SNOW MUCH FUN MINI BOOK | with Kathy

I'm back with another project using the absolutely marvelous Snow Much Fun collection.  The colors in this collection are my absolute favorite!  I decided to make a fun little flippy mini album to hold all those fun winter photos!  Take a peek...

 

I create the album cover using chipboard and covered it with papers from the collection.  My covers measure 4.75"h x 4"w  and my spine is about 1".  I decorated my cover with a little snowman shaker.  I used the Snow Cute Doodle Pop, and some of the new Heavy acetate along with some Doodlebug sequins for the shaker bits.  I added snowflake sprinkles both inside the shaker and on top for some dimension.  The album title is a banner piece from the Chit Chat pack.

Inside the album are three multi-folded pages I made using the coordinating Snow Much Fun Textured Cardstock.   They all fold out to make plenty of room for photos and journaling.  I got the idea for these pages from this video.

Once I had all my pages in place, I set to decorating them!  I started by covering each of the sections with patterned papers from the 12x12 collection kit. I then added photo mats on some of the pages and decorated them all using various Icon Stickers, This & That Stickers Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, Bits & Pieces and shaped sprinkles.  Here are all the pages pulled out so you can see all the fun embellishments.  

I love how the folded pages give you plenty of room to document all your winter memories!  Since I think it's more fun to see it all "in action", I made a flip through video so you can see more! 

That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

FRENCH KISS Mini Album & Flip Through Video | with Traci

Years ago, I started creating a series of mini albums called "You and Me". My albums document the love story I share with my husband. We're high school sweethearts, so the first book goes all the way back to the 80's...yikes!...maybe I should post pictures of that one on my blog someday :).  The French Kiss collection reminded me of those albums, and creating a new mini with these bright, adorable papers was so much fun.  Here are a few pictures, but I did a video for you so that you could really see all the fun details.

The cover is 4 layers of chipboard!  I love a sturdy album and this one has some nice dimension. Those two cuties on the bike with that precious pup ... is that not adorable?  Doodlebug has the best die cuts.  I added a few tiny heart sprinkles on the wheels for some extra cuteness, and I created the title with my Silhouette software.

Aren't the colors in this collection perfect?  As you can see, I added in some solid petite prints like the  cupcake dots/stripes above.  The "Always & Forever" title is from the chit chat package.

I used papers from the 6x6 pad and 12x12 size. I also added in some acrylic pages for a little something different.  You can see these pages in the video below.And ... yes! this project is available as a DIY kit in my shop.  Stop by my blog for all of the details.

I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things you make with French Kiss!!  Be sure to tag #doodlebugdesigns and #artsyalbums so we can see!
