Lighthouse Shaped Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hi sweet friends! It's time for another Doodlebug Design Team Project and today, I have a fun little lighthouse shaped mini album for you. Its coastal theme is great for saving summer photos of the beach, a boardwalk, a day of boating, or a lighthouse with an amazing view. Take a look ...

Isn't this cute? I used a Doodlebug cutting file called Lighthouse 2 and sized the shape to 3.25" x 10". I cut the front and back covers out of white acrylic but you could make these out of white cardstock instead. I love the cupola at the top, the catwalk, and the "rope" railing at the bottom. Great details!

I decorated the album with the adorable Seaside Summer Collection. I chose the blue 12x12 Surf's Up print for the main tower section, then filled in the smaller spaces with a few colorful prints from the 6x6 paper pad. 

To make the lantern sparkle, I added a few mini jewels. And the pretty scalloped flower border and the rainbow striped heart are stickers from the This & That sheet. 

The icons stickers were the perfect size for this mini album so, I added the cute little seagull to the railing. The word bubble is from the Chit Chat.

 

On the inside of the front cover, I added the pink beach house icon sticker, a 2x3 card from the 6x6 paper pad, and a few more Chit Chat pieces. Next, I cut 6 pages out of white cardstock and covered each one in 12x12 pattern papers.

I made photo mats for each page using the smaller 6x6 prints. And above, I included the adorable summer memories journaling card. It's also from the 6x6 paper pad.

Wouldn't these pages be great filled with pictures of a summer vacation, family and friends, the beach, swimming, snorkeling, hunting for seashells, and building sand castles?

Or ... what about a boating trip, a day of fishing, renting wave runners, or exploring a boardwalk? It all sounds so fun! And speaking of fun, how cute is this little blue whale? He's a puffy icon sticker and I just love him.

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. 

Here, I used the 2x2 cards from the 6x6 paper pad to create 2 small flippies. These are so cute and super practical. Now I can fit 4 photos on this page instead of just 2!

On the page above, I added 3 round die cut pieces from the Chit Chat to use as photo mats. (The white circles represent your pictures.)

Well, what do you think? Are you ready to create your own lighthouse mini album?The Seaside Summer Collection and cut files are so fun and they're perfect for highlighting your summer photos. 

Also, be sure to check out my Acrylic Display Stand, seen in the photo above. These are great for showing off your shaped and acrylic mini albums. Have a great day! 😊
