Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album - Part 2

Hey guys! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. A few weeks ago, I shared how I designed the cover of my Build A Snowman Winter Mini Album. Today, I'm back to show you some of the super cute pages inside. I created this with Doodlebug's 6x8 Mini Album in swimming pool and the adorable Winter Wonderland Collection (product links below).

Winter scrapbook album page with 2 folding cards, snow, mountains, and a wood cabin

This is the first page and it's 1 of 5 chipboard tabbed dividers included in the album. I covered it in the pretty purple 12x12 Frosted Forest print and added a strip of the Cozy Cardigan plaid paper on top. 

Next, I created two flippies out of white cardstock and 3x4 cards from the other side of the Cozy Cardigan print. I love that these can hold 4 photos on this one mini album page!

Here are pages 2 and 3. These winter colors, patterned papers, and sweet little characters are the cutest.

For page 2, I created a fold-out element on the backside of the tabbed divider. I covered the front of the flap in the floral Nightfall paper and added the polar bear die cut from the Odd & Ends. Then, I created another fun flippie with the 3x4 Hello card and added that along the edge.

Inside the flap, I used the Snow Wonder snowflake paper, a pretty pink die cut from the Odds & Ends, and adhered the 3x4 Let It Snow card to the backside of the Hello card flippie.

On the right, I added the striped Just Chillin' paper, then created a photo mat out of the blue side of the Nightfall print. I finished the page with the adorable moose die cut. ... I just love her sassy side grin. :)

Page 3 is one of four pocket pages that come in the album ready to embellish. I covered the front with the cute snowmen print (Just Chillin') and added the Baby It's Cold Outside sticker from the This & That sheet.

Inside the pocket, I added a few photo mats but you could also save journaling cards and memorabilia here. Add tickets, postcards, notes, invitations, a small map, a recipe, greeting cards, an itinerary, a brochure, etc.

Here is page 4. It's a great layout for one fabulous photo. I used the Yeti for Winter paper in the background and layered a strip of the Snow Wonder snowflakes on top. I made 2 photo mats from the Frosted Forest print and embellished with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat.

The album includes 10 assorted clear page protectors and above is one divided into four 3x4 spaces. I added two cute cards from the Cozy Cardigan print and two mats for photos.

I think page 6 may be filled with every one of the adorable winter animals in this collection! That cute background paper is called Snow Cozy. I added 2 photo mats on top and a happy Yeti die cut.

Above is 1 of 4 colorful card stock pages that also come in the album. I folded it in half to create an interactive fold-out page and added some cute Odds & Ends, making sure to leave room for a photo.

Flip that up and there are 3 more photo mats inside made from the polka dot paper called Hit The Slopes and white cardstock. 

I hope I've given you a few fun ideas on how to decorate these wonderful 6x8 Mini Albums. Next time, I'll show you even more pages from this winter scrapbook. Until then, happy crafting!

It's so beautiful with a sophisticated color palette and really lovely watercolor images.

On the cover, I added lots of pretty details. The deer, some snowflakes, and the "100% chance of snow" are actually rub-ons, which are so fun! Then, I also added stickers and glittery enamel dots.

I wrapped the front cover with a powder blue gingham ribbon and added a white acrylic snowflake as a finishing touch. Perfect!

Winter Snowman Scrapbook Album with Lori Whitlock

Hey friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's January 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 made this SNOW scrapbook mini album that's perfect for saving winter photos. I used one of Lori's cutting files called Snowman Gift Bag (link below) to create the cute little snowman on the cover.

I created the base of the covers out of white acrylic but, you can easily use cardstock or chipboard instead.

First, I made a back cover using a rounded rectangle shape in my Silhouette software and resized it to 10.5" x 4". Then, I resized the letters S, N, and W (Impact Font) so they would fit within my back cover shape.

Next, I used Lori's adorable snowman as the O in SNOW, sizing it to fit in the space. I welded each of the letters and the base of the snowman together to create my front cover. Then, I had fun decorating it with the Doodlebug Design, Let It Snow and Candy Cane Lane Collections.

I love this snowman and since he was the inspiration for this album, I couldn't wait to decorate him. I cut the rest of his pieces out of cardstock and added enamel dots for his eyes, pink cheeks, and buttons. So cute!

Here's a look at a few pages inside the album ...

I covered each of the cardstock pages in colorful 12x12 and 6x6 pattern papers. I added different sized photo mats for interest and embellished with stickers and die cuts (links below).

Baby, it IS cold outside!! So, it's a great time to stay inside and create something fun with Lori's SVG files.

I hope you like this SNOW mini album and Lori's sweet little snowman that inspired it. I love thinking outside the box and using her files in surprising ways. This snowman started as a cute embellishment on a gift bag and now he's the O on my scrapbook cover. 💕
