Thankful Fall Scrapbook Album with Doodlebug

Hi friends! Today, I'm excited to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a super cute fall themed 8x8 inch mini album titled A Season of Gratitude. It's perfect for your autumn pictures of family, friends, festivals, colorful leaves, and Thanksgiving!

 

I designed this with the Doodlebug Design, Fall Friends and Flea Market Collections. They go perfectly together!

 

The little critters from the Fall Friends collection are SO cute! Look at their little sweaters!

 

 

The jar paper is one of my favorite prints in Flea Market! And I couldn't create my albums without the fabulous Odds & Ends and Doodle-pops.  

 

Now I just need to get my family together for a fun fall photo shoot so I have pictures to put in my album! That will be the toughest part of this project :)  Thanks for letting me share my album with you today! 

Until next time ... happy crafting!

Merry Christmas Mini Album with Simple Stories

Hey guys! Today, I'm sharing my latest Simple Stories Design Team Project. It's a fun holiday mini album titled Merry Christmas. I really enjoy creating small sized scrapbooks so I love the 4x6 Sn@p binder albums. They're the perfect size for a fun little project and they make unique gifts for people who have everything!

I designed the album with the Simple Stories Oh What Fun Collection, and ... it's oh so fun! It's filled with cute images of Santa, his reindeer, penguins, presents, snowmen, and more.

The little reindeer above just cracks me up! He's from the 12x12 cardstock sticker sheet and he's so cute!

I'm loving the colors in this collection. There are shades of red, green, aqua blue, and pink. I love pink!

I also love the 2x2 pocket page for the little pictures of my sweet granddaughter.

See how easy? A few cute photos, a couple sheets of paper and stickers, and a 4x6 Sn@p album! I'm doing these for gifts this year. After all, who doesn't love pictures? 

To make shopping easy, I've added the product links for the Oh What Fun Christmas Collection below. Happy scrappin'! 😊

Washi Tape Challenge with Doodlebug Design

Hey there! Today I'm excited to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team project which you can also see on their blog too. It's a fun Washi Tape project! I found these 8x8 frames on sale at my local craft store so I decided to create a few holiday decor pieces, and a gift for a friend. 

 

The frames came with double white mats. I covered the larger outside mat and left the one inside white.

 

I started with a corner, positioning the orange "Happy Halloween" tape first.  Then I added the rest of the tape by stretching it across the frame cut-out from one side to the other, trimming it, and folding it under each side. I could have saved some tape by not going across the opening, but this helped me line everything up perfectly.

 

 

Here's the finished Halloween frame in my family room.  This was a super easy way to add a little pop of color to the plain space on my shelves.

 

  I also made one for Christmas ... 

 

 ... and one as a gift for a friend. She can take out the center piece and add a cute picture of her new puppy if she likes. This would be so cute hanging over the leash hook.

 

Below are product links for the items used in this project.

Christmas Scrapbook Album and 12x12 Layout Kits

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing my latest mini album and 12x12 layout kits with you. And while I know I say this every time Doodlebug Design comes out with a new collection, this new Milk and Cookies Collection might be the cutest one ever! Well ... at least since Booville last month, lol! 😉

First, let's look at my Merry Christmas Mini Album ...

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Merry Christmas Scrapbook Instructions

 

I designed this with a 6x8 inch red Simple Stories binder and added lots of Doodlebug's adorable pattern papers, die cuts, stickers, enamel dots, twine, AND ... fun interactive elements (product links below).

 

This first page has a photo mat that's perfect for a family photo around the Christmas tree. And speaking of trees ... I added some glitter enamel dots the die cut piece above for some dimensional ornaments. Love it!

I had fun adding cards from Doodlebug's Create A Card set throughout this album.  I used one of the cards and lots of cute Odds and Ends die cuts for the page shown above.  Flip the card up and a few pictures can be tucked inside (see below).

 

 

This brick pattern is one of my favorites. I think I need to stock up on this sheet to use in future projects!

 

When I saw the 2x2 squares on the 12x12 Flannel Jammies print, I knew it would make a cute accent page in the album.  I cut out the squares and tucked them into a 2x2 pocket page.  I plan to add little pictures behind the squares that can be revealed like an advent calendar over the years.

 

Next, my 12x12 Santa Memories Scrapbook Layout Kit ...

To purchase the instructions for these pages visit:

12x12 Santa Memories Layout Instructions

These 6 colorful scrapbook pages (3 double-page layouts) were also designed with the Milk and Cookies Collection and have space for 18 photos.

Both of these fun DIY kits are perfect for saving pictures of family, friends, your Christmas tree, a holiday show, a lights festival, party, your beautifully decorated home, church or school event, a cookie swap, a gingerbread house, caroling with friends, wrapping gifts, a visit with Santa, and Christmas day!

Hop over to my shop to see my Merry Christmas Mini Album and the 12x12 Santa Memories Page Layout Kits that I created with the Doodlebug, Milk and Cookies Collection.

Both kits are fun and easy to create and will make the best keepsakes for your holiday photos. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Update: These kits have sold out but the instructions for them are available in my shop. My instructions are simple, step-by-step, and include a product list and full color photos of each page. Links for the instructions are below. Happy scrappin'!

Halloween Trick or Treat Mini Album Box

Hi everyone! I'm back to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project, which is also on their blog today. Their Booville collection is absolutely one of my favorite Doodlebug collections ever! The colors!! I had so much fun with this little mini album and coordinating box. Take a look ...

I covered a Graphic 45 box with different 12x12 papers, and used some chunky twine around the edges (product links below). I adhered a raised chipboard rectangle to the top of the box so that my twine would fit around the sides. The Doodle-pops Witch and Frog are so cute, and I paired them up with glitter sprinkles and some die cuts to make my lid complete!

Inside, I kept it simple and added cardstock, pattern paper, and the cute 4x6 Trick or Treat card to the lid.

The cute mini album inside was super easy. I cut some 4x6 cards out of black chipboard and covered each side with adorable papers. I punched two binding holes in each card before I added photo mats and embellishments. 

Then, I embellished! I have a bad habit of hoarding Doodle-pops, so ... I made myself use some. I added two cute ghost Doodle-pops to the album cover called Sweet Spirits, a round This & That sticker in the center, and some glitter enamel dots for sparkle.

 

Have you played with the new mini icon stickers yet? They were originally introduced for planners (super cute idea), but I love using them in my mini albums too! The little houses above are precious, don't you think? I also added the bat and spider Doodle-pops (called Cute Critters) from the Boos & Brews Collection.

The little Frankie and cars in the photo above are more of the mini icon stickers. I just love their smaller size!

Here's another Doodle-pops. This little skeleton boy is titled X-ray. Ha! Such a clever name!

And below ... I added the Halloween House Doodle-pops from the Ghouls & Goodies Collection and the Pumpkin Pals are from the Boos & Brews Collection.

 

Well, that's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has tons of "spooky" fun with this collection.
