a feeling they will sell quickly! Have a wonderful week and happy crafting. 😊

Memories Together Scrapbook Album Kit with Bella Blvd

Happy Tuesday friends! I'm excited to be sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project today. I love this one so much, I decided to offer it as one of two new kits that will be available in my shop this Friday. I'll feature the second one here on the blog tomorrow, so be sure to stop by again to check that one out!

For this adorable mini album, I used the colorful Bella Blvd Documented Collection and a brand new Artsy Albums acrylic album! Well, kind of new ... my Acrylic Scallop Edge Album is super popular in the clear version, so ... this time, I created it in white! Look how fun the scallop edge looks with those colorful circles down the side!

This scrapbook album kit comes with pre-cut pattern paper and cardstock, ephemera icon die cuts, ribbon, and the acrylic cover. It has 12 layered card stock pages that include 2 fold out pages, 1 pocket, 3 flippies, and space for at least 24 photos.

The colors are bright, happy, and perfect for complimenting your everyday moments with friends or family, summer, spring, a celebration, a vacation, college life, outdoor adventures, and really anything!

And I've added lots of places to journal like the cute die cut above. It's from the Ephemera and makes a perfect spot for adding dates, names, locations, events, or a few notes!

You'll need a 1" circle punch for this project. It's for those fun circles going down the scallops on the side of the album.  It truly does make this mini unique, colorful, and one that you'll want to display for all to see.

Bella Blvd's Documented Collection is amazing! It's versatile and has a beautiful combination of colorful patterns, tone-on-tone solids, and adorable embellishments. This makes it a collection I go to time and time again.

The scrapbook album kit is packed with interactive pages, pockets, my signature flippies, and perfect icons and patterns for all the summer vibes!  Don't you love the groovy little van?  It reminds me of a retro 1960's VW "beach bus".  I want one!  And I want the pink, and the flowers, and all the things painted on the sides!  Yes please!

Let's take a peek inside!

Adventure Awaits Travel Acrylic Scrapbook Album

Hi friends! Happy Saturday!!  I'm back with another new project for this week. I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this one is super fun! I was challenged to use the fabulous Time to Travel Collection (LOVE! ❤️) BUT ... I could only focus on three colors! Yay! This girl loves a good challenge, so I pulled out all of my Time to Travel products and decided on blue, aqua, and yellow ... or in Bella's world, blueberry, gulf, and bell pepper!

Adventure Awaits Scrapbook Album with a clear acrylic cover, waterfall style pages, and lots of great travel icons

From the minute this collection was introduced, I fell in love! I love a good travel line and this one is totally in my wheel house -- fabulous colors, fun icons, amazing ephemera ... yes please! I wanted to showcase the patterns (but remember, I could only use three colors πŸ˜³), so ... I used my clear Acrylic Waterfall Album

Here's the album! It's 8x6 inches and consists of 2 high quality 1/8" clear acrylic covers, 3 binding rings, and 8 white layered cardstock pages that cascade or "waterfall". Perfect for displaying those colorful prints!

I layered each of the pages with a patterns from the collection ... focusing my choices on the prints that were more blueberry, gulf, or bell pepper-ish (if you know, you know, lol). On the page above, I covered the white card stock with the In The Clouds print and I could not love this more. Do you see those tiny stars and dot clusters? And that teeny pop of red? Shhh, I wasn't suppose to add another color. πŸ˜‰

If you're familiar with my mini albums, you know I add pockets and flippies to every single one. So, here's a cute pocket covered in the adorable Love This Place print. I added some Ephemera Icons on the front and tucked a few photo mats inside.

Finally, I snuck in a pattern that was a little more colorful but I think it totally works with this challenge. Those adorable little icons from the On The Go sheet are too cute! It might be my favorite sheet in the pack. I added some Ephemera Word and Icon pieces, and now I think my travel memories are ready for documenting!

I hope this project has given you a few fun ideas for saving your own travel memories with the Bella Blvd, Time to Travel Collection. Happy crafting! 😊

Happy Friday friends! Hopefully, you saw my NEW winter 12x12 Snow Fun Layout Kit that I shared on Wednesday. Today, I'm introducing another kit for this week! That's right ... TWO new 12x12 page kits are now in the shop and this second one is titled Spring Memories. I could not be more in love with the colors, patterns, and flowers in this one. Check it out ...

12x12 Spring Memories Scrapbook Layouts with flowers, rainbows, butterflies, and bees

So pretty right? For this 6-page kit I used a combination of Doodlebug Design's Butterfly Kisses and Bunny Hop Collections. I stuck to a spring theme instead of Easter for this and chose papers from both collections. The Odds & Ends are from Butterfly Kisses.

12x12 Spring Memories Scrapbook Layout with flowers, birds, a birdhouse, and polka dots

The die cut pieces in the Butterfly Kisses Collection are so pretty! Birds, flowers, bees, and so many sweet smiling faces. These pages are perfect for photos of spring, sunny days, a beautiful garden, fun with family or friends, and everyday memories!

12x12 Spring Memories Scrapbook Layout with a pocket, tags, flowers, colorful polka dots, and rainbow stripes

On this page, I added a cute little pocket. Perfect for holding some tags for extra photos or journaling!

And it wouldn't be an Artsy Albums kit without a flippie! So this pretty little card lifts up to reveal space for two photos.

Ooooo! Stripes and flowers! Yes please! These 6 pages have space for 25 photos and several journaling spots so you can document those warmer weather memories.

Sunny Spring Acrylic Tabbed Scrapbook Mini Album

Hello friends! Happy spring! Despite the pollen, I'm loving everything about the change in seasons and the beautiful flowers are my favorite part! That may be why I was inspired to add lots of pretty flowers to the cover of my latest acrylic mini.  

Sunny Spring Acrylic Tabbed Scrapbook Mini Album with flowers, polka dots, and a sun

To make this, I used the beautiful Doodlebug Design Bunny Hop Collection (links below) and my 4.5 x 7.5 inch Acrylic Tabbed Album. The covers and the pages are clear, so it's perfect for layering pretty pattern papers and embellishments. On the cover, I added some floral die cuts from the Bits and Pieces and topped them with the Hello Spring shape sprinkles. Look at the shine in the photo below!

I love the Hello Sunshine Doodle-pops, so it deserved a spot front and center on the cover. Doesn't that little smiling face just make you happy?

The photo above allows you to see all of the pretty papers on the clear pages. The photo below shows how I layered the bubblegum pink side of the May Flowers sheet with the adorable dot print called Spot of Spring. A few Odds & Ends die cuts finish up the page and look so sweet next to the colorful photo mat.

My favorite paper in this collection is the May Flowers print, so I cut a larger piece for the next page and layered another Spot of Spring photo mat on top. The "family" tab This & That sticker adds a pop of bright bubblegum pink to the page, and I just love the basket of flowers. I want to find one just like it for my house!

I included a sheet of Lily white wood grain petite prints on the next page so that I would have a neutral base for more flowers and the adorable journaling card. I made the card a flippie so it actually lifts up to reveal 2 photo mats underneath. That cute sunshine is an icon sticker!

To take advantage of the clear pages, I only added photo mats to the next page.  The same size photo mats are on the back of this page so that you can see the prints on the last page showing through. Each of the tabs also has a sticker from the This and That sheet to add fun color across the top of the album.

Well, I hope all of these pretty colors, sunshiny embellishments, and beautiful flowers have inspired you to create something wonderful with the Bunny Hop Collection. I've added the product links below for easy shopping. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a wonderful day! 😊
