Hey girls! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I made a patriotic July 4th Scalloped Mini Album. It's so stinkin' cute, super colorful, and perfect for photos of the 4th of July and this year's 250th anniversary! I've just added the instructions for it to my shop, so ... time to scrap your pictures!

To make this, I used the fabulous Hometown USA Collection that features a bright red, white, and blue color scheme, silver foil accents, stars, flags, fireworks, and lots of Doodlebug cuteness! ❤️ (Links below.)
I also used my 4.5" x 7.5" inch white Acrylic Scallop Edge Album. It has a pretty scalloped edge down one side, white cardstock pages, and silver binding rings. For today's project though, I actually swapped out the silver rings for red ones for a little more color.

On the front, I used the fireworks pattern in the background and it looked perfect! Then, I added the 3x4 card and layered the matching Uncle Sam Doodle-pops directly on top for dimension. Look how cute! His tiny enamel eyes and buttons, that little red bow tie, and the silver foil details. Love him!

Next, I wanted to highlight the scallops so I used a 1" circle punch and colorful prints from the 6x6 paper pad to decorate the front and back of each. The smaller scaled patterns worked great for this.

Inside, there are 12 white scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 1 flippie, 1 pocket, and space for 18 photos. I covered the pages in fun 12x12 pattern papers, added photo mats, and embellished. In this ^ photo, I added a cute clipboard from the Bits & Pieces and some enamel stars and a flag shaped sprinkle. On the right, I chose the cute kids die cut from the Odds & Ends and added 2 enamel dots to the tires (links below).

This bright and cheerful album makes the perfect keepsake for this special year. Add photos of a local festival, a parade, a neighborhood party, a BBQ, backyard games, an afternoon on the lake, boating, the beach, an amazing fireworks display, and fun with your family and friends!

Check out these cute pages! On the left, I made a flippie with a 3x4 journaling card. Open that up and there's a colorful hot air balloon underneath and space for 2 photos. On the right, I created a pocket with journaling cards / photo mats tucked inside. It's also a great spot for saving memorabilia.
