STAR STUDDED LAYOUT | with Tegan

Do you still have a few favorite pictures from Easter that need to be scrapbooked? I sure do! And I was more than happy to get out the adorable Hoppy Easter collection again to document those photographs! I love creating with this collection. The adorable bunnies and chicks and fun color scheme just make me so happy! I also had fun creating a cool background using the Doodlebug Lots O Luck Lucky Shapes cut file set!

​

I created the fun background by using the star shape to make a random star pattern in my die cut machine software. I then die cut out my pattern on white cardstock. I then die cut the same pattern using Bubblegum and Swimming Pool Petite Prints patterned paper. I adhered these second two cut outs off center (the Bubblegum one offset to the left and the Swimming Pool one offset to the right) to make a border on the star cut out. I then backed the entire page with the colorful Easter Egg Hunt patterned paper. I just love how cool and colorful the stars are! I used lots of Odds & Ends pieces to make my title. And how cute is that little Easter Cute Clip carrot?!

​

I used my favorite patterned papers from the collection to back my photo and added more Odds & Ends pieces. I used This & That Stickers (the rainbow border and pink squiggle line) to embellish the side of the page. 

​

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to finish documenting your Easter pics using the Hoppy Easter collection!

HOPPY EASTER | Mini Album with Shellye

If you love traveler's notebooks then you must give this fun mini album a try!  These notebook albums are great for swaps, gifts and because this is Easter-themed, it's perfect for an Easter basket.

For the cover: I took a 12X12 sheet of double-sided paper from the "Hoppy Easter" Collection and trimmed down to 7.25" X 11.25".  Next I scored the 11.25" length at 5 3/8" and 5 7/8".  I used a heat laminator to laminate both sides of the paper but this is optional.  If you look to create these as gifts or to sell I would highly recommend investing in this handy tool!

As you can see above, I punched to small holes into the "spine" of the cover and threaded through white elastic cording to hold the inserts in place.  

For the closure I also added a length of the same elastic cording.  To do so: create a small hold in the center of the spine and insert a knotted band of the elastic through the hole.  I tied on some ribbon from my stash and made a cute embellished tag to match the cover!

For the inside: To the two elastic loops on the inside of the notebook, I created two booklets from smooth white cardstock and a cover of patterned paper.  For each booklet I cut three sheets of white cardstock to measure 7"X10"; the cover measures 7.5"X10.25".  The sheets were folded in half and then sandwiched together.  I did choose to machine stitch down the center of the notebook, but again this optional.  

The notebook pages were decorated with journal cards, greeting cards, doilies, stickers, die-cuts, washi tape, sprinkles and more coordinates! I also made the journal cards interactive by creating them into little flip-up cards.

So whether you add more inserts, dashboards or pockets, the possibilities are endless when designing these fun notebook albums!  I hope that you'll give it a try!
