6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello there Doodlebug friends! I am thrilled to be back once again to share with you my last set of pages in my Snow Much Fun 6x8 Album! I have had the most fun time putting this cute little album together and am excited to show you what I have made. In case you missed the previous parts of the album, the cover can be found here, the first 4 pages can be found here, and the next batch of pages can be found here. Let's look at the final 4 pages, shall we?

I started this page using one of the chipboard dividers as my base. These beauties make the best bases for making interactive pages since they are not in a page protector. Here I took a 6 x 12 inch piece of the Frosted Friends paper and scored the top at 4 inches. This way you can see both sides of this pretty paper! I decorated the flap with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat packs.

Inside the flap is a great spot for a large 5x7 photo or a great spot to add some journaling.

I added this fun page with 4 photo spots on the back of the chipboard divider. This would be a great page to show your little Eskimos out playing in the snow! I just loved this large title from the Chit Chat as well!

Sometimes when I have a pattern paper with a more busy pattern to it, I love to make these fun folded inserts! I simply took the adorable Snow Much Fun pattern paper and trimmed it to 12 x10 inches. I scored the bottom edge of the paper at 3 inches and then folded it up so you can see both sides of the pattern. I used one of the pages as a guide to punch out my holes and then added this fun page to the album. It is filled with a photo spot, a cute 3x4 cut apart from the Frozen Flurry paper and then I made the top portion a top loading pocket.

Here we have some of the lovely blue Textured Cardstock as a base for more photos. The circle die cuts from Chit Chat are framed perfectly as I punched a half circle in the pattern paper base for it to peek out of!

Here is the back of the page with again a photo spot and a 3x4 cut apart.

A spot for 2 photos on the back of the pocket insert is shown here.

Next, we showcase the fun divided pocket pages. This time it is (4) 3 x4 spots. I filled the pockets with pattern papers and Petite Prints and even added some of the tags from the Freeze Tag paper to one of the pockets.

Here is the back of the pocket page. I added a few die cuts from the Odds and Ends here and then there are 2 more photo spots as well.

The final page is one of the side-loading pocket dividers and it was so fun to fill this pocket up! After I decorated the base with pattern papers from the Snow Happy Together and the Snow Day papers, I decorated the outer pocket with some snowflakes from the Bits and Pieces and the cute Winter title is from the Chit Chat. Inside the pocket is a photo spot and one of the journaling spots found on the Cold Streak paper.

The back of the page is yet another fun pocket page that I designed. It has two pockets that hold a tag and a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch photo. This is such a fun spot to add all those cute cut-apart tags on the Freeze Tag paper to! I loved this one!

Well, there you have it! The final 4 pages to the album that is just waiting to be filled up with all of those Winter fun memories and photos! I had such a great time putting this together and cannot WAIT to do more 6x8 albums in the future! I am hooked! These albums are of such great quality and have so many different design options to them. I am so thrilled to have been able to share these pages with you and hope you have gained some inspiration from them! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Stay warm and Happy Crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello friends! Today, I'm thrilled to share the cover of my 6x8 mini album using the Blue Jean album and the whimsical "Snow Much Fun" collection. Living here in Utah, where we truly have "the greatest snow on Earth," this project holds a special place in my heart. I'm so excited to use this album over the next two months to document the magical winter memories I've experienced. By the end, I hope to have a completed album full of inspiration for you to create your own winter-themed projects.

For the cover, I wanted to capture the cozy charm of a snow-covered home in winter. Here's how I put it all together:

To craft this adorable house design, I used a few pieces from the Home Sweet Home Chipboard album that I had lying on my shelf. I traced the cover pieces onto cardstock and pattern papers coordinating with the Snow Much Fun collection. I also turned to the Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts die that coordinates with the chipboard album to add details to my house like the scallop edge on the roof, the windows, the snow bunches on top of the windows, and the door. They all came together so quickly with the use of this die! I loved using some of our Sugar Coated cardstock for that snowy sparkle and shine as well. The beautiful snowflakes on the "Snow Happy Together" pattern paper I used for the background look so good when paired with the deep blue color of the Blue Jean album.

To bring the house to life I added a few die-cuts from the collection. A cute little bird and tree are from the Odds and Ends and my project would not be complete without a Doodle Pop! This sweet little "Frosty Fox" ties in the pretty grays in the collection so well! The heart on the door for a knob is also found on the Frosty Fox Doodle Pop.

My love of all things ribbon and twine all got highlighted here as well as you can see- I have various ribbons tied to the album as well as some Blue Jean Chunky Twine that ties my tag to the album. The tag is from the Bits and Pieces ephemera. The tag is decorated with the "Snow Place Like Home" sentiment from the Chit Chat and a few pretty green gems from the Mini Jewels. Notice how the house I did for my cover is the same color scheme as the one on this sentiment? This was done purposefully to create continuity in my project. The sentiment was actually my inspiration for the whole album as I truly think my home here in Utah - there is "snow place" like it!

The cover of any project is the theme setter, and I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out! It's the perfect starting point for what's to come inside the album. I hope it has you as excited as I am to see how the inside pages take shape over the next coming months. Stay tuned as I fill this album with fun pages. I really hope it inspires you to create your own albums, capturing memories that warm your heart through the coldest days! Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

TINSEL TIME MERRY & BRIGHT LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello there - I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you and yours well for the upcoming new year! Sooo - now that Christmas has passed, it's the perfect time to dive into all of those festive photos and start preserving those magical memories in scrapbook layouts! For today's post, I'm sharing a fun and festive layout featuring the adorable Tinsel Town collection. As you can see, this cheerful collection is so bright and colorful - it was just a joy to create with!

I based my layout on a favorite photo from my recent trip to Disneyland - because what better way to relive the holiday magic than through a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Let's jump into all the details of this project!

I have always wanted to do a layout with a smattering of these 3D stars across it - I have a layout like this pinned to my favorite layout Pinterest board that features this type of embellishing and I knew that with these pretty colors, this would be a great collection and photo to do this embellishing!

My photo is backed with layers of textured cardstock and the pretty plaid paper on the Festive Floral paper is just the right touch for my photo. Since the photo was taken in front of the Christmas tree on Main Street, it seemed right to add a die-cut tree and lights to the layout. These are from the Odds and Ends and cute light strands are from the Bits and Pieces. I also added a few banner strips of pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. The silvery mulit -colored dots that I used for my background is the Snow Bright paper and it's perfect!

The "Merry and Bright" title is from the Chit Chat die cuts and I loved how it perfectly summed up my photo of me with my mom and girls - such a fun memory with them!

For my stars, I used a metal die and then used some Textured cardstock and Petite Prints to make them. I scored each point and then folded on the lines to make a few of them 3D. It really adds great dimension to the layout. I also added some little sparkle stickers from the Puffy Stickers, and some of the Sprinkles on some of the centers. For some added sparkle and shine - I used some Stickles glitter glue to accentuate some of the stars.

For my journaling on this layout, I decided to add some hidden journaling tucked behind my photo. I used one of the tags from the Bits and Pieces pack, typed up my journaling and added it to the tag. I topped the tag with some Cupcake Twine and a heart die cut. More sparkle from the Stickles was added here as well. If you find yourself not having a lot of room to journal on your layouts - this technique with the hidden tag is great!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your favorite holiday photos, grab the Tinsel Town collection, and start creating beautiful layouts that beautifully capture your cherished memories. Scrapbooking is such a meaningful way to preserve these moments for future generations to enjoy and connect with. Wishing you all a season filled with joy, creativity, lots of color, and love - Happy Holidays and Happy Scrapping!

TINSEL TIME CARDS & TAGS | with Tya

The holiday season is here, and there is nothing more heartfelt than giving a handmade card or tag to accompany your gifts! Using the cheerful and whimsical Tinsel Time collection, I created a delightful assortment of holiday-themed cards and tags perfect for spreading joy!

Let's get a closer look at them!

I used a wide variety of all of the adorable pattern papers and embellishments to create my cards as well as the Petite Prints that coordinate with this collection! Aren't the colors so lovely? I love adding lots of bling to my cards for interest and the beautiful jewels found on the Holly Mini Jewels shine so pretty here!

My pattern papers came from the 6x6 Paper Pad and were the perfect scale for this fun tag featuring the big man himself! I love addition of the lovely silver to this line!

Ribbon and twine are a favorite of mine so I added some pink tulle to the top of this sweet wreath die cut from the Bits and Pieces. Pretty pops of pink are so stunning on this card!

Do you even make a Doodlebug project if you don't add a Doodle Pop or two? I love this sweet little deer found on the "So Endeering" Doodle Pop. This sweet tag also features a sentiment tag from the Chit Chat die cuts.

I have fallen in love with square-shaped cards as of late and this fun card with all of the cute ornaments from the Odds and Ends was a really fun card to put together. Each ornament is decorated with various Sprinkle Shapes from the collection.

This candy cane from the Odds and Ends makes the perfect focal point for this pretty tag. I mounted a tag from the Bits and Pieces onto a larger tag for some interest and then added my embellishments.

The cut-apart 4x4 cards on the Happy Holly Days pattern paper make for great cards! Take this wintery whimsical scene - so fun then you layer on some snowflake die cuts, and a border sticker from the This and That Sticker Sheet - they sure add a fun touch to this card.

In the Chit Chat die cuts there are the cutest postage stamp die cuts that I added as the sentiment to this tag. This tag is actually my favorite because I love the colors and that stunning floral paper is so gorgeous with this grouping of embellishments. Did I also mention I ADORE the bottle brush trees in this collection - absolutely the cutest!!

My last card features a little Christmas Scene with the fireplace, tree, and presents - classic Christmas colors are represented here and a few more shape sprinkles add festive touches.

So that's the project for today! From the playful icons and festive patterns to vibrant colors and charming embellishments, this collection made it so much fun to craft these little works of art. Whether you are tucking them into a gift bag or paring them with a wrapped present, these handmade creations are sure to bring smiles to your loved ones this season! Have a wonderful holiday season and we will see you next time!

FARMHOUSE GRATEFUL LAYOUT | with Tya

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! Today I wanted to take a moment to reflect on gratitude. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to design for Doodlebug- a company whose products always inspire me to create with joy. It's a privilege to share my love of crafting with such an incredible community, and I hope this layout- featuring the simply lovely Farmhouse collection, brings a little inspiration to your day!

As I sat down to create, I was drawn to the This and That sticker sheet. This is always a good starting place for me because I look here for titles. The "begin each day with a grateful heart" was just what I was looking for. Those words felt especially meaningful as we celebrate a season of gratitude. I wanted to design a quick and simple layout that would bring this beautiful sentiment to the forefront. I built a layered cluster around this sticker with a tag, stamp, and heart die cuts from the Bits and Pieces ephemera and some stickers.

I balanced the design with a selfie photo matting it with some Coral Textured Cardstock. I added a Bon Bon Doily for some added texture in this grouping. Under my photo is a border of beautiful florals and leaves from one of the die cuts in the Bits and Pieces.

Up in the top left corner of the layout is another grouping of embellishments as well as my journaling. The pop of black in the embellishments paired well with my black-and-white photo. You can also see that I cut out one of the tags from the Buffalo Plaid patterned paper. Here you can also see the pattern papers I used on my layout - the pretty plaid on the Country Quilt paper, the lovely mint on the Farmhouse paper, and the delicious dots on the Woodland Berries paper.

I love all the tag shapes that are found in the collection so along the left side of my layout, I chose 5 tags - 3 from the Bits and Pieces and 2 cut from the Give Thanks tag cut apart paper. I tied some Beetle Black Doodle Twine to a few of the tags to tie in the black and white colors.

As I reflect on this project, I am reminded of the importance of gratitude - not just during the holiday season, but every day. I hope this layout inspires you to celebrate the big and small moments of life with a grateful heart.

  

Thank you all for stopping by today - wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and creativity! Take care and we will see you next time!
