AT THE ZOO MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I've created an acrylic tabbed mini album with a super cute jungle theme! I made it with the adorable At The Zoo Collection and it's perfect for highlighting photos of the zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, a safari, a birthday party, a petting zoo, baby photos, a baby shower, or a school field trip. This collection is great for so many pictures!

I designed this with my 5x7 inch clear Acrylic Tabbed Album, but you could easily make this out of white card stock or chipboard instead. On the cover, I added the zebra print called Zoo Animals, a scallop circle sticker from the This & That, and lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends. The panda might be my favorite!

On each of the tabs, I added lots of word stickers from the This & That. Then inside, I strategically layered photo mats and embellishments to match on both sides of the clear acrylic pages. That way, you never see the adhesive.

On this first page, I wanted to add a little punch of red so I made the photo mat out of the petite print wood grain in ladybug. Then, I embellished with a cute blue seal from the Odds & Ends, another word sticker from the This & That, and a shiny enamel shape sprinkle called Jungle Leaves. Oh, how I ❤️ sprinkles.

I also love mixing patterns from the 12x12 and 6x6 paper pad. The page above is a great example. The small journaling card and the tiny Zippity-Zoo Dots are from the 6x6 prints. On the page behind it, I added the larger 12x12 dot paper. And ... the cute toucan bird die cut just matches it all perfectly!

This collection is so fun to play with and it's filled with sweet faced little animals. Just look at the Zoo Friends print in the photo above and you'll get a quick glimpse at the whole adorable crew!

Who loves a good zebra print besides me? The bold black and white pattern is awesome and it looks great with a touch of pink and green. So, I added the fun little flamingo and a few more enamel leaves.

I haven't made a zoo or jungle themed mini album in years, so this was so much fun for me. The At The Zoo Collection is amazing and I hope my scrapook inspires you to create something new as well. Happy crafting!

SEASIDE SUMMER ACRYLIC MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Who's having fun with the new Seaside Summer collection?! I am!!! (picture me eagerly raising my hand and jumping up and down) 😉. I am in love with the patterns, shells, crabbies, palm trees ... all the things! So I had lots of fun making today's project!

This is a 6x6 acrylic album with 4 inside acrylic pages that measure 5.75" x 5.75". It's the perfect size for a few of your favorite pictures from a recent summer vacation! I used the adorable 6x6 paper pad and lots of odds & ends, chit chit, and bits & pieces.


I love the way you can layer an acrylic album so that all of the fun papers and icons show from one layer to the next! The key is to work from the back up to the front cover when you are designing one of these. How cute is that palm tree with the multi-colored leaves! So pretty!

The colors in this collection are so yummy ... cherry, pistachio, limeade, lemon, etc! And there are multiple lighthouses, flowers, beach houses, boats, etc so you can create SO MANY wonderful projects without worrying that you're using up all the cute pieces.

I know you're all having fun with this collection, so be sure to tag Doodlebug and share your projects with us! And if you want to make this cute acrylic album, head over to my blog for more details 😀. Happy seaside crafting everyone!

FAIRY GARDEN ACRYLIC TAB ALBUM | with Traci

Happy Spring everyone!  This is my favorite season of the year so it was easy for me to pick a theme for this week's project  -- sunshine, flowers and rainbows!  And Fairy Garden was the perfect collection! 

For this mini, I used an acrylic tabbed album and lots of DoodlePops!  Actually, that adorable sunshine on the cover is a Shaker-Pop called Sunsational.  I also used Double Rainbow because I wanted one on the front cover and one backing it on the inside.  Isn't the little row of hearts cute??  The cloud and hearts are from another Doodle-Pop called Over the Rainbow. 

When you open the cover, the pieces on the front cover show through the clear acrylic, so I covered up the adhesive side with additional Doodle-Pops.  This sun is called Fun in the Sun and I just love that sweet smiling face and the epoxy rays.  

I used 12x12 and 6x6 patterns from the collection to create photo mats and layers.  I also had fun hunting through the odds & ends to find pieces that back up to each other nicely ... like this snail and mushroom.  There's a lilac snail and a lime mushroom on the other side :)

I wanted a journaling spot in the album so I created a little flippie so photos could hide inside.  They will look really cute on the plaid mats!

Did you see all of those cute shape sprinkles on the tabs?  I think they add a fun touch across the top of the album.  They are from Hello Sunshine, With All My Heart, and Chasing Rainbows.  

I hope this Spring album inspires you to create a fun project with Fairy Garden!  Thanks for letting me share my newest mini with you!

Cream & Sugar | Acrylic Album & Video with Traci

Happy New Year!  I'm so excited to be back on the Doodlebug design team for another year!

I always look forward to the latest Doodlebug collections, but for my first post of 2018, I'm looking back to one of the most popular, and adorable, collections of 2017 ... Cream & Sugar! I decided on an acrylic album for this project so I did a little video to show the clear pages a bit better, hope you like it? 

I used papers from the 6x6 paper pad, stickers, and lots of sprinkles in this mini. 

I also loaded the album up with Odds & Ends.  I had 2 packages, which came in really handy for matching up pieces on both sides of a clear page (like the cake on the cover, and the one shown above).

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!  I hope you all have a wonderful start to 2018!  Stop by Artsy Albums and say hello sometime!
