We R Memory Keepers Mini Album

Hi everyone!   I'm sharing this Spring Mini Album over on We R Memory Keeper's blog today.  For this little album I used the Hello Darling paper and embellishments and The Cinch binding tool.  I also used some other We R Memory products that I’ll share as we go … 

I’m a big fan of layers so I layered lots of goodies on the cover.  The ephemera die-cuts with this collection are wonderful so I paired a few of them with We R’s new sequins and alpha block stickers.

 

For the first inside page, I used one of my favorite Lifestyle Crafts dies, Classic Doily, and layered on a few more die cuts. I don’t envision a photo going on this page … just a pretty introduction to my album.

 

On this page, I added a scallop photo mat that I embossed for a little texture.  

 

… and then for this pocket page, I added a Raindrop border punch for some extra detail. I tucked one of the 4x6 journaling cards from the collection into the pocket.

 

Thanks for letting me share this spring-inspired mini with you today!  I hope spring and warmer weather are happening where you are soon!

Doodlebug Patriotic Parade Mini Album

Hey guys, today I'm sharing my latest Design Team Project for Doodlebug's blog! It's a July 4th Mini Album and I'm so in love with their brand new Patriotic Picnic Collection. Look how cute this album is! Perfect for all your Independence Day memories ...

I love, love, love the star vellum on the cover! The little stars have a raised shiny texture that is so pretty!

To cover the edge of the chipboard covers, I added a line of Stars and Stripes twine, and the Doodle-pops that match this collection are too cute!! The Doodle-pop flag is covered in glitter ... love it!!

I used the star gems throughout the whole album .... in fact, I like them so much I think I used every single one on the card! Ha!

 

 

 

Another one of the many things I love about this collection is that you can use it for many themes, not just 4th of July photos. It would be a perfect for military pictures, birthdays, summer picnics, and more!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by. To get great scrapbooking ideas & to stay up-to-date on new products & sales please "like" Artsy Albums on Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest!

Summer Sunkissed Mini Album Box with Doodlebug

Hey everyone! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and today, I'm sharing a re-purposed recipe card box that I turned into a mini album! I love creating different ways to save photos and when I found this box, I thought it would be fun sitting on my shelf this summer filled with some pictures.

I designed it with the Doodlebug, Sunkissed Collection (links below). It's so cute and I love the colors, sweet images, and carefree summer memories it reminds of. The recipe box is one that I found in my stash. I think it was made by Creative Imaginations or Darice?

On the outside of the box, I added lots of cute papers, made straps on the front, and added some Doodle twine and glitter dots. I also used a Lori Whitlock cutting file for the key and lock on the front (link below). On the top of the lid, I used the "Fun in the Sun" card, more twine, glitter dots, and a few super cute icon stickers.

Inside the lid, I created a fun little hanging banner with some blue jean twine and the flag stickers from the This & That sheet. Then, I made six file folder insert pages using another one of Lori Whitlock's cutting files called 4x6 Clipped Edge File Folders (link below). 

 

Once I had the folders cut out, I layered them with lots of Sunkissed papers, stickers, and glitter sprinkles!

On this file folder, I added the blue Surf's Up paper, the Mr. Sunshine Doodle-pops, and the bicycle icon sticker. The journaling card is from the Summer Celebration paper and I notched the corners so it would look like a tag. I added the "summer fun" fancy frills sticker and a small strip of Green Grass washi tape. A few flowers and some glitter dots and it was done! 

Here are a few more of the pages ... 

How cute are the new mini doilies?! I just love them! I also added a 2x2 inch card for a few small photos, a Boutique Button, twine, and the sun from the Summer Fun Mini Doodle-pops.

On this page, I added the Pretty Petunias paper, some stickers from the This & That sheet, and more glitter sprinkles! I can't help myself. ;)

Here, I used one of the cut-apart cards from the 6x6 paper pad. I love the mini version of these!

In the next 2 photos, you can see what the folders or "pages" look like opened up ...

I created a fun folding element (aka the flippie) with the ice cream truck card. It has space inside for 2 pictures, and ... that truck is just adorable. 

I had so much fun making this project. I love the Sunkissed Collection and finding new and creative ways to save photos. I think this recipe box is way cuter now that I got my hands on it, lol! 

 

To see another version of this project, visit my Summer Scrapbook Box that uses an Echo Park collection.
