The ADD-ON pages have plenty of space for journaling. So tell the stories of working from home, home schooling, wearing your masks, being together as a family (games, movies, books etc), social distancing, and being creative when it comes to celebrations.

These fun pages measure 6x8 inches and include space for 25-30 more photos. What a nice addition to the original album!

 

The Add-ON pages were designed with paper and embellishments from the PhotoPlay New Normal Collection but you can substitute any supplies if you don’t have this exact collection.

Travel Girl Scrapbook Mini Album

Hey guys, it's Friday and you know what that means! Yes, the weekend is almost here (yay!) but, it's also the day that I get to introduce another new scrapbook kit in the shop. Today, I have my new Travel Girl Mini Album and look how cute she is! It has pretty colors and would be perfect for photos of a weekend get-a-way, a road trip, a visit to the city, or traveling abroad!

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed this with a 4x6 inch Simple Stories Flipbook in robin's egg and the Prima Traveling Girl Collection. I love that these papers and embellishments have a slightly feminine feeling without being over the top. You could save any photo here from a family vacation to a romantic trip away.

This would also be great for a girl's weekend with your daughter, sister, mom, best friend, or your whole girl squad! I think it's the best souvenir to remember those fun moments.

The album has 20 pages that include 4 folding pages, 3 pockets, 2 flippes, and space for at least 25 photos. That's perfect for a fun little get-a-way!

Don't you love the mint green, pink, and aqua blue colors? Oh! And all the cute travel stamps? They make me feel so well traveled, lol!

The album is a beautiful robin's egg blue and is one of Simple Stories Flipbooks. I'm really having fun with this new style. They're easy to work with, they come in lots of fun colors, and they store super flat.

School Days 6-Page Layout Instructions

Hi friends! It's the start of a new school year so I've just added the Instructions for my retired 12x12 School Days layout kit to the shop. These instructions explain how to recreate these 6 pages. They're colorful and great for new or old school pictures!
 
 

Even though school looks a little different this year, it's still a great idea to document these changes - first day, the at-home work area, art & science projects in the kitchen, field trips with mom or dad, etc. 
 

Or ... these pages would be great for documenting older school photos that you've never gotten around to scrapping. It's never too late!
 

These layouts were designed with the Doodlebug, School Days collection & it's still available! I've added all the links below.

My instructions are easy to follow, step-by-step and include full color photos of each page. So give these a try and happy crafting!

Flower Jar Card Tutorial with Bella Blvd

Happy Thursday friends!  Today seemed like a fun day for a tutorial, so I wanted to share how I used a pretty Bella cutting file to create a really fun card.

First, you can find this cutting file in Lori Whitlock's SVG shop here: Fireworks & Freedom Flower Jar or in the Silhouette Design Store (link below also).

Steps for creating this card in Silhouette Studio:

1.  Create an offset of the design and then highlight and right click to release compound path. This will separate all of those tiny little cuts in the middle of the offset so that you can delete them.
2.  Next, create an offset of the jar portion of the design and overlap the two offsets slightly so that you can weld them together.
3. Once you've welded the shapes together, cut the piece out of white card stock for the base of your card.

4. Cut out the layering stems, jar, and flowers.  I used Bella Besties and patterns from the Fireworks and Freedom collection.  To adhere the thin green stems, I used a Zig Squeeze and Roll glue pen to apply tiny dots of adhesive.
I also used tweezers to help adhere the stems in place. 
5. Once I had each of the pieces adhered to the front, I had some fun with embellishments.  I used matte enamel dots from the Chloe collection, an enamel heart from the Cooper collection, an adorable bow clip (minus the clip) and two white flowers from the Doghouse BellaPop.
Although it's hard to see in the photo, I also covered the jar portion of the card front with glossy accents to give it the look of glass!
I plan to stamp a birthday sentiment inside and give it to a friend in an A10 size envelope :). I think she'll love it!  If you have any questions about how I created this card, please leave a comment and I'll try to help. Thanks for joining me today!
