You Bake Me Happy Scrapbook Instructions

I first imagined this as a sweet friendship album for photos of you and your friends enjoying coffee, lunch at a cafe, a day at the spa, sharing a bottle of wine, or a girls night out. 

But really, it's perfect for ANY relationship. It would make a really thoughtful gift for mom on Mother's Day with special photos of the two of you. Or ... fill it with pictures of the littles and make it an adorable brag book!

 

It would be great for Valentine's Day, too! Add photos of you and your sweetie and document your love story. 

 

What about pictures of fun memories with your sister or your daughter? Include this in her next college care package, filled with special pictures from home. What a great surprise! Or let her add her own photos of friends or sorority sisters.

 

This would make a cute birthday or bridal shower gift. Fill it with family recipes or photos and your present will be the favorite! I've added 3 pockets with recipe or journaling cards. You could use these to make notes, write fun memories or simply add photos to them. Pockets are wonderful for saving other memorabilia like tickets, invitations and other mementos.

 

 

These instructions are step-by-step and include full color photos of each page. I've included all the measurements in my instructions. This album was designed with the adorable Doodlebug Design, Made With Love Collection and I've added the product links below to make shopping easy for you.

New! Sea and Sand Scrapbook Album

Hello friends and happy Friday! Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day (yay!) and today, I have a great new album to celebrate. It's titled "Sea and Sand" and it's perfect for soooo many photos. While I was making it, my mind was thinking of all the great picture ideas you could add to it. I have a bunch to share with you ...

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Sea and Sand Album Instructions

Summer is fast approaching and since this album has a wonderful nautical theme ... it would be awesome for boating photos. If you spend time on the water - ocean or lake, have your own boat or enjoy the occasional sailing excursion this would be perfect. Your past, present or future photos can be saved right here!

What about the beach?! Photos of an afternoon, a long weekend or an entire week long beach vacation would be great saved here. The sunshine, long walks, collecting seashells, building sand castles, being lazy under an umbrella and floating in the calm water - what a great time with family and friends. Don't forget the fruity cocktails! 

What about a trip to the lake, renting a cabin, boating and enjoying some fishing? This would make a thoughtful handmade gift for someone who has a lake house, beach house or just loves the nautical theme. It could also be used for Coast Guard, Navy or Marine Corps photos. Or ... maybe a nautical themed birthday or retirement party!

Have you taken a cruise or have one planned? This would be ideal for your nautical inspired photos, whale watching, lounging by the pool, shore excursions, fun on-board activities and your seaside dinners or entertaining shows. There's even a pocket for memorabilia like tickets, brochures or extra pics.

Have you visited a lighthouse on your travels? The stairs are exhausting but the view is amazing! Once you're at the top, catch your breath and take some pictures. You'll be so glad you did. 

Update: This album has sold out but I've added the links for the Instructions and the products used below. My instructions are simple, step-by-step and include measurements and full color photos of each page. Happy scrappin'!

Mushroom Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hey guys! I have the cutest project to share with you today. I made a mushroom shaped mini album!! How cute is that? It might be my favorite shaped one so far and Doodlebug's Fairy Garden collection was perfect! The sweet little fairies, the pretty colors, and the adorable patterns ... I'm so in love. Take a look ...

I created the album's shape using a Doodlebug cut file from the Fairy Garden collection called Fairy House #2. I offset the base shape to create 5 white page backgrounds and then had lots of fun layering on pattern papers from the 12x12 sheets.

 

 

I had so much fun with the cover. I love the fairies and used foam tape behind the two at the top to make them look like they're flying. I added a glitter sprinkle for the door knob, more dot sprinkles to the centers of the flowers, and then ... some cute bugs. 

 

Check out the tiny wreath on the door! I made it out of an icon sticker and some teensy flowers from the Birds & Bugs sprinkles. Doesn't every front door need a welcoming wreath? 

 

I added some cute 12x12 prints to each page and a photo mat for small pictures. I made all the mats the same size and shape for consistency. I used a 3.5" scallop circle punch and layered a 3" circle on top of that.

 

 

Mixing the pretty prints from this Fairy Garden Collection is a no brainer since they all go together beautifully. So bee-hive with mushrooms? Yep. Dots and flowers? Of course! Clouds, hearts, plaids, graph design, sunshiny faces? Yes, bring it on ... the more the merrier!

 

Now for the embellishments! I used a combination of odds & ends, icon stickers, chit chat pieces, and my favorite ... the fun little sprinkles!

 

 

Foam tape is such a great tool. I love that it gives dimension to the pages and makes the cute little bugs and fairies look like they're hovering over the page.

 

This mini is perfect for spring photos, playing outside, gardening, and a visit to the park. We could all use a little more sunshine these days! 🌞

 

 

Oh, I love this pink page! This is what my mushroom house would look like if I was a 2 inch fairy ... bright pink with pretty flowers next to my tiny wooden door. Love it!

 

Can you tell I had fun making this one?! I think the Fairy Garden collection has become one of my all-time favorite Doodlebug lines! 

 

So, what could this lil mushroom house inspire me to create next? What else do the fairies need? Maybe a cute garden with a picket fence! Hmmmm ... stay tuned. 😉
