12x12 Kitty Cat Love Scrapbook Layouts with Bella Blvd

Happy Friday scrappers! I have 2 exciting things to share with you today. First, I've added my brand NEW Travel Vibes Mini Album to the shop. This wonderfully generic scrapbook is great for your past, present, or future vacation photos to ... anywhere!

And second, it's time for my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project! I have 2 coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages that are filled with pretty colors and patterns. They're perfect for highlighting your sweet cat's photos.

I designed these with the adorable Meow Collection that has the cutest little images of kitties, paw prints, toys, hearts, flowers, and lots of fun pet supplies. This was perfect for highlighting photos of my daughter-in-laws adorable little cats, Eliot and Lucy.

To make these, I started with the beautiful 12x12 Pretty Kitty floral print as the base. Then, I added white card stock on top. Next, I cut out a bunch of 2" wide by 3" high diamond shapes from the colorful prints in the 12x12 Meow Collection Kit. I also added a few patterns from the 12x12 Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre in Cotton Candy and Gingham and Stripes in Bell Pepper.

I arranged the diamonds in a symmetrical pattern, leaving space in the bottom right corner for my photo and embellishments. Then, I created a photo mat with the blue 12x12 Fur Ball paper, added the "sweetest girl" die cut from the Ephemera Words, and the adorable kitties and paw prints from the Ephemera Icons. Oh wait! I almost forgot the cute little epoxy heart from the Cat Lover Stickers. I love those!

On the second layout, I continued the diamond shapes so they'd match up perfectly with the first page and made 3 more photo mats out of white card stock and the 12x12 Fur Ball paper. Then, I added the "sweetest boy" die cut from the Ephemera Words.

Below the diamond shapes, I created a playful scene with more die cuts from the Ephemera Icons and Ephemera Words, epoxy hearts from the Cat Lover Stickers, and the "you make my heart happy" sticker from the Doohickey.

Here's a photo of the 2 layouts side-by-side. I love all the fun colors and patterns in this collection and ... using so many diamond shapes allowed me to really show them off.

Thanks so much for visiting the blog today. I hope these pages inspire you to create something beautiful with the Meow Collection. Happy crafting! 😊

NEW! Travel Vibes Scrapbook Mini Album Kit

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday 🌞 Today, I'm sharing a peek inside my NEW Travel Vibes Mini Album that will be in the shop on Friday. Since June, July, and August are the most popular months to travel, I'd say the timing for this is perfect. School has ended, the weather is warm, and it's time for a vacation. Hello summer!

I designed this mini with a sunny yellow 6x8 inch binder by Doodlebug Design and the Simple Stories Happy Travels Collection. It's packed with great colors, fun travel icons, and space to journal about your adventures.

Here's a close-up of the cover. The stamp paper is so colorful and has airplanes, maps, skylines, hot air balloons, and globes. I also added some chipboard embellishments and cute enamel dots.

 

Inside, there are 22 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, 8 flippies, and space for 50++ photos on the layouts and in the clear page protectors. Lot's of space for your fun vacation memories.

This scrapbook is wonderfully generic so you can use it for ANY type of travel whether it's vacationing abroad, a road trip across country, a weekend adventure, a tropical vacation, a visit with family, a cruise, or ... exploring the world!

 

If you love to journal about your travels, this mini has space for fun stories or to just document the details. Add dates, location, names of hotels, the sights you saw and important facts about them, the people you traveled with, and any funny moments you want to remember.

The pocket page is perfect for saving those little mementos you pick up along the way, like ... postcards, hotel stationary, a matchbook, travel stickers, brochures, tickets, a small map, a menu from your favorite cafe, business cards, or foreign currency.

I'm loving all the colors on this fold-out page. The map paper inside is so fun! With a photo mat on the front flap and space inside for 3 more, this one page can hold 4+ pictures! 

The album is just 6x8 inches so you could tuck the completed scrapbook into your carry-on bag and treat it like a journal. In your downtime or on the flight home, document the memories of your amazing travels.

 

Whether you fly, drive, hop on a train, cruise, or explore by foot ... this album will help you record the best moments of your trip. What an amazing keepsake to have that tells the story of your travels.

The kit and the premade will be available in my shop on Friday. Thank you so much for visiting the blog and have a great day! 😊

Oven Shaped Mini Album with Lori Whitlock

Hi friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's May 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, I made a cute little oven shaped scrapbook using one of Lori's cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Oven (links below). It's perfect for saving a few recipes and fun memories from the kitchen. And, it would also make a unique gift idea for a baker or cook!

Just look how cute it is displayed on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. Wouldn't this be great sitting out in your kitchen filled with recipes, fun baking photos, or cooking memories? I decorated the album with Doodlebug's, Made with Love Collection but you could use ANY paper collection and match it to your home.

Here is Lori's awesome file. It comes with so many cute details on the front but I replaced a few of them with some mini icon stickers I found in the collection.

The album uses Lori's hidden binding technique to secure the pages. It's designed with plenty of space in between for adding papers, pop dots, and embellies. And the pages are sturdy and lay flat when closed!

For the base of the album, I used white card stock and for the front cover ... pistachio and mint (links below). 

I cut out 10 rectangular shapes, then sandwiched 2 pieces together on each spine fold to create the scrapbook pages. This gave me 5 double-sided pages in all.

Next, I decorated the front and back of each page with pattern paper, photo mats, and embellishments.

This mini is ideal for saving photos of baking with friends or the grandkids, cooking a special meal, your amazing food, your fabulous kitchen, and fun moments making recipes with family. 

And speaking of recipes, you could add those to this album as well! You could make a few pockets to tuck them into, or ... just add them to the photo mats in place of pictures.

This little Oven Shaped Mini Album was simple and so much fun! Lori has designed many of these Hidden Binding Shaped Albums and I love them all. I've made the ... suitcase, rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. I've even shared tutorials for them so be sure to click those links.

There are more wonderful projects to see today, so be sure to hop to each blog for more great ideas!
