SEASIDE SUMMER STANDING ALBUM | with Jen
Seaside Summer is so fun - so why not make a fun album for all your beach pictures!
Today I have a graduated mini album using Seaside Summer and I have a full tutorial for it as well! I wanted to have my album pages to be like waves, moving toward you as you flip through the book.
The book is meant to stand on it's end as a display piece. Depending on how you decorate it you can have lots of the fun elements from the collection popping out!
Each page has an insert and I used Chit Chat pieces title the pages . Each page and each insert will hold multiple photos.
I used the border strips at the top of each page to add interest. Inside are lots of flaps and belly bands.
In the back of the album I added a box pocket with a string closure.
My video walkthrough and full tutorial can be found here. Have a great day!

SEASIDE SUMMER LIGHTHOUSE MINI ALBUM | With Traci
Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing a really cute lighthouse shaped mini album. Its coastal theme is perfect for saving summer photos of the beach, boating, or an amazing lighthouse. I created this unique scrapbook with the adorable Seaside Summer Collection and the Lighthouse 2 cutting file.
What a cute shape! I sized the file to approx. 3.25" x 10" and cut the front and back covers out of white acrylic. But, you could easily use white cardstock instead. The details on this are awesome ... the domed cupola, the catwalk, and the "rope" railing at the bottom. So fun!
To decorate the cover .. I chose the blue 12x12 Surf's Up print for the main tower section, then filled in the smaller spaces with a few colorful prints from the 6x6 paper pad.
To make the lantern sparkle, I added a few mini jewels in bumblebee. The pretty scalloped border with the flowers and the rainbow heart are both stickers from the This & That sheet.
The icons stickers were the perfect size for this mini album so, I added the cute little seagull to the railing. The word bubble is from the Chit Chat.
On the inside of the front cover, I added an adorable beach house icon sticker, a 2x3 card from the 6x6 paper pad, and a few more Chit Chat pieces. Next, I cut 6 pages out of white cardstock and covered each one in 12x12 pattern papers.
I made photo mats for each page using the smaller 6x6 prints. And above, I included the adorable summer memories journaling card. It's also from the 6x6 paper pad.
Check out all of the happy colors, cute stickers, and playful prints. They're perfect for summer!
Did you notice the puffy shape icon stickers? I absolutely love these!! The blue whale is one and two photos up ... there is a cute little sunshine!
Here, I used the 2x2 cards from the 6x6 paper pad to create 2 small flippies. These are so cute and super practical. Now I can fit 4 photos on this page instead of just 2!
Above, I added 3 round die cut pieces from the Chit Chat to use as photo mats. (The white circles represent your pictures.)
Well, that's it for me today! I hope my lighthouse mini album inspires you to create something fun with the Seaside Summer Collection. Don't forget about the awesome cut files, too. Both are perfect for highlighting your summer photos or ... for any papercrafting project! 😊
