Library Pocket - June Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hello friends and Happy Blog Hop day! Today is Lori Whitlock's June Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. Be sure to also visit Lori's site because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I made a library pocket using one of Lori's really fun and simple cutting files called Library Pocket Card Camera (product links below). Look how cute!

Library pockets are such useful little embellishments for scrapbookers, card makers, writers, artists, and other paper crafters. They make a great addition to scrapbook pages, greeting cards, or journals and they're perfect for holding notes, journaling cards, embellishments, photos, or gift cards.

I made mine super girly with pink hearts, but ... you could change up the paper and replace the flower with a different embellishment. You could customize it for Father's Day or any occasion!

The file includes two "print & cut" library style cards for notes or journaling. You could use these to document an event, date, location, or people's names. If the pocket's being used to hold a gift card, you could include a sweet note. Or ... use the cards to tell a story, write about your thoughts, or as photo mats!

There are more inspiring projects to see today, so be sure to hop to each blog for lots of great ideas!

12x12 Doggone Cute Scrapbook Page

Hey scrappers! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a fun 12x12 scrapbook page for 3 of your adorable dog's photos. I used the Doggone Cute Collection that's filled with bright happy colors and lots of fun pattern papers. Check it out ...

Doodlebug colors are amazing and I wanted to use a lot of these prints. So, I chose 7 and used smaller pieces of each. That way, it's not too busy and I got to use some leftover scraps from my dog album.

I started with a 12x12 white piece of cardstock for the base. Then I cut 24 strips (each 1/4") from the 12x12 papers & staggered their lengths. I also cut a 1/4" black piece to use as a spacer when gluing them down.

I added little puffy hearts at the bottom of each strip. I love puffy stickers and how they add a little dimension to the page. I use them on everything!

On the lower half of the page, I added the blue Good Boy print and the scalloped border sticker from the This & That sheet. Then, I cut 3 photo mats (3.5"x 3.5") out of the yellow polka dot print called Man's Best Friend.

There are so many cute embellishments in this collection to choose from! The dogs, the dog bowl, and the grass are from the Odds & Ends. The "you had me at woof" is from the Chit Chat and the little orange tennis ball is from the mini icon stickers. 

I hope my layout inspires you to use your own scrap pieces and have fun being creative with the Doggone Cute Collection. Happy crafting!
