Documenting January with Simple Stories

Hello scrappers! I've gotten a little behind on documenting my family's stories recently, so I've decided to try something new this year. At the end of each month, I plan to go back through the month's photos on my phone and print my favorites. I want to keep it simple, so I'll put these photos into an album and document each month's highlights. January came together super quick!

 

I used a 6x8 Simple Stories Sn@p binder and the Freezin' Season collection for these pages. I love how my die-cut title fit perfectly in the 2x8 space on this pocket page.

 

I live in Georgia and we rarely get snow, but January is a winter month so these snowflake embellishments worked great!

 

I love the little house die cuts in the bits & pieces package. I thought these were perfect next to the picture of Rylee in the playhouse at her favorite store.

 

I love the patterns in these papers (called Snuggle Up and the other was the back of the 4x6 element sheet). The swirls and dots reminded me of wrapping paper so I used them for my son's birthday page.

This was so easy. I'm looking forward to the end of February when I'll pick out my favorite photos from this month! Thanks for stopping by!

Paris Memories Scrapbook Album

Bon Jour! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team project. It's a super cute mini album titled Paris Memories. I will never forget my trip to Paris so, I was really excited with the themed cuteness in the new French Kiss collection. Have you ever been or dream of going? Maybe you live there or, love all things Parisian. If so, then this is the project for you. 💖

How cute is the little airplane guy flying around the Eiffel Tower? The tower is from the Odds & Ends pack, and the clouds and airplane are from the mini icon stickers.

 

 

What a cute little pup! (I love you too)

 

I used lots of the border stickers from the This & That sticker sheet in this album. I especially love the one that's aqua and white (above) ... it reminds me of an awning at a cute little French cafe.

Oh the colors in this collection! I love how they go from soft pink and aqua to bright red and blue!

 

This page is so feminine. The pretty pink color of the petite prints dot & stripe against the navy blue paper, the bow die cut, the teeny tiny flower sprinkle in the center, the sweet flower print, and that rick rack border sticker! Love, love, love this collection!!

And ... I hope you love it too. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by the blog today!

You & Me Scrapbook Album with Doodlebug French Kiss

Hello friends! Years ago, I started creating a series of mini albums for myself called "You and Me". They document the love story I've shared with my husband since high school. The first book goes back to the 80's. So today, I'm sharing a NEW little scrapbook kit I've made titled You and Me that was inspired by those albums and the beautiful Doodlebug Design, French Kiss Collection. It's bright, fun, and has adorable papers. It's a perfect gift idea for Valentine's Day.💕

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I created the cover with white chipboard and it consists of 4 layers include smaller rectangles and the heart. I added the die cut of the two cuties on the bike, a few tiny heart sprinkles on the wheels (for extra cuteness), and the "You & Me" title which I created with my Silhouette software.

Aren't the colors in this collection so pretty? I love the pink, blue, and red combination. On the first page above, I added a gorgeous floral print and a pretty photo mat. 

Then if you'll notice, there's also an acetate page laying on top. You're looking at the backside with the plaid paper on the side, the scallop circle "Love You", and the white mat with the word bubble

Here's what it looks like on the front. I love the transparency and the cute hot air balloon card that says "you make my heart soar".

On this page, I added a cute polka dot, the die cut of the girl holding the balloon, and some petite prints in dot/stripe (bubblegum & blue jean). The petite prints go perfectly with every Doodlebug collection.

Wouldn't this mini album be perfect filled with photos of a fabulous trip to Paris? Oh, yes please! But ... that's not all. You could also add photos of you and your sweetie, family and friends that you love, a first date, an engagement, a cute Parisian wedding, or an anniversary.

And ... what a great album this would be for photos of Valentine's Day! Add pictures of a romantic evening, a special dinner, you and your partner all dressed up, or a weekend away!

I hope you like this pretty You and Me Scrapbook Album Kit made with the wonderful Doodlebug French Kiss Collection. Hop over to my shop to get this kit or premade and to see my other projects, instructions, supplies, enamel pins, and shirts. 

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'!

Valentine Album with Simple Stories Kissing Booth

Hello friends! Recent family photos have been sitting on my desk just begging to be added to an album, and when I saw Simple Stories, Kissing Booth I didn't immediately think of these pictures. It's a beautiful Valentine collection, but my family photos were taken in the fall. Would it work? You bet! I'm thrilled with the way I was able to document family love and togetherness with these pretty papers!

Family photos courtesy of Capturing Bliss Photography

I used a black 6x8 Snap album and incorporated black and white card stock in with the patterns. The die cuts are so pretty ... lots of flowers, hearts, and cute sayings that are perfect for Valentine's Day or general everyday family moments.

Even though I love the divided photo sleeves, I used more of the full 6x8 pages for this album. I enjoy creating full scrapbook pages, and with this size I don't have to commit to an entire 12x12 page.

In addition to bits & pieces die cuts, I also used chipboard, puffy stickers, and combo stickers throughout the album. And by the way, my granddaughter IS sweet, don't ya think? :)

I confess that the Feb. 14 chipboard doesn't match up with the photo I tucked into the pocket, but I loved the piece on this page.  I'll add Valentine photos of this little sweetie when I have some in a few weeks.
