Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album - Part 5

Hey guys! Today, I'm sharing my Doodlebug Design Team Project and it's the final post for my Build a Snowman Mini Album. I'll be sharing my favorite pages, some of the fun elements I created, and recapping all the goodies that come with Doodlebug's Mini Albums. With one more month of winter, I hope this project gives you some inspiration for saving this season's memories.  

Build A Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album with a snow scene, snowmen, a reindeer, a cabin, and a big polka dot bow

I created this scrapbook with the 6x8 Doodlebug Mini Album in swimming pool and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection. For all the details on how I designed the cover, click Build A Snowman Album Part 1

Doodlebug's Mini Albums include so many great features and this first page is one of them. It's 1 of 5 chipboard tabbed dividers and I added pretty patterned papers and 2 flippies to it. These folding cards were made with 3x4 cards and have space inside for 4 photos.

Another great detail of the Mini Album is that it comes with 4 pocket pages. Some are positioned along the bottom and others along the side. I like to add cards to mine that can be used as photo mats or for journaling, and ... tuck all my special little memorabilia inside.

The album also has 4 colorful card stock pages like the pistachio polka one above. I folded mine in half to create a fold-out page. Then, I added some cute die cuts and photo mats. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 2

I love making mini albums but their smaller size can limit how many pictures and embellishments can be added. So, I incorporate layers that add as much space as possible. In the photo above, I created a fold-out page AND a little deer flippie on the front. Now, this gives you room for 4 pics!

Here is one of the pockets that is along the side of the page. I like that Doodlebug mixed them up a bit. For this one, I covered it with pretty papers and added a tri-fold pull-out card that's loaded with photo mats and cute die cuts.

The album also comes with 10 assorted clear page protectors. Above is one of them and it's divided into two 4x6 inch spaces. I added some colorful prints, enamel shape sprinkles, die-cuts, and ... another flippie! For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 3.  

Winter Wonderland Scrapbook Album Page with a fold-out, acetate snowflakes, gems, a pocket, and cute journaling cards

This layout has a bunch of interactive goodies. I created a fold-out page (seen on the left) for a large photo on the front and back. Then, I added some acetate snowflakes and few sparkling mini jewels.  

On the right, I created a pocket and tucked more journaling cards inside. Then, I made the front of the pocket a flippie and added the This & That scalloped sticker on top.

Open that flippie, and there's a 2nd pocket inside with two little 3x3 inch square cards. I love the interaction with scrapbook pages. What a fun surprise to open each layer and find sweet photos and handwritten notes.

Here's another one of the colored cardstock pages that are included in the album. I decorated with this one with a few winter die cuts and added another flippie that I made with a 3x4 card. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 4.  

My Build a Snowman Winter Album is complete! I hope I was able to give you some fun layout ideas and you're excited to create your own scrapbook with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Have a great day! 😊

New! Live, Love, Run Scrapbook Album Kit

Hello friends! It's time for a peek into this week's exciting NEW mini album kit that will be in my shop on Friday. It's titled Live, Love, Run and it's a brand new theme for me! It's perfect for runners, walkers, and everyone who loves to participate in running or walking clubs, fun runs, races, marathons, obstacle courses, or charitable / fundraising events. It makes an amazing keepsake, and ... a fabulous gift idea!

Live, Love, Run Scrapbook Mini Album with images of running shoes, stopwatches, start signs, jump ropes, whistles, and street cones

I designed this with a 6x8 Doodlebug Design binder in black and the PhotoPlay, Runners High Collection. It has images of running shoes, stopwatches, start signs, jump ropes, whistles, and street cones. This collection captures the energy and excitement of hitting the pavement.

Running Scrapbook Album page with sneakers, people running, a star, and photo mats

Inside, there are 20 scrapbook pages that include 1 fold-out, 2 pockets, 3 flippies, and space for 35+ photos. The album also includes eight 6x8 clear page protectors that are perfect for storing race bibs or larger photos.

This mini is great for anyone who loves to run, or simply enjoys walking. It's all about putting your sneakers on, getting outside, and being active whether it's for health, sport, community, or charity. Good for you! 

Live, Love, Run Scrapbook Album page with sneakers and a fun run saying

You can use this to save pictures (and memorabilia) from different events, like ... fun runs, 5K run / walk, 10K races, breast cancer walks like the Susan G. Komen, half and full marathons, obstacles courses like the Spartan Race or Tough Mudder, and triathlons. 

Above is one of the clear page protectors. I added my sister's race bib from the Color Run she participated in as an example. What a perfect way to store them!

If you're part of a running club or enjoying walking with friends, be sure to take pictures from time to time. Not only will it save those fun outdoor memories, but you can also document your progress. 

Live, Love, Run Scrapbook Album page with a pocket, journaling cards with funny running sayings, and a cute paper with sneakers

Here's a great pocket page with a few cards tucked inside. The "6 Stages of Marathon Running" card is so funny. I'm not a runner but I'm quite sure the mental struggle is real, lol!

Live, Love, Run Scrapbook Album page with a lined journaling card for your stats

I've included plenty of space on the pages for journaling so, you can document your run, walk, or event. Add information like ...

  • Date
  • Time of day 
  • Weather conditions
  • Location / route information
  • Run or walk time / average pace
  • Total mileage
  • How you felt during
  • Sneakers worn
  • Pre-run or post-run nutrition
  • Current and future goals 
  • Charitable organization

If you just like to participate in fun runs, great! These are non-competitive, often charitable, and perfect for people who want to stay fit but don’t run as a sport. Fun runs usually have a theme like the Color Run, Glow Run, Mud Run, or School Fun Run. They encourage everyone to focus more on the FUN rather than the run, so ... you can walk it, push a stroller, and chat with friends if you want to!

In the picture above, you can see another example of a race bib saved in the clear page. These bibs come in slightly different sizes but most should easily fit within this 6x8 inch space.

Here is the 2nd pocket. It can be used for storing extra photos, receipts from your favorite athletic gear, notes or journaling cards, event flyers, race bibs, medals, ribbons, or small maps of your running / walking routes.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and remember, this newbie will be in my shop on Friday. 😊

12x12 Cookies and Kisses Scrapbook Layout

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing a "sweet" 12x12 scrapbook page that can be used for photos of baking or (with one small tweak) for your Valentine's Day pictures. I created this layout with the Doodlebug Design, Made with Love Collection that's filled with yummy treats, hearts, and lots of loving sentiments. 💕

12x12 Baking Cookies Scrapbook Page Layout with a pocket, hearts, kitchen supplies, and cute little flowers

My granddaughter & I love baking cookies together and on this day, we made one of my mom's favorite recipes ... peanut butter kiss cookies. Oh, so good! ❤️ 

The papers I chose for this layout are pretty generic, so ... it could easily be used for Valentines Day pics by simply changing out the baking embellishments at the bottom of the page. Everything else works great!

12x12 Baking Cookies Scrapbook Page Layout with hearts, XOXO, and cute little flowers

For the base, I used the cute red pattern paper called Cinnamon Hearts, then added white cardstock on top. Next, I used the front and back side of the print called Apron Strings to create a colorful section on the left side. I cut out a red photo mat using the same heart print as the base, then added the "sweet", the XOXO, and the heart banner die cuts from the Chit Chat (product links below).

12x12 Baking Cookies Scrapbook Page Layout with cute kitchen supplies and colorful little flowers

At the bottom, I created a little cluster of cuteness! I added a mint colored mixer (Mixed with Love Doodle-pops), some die cuts from the Odds & Ends, the yellow whisk (Baker's Kneads Doodle-pops), and 1 teeny tiny chocolate chip from the Bitsy Chips shape sprinkles. Ha! Even the names of these products are cute!

Finally, I created a small pocket with the pretty mint plaid paper. I added my photo on top, then tucked some journaling and recipe cards inside. What a perfect spot to save notes, a grocery list, or to tell the story of your fun afternoon in the kitchen.

If you're making this layout for Valentine's Day memories, the pocket could be used for love notes, the small card that comes with flowers, tickets from a fun activity, extra photos, and journaling cards.

I hope this layout gives you a little inspiration. Thanks for stopping by the blog and happy scrapping! 😍
