Heart Shaped Love Notes Scrapbook Mini Album

Hi friends! It's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project and this one is perfect for Valentine's Day. It's a heart shaped mini album made with the wonderful Love Notes Collection. It's filled with pretty flowers, cute birds, mail, and my favorite Doodlebug colors ... cherry, bumblebee, and pistachio. It makes me so happy!

To make this, I cut 6 heart shaped pages out of white cardstock and layered them (front and back) with pretty 6x6 pattern papers and petite prints. Next, I punched a hole in each one for the binder ring.

Time to embellish. On the cover, I added lots of cute die cuts, stickers, enamel sprinkles, and 2 Doodle-pops. The envelope with the flowers is called Sending Love and the birds are called Tweathearts (links below).

Inside, I placed a second flower cluster back-to-back with the one on the front so they'd match. There were two of them in the Odds & Ends package, so I was able to extend them off the page without the white backs showing. I added some shape sprinkles then, the "Love you bunches" sticker from the This & That sheet.

 

 

Here, I made the cute photo mat using a scalloped circle punch and a circle punch from Marvy Uchida. The matching flower cluster is from the icon stickers and I added sprinkles throughout the album for a little shine.

 

Oooo, I love this pretty pink page. I used the Petite Prints Dot and Stripe in cupcake for the background, then added the Forever Plaid and yellow border stickers across the middle. Next came the photo mat, another flower die cut, and some enamel glitter dots!

 

The Sweat Hearts paper on this page is the perfect backdrop for the folding card in the center. The pink mat is actually a 3x3 Doodlebug card that lifts up to reveal space for two photos or journaling! 

 

 

How cute are these pages? I added more little birds from the Tweathearts Doodle-pops, the clipboard is a mini icon sticker, and the scallop "love you" circle is a This & That sticker. I'm pretty sure I used every type of embellishment in this collection!

 

Check out the cute heart banner on the green page above. I added little enamel hearts on top to give them some dimension and shine. Love it!

I had so much fun with this sweet little album and I hope these pretty colors and embellishments have inspired you to be crafty today! What will you make with the Love Notes Collection?

Happy New Year! 2020 is here and I'm so excited for what it will bring. I hope everyone had a really wonderful holiday. I loved being with my family and watching my 3 year old granddaughter enjoy Christmas. So much fun! But now it's time to get back to work and I'm happy to share my latest album with you. It's called You and Me Love Notes and it's just in time for Valentine's Day!

You & Me Love Notes Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with the (oh so cute!) Doodlebug Design, Love Notes Collection and a 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder album in robin's egg blue. 

This mini is filled with beautiful images of flowers, hearts, cute little birds, and yummy treats. It's got a "love is in the air" feeling mixed with a springtime theme, so ... it's great for all occasions. 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include 4 pockets, 2 fold-out pages, 1 flippie, a waterfall feature (so fun!), and space for at least 60 photos. 

Above is one of the pockets. These are perfect for saving memorabilia like ... love notes from your sweetie, a special greeting card, a cute little message from your children or grandkids, a hotel key card from a weekend getaway, a favorite recipe, or a brochure from a fun activity.

Ooooo, I love this fold-out page. Check out the whimsical heart paper, bright plaid, and happy colors. I added a cute journal card for a fun story, or names, dates, locations, or events. Since this album isn't overly romantic, it's perfect for any relationship.

This album kit makes such a fun project and a forever keepsake for pictures of you and your partner, family, best friends, littles, or anyone that's important to you.

My You and Me Love Notes Mini Album is such a beautiful scrapbook and a perfect handmade gift idea for Valentine's Day, or ... ANY day!

Winter Snowflake Photo Wall Hanging with Doodlebug

Sometimes when I see a new product I get an idea for using it right away.  That's what happened when I saw the acetate snowflakes in the Winter Wonderland Odds & Ends.  I just thought they would be so pretty hanging down from a wall or mobile!

To make this wall hanging, which I also think will be pretty in front of a window, I laid out all of the acetate snowflakes on my craft table first.  This helped with picking sizes and colors.  Then I used a 1/16" hole punch to punch two tiny holes in each piece. 

I used fishing line to string the snowflakes and added a Doodlebug jewel to the front and back of each one.

I added a few snowman sprinkles here and there, and weighted the bottom of the fishing line with two large jewels back to back.

Finally, I added washi tape, die cuts, and ribbon to a thin piece of wood, and hung each strand of snowflakes across the back. 

It really looks so pretty hanging over my corner desk in my craft room, but would also be great in front of a window!  Another idea would be to hang the strands around a decorated embroidery hoop!  Thanks for checking in today, and hopefully I've given you another idea for using these beautiful acetate snowflakes and jewels!

Winter Fun Mini Album Kit & Instructions

Are you loving the new Winter Fun collection from Doodlebug? Me too!! I've had so much fun playing with all of this cuteness ... in fact, I was creating my newest mini album kit when a few girl friends were over to scrapbook with me. I kept smiling and giggling every time a page was done and they said "Hey, you're having way too much fun over there!" Lol, no such thing as too much fun with Doodlebug!

 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

For this cute little mini I used an album by Prima, and a combination of 12x12 and 6x6 papers from the collection. I also threw in some petite prints and some white card stock.

 

 

I love the hint of glitter on the icon stickers ... aren't those little mittens with the twine cute?!

 

I can just see adorable pictures of kids all bundled up for the snow on these pages!  Making a snowman, skiing, sled rides, snow ball fights, winter cabin pics ... how cute!

 

I can't decide which little character in this line I like the most ... they are ALL so cute! Mr. Yeti and Mr. Moose might be tied for 1st!

 

Does anyone LOVE that plaid as much as I do?? 💗

So if you or your friends find you are smiling and giggling excessively while creating with Winter Wonderland, don't be alarmed.  It's going to happen!  Have fun!
