NEW! Keep Smilin'! Scrapbook Album Kit

It's Friday friends!  And you know what that means!  A brand new kit ... and I am so excited about this one!  If you are like me, and love color and all things bright and happy, you are going to love this album kit as much as I do!  

This mini album is great for saving photos of almost any theme!  Family, friends, vacations, everyday, celebrations, spring, a trip to a botanical garden, college memories, and the list goes on!

Isn't she pretty? I designed this kit with a swimming pool binder from Doodlebug and the Color Me Happy collection by Simple Stories.  The title is Keep Smilin'! and I love the colors of the flowers on the cover!  Did you see that adorable card poking up from behind the camera?  "Okie Dokie Artichoke" made me smile so I had to include it on the cover!

If we take a peek inside, the first thing we see is this colorful journaling card and more of the pretty flowers.  This is a great spot for a To:/From: if you're giving the album as a gift, or for documenting dates, places, people, etc.

This is one of my favorite pages.  First it's my favorite color, and second, it was designed to look like an envelope.  I envision a colorful 5x7 photo tucked into the pocket with that fun tab sticker across the top!

Okay, those colors are so pretty!!

Here's one of the fun flippies I included in the album.  It's the perfect spot for 2 vertical 4x6 photos.  Happy vibes only though please!

And here's one of the pockets!  The album has 20 pages, 10 double-sided, including 2 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 6 flippies, great places for journaling, and space for 55+ photos.  

Here are a few ideas for photos for this book:

• spring and flower gardens
• a family celebration
• a day with friends
• Mother's Day (what a great gift this would be!)
• a vacation or roadtrip to a place with lots of beautiful color
• college memories, prom, or a day out with the girls
• and of course, everyday moments documenting your wonderful life!  

My brand new Keep Smilin'! album kit is in the shop today!  You don't want to miss this one!

Happy crafting my friends!

Bunny Hop Easter Egg Page with Doodlebug

Happy Thursday, friends! Easter is just a few days away, and today I’m sharing a fun 12x12 layout created with the adorable Bunny Hop collection. This might be one of my all-time favorite Doodlebug collections.  In fact, if you’ve been following along on Instagram or Facebook this week, you know I’ve been sharing “Five Days of Bunny Hop” all week long, and today’s layout is Day 4!

For my background, I started with the pretty Spring Sprouts paper and layered a piece of white cardstock in the center. I love fitting several photos onto my layouts, so I added four photo mats using the Carrot Patch paper along the left side of the page. Behind the photos, I tucked in a piece of the May Flowers accent paper. Those colorful flowers are absolutely gorgeous and definitely my favorite pattern in the entire collection!

Above the photos, I layered a few tags from the Easter’s On Its Way sheet, then added a doodle twine bow and a few flowers from the Bits & Pieces pack. 

In the lower right corner, I used two scallop stickers from the This & That sticker sheet to create a sweet little border. Then I added lots of colorful eggs, a fun Chit Chat title, and a few Hello Spring Shape Sprinkles for just the right amount of shine. And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a trio of the adorable Springtime Peeps DoodlePops scattered around the page!

My favorite finishing touch might be the Easter egg garland on the right side. I created it with three rows of twine and hung tiny Odds & Ends Easter eggs from pop dots. It looks just like a cheerful little Easter banner—and honestly, now I think I need a real one hanging in my house too. So cute!!

I hope this page has inspired you to create something fun with the Bunny Hop collection! Happy Easter everyone!
