Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a shaker mini album I created with the DIY Snow Globe Kit and the beautiful Hello Again Collection (links below). I'm a mini album girl and can usually find a way to turn anything into a little scrapbook filled with photos. Any size, any shape, any theme - I got you! So, when I saw this snow globe, my brain thought of this ...

It's a snow globe shaped holder with a round, removable mini album inside! Oh, how I love Doodlebug. They have so many cute supplies that inspire such fun projects. Let's take a quick look at the mini, then I'll walk you through the steps of how I made it.

I decorated the outside of it with pretty flower die cuts, some tiny gold enamel heart sprinkles, a floral print, and a gold foil title sticker.
Inside is the cute circle shaped mini album. I designed its cover to be a
shaker and filled it with the pretty Spring Flowers pieces from the
Bunny Hop Collection. I love their colors!

The album's pages were created in an accordion style, so ... there are no rings or binding clips that would prevent it from fitting inside the snow globe.

The Hello Again Collection is perfect for this spring mini. The bright Pink Poppies print on the rim is beautiful and inside I added some mini icon stickers and two cute little trees from the puffy shapes.

I covered all the white card stock pages with 12x12 pattern papers, except for the one pink page above where I used a 6x6 print. I also added the cute vase of flowers from the icon stickers.

For the photo mats, I used a 3" scallop circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch by Marvy Uchida (links below).

Check out this cute little rainbow icon sticker. I love its pretty gold foil scalloped edge, and ... the fact that it mimics the scallops and the shape of my photo mat!

Ok, now for the tutorial ...

1. Using my Silhouette Cameo machine and card stock, I cut out the following:
- 1 pattern ring (4.25”)
- 6 white rings (4.25”)
- 10 white circles (4.25”)
- 10 pattern circles (4”)
2. I stacked and glued the 6 white rings together to provide dimension for the shakers. Then, I glued a 4.25” acetate circle (that I cut out by hand) to one side.
3. I added .25” foam squares around the edge of the paper side of the rings and set that aside.
4. For the pages, I adhered the pattern circles to the white circles. I laid 5 of them out side-by-side, glued a long piece of ribbon across them, and glued the remaining 5 circle sets on top (white circles facing in & sandwiching the ribbon). Trim off the excess ribbon on either end.

5. On the front side of the first page, I created the scene with mini icon stickers. I sprinkled on some cute spring flower shakers and adhered the acetate frame (from step 3) on top to create the cover.

Slip the cute mini inside the snowglobe, replace the backing that comes with it, and voila!! My spring album project is done. I can't wait to add some spring photos to this little album.
I hope today's project with the DIY Snow Globe Kit and the Hello Again Collection inspires something wonderful! Until next time ... happy crafting 😊
