The Perfect Recipe Album with Doodlebug

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. It's a mini recipe album on a clipboard that's filled with pretty flowers, hearts, and the cutest little kitchen supplies. I created it with the wonderful Made With Love Collection and it's a great place to store your favorite recipes!

I found this ring binder clipboard in my stash. It's by Maggie Holmes and it's called a Crate Paper Open Album. The clipboard was a woodgrain pattern so I covered it with the pretty 12x12 plaid paper called Cupcake Cuties.

Then, I created a cover page for my recipes with white card stock. I added the 6x6 paper titled Heartwarmer to the lower half and the scalloped border sticker from the This and That sheet. 

For the center embellishments, I used the scallop circle sticker from the This and That and layered a 2.25" circle punched from the 6x6 Bake Me Happy polka dot paper. Then, I finished it with a few flower and heart die cuts from the Odds & Ends.

Inside the cover page, I added more of the 6x6 Bake Me Happy paper, then ... the cute recipe cards! I added 35 of them. I punched holes in the top of each one and added them to the rings.

I love the recipe cards in this collection. The set includes 36 double-sided cards. There are six of each design that have a pretty pattern along the bottom and a cute image in the corner.

At the bottom of the clipboard, I layered more die cut pieces from the Odds & Ends and added the "perfect recipe" piece from the Chit Chat. And that's it! Easy peasy!

I hope this cute project inspires you to make your something fabulous with the Made With Love Collection. The paper and embellishments are fun, colorful, and filled with cute little smiling faces!

NEW! You Make me Happy Scrapbook Mini Album

Hello friends! It's Friday ... my favorite day of the week where I introduce a brand new scrapbook kit into the shop. Today, I have a super cute mini album that will have you looking forward to spring! It's titled You Make Me Happy and it's perfect for photos of spring, Easter, family, friends, everyday memories, Mother's Day, birthdays, and even summer!

You Make me Happy Mini Acrylic Scrapbook by Artsy Albums

I designed it with the adorable Doodlebug, Over the Rainbow Collection. It's filled with bright, happy colors and spring images of hot air balloons, gnomes, flowers, mushrooms, rainbows, ladybugs, butterflies, and lots of pretty patterns. 

For the scrapbook, I used my Acrylic Dog House Shaped Album. It may be titled dog house but you can use this little cutie for ANY theme ... like spring! The album measures approx. 6x6 overall and has two 1/8" white acrylic covers. The front cover and pages measuring 4.25" x 5.75".

I made the front into a cute cottage with pretty blue woodgrain siding, 2 polka dot windows, a front door with tiny hearts, and a sweet little picket fence with a flower garden in front.

Inside, there are 16 pages that include 4 fold-out pages (like the one above), 1 pocket, 4 flippies, and space for 30 of your wonderful spring / summer photos.

I designed this album with lots of fun die cuts that extend beyond the top of the pages. They're so cute and colorful! I love the layers at the top and wanted you to still be able to see them as you flip through the pages.

Above, is another folding element with a cute little mushroom house die cut. I love the beautiful rainbow paper on the page behind it. What a great spot for fun selfies with friends or family, Easter, an egg hunt, a rainbow, a beautiful garden, or planting flowers with the littles.  

You could also add pictures of a farmers market, spring break vacation, a visit to see the cherry blossoms, a picnic in the park, a birthday party, new baby photos, or fun in the backyard!

The pocket has some awesome journaling cards or you could save memorabilia here, like ... tickets to movie, a Broadway show, a school play, a church event, graduation, or fun activity. Add a few pressed flowers from your garden, a pack of seeds, a special card or invitation, or a postcard from your spring travels.

I designed this with the Carta Bella, Here Comes Spring Collection and it's oh so beautiful! There are soft pastel colors and spring images of flowers, umbrellas, bees, beehives, a pink pick-up truck, a pink bicycle, rainbows, cute rain boots, watering cans, birdhouses, and colorful spring bonnets.

It's made with a Graphic 45 Album in a Box and it measures 5.5" x 5.5" x 2". This style of scrapbook is so fun. I used it for my Hi Friend Album, which I really loved. The box includes an album that can be attached inside after embellishing the pages. The box lid has a side flap with a hidden magnet to keep it closed.

Lots of Love Window Circle Scrapbook Album

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and it's a fun mini album idea for your holiday photos. It's also a great project for saving photos of the people you love!

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album with lots of cute stickers

For this album, I used the adorable Lots of Love Shadow Box Insert Kit and one of my 8x8 Acrylic Square Circle Window Albums. I really enjoyed creating the cover!  It's very relaxing to place each of the pieces using the simple template, and I love the texture it gives to the front of my album.  

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album page with a rainbow, flowers, and tags

For the page above, I added a nice big photo mat to the pretty All My Love paper, and embellished with Bits & Pieces, Odds & Ends, and Chit Chat.  I love the little tags and chunky twine sticking up over the top!

More Bits & Pieces helped give the next page the feeling of a photo being tucked into a bouquet of flowers.  There's even a tag for journaling or a sweet sentiment.

It wouldn't be one of my minis without a pocket!  I added a little shine to this one with the rainbow and heart shaped sprinkles from the Love Is In the Air pack, and then I tucked in cards, journaling spots, and a photo mat.

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album page with flowers, a rainbow, a pocket, and tags

This page includes one of Doodlebug's cute bubblegum envelopes, a pocket for more tags, and a Bouquet of Love Doodle-Pops! So much texture and dimension on this fun page!

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album page with lots of cute rainbows

I really love this page.  Since the page itself is 8"x8", I was able to adhere a full sheet of 6x6 paper to the center.  I used the sheet with all of the little cut apart cards and turned 11 of them into little photo mats.  I think lots of tiny pictures will look so cute here!

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album page with a rainbow, a bird, birdhouse, and tags

That little birdhouse hanging from the limb so tooo cute!  It's from the Odds & Ends die cuts, and so is that colorful rainbow.  Hearts and scallops and stripes on one die cut? Yes please!

Valentine's Day Lots of Love scrapbook album page with a cute mailbox and birds

I layered the mailbox die cut over the one on the front of the 3x4 card to add some dimension to the page above.  That card is also a flippie so extra photos can be tucked inside -- 4 photos on one page! I love that!

I hope you have "Lots of Love" for my mini album and will consider incorporating the shadowbox kit into the cover of your next album!  Until next time, happy crafting!
