There is one page for each month and they can be customized for when you'd like your calendar to begin. So, you can start it next month with the school year, or in January with the new year. The choice it yours!

Not only are these layouts fun to create now but the craftiness continues as the months evolve. You will need to add stickers and embellishments as your events are planned so, it's an on-going project.

Happy Autumn Memories Scrapbook Album

Hello friends, I'm so glad it's Friday! I have a fun NEW kit for you titled Happy Autumn Memories and yep ... we're movin' on to a new season! Today's album is all about fall and I'm looking forward to a change in the weather. It's time to leave this heat behind. Fall colors, pumpkin pie, and breezy evenings ... yes please!

Happy Autumn Memories Scrapbook by Artsy Albums
 
To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I created this mini with a 7.6"x6" chipboard album and the brand new Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection. It's designed by Lori Whitlock and has cute woodland animals, leaves, acorns, flowers, tractors, and pumpkins.

Inside, there are 12 pages that include 2 pockets, 7 flippies, 2 fold-outs, and space for 38 photos. I've added lots of autumn papers, cute cards, stickers, brads, and enamel dots. And with a new season, comes a new color scheme - cinnamon, mustard yellow, forest green, brown, and maroon. I love it.

I tried to be creative and maximize the space on each page. The fold-outs add extra room for pictures or journaling. On this page, I embellished the front of one with a cute racoon card and some pretty die cuts.

Flip it open and there are 2 photo mats - perfect for pictures of a fall festival, the pumpkin patch, fun with family and friends, the changing leaves, Thanksgiving, or a hike through nature.

Friends Envelope Scrapbook Album with Doodlebug

Hello everyone! Today, I'm excited to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a pretty Friends Mini Album that's filled with gorgeous flowers and gold foil accents. I made it with the beautiful Hello Again Collection and some simple white envelopes. What a sweet place to save photos of you & your bestie!

Friends Envelope Scrapbook Mini Album with flowers, butterflies, and gold foil accents

I created this with five 6.5"x 5" envelopes and 2 green book rings from my stash. All of the envelopes stack with the pocket side facing up. In order to decorate the cover, I knew I'd lose the first pocket ... but with all those pretty flowers and the cute "Friends" title, it was worth it!

Here's a close-up of the cover ... it's my favorite part! The flowers, the gold foil shine, the teeny tiny enamel sprinkles, AND ... the butterfly Doodle-pops!! Oh good grief, it's silly how happy this makes me!

Inside, I covered each envelope with a pretty pattern paper. On this first page, I matched all the flower die cuts with the ones on the front cover, so you wouldn't see the back side of those that hung over the edge. Then I added photo mats, journaling cards, and more pretty embellishments to each page.

Whether you have one or two close friendships that date back to your childhood or a larger group of girls that are fairly new ... everyone should have a place to save fun memories.

We share so many experiences with friends either at school, work, home, or traveling. And with our phones, we're all taking photos more than ever! So print and save them. One day, you'll be so glad you did.

Add memories of meeting for coffee, a workout session, shopping, playing pickle ball or golf, card games, charity work, church, walking in a 5K, meeting for drinks, a girls weekend away, a scrapbook session, or an afternoon at the spa ... so many good times!


Look how cute this album is sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. If you make this scrapbook for someone else, be sure to give them a stand so your friend can display this thoughtful present!  

I hope my Friends Envelope Mini Album inspires you to create one. The product links are below.  For more inspiration with Doodlebug's Hello Again Collection, here are some of my other projects ...

Have a great day and happy scrappin'!

Teacher Card & Magnets - August Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock


Hello my crafty friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's August Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I created a wonderful magnetic card with 4 school themed magnets that can be displayed on a whiteboard, file cabinet, or throughout the classroom. I made these with one of Lori's amazing cutting files called School Stickers (SVG, Silhouette). This is such a cute gift idea for a teacher or a tutor!

To make the card's base, I cut a 4.25" x 5.5" (A2 size) piece of white Bazzill card stock out and adhered Silhouette's Adhesive Magnet Paper on top to look like a chalkboard (product links below).

Then, I used Lori's cutting file to create some fun individual magnets with colorful card stock. I added the Silhouette Magnet Paper on the back side of those too.

These can be stored on the magnetic card, or ... removed and used anywhere! The Happy Day sticker from Echo Park's Bee Happy Collection designed by Lori.

Inside, I added a strip of the magnet paper & another cute magnet in the shape of books. Add your own sentiment and signature and you're done! 

Now you have a handmade gift ready to go for teacher appreciation day, their birthday, or a holiday. Check that off your list! ✔

Below is the cutting file I used ...
