NEW! Home For The Holidays Christmas Scrapbook

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited to introduce today's new kit titled Home for the Holidays. It's a brand new style of mini album that I've never made before. With this kit, you'll actually get to build the entire thing from covers to pages. It's simple, super creative, and so much fun! It was inspired by a beautiful project we made at She Loves Color that was designed by Page Evans.

I created this with the Bella Blvd, North Pole Collection and it's filled with polar bears, snow globes, Santa Claus, reindeer, and lots of holiday icons. I even added 3 cute custom acrylic charms down the side!

The album is 4x6 inches and the cover is made of a pretty snowflake clear acetate. Just underneath is a red folding card that has a snow globe with a cute outdoor scene. Perfect for two of your favorite photos.

Inside there are 3 sections, or booklets that attach to the cover with elastic string. It also has ... 48 pages packed with colorful tabs, 2 fold-outs, lots of cute die cuts, 2 pockets, 3 interactive flippies, cards, tags, and ribbon poppin' out the top! Whew, that's a lot of goodies.

And, look what I made ... 2 little snow globe flippies! They fold down so you can add small photos inside. Not gonna lie ... might be my favorite part of the album. Lol!

Here's a sweet "Beary Christmas" card for more photos that can be removed and slid right back into place. 

This adorable pocket is great for tickets, gift tags, notes, photos, or room keys. And the blue tag is a perfect spot to list dates, what you're grateful for, an event, or your location.

Add photos of a winter vacation, a pretty snowfall, building a snowman, crazy holiday sweaters, fun with friends, a party, caroling, baking cookies, a church or school event, and Christmas morning.

Pink for Christmas ... Yessss! Isn't it pretty? I love the mix with the red poinsettia flowers, green holly, and those teeny tiny pink hearts.

I can't wait to hear what you think of this new style of mini album. Keep it for yourself or ... give it as a sweet handmade Christmas or hostess gift.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting!

Monster Madness Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hello my sweet friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a new Halloween scrapbook titled Monster Madness and the instructions are available in my shop! This mini is filled with bright colors, silly faces, and tons of amazing stickers. Yessss, I love stickers. It's so much fun to make and ... it's the perfect place to save your holiday photos.

Monster Madness Scrapbook Instructions

I used one of my custom 8x8 Square Circle Window Albums in black and I designed it with Doodlebug's Monster Madness Collection and Shadow Box Insert Kit (product links below). Have you had a chance to use one of these Insert Kits yet? All the Doodlebug collections have them and they are SO much fun!! 

The kit comes with a circle template, card stock, vellum and tons of colorful stickers. This one has pumpkins, candy, ghosts, worms, and such goofy monsters. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it and when you remove the template ... voila! Halloween cuteness!

 

Inside, there are rainbow colors and lots of fun die cuts to highlight your fun photos. I can just see pictures of the pumpkin patch, a school party, a parade, baking holiday cookies, the littles in their costumes, trick-or-treating, and all the candy they collected added to these pages.

 

There are 12 pages in this album that include 2 fold-outs, 1 pocket, space for 24 photos, and 2 adorable flippies like the one above. Who could ever be superstitious about this black kitty? Look at her sweet face! 

 

Ok my friends ... is there any wonder why I love the enamel shape sprinkles so much?! Look how fabulous and cute and shiny and fun they are!! 

 

I embellished this page with 3 tags and chunky black twine. I think they add so much with their cute images and pretty colors. That plaid! Obsessed. I also added a few yellow enamel dots because ... I love them.

 

Here's a page that has lots of room for photos. Add memories of a haunted house, a fall festival, a carnival, or your Halloween decorations ... inside and out! Check out the enamel dots on the tires above. More cuteness.

No Artsy Albums album is complete without a handy dandy pocket so ... here it is! This one is filled with journaling cards so you can list your fun activities, spooky stories you told, books you read, movies you watched, and goodies you made. You can also add tickets, greeting cards, or extra photos to it.

 

Above is one of two fold-out pages. The right side with the circles opens up to display 3 photo mats and some lively little monsters. The orange one with 4 arms and crooked smile cracks me up.

I love this colorful Monster Madness Collection. It's so fun to play with. Literally, creating this album feels like playing! 

If you'd like to create this scrapbook, the acrylic album and instructions are in my shop (links below). I also have some other themes using Doodlebug's Shadow Box Insert Kits like  Home/Family, Disney, Baby, and Recipe. Happy scrappin'!

Trick or Treat Halloween Album and Layouts

Guess what! Yesterday, I found 2 retired kits that were never put on my blog. I have no idea why, but ... they're too cute not to share! AND I've listed the instructions for them in my shop so you can recreate them! Both are titled Trick or Treat and made with Doodlebug's Booville Collection. One is an album kit and the other is a 12x12 six page layout kit. Take a look ...

 

To purchase the instructions to make this album visit:

Trick-Or-Treat Scrapbook Instructions

For the scrapbook, I decorated the cover using die cuts from the Odds and Ends, the 12x12 paper called Pick-A-Pumpkin, and for the green slime ... a Martha Stewart punch called Drippy Goo. Such a good punch!

I also used cards and envelopes throughout the entire album. They're from the Halloween assortment and they make awesome flippies and creative places to store photos and memorabilia. I decorated the card above with a rainbow Halloween die cut and a cute little kitty sticker.

Here are 2 flippies that would be perfect for photos of your littles all dressed up on Halloween night. 

There are 6 pocket pages in this mini. Yeah, six! I included journaling cards/photo mats in each one. Above, I gave one of them a scalloped circle tab that I made using a 1.5" scalloped circle punch and a 1.25" circle punch. The orange card was part of the cards and envelope assortment and I simply embellished it.

I love the purple haunted house flippie and the die cuts used to decorate this fun page. Notice the clear acetate spider web in the background? Those are so awesome and part of the Odds and Ends as well.

There are 2 folding pages in the album with all kinds of goodies tucked in behind them. There are more spider webs, a pretty shaped flippie, and a spider hanging from twine.

My instructions include color photos of every single page and honestly, each page is better than the next. Really. There are so many creative scrapbooking ideas in this album that could be replicated with ANY collection. 

Next up ... 6 Trick or Treat 12x12 Layouts!

Trick-Or-Treat Layout Instructions

If you're a scrapper that loves a more traditional sized 12x12 album ... I have something for you too! These layouts use Doodlebug's Booville Collection also and would be such a great addition to any album.

This little row of houses is adorable! Look closely ... they have googly eyes peeking out the windows, ghosts & spiders hangin' around, and smiling pumpkins on the front porches. Doodlebug's details are crazy good.

I used lots of die cuts from the Odds and Ends, stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet and the 12x12 prints on these pages. I love the ghost print above called Fa-boo-lous.

These layouts would be amazing filled with photos of Halloween night, trick-or-treating, a party, pumpkin patch, school costume parade, or pictures from a haunted house. And check out the scalloped border sticker along the bottom with the rainbow colored dots!

The instructions for these 6 pages are simple, step-by-step, and also include color photos of each page. Since both of these kits were created and retired prior to last year, they do not include the measurements. However, they are filled with great ideas and are easy to replicate.
