Spring Memories Scrapbook Instructions

I designed it with the beautiful Simple Stories, Full Bloom Collection and a white chipboard album by 49 & Market. This scrapbook is filled with flowers, bees, rainbows, birds and all things spring!

I love the cover with its soft colors, chipboard letters filled with little flowers and the green linen paper next to the colorful plaid. Just lovely! 

Inside the album there are 3 folded pages that give you a total of 12 sides. These include 4 flippies, 3 pockets and space for at least 22 photos.

This would be a great album for anyone who loves flowers, nature, or gardening. Add fun photos from an afternoon planting with friends or the grandlittles, your garden, new blooms or vegetables, or ANY of your favorite photos!

Here's a good look at one of the folding pages - plenty of room for pictures and journaling. Are you a bee keeper or just love a bee theme? Do you garden to attract bees, butterflies, birds, squirrels, and ladybugs? Maybe you just love spending time outside in your yard and being a quiet observer. I love that.

If you have a real passion for gardening, you could make this a gardening journal. Use some of the mats for photos and others for writing notes. Document information about your plants, flowers and the little creatures that come to visit. 

Write about the "birds & bees & flowers & trees". You could use any old notebook but why not create a journal/album that's as pretty as the flowers that grow in your garden?

With 3 pockets, you could save receipts from purchases for reference at a later date, packets of seeds, sketches for new planting beds or images you've gathered for inspiration. 

If you're not a gardener, use the pockets for greeting cards, invitations, postcards from a vacation, brochures to botanical gardens, or extra photos.

Whether you use this as a photo album for your spring memories or a gardening journal ... I think you'll love putting the kit together and enjoy this beautiful keepsake for years to come. 

Update: This kit has sold out but I've added the links for the Instructions and the products used below. My instructions are simple, step-by-step and include measurements and full color photos of each page. Happy scrappin'!

Recipe Circle Scrapbook Album with Doodlebug Design

Hello scrappers! Have you had a chance to play with the Doodlebug Shadow Box Insert Kits yet? These kits make round, sticker-filled works of art that I'm totally in love with, and today ... I have a fun project that uses one! It's a cute recipe album that uses clear page protectors on the inside to hold 4x 6 inch recipe cards.

For starters, I designed a new white Acrylic Rectangular Circle Window Album to accommodate the Doodlebug Storybook page protectors. It's similar to my Square Circle Window Album, but this one needed to be wider and longer to fit the clear pages.

My new Acrylic Rectangular Circle Window Album will INCLUDE the simple instructions for this recipe scrapbook project. Yay!!

I designed this album with the cute Made with Love Collection. I added the plaid paper titled Cupcake Cuties to the cover, the "Baked With Love" This & That sticker, and layered two of the utensil container icon stickers.

Look how FUN!! The Shadow Box Insert Kit comes with lots of cute stickers, enamel sprinkles, and (depending on the kit you choose) rhinestones to create an amazing collage. You place each sticker on a sheet of vellum with the help of a template behind it. Then, remove the template and voila ... art!

Inside, there are twelve 8x8 page protectors that hold 4x6 cards. You could continue to add more pages to this album over time, just be sure to get larger binding rings. If you purchase my Acrylic Rectangle Circle Window Album, it includes the package of 12 page protectors & two 1" rings.

Wouldn't this be a sweet handmade gift for a friend, college student, daughter, mom, grandmother, or co-worker? It would also make a great hostess gift.

Ohhhh!!  What about a new bride! Before sending out the shower invitations ... include a recipe card and return envelope. Then as you receive everyone’s favorite recipes, add them to the album. The bride would love this sweet collaborative gift.

Park Bench Kitty Cat Card in a Box

Hello everyone and happy Monday! Today, I'm sharing a cute and colorful  "card in a box" that I just love!  It's a folding pop-up card that creates a park scene with flowers, a bench and a kitty cat. You could make this for a friend, teacher, co-worker or family member for almost any occasion. Take a look ...

I made this with a cutting file by Quietfire called Park Bench Kitty Card in a Box and the Echo Park Endless Summer Collection designed by Lori Whitlock (links below).

For the box section of the card, I used a pretty green paper by Bazzill called Kiwi Crush. For the flowers & the kitty, I used some Endless Summer 6x6 pattern papers and white card stock for the bench. 

I added some bright red enamel dots to the tree and for the sides ... a piece of Bella Blvd Hearts and Ombre in guacamole. The box itself will fold flat but the bench does not. However, I found 2 videos on how to make (and tweak!) these Card in a Box projects. 

To make the original version, click HERE.  To see a second option that allows you to fold the bench flat for mailing, click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
