12x12 June Scrapbook Calendar Page

Hey guys! Tomorrow is June 1st - the start of summer vibes and the month with the most daylight hours. Yessss. This means endless sunny afternoons, backyard fun, BBQs, swimming in the pool, tropical vacations, and tons of activities with family and friends. So, to keep you organized ... I have a new 12x12 calendar page!

I love summer so I had fun with this one. I added cute stickers to important days to remind me of my activities throughout the month. I'll also be writing on it but for now, it's just the pretty papers and embellies.

I used the fabulous Echo Park, Here Comes The Sun Collection designed by Lori Whitlock. I love, love, love the flowers and the little swimsuit paper and sticker above. So cute!

I also used one of Doodlebug's Daily Doodles calendar sheets from my stash. But, the NEW Day to Day Calendar sheets are available to purchase in my shop. They're exactly the same except they come in lots of cute Doodlebug colors. (All product link below.)

At the top, I added the 12x12 flower/green polka dot print called Spreading Sunshine. I created a title using Echo Park's pink paper and the June letters from the Day to Day month stickers.

The LW and DB reminds me of my Lori Whitlock and Doodlebug Design team projects. I used the Alphabet Soup puffy stickers in bumblebee for those.

I usually only add numbers to about half of the days but ... the Day to Day number stickers come with enough to fill a 12-month calendar.

And last but not least ... the best part - all the super fun amazing stickers!! I used lots of cute ones from the 12x12 sticker sheet, the sticker book, and the puffy stickers. 

Ok ... I'm ready for June and looking forward to a vacation, bike rides in the sunshine, relaxing on the beach, and cocktails with my family! 🌞 What are your June plans?

Golf Fairway Fun Scrapbook Album

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing a new ooak mini album that I created with a golf theme. I've never made a scrapbook for golf before so, this was a first! I've made a 12x12 page and a few cards (here and here) for Father's Day but never an album. So, I'm excited to show it to you. I had a lot of fun making it and I hope it gives you some tee-rific inspiration. 😉

 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Golf Fairway Fun Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Simple Stories Flipbook in teal and the PhotoPlay, MVP Golf Collection. I'm loving this cover ... the theme is clear and the colors are great.

The fairway scene is a 3x3 card from the paper called Back Nine. Check out the white enamel dot that I used as a golf ball. Ha! Sometimes it's those small things that amuse me.

This album would be a perfect gift idea for dad on Father's Day. Fill it with photos of his family, friends, and favorite memories. Not only will he enjoy the pictures, but he'll love the fact that you made it.

This would also be great for any golf enthusiast. It makes a thoughtful birthday, Mother's Day, or Christmas present. And, the collection has this 6"x3" card that's perfect for keeping track of their most memorable game.

You can use this album for your own memories, too. Add photos of playing golf with friends, golf lessons, your favorite vacation courses, or your own club's member guest events.

Or ... what about pictures from a PGA tournament, a weekend at the Masters, or students on a golf team?! 

 

There's a pocket for journaling cards and memorabilia like ... scorecards, an autograph, brochures from different courses, postcards, passes, badges, a ball marker, or vintage collectible cards.

There are over 25 million people that play golf in the United States. Most players aren’t professional ... they just enjoy the sport with friends, family, and co-workers. It's a great activity to get outside, work on technique, and spend time with others.

This is an amazing project for a Father's Day gift or a wonderful keepsake for anyone's golfing memories. Thanks for stopping by the blog and happy scrappin'!

OOAK Hello Summer Mini Scrapbook Album

Hi guys! With summer just around the corner I've been daydreaming about sunny days, the beach, taking the grandlittles to the pool, the smell of coconut sunscreen, and flowers in my garden. With that in mind, I decided to play with a pretty new paper collection and make a one-of-a-kind mini album titled Hello Summer.

I designed it with the Echo Park, Here Comes The Sun Collection by Lori Whitlock. It's filled with pretty flowers, strawberries, swimwear, waves, dots, clouds, summer phrases, balloons, kites, vintage vehicles & campers, bikes, umbrellas, and a hot air balloon. So many fun summer icons!

I also used a 4x5 inch Graphic 45 Tag & Pocket album. I LOVE these minis. They're perfect for photos of a smaller occasion like a weekend at the beach, backyard fun, a neighborhood BBQ, or a pool party.

Inside the front and back covers, I added a yellow and orange paper filled with sunshine. I used prints from the 6x6 paper pad throughout and included a "Here comes the sun" flippie on the first page.

This album has lots of pockets and cute little tags. I added a few shiny brads to the ones above. Love those!

Here's another flippie I made with one of the 3x4 journaling cards. These make great photo mats or a place to document dates, locations, names, or a fun story.

Check out that adorable strawberry paper. I love it and I'm already thinking of other projects to use that on. This page has a clever little side pocket with pull-out card AND a front pocket with another tag.

Take a look at the watermelon and pinwheel brads on these pages. How cute!

Be sure to check out the Here Comes The Sun paper collection. You'll have so much fun using it with your summer photos. The colors are great and I love all the cute patterns. The strawberries, flowers, and polka dots are my favs. 💕

Below are links for the products used in this album. Happy crafting!

Today is Funday Friday and I have a pretty NEW scrapbook kit to prove it. This one is titled "Beelieve in Yourself" and it's filled with positive phrases that encourage, support, and create lots of happy feelings!

Beelieve in Yourself Scrapbook Instructions

I created this with a 6x8 Simple Stories binder and the wonderful Bee Happy Collection designed by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park. I love this bright happy color scheme of yellow, green, and black. There are lots of flowers, bumblebees, bee hives, gingham prints, stripes, hearts, and polka dots. So, so cute!!

The title on the cover sets the tone of positivity and along side it are a couple of smiling bees (love them!), gold glittery dots, and lots of gorgeous flowers.

Inside the front cover, I've added a pretty yellow gingham print and a journaling spot for you to document dates, locations, or events.

Check out the papers on this first page. So many flowers and butterflies ... it's just bee-utiful! And I love the little daisy flippie that greets you with a "Hello Honey".

This album has 24 wonderful pages that include 4 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 6 flippies, and space for 60+ photos. Yep, that's a lot of fun memories!

How cute is this page?! The contrast between the black and white polka dots and the beehive paper is amazing. And I LOVE the little "Think happy bee happy" tag with gingham ribbon!

Here is one of the 3 bee-utiful pockets. These are perfect for saving extra photos, a supportive or inspirational greeting card, tickets, an invitation, dried flowers, or a sweet note.

Check out this folding page. It has a great journaling card and a scalloped floral border sticker that's so lovely.

The time you spend creating this fun mini album can be your happy place. With pretty flowers, sunny colors, and cute little bees ... I know it will brighten your day. 

And if you want to spread the joy ... give it as a gift and make someone else's day. That would "bee" so sweet! 😉🐝 Hop over to my shop and get yours today!

Father's Day Sports Gift Box Tutorial

Hey guys! Today, I'm sharing an awesome Father's Day project that I made for Lori Whitlock's blog. I used her brand new cutting file called 4 Candy Drawer #1 Dad Sports (link below) and made a gift box for my #1 Dad! 

It's perfect for small gift ideas like his favorite candy, collectible coins, fishing lures, a key chain, golf ball markers, golf tees, a swanky new pen, cuff links, or a tie pin. You could even enlarge the size & add golf balls!

This simple design includes a rectangular box (or drawer) and four small square boxes that fit inside. The #1 Dad sleeve slides over it and keeps everything contained. I love the cut-outs on top. Such a fun and clever way to present a gift.

Here are a few tips for assembling this project.  First, use a medium weight card stock for the boxes and the "drawer"... probably less than 100#.  If the card stock is too thick, it might make the drawer a little tight. I used Bazzill 80# (Jade) and it worked perfectly.  

Tip #2:  If you fold all of the score lines on the little boxes correctly, as in the photo above, you will hide all of the glue tabs and end up with a nice solid base. 

The 4 little boxes inside act as dividers and they're removable. You can use them all or just some of them, depending on the size of your item(s). I love this design, but ... Lori also has other styles so, be sure to check those out and pick the one that's best for your father.

I hope you like this fun gift box idea. Since Father's Day is Sunday, June 18 you still have plenty of time to get your crafty pants on! 😉

 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting.
