Zoo Day Acrylic Scrapbook Album with Bella Blvd

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project and I've just added the instructions for it to my shop! It's an acrylic mini album made with the adorable new Zoo Day Collection. It's perfect for photos of a day at the zoo, outdoor fun, themed parties, a new baby, everyday memories, and more!

When I first saw this collection, I fell in love with the little animal faces in the puffy stickers. I thought they'd be really cute peeking through the cut-outs of my Acrylic Circle Petal Album.

The album comes in black and white and includes two 7.25" circular shaped covers and 1 binding ring. The album does not come with pages, BUT you can easily use circle cutter, a Cricut or Silhouette machine, or one of the covers as a template to trace and cut as many pages as you'd like.

To decorate the cover, I cut a 4" circle out of the orange polka dot paper called Wild Bunch and added the circle "Zoo Day" Doohickey sticker in the center. Then, I added a pink flower puffy sticker in the white space at the top to mimic the ones in the image (links below).

Inside, I cut five 7.25" circles out of white cardstock, giving me 10 scrapbook pages. For this first page, I added the Jungle Journey acetate on top of the white paper. The loved the leaf pattern! I made a photo mat in the center by punching out a 4" and a 3.5" circle, then added the "love the zoo" chipboard sticker from the Ciao Chip. Finally, I positioned the sweet little puffy sticker animal faces on the layout so they would show through the cutouts on the cover, and ... they looked adorable!

For the rest of the white cardstock pages, I covered them with colorful patterned papers cut into 7" circles. Above, I layered black and white square mats, then embellished with the striped tab, "adventure", and "best days together" die cuts from the Ephemera Words. The "welcome to the zoo" is a Doohickey sticker, the cute zebra and leaves are from the Ciao Chip, and the epoxy stars / dots are from the Safari stickers.

Even a round album can have a cute pocket! To make it, I covered the page in the Bella Besties gingham and stripes in black. Then, I cut another 7" circle out of the same Besties print but in ice blue. I trimmed that down, adhered it to the page, and added the grass border sticker from the Caio Chip and some flowers from the Ephemera Icons. I tucked 2 cards inside for journaling or photos, then added 2 adorable die cuts!

Wouldn't this scrapbook be perfect filled with photos of Disney's Animal Kingdom, a jungle or animal themed birthday party, Halloween, a petting zoo, a baby shower, a gender reveal, or sweet new baby pics? I think it also makes a unique gift idea ... like a brag book for mom or grandma! 

This mini looks awesome sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It's perfect for showing off your fun shaped albums that don't always want to stand up on their own. I imagine this in a baby or kid's room, your office, or on a cute shelf.

I hope you love this album and Bella Blvd's adorable new Zoo Day Collection! My scrapbook is such a fun project. And trust me ... anyone can create this with my simple, step-by-step instructions! They are now in my shop along with the Acrylic Circle Petal Album

Summer Fun Camera Shaped Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hi everyone! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I created a new scrapbook with the Summer Fun Collection and my Acrylic Camera Shaped Album. It's been a minute since I made a project with this mini and it turned out so, so cute! Such a fun keepsake for your summer photos.

Summer Fun Camera Shaped Scrapbook Album with pretty flowers, tropical palm trees, colorful fish, beach umbrellas, and surfboards. It is displayed on a clear acrylic stand.

This album would be fabulous for pictures of a vacation, the beach, a cruise, fishing, the pool, and warm sunny days. It features lots of pretty flowers, tropical palm trees, colorful fish, beach umbrellas, surfboards, and more. It would also make a gorgeous handmade gift for someone!

I designed this with my Acrylic Camera Shaped Album in white. It's approx. 4.25 x 6.25 inches and comes with white card stock pages, a round acrylic "lens" piece for the cover, and 2 silver binding rings.

As for Summer Fun Collection ... I used the 6x8 paper pad, some 12x12 cut apart cards, and lots of cute die cuts and stickers (links below).

My camera album comes with a white acrylic circle for the lens, but I wanted to add pattern papers for more color. So, I used a 3" and a 3.5" circle punch to add layers underneath. Then, I added the scenic circle die cut on top and I love that it looks like a reflection in the lens!

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 3 interactive flippies, and space for 30 summer photos.

Isn't this fold-out page gorgeous? I love the flower print and that 4x4 "Life is Good" card on the front flap. Y'all know I'm all about a pretty scalloped circle! When you open the page, there's a matching 4x6 card underneath that's perfect for journaling and photos.

Check out this colorful pocket page! I added some cute journaling cards / photo mats, but you could also save small memorabilia here like ... a favorite summer recipe, tickets to an event, a postcard or room key from your travels, a brochure from an activity, or a small map.

This fun layout has a flippie with space for 2 pictures AND a cute little pocket! I added the "Adventure" tag from the Bits & Pieces that is great for a few notes. But, you could also tuck another photo inside.
