Americana Summer Scrapbook Album Project Kit

Hello again friends!  I'm back to share my second new kit for this week!  Yesterday I introduced my first scrapbook project kit for this week here , and this is the second.  This project uses a brand new mini album by Simple Stories called Sn@p Simple chipboard binder.  It's a binder album with a white grid cover, 10 4x6" page protectors, and it measures 6.5 x 7".  I paired it with the gorgeous new collection from Carta Bella called Americana Summer.  

I love the red, white, and blue colors in this album, but don't just think 4th of July! Although it's perfect for Independence Day, this album can be used for any summer memories, including BBQs, trips to a farm, a picnic, a nautical vacation, home with family and friends, anything!  Plus, you're sure to have photos this summer since the United States will be celebrating its Semiquincentennial—the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! 🇺🇸

The chipboard album comes with ten 4x6 plastic page protectors, but I wanted some larger, more substantial pages in the book so I included 8 cardstock pages.  Two of the pages are fold outs and two are pockets, and there are also 4 interactive flippies.  Lots of space for at least 35 photos!

Isn't the deep navy pretty with the red and lighter shades of blue?  The flowers are also beautiful and the sticker icons are perfect for this Americana summer theme.  

So set your alarm on Friday morning so that you don't miss out on the two latest scrapbook album project kits!!  They both a so unique and different that I have a feeling both will selll quickly!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! and Happy crafting!!

Memories Together Scrapbook Album Project Kit with Bella Blvd

Happy Tuesday friends!  I'm excited to be sharing my latest Bella Blvd design team project today!  I love this one so much, that I decided to offer it as one of two new kits that will be available in my shop this Friday!  I'll feature the second one here on the blog tomorrow, so be sure to stop by again to check that one out!

For this adorable mini album I used the colorful Bella Blvd Documented collection, and paired it with a brand new Artsy Albums acrylic album!  Well, kind of new ...my scallop edge acrylic mini album is super popular in the clear version, so I've added it to the shop in white acrylic!  Look how fun the scallop edge looks with those colorful 1" circle punches!!

This scrapbook album kit comes with pre cut pattern paper and cardstock, ephemera icon die cuts, ribbon and the acrylic cover.  It has 12 layered card stock pages, including 2 fold out pages, 1 pocket, 3 flippies, and space for at least 24 photos.  

The colors are bright and happy and will be perfect for complimenting everyday moments with friends or family, a celebration, a trip, college life, outdoor adventures, really, anything!

You'll need a 1" circle punch for the project because you'll want to add those adorable circles to the scallop edge of the album.  It truly does make this mini unique, colorful, and one that you'll want to display for all to see (you may also want to get my acrylic album stand (see photo below) to make it look extra cute on a shelf, desk, or table)!

The Documented collection by Bella Blvd is amazing!  It's versatility and combination of colorful patterns, tone-on-tone solids, and adorable embellishments make it a collection I go to time and time again.  So visit the shop this Friday to pick up your DIY Memories Together scrapbook album project kit, the acrylic stand, and maybe an extra white scallop edge acrylic album!  Remember, my scrapbook kits are perfect for traveling, packing for a crop, or assembling on a day when you lack a little creativity. 

Happy crafting everyone!!

I Love Summer Scrapbook Project Album kit

Happy Friday friends!  Today I added a brand new scrapbook album project kit to my shop!  This album kit is colorful, packed with summer fun, and sure to get you feeling groovy about the upcoming summer months!  I used the Echo Park Paper collection called Groovy Summer by Lori Whitlock and it is amazing!

The scrapbook album kit is packed with interactive pages, pockets, my signature flippies and perfect icons and patterns for all the summer vibes!  Don't you love the groovy little van?  It reminds me of a retro 1960's VW "beach bus".  I want one!  And I want the pink, and the flowers, and all the things painted on the sides!  Yes please!

Let's take a peek inside!

Here is one of the fold out pages, complete with flip-flops, sunshine, and adorable retro roller skates!  The colors in this collection are bright and happy ... just like summer should be!

This page actually has TWO flippies ... one that folds out and one that flips up so that you can add 3 photos on this one 6x8 page.  Lot's of space for beach, pool, popsicle, boom box memories!  And since everything in the kit is pre cut for you, you'll have so much fun putting it together!  No wondering whether you've cut the 12x12 sheet correctly ... we've made it easy!

This page has a fun pocket for tucking in a journaling card.  And I'm loving the pink background pattern and colorful retro flowers!  CUTE!

Peace, Love, and Cherries 🍒!  And the page to the right is a pocket!  Here are few fun ideas for memorabilia that you could tuck inside!

• Travel Documents: Hotel key cards, boarding passes, and custom luggage tags from vacations.
• Event Admission: Ticket stubs from concerts, baseball games, or outdoor movies.
• Nature Finds: Pressed flowers or leaves from a summer garden, or small sand-filled vials and flat seashells.
• Dining Memories: Coasters from beachfront cafes, sugar packets, or labels from summer treats like local fudge or ice cream

Well I hope this brand new scrapbook album project kit will be a groovy addition to your album collection!  I know you'll enjoy putting it together, and documenting this summer's (or a past summer's) special memories!

Happy crafting friends!

Adventure Awaits Acrylic Album with Bella Blvd

Hi friends! Happy Saturday!!  I'm back with another new project for this week.  I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design team project and this one is super fun!  I was challenged to use the fabulous Time to Travel collection (LOVE! ❤️) but! I could only focus on three colors!  Yay!  This girl loves a good challenge, so I pulled out all of my Time to Travel product and decided on blue, aqua, and yellow ... or in Bella's world, blueberry, gulf, and bell pepper!! 📘🐬🌼

From the minute this collection was introduced, I fell in love!  I love a good travel line and this one is totally in my wheel house -- fabulous color, fun icons, amazing ephemera ... yes please! I wanted to showcase the patterns (but remember, I could only use three colors 😳) so I chose to use one of my acrylic albums called Acrylic Waterfall Album so that we could see the color combo.  

I layered each of the pages with a pattern from the collection ... focusing my choices on the prints that were more blueberry, gulf, or bell pepperish (if you know, you know, lol).  On the page above, I covered the white cardstock with the In The Clouds print ... I could not love this more.  Do you see those tiny stars and dot clusters?  And that teeny pop of red?  Ssshhhhh!  I wasn't suppose to add another color 😳.

If you're familiar with my mini albums, you know I add pockets and flippies to every single one ... so here's a cute pocket, covered in the adorable Love This Place print and some ephmera icons popped on front and photo mats tucked inside.  

Finally, I snuck in a pattern that was a little more colorful, but I think it totally works with this challenge.  Those adorable little icons from the On The Go sheet are too cute!  It might be my favorite sheet in the pack. Combined with some ephemera word and icon pieces, and I think my travel memories are ready for documenting!

I hope this project has given you a few fun ideas for saving your own travel memories with the Bella Time to Travel collection!

Happy crafting!!

NEW Scrapbook Page Kits for Winter and Spring!

Happy Friday friends!  Hopefully you saw my brand new winter page layout kit on Wednesday ... and today I'm introducing a second kit for this week!  That's right!  Two new 12x12 page kits are in the shop today and this second one is spring themed.  I could not be more in love with the colors, patterns and flowers in this one!  Check it out!

So pretty right?  For this 6-page kit I used a combination of Doodlebug Butterfly Kisses and Bunny Hop.  I stuck to a spring theme, instead of Easter for this one, and chose papers from both collections, and Odds & Ends from Butterfly Kisses.  

The die cut pieces in the Butterfly Kisses collection are so pretty!  Birds, flowers, bees, and so many sweet smiling faces.  These pages will be perfect for any sunshine, garden, family or friends spring memories!  

On one of the pages, I added a cute little pocket.  Perfect for holding some tags for extra photos or journaling!  

And it wouldn't be an Artsy Albums kit without a flippie!  So this pretty little card lifts up to reveal space for two photos.  

Ooooo!  Stripes and flowers!  Yes please!  These six pages have space for 25 photos, and several journaling spots so you can document those warmer weather memories!

I just love this page with all of the adorable flowers, birds, butterflies, and that cute little frog!  I can't wait to save pictures of my grandkids on this page!

Well, be sure to visit the shop today before my new kits sell out!  I always get requests for 12x12 kits so today you get two!  

Happy crafting my friends!

Acrylic Sunny Spring Album with Doodlebug

Hello friends! Happy spring!  Despite the pollen, I'm loving everything about this change in seasons and the beautiful flowers are my favorite part!  That may be one reason I was inspired to add lots of pretty flowers to the cover of my latest acrylic mini.  

For this album, I used the Bunny Hop collection and one of my Artsy Albums acrylic albums.  This is my tabbed album and all of the pages are clear, so it was perfect for layering all of the Bunny Hop prints and die cuts.  For the cover, I added some floral pieces from the Bits and Pieces and topped them with shape sprinkles called Hello Spring.  Look at the pretty shine in the photo below!

I love the Hello Sunshine doodle-pops so it deserved a spot front and center on the cover! Doesn't that little smiling face just make you happy?

The photo above allows you to see all of the pretty layered prints on the clear pages. The photo below shows how I layered the bubblegum pink side of the May Flowers sheet with the adorable dot print called Spot of Spring.  A few odds & ends die cuts finish up the page and look so sweet next to the colorful photo mat. 

My favorite sheet in this collection is the May Flowers print, so I cut a larger piece for the next page and layered another Spot of Spring photo mat on top.  The tab sticker from the This and That stickers adds a pop of bright bubblegum pink to the page, and I just love that basket of flowers.  I want to find one just like it for my house!

I included a sheet of Lily white wood grain petite prints on the next page so that I would have a neutral base for more flowers and the adorable journaling card.  I made the card a flippie so it actually lifts up to reveal 2 photo mats underneath.  That cute sunshine is an icon sticker!

To take advantage of the clear pages, I only added photo mats to the next page.  The same size photo mats are on the back of this page so that you can see the prints on the last page showing through.  Each of the tabs also has a sticker from the This and That sheet to add fun color across the top of the album.

Well I hope all of these pretty colors, sunshiny embellishments, and beautiful flowers have inspired you to create something pretty with Bunny Hop today!  

Until next time, happy crafting!

NEW!! 12x12 Winter Snow Page Kit

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of a new 12x12 page layout kit that will be in my shop on Friday!  I know that it's springtime, but something tells me you still have winter memories to document!  These pretty pages will be perfect for snow, travel, skiing, mittens, snowmen, and any other freezin' season pictures you have!

This 6-page DIY scrapbook album kit was designed with both Bella Blvd and Doodlebug product.  The paper and Ephemera icons are Snowflake Season by Bella, and the Chit Chat and stickers are Doodlebug Winter Wonderland.  

The kit has 6 pages, 3 coordinating double page layouts and space for 30 photos!  Each page is designed to focus on the photos, but incorporates the beautiful colors and patterns in Bella's Snowflake Season collection.  

With a few Doodlebug accents thrown in, the colors in these lines work together perfectly and will highlight all of your winter, snowman, snowflake falling, skiing, bundled up baby photos and more!

Do you have a picture of the first snowfall of the season and how pretty the powdery white looked on your house?  How about photos from some of these fun memories:

• a winter vacation, a mountain cabin, an Alaskan cruise, or a weekend in the city
• snow covered landscapes
• a crisp winter hike
• fun in the snow, building a snowman, or making snow angels
• a winter family photo shoot
• skiing, sledding, snowboarding, tubing, or ice skating 
• a cozy afternoon scrapping with friends
• playing games with the littles
• an afternoon of baking
• a backyard bonfire with s'mores
• a special event like a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or holiday 
• and simple everyday moments with family and friends

I will have a limited supply of these so if you want one, set your alarm on Friday morning as I won't be able to restock these!

Happy crafting my friends!!

NEW! 12x12 Disney Themed Scrapbook Layout Kit

Hey guys, who's ready for a peek at this week's new kit that will be in my shop tomorrow? It's titled Me and The Mouse and has EIGHT colorful Disney themed 12x12 scrapbook layouts! I had so much fun designing these with the vintage Mickey and Minnie Mouse, balloons, cute flowers, a castle, stars, and polka dots. They're perfect for theme park photos, fun vacations, and sweet everyday memories. ❤️

I made them with the Simple Stories, Happiest Place Collection, which I also used in my 6x8 inch Happiest Memories Scrapbook Album. I still have a few of those available in my shop if you have lots of photos and need more space.

If you visited a Disney theme park for spring break, or ... have a fun vacation planned for later this year, these layouts are a great place to save your photos.

But they're not just for Disney vacations! These layouts can also be used for birthday parties or baby showers. With space for 27 pictures, there's room for pictures of friends, family, decorations, food, a fabulous cake, games, and gifts. You can also use them for new baby photos, a nursery, and special "first" moments.

Look how cute! I made a flippie with a 4x6 card that has space inside for 2 photos. I just love the castle in the background, Minnie Mouse flirting with Mickey, and the fireworks exploding overhead. 

If you're a huge fan and just love all things Disney, you could really use these layouts for pictures of anything. Add memories of fun with your kids, grandkids, and everyday shenanigans. 😉

I included lots of places to journal so you can add details like, dates, names, the location, an event, funny sayings, and great stories of the fun you had.

And to all my scrapbooking friends out there that love to attend crops ... my kits make fun and convenient projects to take along! Almost everything you need to create these 8 scrapbook pages is included and organized by page. All you need to bring is the adhesive and a paper trimmer or scissors. That's it! What a great way for beginners or experienced scrapbookers to jumpstart their next project.

I hope you love my NEW 12x12 Me and The Mouse 8-Page Kit as much as I do. These cute layouts make an amazing addition to any album and highlight your fun Disney themed memories beautifully! Be sure to visit my shop tomorrow to get yours. Until then, have a wonderful day! 😊
