You & Me Scrapbook with Doodlebug's French Kiss

Years ago, I started creating a series of mini albums called "You and Me". These document the love story I share with my husband. We were high school sweethearts, so the first book goes back to the 80's ... yikes! Maybe I should post pictures of that one on my blog someday, lol! :)

Doodlebug's French Kiss collection reminded me of those albums. Creating a new mini with these bright, adorable papers was so fun and it makes a great project idea for Valentine's Day! I've added a video below to see all the fun details.

 

I love a sturdy album so this cover is made with 4 layers of chipboard. Those two cuties on the bike with the precious pup ... adorable! Doodlebug has the best die cuts. I added a few tiny heart sprinkles on the wheels for extra cuteness and I created the "You & Me" title with my Silhouette software.

 

 

The colors in this collection are so pretty! I love the pink, blue and red combination. I added some solid petite prints like the dot/stripe (in cupcake) above. The "Always & Forever" title is from the chit chat package.

I used papers from the 6x6 pad and 12x12 size. I also added in some clear acetate pages for a little something different. You can see those pages in the video below.

 

I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things you make with the French Kiss Collection! Be sure to tag #doodlebugdesigns and #artsyalbums so we can see!

Valentine Album with Simple Stories Kissing Booth

Hello friends! Recent family photos have been sitting on my desk just begging to be added to an album, and when I saw Simple Stories, Kissing Booth I didn't immediately think of these pictures. It's a beautiful Valentine collection, but my family photos were taken in the fall. Would it work? You bet! I'm thrilled with the way I was able to document family love and togetherness with these pretty papers!

I used a black 6x8 Snap album and incorporated black and white card stock in with the patterns. The die cuts are so pretty ... lots of flowers, hearts, and cute sayings that are perfect for Valentine's Day or general everyday family moments.

Even though I love the divided photo sleeves, I used more of the full 6x8 pages for this album. I enjoy creating full scrapbook pages, and with this size I don't have to commit to an entire 12x12 page.

In addition to bits & pieces die cuts, I also used chipboard, puffy stickers, and combo stickers throughout the album. And by the way, my granddaughter IS sweet, don't ya think? :)

I confess that the Feb. 14 chipboard doesn't match up with the photo I tucked into the pocket, but I loved the piece on this page.  I'll add Valentine photos of this little sweetie when I have some in a few weeks.
