School Card - August Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to Lori Whitlock's August Blog Hop! My blog is the first stop on the hop so ... if you are starting here, be sure to hop back over to Lori's site too for more great projects and ideas.

 

School started here in Georgia and my granddaughter's first day of 2-year old preschool was this past week. With her first day on my mind, I decided to create one of Lori's adorable pop-up box cards called School Bus (link below). 

This would be so cute for a teacher, a friend or a school bus driver!

 

I used most of the pieces that came with the cutting file, but I decided to change it up just a bit with a few stickers. The cute little bus and fun sign are both stickers from a paper collection that Lori designed for Echo Park called Back to School. 

 

The printed gold colored paper that my card is sitting on is from this collection as well and blue background paper is from the Back to School Solids Kit.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I've add the product links for this project below. Enjoy the hop!!

Dream Big Album with Simple Stories

I have loved saving my family memories over the years, and as some of you know, I have two sons, 24 and 28 years old.  As you can imagine, there are a lot of blue pages, sports layouts, and masculine themes in my albums .... until my sweet granddaughter joined the family 22 months ago.  I will continue to document the men in my life, but I'm having so much fun scrapbooking my life with this little princess. 

The Dream Big collection was perfect for saving some of my favorite 2018 memories.  I love the colors!

The 2x2 pockets make such a fun page.  I added just one tiny photo on this page, to highlight a special moment between my granddaughter and her uncle.

I used the 12x12 collection pack, including the sticker sheet.  I also used the chipboard stickers, puffy stickers, and Bits & Pieces die cuts.  

If you have a little girl in your life, the Dream Big collection is a must have.   Thanks for letting me share with you today!

Travel Memories Scrapbook Album Kit

Hi friends!! Who's doing some summer traveling or has plans to getaway soon?  I love to travel and along the way, I take lots of pictures and save bits of memorabilia. When I get home I have so much fun scrapping my fun adventures. In June, my family traveled to Hilton Head, SC and later this month ... I'll be flying to Utah for a scrapbook retreat with some of my favorite friends. 

If you're like me and enjoy fun trips AND scrapping, you're going to love my latest album kit titled Travel Memories. I hope you love it as much as I do ...

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Travel Memories Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with a navy 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder and the Carta Bella, Pack Your Bags Collection. It's the perfect size for a travel journal and can easily tuck inside your suitcase or carry-on for daily journaling.

It has 16 scrapbook pages (8 double-sided) that include several fold-out elements, 2 pockets, and space for at least 38 photos. There are lots of interactive flippies, and spots for creating a fun travel journal.

I added this pretty waterfall feature that will hold 8 pictures. That's a lot of great photo storage for one page!

Here is one of the pockets. It's great for saving extra photos and memorabilia. These cute 3x4 cards can be used for journaling or as photo mats on the back side.

All of the pieces in my kits are pre-cut for you, packaged by page, and include the simple full-color, step-by-step instructions. You can follow my directions or change up the design to fit your needs. The choice is yours!

Update: This kit has sold out but the instructions are available in my shop. They are simple, step-by-step, and include full color photos of each page. Links for the instructions and the products used are below. Happy scrappin'!

Sweet Girl Layout with Doodlebug's Hello Collection

For today's project I created a page layout using sweet photos of Rylee's attempt to catch a butterfly. 🦋 Oh, she makes me laugh! I knew the Hello collection would be perfect for this page ... the pink, the tiny flower print paper, and the gold!! Although white and gold are always hard to photograph, hopefully you can get an idea of how pretty the shine on the page really is.

 

At the bottom of the Hello This & That sheet are several rows of border stickers. That tiny gold dot border was calling my name and I was really glad I had several sheets when I decided to add it all the way around my page. The light pink edge down each side of the flower print is also a border sticker from the same sheet. The adorable flowers in the upper right corner are a DoodlePop (I added the tiny pink bow from the Mini Icon Sheet), and the title is from the Chit Chat die cuts.

 

 

For the flowers in the lower left corner, I used a combination of acetate from the Odds & Ends, and enamel shapes from the Beautiful Blossoms assortment. I've listed a bunch of products links below and you can purchase others HERE.

I hope I've inspired you to use multiple border stickers on your next page ... and maybe a pop of gold! Have fun!
