HOMETOWN USA TAG MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I love tag projects, and Doodlebug makes it so easy to create a fun little tag mini!  I used the Hometown USA collection to create this fun album, the perfect place to document your fun 4th of July memories. Take a peek...

To create the book, I used a combination of items from the collection.  I started with a tag cut from the Tag You're It paper for my cover.  It's embellished with a the silver 4th and Let's Celebrate tag from the Chit Chat pieces, some silver Alphabet Soup letters and some Star Spangled Shaped Sprinkles.

I covered the back of the tag with some Petite Prints, and added a journaling spot from the the 6x6 pad and some Patriotic Assortment jewels.  I made a fun tassel using the Red, White & Blue Doodle Twine and added the Stars & Stripes Little Charmer charm.

One of the things I love about a tag mini album is that you can add all sorts of embellishments as "tags."  For my mini I added some acetate fireworks from the Bits & Pieces, some Odds & Ends as well as some big words from the Chit Chats.

I also cut a couple of tags from the Festive Fireworks Heavy Weight Acetate and added a journaling circle on each side.  They add such a fun look!

Here are the remaining pages.  They include tags and elements from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat and Bits & Pieces packs.  I also added photo spots using papers from the 6x6 pad and lots of shaped sprinkles!

My mini is all ready for my 4th of July Photos!  Have you made any projects using the Hometown USA Collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram, we love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

HOMETOWN USA MINI ALBUM WITH CHARMS | With Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today I have a cute mini scrapbook titled God Bless America that I created with the colorful new Hometown USA Collection. These patriotic papers and embellishments are perfect for highlighting your fun photos of the 4th of July holiday.

I designed this with my 6x6 inch red acrylic mini album, but you could easily make this out of card stock or chipboard instead. On the cover, I cut different sized star shapes out of the acrylic using the Special Delivery cutting file called Moon and Stars. 

I added the adorable July 4th Doodle-pops just behind the largest star on the first page and it fit perfectly!

On the top ring, I added the Just Charming Charm Clip and Keychain titled Land That I Love. With its hearts and stars, I think it's so fun and "just charming".

Inside, I covered all of the white pages with cute prints from the 6x6 paper pad. In the photo above, I created a flippie (aka a fold-out card) with a 3x4 card from the 12x12 Blast of Blue paper. I love the little Statue of Liberty. She has that cute round face and smile that is perfectly Doodlebug!

Above is another fun flippie. These are great for adding more photos to mini album pages and Doodlebug's cards are perfect for creating them.

I love a good pocket for holding cards and extra photos. I made this one with the Polka Dot Pride print. It has so many great stars, scallops, hearts, and the cutest little July 4th images. On the front, I added the bakery die cut from the Odds & Ends. Then inside, I added lots of journaling cards for writing or to use as photo mats. 

I added lots of adorable Odds & Ends die cuts to every page. On the page above, there are balloons, fireworks, and a cute little blue bird. Doodlebug added silver metallic foil to this collection so the papers and embellishments shimmer!

I added two adorable flippies to this page. One folds up and the other folds down and they meet in the middle. These 3x4 cards are from the 12x12 Summer Celebration paper. Fireworks, flags, and ice cream trucks ... perfect for the holidays.

I love using the top edge of the tags as a decorative element and the Tag You're It! paper has so many pretty colors and patterns. I cut the top edge off and fussy cut around the tag shape, then ... added it along the side of my folding page. Easy and so, so cute.

This DIY July 4th Album Kit titled God Bless America will be available in my Artsy Albums shop tomorrow (Friday) if you're looking for a more guided project. I hope you have a great day and have fun playing with this adorable Hometown USA Collection!
