Dog House Shaped Mini Album Instructions

Hey scrappers, I have fun news for you! Today is National Dog Day, so ... in honor of our sweet fur babies I've added the instructions for my adorable Dog House Mini Album to the shop! This fun shaped scrapbook is simple to create and makes the cutest keepsake for your pup's photos. 💗

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed this with the Bella Blvd, Cooper Collection and 2 pieces of 12x12 black chipboard. The album is 4"x6" and the house-shaped back cover is approx 6.25"x 7". 
 
My instructions include a template for the album so you can easily cut the chipboard into this fun shape. It's simple with a craft knife, paper trimmer or scissors. And ... I've added the product links below!
 
 
I used lots of fun die cuts from the ephemera icons and the 6x6 paper pad. However, you can also use the 12x12 prints if you already have them. Love those little dog faces above!
If you have multiple dogs, you could make a few of these and each pup would have their own. If you have a cat, you could get Bella Blvd's Chloe Collection and make one for them as well.
 
 
I love this page with all the circles. I think a puppy's paw print would look adorable on one of those little round mats!
 

This makes a beautiful gift for anyone who has a pet. If you know someone who just got a dog (or sadly, just lost one) this would make such a meaningful handmade present for their photos.
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you'll give my instructions a try and have a great day with your sweet furry friend!

Made with Love Recipe Box

Hey guys! Yesterday, I shared a cute 12x12 layout from an afternoon of baking cookies with my granddaughter. We love to spend time in the kitchen when she's at my house so, I decided to make Rylee her very own recipe box filled with the ones we make together!
 
Handmade Recipe Box with the Doodlebug Made with Love paper collection

I used the adorable Doodlebug, Made with Love collection. It has 4"x6" recipe cards that tuck perfectly inside the box (product links below). The Graphic 45 box is one that I had in my stash. It's approx. 5x7 inches and called Staples Tag Album Book Box in Kraft.

For the top, I used white card stock, a pretty plaid print called Cake Plaider and a strip of forks and spoons I cut from the print, Flour & Sugar. I punched a 3" red scalloped circle out of the Cinnamon Hearts paper and layered the "hello sugar" Chit Chat die cut on top. I used foam tape in between to give it a bit of dimension. Then I had fun with a few Odds and Ends and ... cover done!

For the sides, I used white card stock and the colorful 12x12 heart paper called Heartwarmer. I love it ... so playful!
 
Handmade recipe box with recipe cards inside

For the inside of the lid, I added white card stock and the cute yellow print that's full of fun baking icons and goodies called Made with Love. Look how perfectly the recipe cards fit in the box! Rylee will love this and as we need them, she can take each one out individually.

I covered the sides and bottom with white card stock and the mint green print called Bake Me Happy. 

I can't wait to add each new recipe as we go along. I know she'll love having this and I hope it always reminds her of the fun we have baking at Nini's. 💕
