Custom Sports Themed Scrapbook Album

Hello everyone! Recently, I had the opportunity to create a wonderful album for a client's dad for Father's Day. Her father is a sports fan so the new Graphic 45, Good 'Ol Sport Collection would be perfect for this gift. It has great colors, a vintage sports theme, and it paired perfectly with the kraft chipboard album.

I wanted to share some of the album's photos with you today and hopefully inspire you to save some memories of your dad or create a wonderful keepsake for him as a gift.
 

 
Oh, I love these pages ... the layering is pretty wonderful. This amazing album is timeless and will be a beloved keepsake for years to come.


I'm also loving he fact that it has many different sports like football, baseball, track, soccer, golf, etc. For those who don't have just one favorite sport, this collection covers all the bases! Lol, cute pun! 


As always, thank you so much for visiting my shop! My goal is to create scrapbooks, memory albums, and kits that encourage people to share their stories, preserve their photos, and document their everyday lives.

Pretty Boxes with We R Memory Keepers Punches

Hey friends! I'm so happy to be a part of the We R Memory Keepers Design Team. Not only do I have the opportunity to play with their wonderful paper collections, but they also have some of my favorite tools!
 
Today, I'm sharing a fun project that I designed for a We R Memory Keepers / Hobby Lobby project idea promo. It is two pretty gift (or storage) box ideas using We R Memory Keepers punches.
 

For these adorable boxes, I used paper by Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby and 2 We R Memory Keepers Punches - the 2-Edge Punch Doily and Mini 8 Punch Doily.


The Mini 8 Punch is what I used to create the pretty circular shape (on the top of the lid) on the round box above.

The 2-Edge Punch allows you to punch one side to make a border or 2 sides to create a ribbon-like effect. Both examples are shown on the square box above.

 
I have these two punches, but ALL of them are on my wish list, lol! Love love love!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Please leave me a comment and tell me about the fun projects you've created with We R Memory Keepers punches!

Summer Scrapbook Box - April Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hello everyone! Today is Lori Whitlock's April Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I created a Summer Scrapbook Photo Box with several of Lori's fabulous cutting files including her file folders. It's such a fun and creative way to save your memories! 

Summer Scrapbook Photo Box with file folders inside for photos

To start, I used a chipboard recipe box that I found in my stash. I think it was made by Creative Imaginations or Darice. I decorated it with the Echo park, Summer Bliss Collection that was also designed by Lori. I used mostly 6x6 papers to cover the box, then I embellished with lots of cute stickers.

I chose the Key and Lock Set Cutting File for the front, as well as the Summer Titles File for the "Summer Fun" words. Then, I used the Palm Trees Cutting File for the cute pieces on the side (links below).

Lori's 4x6 Clipped Edge File Folders worked perfectly to create the pages for my photo box. I made them out of white card stock, then covered them in colorful 6x6 papers, photo mats, and stickers.

My new photo box looks so cute sitting on my desk, and now ... I have some favorite summer memories at my finger tips!
