NEW! Happy Halloween Scrapbook Album

Happy Friday! Today, I've added a spooktacular NEW album to the shop titled Happy Halloween. The first official day of fall is September 23 so, I thought it would be fun to start looking ahead to the upcoming holiday. I always love to prep early - that way I feel like it lasts just a little bit longer. If you're a big fan of Simple Stories like me ... you're going to love this mini!

Happy Halloween Scrapbook Instructions

I designed it with a 6x8 inch black binder and the brand new Simple Stories FaBOOlous Collection, which really IS quite faboolous! It's filled with haunted houses, ghosts, bats, hearts, Halloween characters, stars, pumpkins, black cats, flowers, and so much more.

This first page sets the tone for how wonderful this album is with its friendly skeleton, cute black cat, pumpkin brad, and gorgeous leaf design. Did you notice the little crows mixed in there? I love all the details in this one!

I really PACKED this mini with embellishments. There are card stock stickers, die cut pieces, chipboard stickers, and brads. AND the album has 16 pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 7 flippies, 2 pockets, and space for 60+ photos. So many goodies!

Check this out ... I created a folding page WITH a cute haunted house flippie on top. These elements give you space for 4 photos and a journaling spot ... on one super fun 6x8 inch page! Yay!

This is perfect for pictures of carving pumpkins, shopping for (or creating) Halloween costumes, a school party, making holiday cookies, a costume parade, hayride, corn maze, friends and family, fun Halloween crafts, and all the yummy treats in between.

I really love the Halloween characters in this collection. They're not too cute, not too scary ... but just right. Above, I've added a large flippie filled with those fun characters and in the back, a pocket with cards. These cards can be used for journaling or as photo mats. Now that's what I call maximizing space!

I've added cards for journaling so you can document your autumn activities. You can simply add dates, names, ages, locations, or events. Or ... you can go a step farther and describe the face your littles designed for their pumpkins, why a particular costume was chosen, how many houses they visited on Halloween, or the best candy they received.

No children ... no worries! This album is perfect for ANY age. Add photos of your scary and elaborately decorated home, a local fall festival, a haunted house, or an office costume party. Have you ever been to a thrilling (and slightly terrifying, lol!) Halloween event at a theme park like Universal Studios or 6 Flags?

No matter what your October activities look like ... this is the album for you! The kit is fun and simple to create and it's sure to make a forever keepsake. And don't forget, my albums are wonderful gifts! Hop over to my shop and get yours today.🎃

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

Hot Air Balloon Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hi sweet friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's an acrylic mini album shaped like a little hot air balloon! How cute is that?! I was inspired by Doodlebug's Hello Again Collection and it's hot air balloon cutting file. I thought it would make a great mini for photos of friends, family, a birthday, summer, a vacation, hot air balloon ride, spring, a new baby, or everyday moments.

I cut the covers out of white acrylic but you could easily use card stock or chipboard instead. I chose some pretty solid papers for the balloon and a Bazzill metallic gold for the details. Love, love, love the gold! 

The sticker on the balloon is from the This and That sheet. The saying was perfect but it had a bicycle on it, so ... I made a small mat to cover it and added the sun, clouds, and heart from the mini icon stickers. 

Inside, I created 6 white card stock pages and covered each one with a pretty 12x12 print. I punched out two circles (3" and 3.5") for some of the photo mats and used 6x6 pattern papers on a few of them.

Now for the really fun part ... the embellishing!! I added lots of die cuts and enamel shape sprinkles throughout. See if you can spot the sprinkles above - flowers, a butterfly, and gold leaves. So pretty!

This mini would make such a unique handmade gift. Make it for someone and let them add their own pictures, or ... fill it ahead of time with photos of your fun moments together. They would keep this forever.

I even added places to journal like this cute pink clipboard and yellow circle. These are great for listing names, dates, ages, locations, or events. Some day, you could forget those things, lol! 

I mixed up the mat shapes and sizes for interest but you can customize them for your own photos. When decorating the pages, I looked for pieces that fit into the negative spaces and in this photo ... the LOVE and the cute telephone did the trick!

I hope this Hot Air Balloon Album inspires you! I've added the cut file and product links down below.  For more inspiration, check out these other projects I made using Doodlebug's Hello Again Collection:

Fall Pumpkin Crate Card with Lori Whitlock

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing a fall card that I made using one of Lori Whitlock's fabulous cutting files called Box Card Crate Pumpkins (SVG, Silhouette). It's perfect for the upcoming autumn season and, with a quick sentiment change ... it can be given for lots of different occasions.

I created this with Echo Park's I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. The earthy colors were perfect with rust, orange, green, golden yellow, and brown. 

I embellished the card with some enamel dots and a few really cute stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet. I just love the little mouse sniffing that big sunflower. So cute!

I used a bunch of beautiful prints from the 6x6 paper pad for all of the pieces except for the crate. I used the 12x12 Autumn Woods print for that. 

The card folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento.

I hope you're looking forward to the change in seasons. It's a great time to create new projects with Lori's amazing cutting files and the I Love Fall Collection. Happy crafting!
