NEW! Happy Little Moments Scrapbook Album Kit

Happy Wednesday! It's time for a peek into this week's 🐝 bee-utiful NEW mini album kit that'll be in my shop on Friday. It's titled Happy Little Moments and it's such a cute scrapbook for your "happy little moments" with family and friends. It has lots of sweet, positive sayings and it's so much fun to create. You're gonna 💛 it!

I made this with my custom Peek-A-Boo Acrylic Circles Album, which I also used last year for my Bunnies, Treats, & Easter Sweets Scrapbook. It's one of my favorite acrylic albums. It measures 6x6 inches and has two 1/8" black covers. The front cover has circle cut-outs that allow the cuteness to "peek" through!

I also used the adorable PhotoPlay, Sweet As Honey 2 Collection. It's filled with bees, honeypots, daisies, beehives, sunflowers, and ... lots of happiness. 😊

Inside, there are 16 scrapbook pages that include 3 pockets, 2 fold-out pages, 7 flippies (how fun!), and space for 40 photos. So ... you can add pictures of happy everyday moments, springtime, gardening, celebrations, or new baby photos!

Here's one of the pockets. I added honeycomb shaped stickers and a scalloped border to the front, and inside ... lots of cute cards to use for journaling or as photo mats. Ohhh, how I love those little bees!

This scrapbook would make such a sweet gift idea for a birthday, Mother's Day, or ... just because! Give it to a friend, your sister, your daughter or granddaughter who's away at college, a babysitter, or a teacher.

I added some really fun details in this album. There's a cute tag with twine that extends off the page, tags with ribbon, a scalloped circle tab, and a fold-out flippie with several little pages. 

This bee paper is so cute, I had to add a close up. All of those circles go great with the cut-outs on the front cover, don't you think?

And look how great this mini album looks on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. They BEE-long together! 😉 

My new Happy Little Moments Mini Album (kit & premade) will be available in my shop this Friday. Each page is cuter than the next and it's sure to put a smile on your face!  Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and have a great day!

Valentine's Day Scrapbook Album with Lori Whitlock

Hey friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's February Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I made this L🩷VE mini album that's perfect for Valentine's Day photos. I used one of Lori's cutting files called Heart Stacking Card Dots (link below) to replace the O in LOVE with a heart. She has many of these "stacking card" files and they're all pretty fabulous!

To make this, I cut the covers out of white acrylic but you could use cardstock or chipboard instead. I made the back piece first using a rounded rectangle shape in my Silhouette software and resized it to 10.5" x 4.25". Then, I sized the letters L, V, and E (Impact Font) to fit within the back cover shape.

Next, came the acrylic heart. I sized the shape to fit within the space, then welded the letters and the heart all together to create my front cover.

Using card stock in red, pink, yellow, and white I cut the heart's pieces out and stacked them on top of one another. Is it just me or is there a slight 3D effect happening? Lol! Then, I decorated the album with the Doodlebug Design, Lots of Love Collection (links below).

Here's a look at a few pages inside the album ...

I covered each of the cardstock pages in colorful 12x12 and 6x6 pattern papers. I added different sized photo mats for interest and embellished with lots of cute die cuts (links below). 

What a pretty page for photos of you and your sweetie, the littles or grandlittles, friends, a beloved pet, or your parents. This album is perfect for photos of anyone that's special to you.

I hope you "L🩷VE" my new Valentine's Day mini album and Lori's Heart Stacking Card Dots cutting file.

NEW! Forever Friends Scrapbook Mini Album

Hello crafty friends! Are you ready to see this week's second NEW kit that will be in my shop on Friday? It's a beautiful acrylic mini album filled with flowers, books, and butterflies, but ... there's a fun little twist! This mini is so versatile that I've included a sheet of different titles, so YOU get to pick the one that suits your needs!

Isn't she pretty? I designed it with the Delightful Collection by Memory Place. It's filled with watercolor images and spring colors making it wonderfully generic. So, it could be used for friends, a birthday, Mother's Day, spring, a reading journal, graduation, or everyday memories.

It's made with one of my clear 4.5" x 7.5" Acrylic Scallop Edge Albums. The scallops are such a fun detail, so I highlighted them with circles punched from some of the pattern papers.

I chose the Friends Forever title for my example, but the kit includes a vellum sheet with six options:

• Happy Birthday
• Happy Mother's Day
• Spring Garden
• Friends Forever 
• Once Upon A Time
• A Book A Day

You could also print off your own more customized title with someone's name, "grandmother", "sister", a year, a specific date, or the name of a location or event.

Since this album has images of books, I added the titles - A Book A Day and Once Upon A Time in case you want to use it as a reading journal. What a pretty keepsake for someone that loves reading, is in a book club, works in a book store or a library, or is a teacher.

This scrapbook would also make an amazing handmade gift for a birthday or Mother's Day. It's so pretty and perfect for photos of family and friends. Buy now so you have time and it's ready when needed. 

The album has 12 scrapbook pages that include 1 pocket, 2 fold-out pages, 4 flippies, and space for 25 photos. Above is one of the fold-out pages. Open it and you'll see ...

... this 2 page spread! I used one big beautiful print across both pages and ... I love it. It's the perfect page for photos of "simple joys".

Look at those pretty flowers, butterflies, and ... hummingbirds! This is an ideal scrapbook for pictures of spring, an Easter celebration, church events, a visit to a botanical garden, or your own wonderful garden.

The pocket has lots of journaling cards and photo mats but you can also save memorabilia here, like ... a special greeting card, an invitation, the small card that comes with flowers, a library card, seed packets, or a handwritten note.

Doesn't it look wonderful sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand in the photo below? These stands are perfect for showing off your mini albums, greeting cards, and other handmade projects.

I hope you love my NEW Friends Forever Acrylic Mini Album. Remember that I've included extra titles in the kit, so YOU can pick the one that suits your needs. 

The kit and premade will be available in my shop this Friday along with my second newbie, Life is Better With a Cat Album. Thanks so much for visiting the blog and have a wonderful day! 😊
