Favorite Family Recipes Scrapbook Album

Hey friends! Today, I'm sharing my newest addition to the shop ... a mini album kit titled Favorite Family Recipes.

It could also be an amazing handmade gift for your daughter, mom, a friend, or a bridal shower!

Family Favorite Recipes Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with the Carta Bella, Home Sweet Home Collection by Carina Gardner. There are aprons, kitchen utensils, baked goodies, strawberries, and a pretty mix of red, pink, aqua, and tan.

On the cover, I tied a big bow and added some cute metal kitchen utensil charms. I also included a few tags, some buttons, and twine.

 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 flippies, 2 pocket pages, and space for at least 20 photos. I've also added 12 clear divided page protectors for storing 48 of your own 4x6 recipe cards!

 
This project makes a wonderful keepsake for memories of your family's traditional holiday meals and favorite recipes. The Thanksgiving turkey, the fish on Christmas eve, or the corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day ... photograph your family traditions and save those wonderful memories in this fabulous recipe album.

Want to pass down a few family favorites to your daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, or a new bride? Give them to her in this handmade keepsake that she will cherish forever. 

If your recipes are disorganized and floating around in a box, put them in a wonderful book that makes searching for a family favorite easy and more enjoyable! Hop over to my shop and get your Favorite Family Recipes Album Kit today. 😊

Update: This kit has sold out but the instructions are available in my shop. They are simple, step-by-step, and include full color photos of each page. Links for the instructions and the products used are below. Happy scrappin'!

Doodlebug Calendar with Daily Doodles

Today's project:  2016 Daily Doodles Calendar
Created For:  Doodlebug Designs

Hi friends!  I'm super excited about a new project that I have posted over at Doodlebug Designs today.   It uses a brand NEW Doodlebug product AND lots of fun collections from throughout 2015.  Do you have some left over Doodlebug scraps or, do you wish you had a reason to use some of this year's adorable collections?  If so, I have a perfect project for you :)

When Doodlebug recently introduced Daily Doodles I was thrilled!  I'm a calendar girl.  I love documenting birthdays, holidays, fun family events, etc. so a calendar is a really fun project for me.

With Daily Doodles, and lots of this year's Doodlebug collection scraps, I was able to create a really fun calendar for 2016.

I kept the scrapbook pages VERY simple, and plan to focus on filling in the fun calendar next year.  Seriously ... how fun will this be with stickers, journaling, and adding dates and events, and little 2x2 pictures!!  I can't wait!  Here are a few pictures of my starting point:

There is a scrapbook page for each month (note: after the year is over I will slide these pages into a 12x12 scrapbook album!) and a Daily Doodles calendar page for each month .... 

How fun is this!!  I can't wait until 2016 so I can start filling it in!  I'm going to add family and friend photos to birthday squares, cute Doodlebug stickers on major events (like the Santa on Dec 25 above) and lots of adorable embellishments "just because" ... 

Hope you have fun with Daily Doodles too and either use up your scraps OR use this as an excuse to go get all of those Doodlebug collections from earlier this year!! 

Happy Scrapping!

Dec. 25th Christmas Album and 12x12 Layout Kits

Hello everyone! Christmas will be sneaking up on us before we know it so today, I've added two NEW Christmas kits to the shop! I have a 6x8 inch mini album titled Dec. 25th Claus & Co. and a 12x12 inch page layout kit titled Christmas Memories. Both projects are beautiful and perfect for highlighting your pictures.

I designed this album to be bigger and better than ever! I used the new Simple Stories Holiday Sn@p binder and the beautiful Claus and Co. paper collection. The chipboard binder album is approx. 6"x8" with 2" binding rings. The big green bow and red sleigh bell added just the right holiday touch.

Inside, there are 14 scrapbook pages (7 double-sided) that include 1 fold-out page, 2 pockets, and 1 flippie. It also has 13 double-sided divided plastic photo sleeves giving this album space for over 68 photos in total.  

This wonderful Christmas scrapbook makes an amazing keepsake for your holiday memories of family gatherings, decorating the Christmas tree, special dinners, baking cookies, Christmas parties, opening gifts, a visit with Santa Claus, a church event, and Christmas day. 

The album is available in my shop as a simple and fun scrapbook album kit. It's also available preassembled and ready for photos or gift giving. It makes a fabulous holiday craft project AND a super thoughtful handmade gift idea (think of a hostess for a party or Christmas day!).

Up next, my 12x12 Christmas Memories Layout Kit ...

Just like the album, I designed these layouts with the Simple Stories Claus and Co. Collection. I love it with its traditional colors, Santa Clause, holly berries, string lights, stars, ornaments, presents, and polka dots.

These 8 scrapbook pages (4 double-page layouts) have space for 26 photos and would make a great addition to any album.

Add holiday pictures of your beautifully decorated home, a fabulous show, a lights festival, church or school event, a cookie swap, a gingerbread house, caroling with friends, wrapping gifts, and Christmas day.

I always create my albums and layouts with acid-free, photo-safe supplies so your pictures will be safe here.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year and making fun new memories with my family and friends. I hope you enjoy these two NEW holiday kits and saving your fabulous photos. 

Hop over to my shop next to see more kits, premades, instructions, supplies, and shirts. Thanks for visiting the blog and happy scrapping! 😊

Lori Whitlock October Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Welcome to Lori Whitlock's October Blog Hop. If you just hopped on at my blog, be sure to head back over to Lori's site for more great ideas. The Creative Team has lots of fun projects to share with you and you won't want to miss them!

For my project, I created Lori's new 5x5 Leaves Gatefold Card with a sweet matching gift box (links for both below). And to make them, I used Lori's fall paper collection from Echo Park called "The Story of Fall".

I used Lori's Happy Fall phrase (link below) to create a 'print & cut' for the inside. I LOVE the design!

 

 

Update: Since "The Story of Fall" collection is older & has been discontinued, I've added some similar product links below as a substitute. Happy Scrapping!
