I loved the Wild Thing Baby Album I made a few weeks ago so, I designed these cards with the same adorable Echo Park, Our Baby Collection. It's sweet and gender neutral. Perfect for cards! 

The kit will have the supplies to make 6 cards (size A2 or 4.25"x 5.5") and includes 6 white envelopes.

If you don't have a lot of free time, but still want to create a project ... these cards are the way to go! You can make them quickly and easily and they're a great way to give someone something handmade.

I love that these cards can be sent to a boy or girl. The colors, the cute animals, and the pattern papers all work for either gender.

This Baby Greeting Card Kit will be available in my shop this Friday along with 3 other kits but I will be sharing 2 others this week. Until then, have a great day!! 

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

Beautiful Memories Folio Scrapbook Album

Happy Friday everyone! I have something completely different and exciting for you today! It's titled Beautiful Memories and it's a brand new style of album that I've never used before. It's more like a folio!

This would be perfect for photos of everyday moments, family and friends, a spring bridal shower or a wedding, a birthday, your beautiful garden, or a visit to a butterfly farm. It would also make an amazing gift. It's wonderful for Mother's Day or as a thank you present for someone special.

To purchase the instructions for this project visit:

Beautiful Memories Scrapbook Instructions

I used the new Simple Stories, Life in Bloom Collection (links below) and it's gorgeous! It's filled with pretty shades of pink and aqua with a splash of black. There are lots of dreamy images of butterflies and flowers balanced with vintage pictures of 35mm cameras, film, and typewriter keys.

The album/folio is by Graphic 45 and it measures approx. 6.125" x 9" x 1.625". It reminds me of book box.

It ties closed on the side with a pretty gingham ribbon. The inside of the front cover and the first page both have magnets that also help keep it together. Isn't the cover beautiful? I love the tiny polka dots, flowers, and the butterflies that look like they're hovering over the paper.

When you open the cover, this is the first page you see. This is where the 2nd magnet is hidden. This print is gorgeous. The typewriter text in the background looks like an old page out of a book and the camera and flowers resemble a beautiful painting. 

The album is a little like a tri-fold. The cover opens to the left and the first page above, opens to the right.

This is the center space that's filled with lots of interactive elements. I'm holding one of the center pages. It's a pocket page and inside is a cream photo mat with a butterfly brad on the top. I love how the brad fits perfectly in the little cut out. Flip this page over and ...

... you'll see the back side of that pocket page. It has more space for photos and a pretty aqua butterfly. There are also additional smaller pocket pages with cards tucked inside for journaling or more pictures. 

To the right side of the photo above, you can see the very center part of the folio. It has 4 flaps that lift up, down, to the right and to the left. I'm telling you ... this is like peeling a super beautiful onion with layers of pages and pockets to discover!

And ... this is what's under all those flaps. It's a flippin' (lol) WATERFALL element!! This folio just keeps on giving! I've added lots of feminine papers to each page so all it's gorgeousness is on display! And speaking of gorgeous ... that butterfly print is everything.

Here's a close up just so you can appreciate the colors and images a little better.

I added this smaller pocket to one of the pages on the right side. I feel like I'm "living my best life" playing with these brand new products! And I think you will too - this folio is so much fun to put together.

This is such an interesting and interactive scrapbook to save your photos in. The style is really unique and would make a fabulous handmade gift for anyone! 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today & happy scrappin'!

12x12 Over The Rainbow Spring Layout with Doodlebug

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a colorful 12x12 scrapbook page that's giving me all kinds of spring vibes! It was inspired by a layout I found on Pinterest that was designed by Tonya Prawitt. I loved all the little Polaroid photos so I just had to scraplift the idea. I thought it would be adorable with the Over the Rainbow collection and ... I was right! 

The cute pattern paper, the colors, and the happy feeling of this page are everything. And it's so simple! I started by layering two 12x12 prints called Shine Bright (stripes) and Gnome Sweet Gnome (hearts).

Then, I cut the Polaroid mats out of white card stock making them 2" x 2.5". I chose to use 4 photos but, you could add more or less depending on your needs. I trimmed the photos and some pretty patterned papers to 1.75" x 1.75" and adhered them to the white mats.

Now for my favorite part. I picked out tons of embellies from the icon AND mini icon stickers, puffy stickers, sprinkles, and the This & That stickers (links below). So many cute details!!

This design would be great with ANY paper collection. I'm thinkin' a school theme, Easter, or new baby photos would be fun. Ohhh, all the cute stickers! Or, what about winter pictures of building a snowman?

The flower title originally said Thinking of you. But, I changed it by covering the words with a green scallop sticker from the This & That sheet and the You Color My World piece from Chit Chat. Then I added some enamel flower sprinkles on top! 

Here's Tonya's cute dog themed layout that inspired me. Love it! I hope you'll give this project a try. It was simple and so much fun with Doodlebug's Over the Rainbow Collection.

Freezin' Season Scrapbook Album

Hey guys! Today, I found some pictures of a winter album I made back in 2018 called Freezin' Season. Who remembers this one? Or bought the kit? For some reason, I never posted about it on the blog and honestly, it's too cute not to share! Lol! It's an oldie but a goodie so I hope it inspires some creative winter projects. 

I designed this with the Simple Stories Freezin' Season Collection and a 6x8 inch black binder album. 

I loved this paper collection so much that I made 2 other albums with it for my own photos. You can see those albums and my wonderful, nutty family here and here. 

These colors are so much fun for winter - the pink, minty green, coral, and teal are gorgeous. I thought it was unique for the season and absolutely love it! 

This album is perfect for photos of a snowy landscape, playtime in the snow, holidays, or simply everyday moments with friends and family. 

Add photos from a winter vacation like skiing, a getaway to a cabin in the mountains, or a weekend of shows and shopping in the city. Yes ... I'll take all of the above thank you! ;)

On this page, I added 2 pretty plaid mats, then used an igloo card to make a flippie that overlapped on top. Love this interactive element for adding more photo space!

The prints in the collection were so fun and whimsical. The little houses with their curlicue of smoke, the polka dots, stripes, and hearts. 

Every album I make has to have plenty of space for journaling. It's important to document the story or information that goes with the photos. I mean, we can't remember all the details of our fun, lol!! So, it's great to write down dates, locations, people's names, the event, and what was happening that day.

Well, I hope you all plan to "stay warm and snuggle up" this chilly season!

It's a great time to stay inside and make an album with your fun winter pictures. If you're looking for a more guided project ... I have lots of wonderful scrapbook kits available in my shop today (shop link below).
