FARMERS MARKET TINY ALBUM | with Jen

Doodlebug Icons are some of my favorite embellishments. Whether they are puffy, mini, or full size they make decorating a project easy and fun. With that in mind I made a Mini Mini Album.

The album measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" for the chipboard covers that I wrapped with the 12" x 12" falling leaves paper. The interior pages measure 4" x 4". I punched holes in both and used colored binder rings to assemble the album.

One some pages I expanded the page base 4" x 7" to include a flap for the 3" x 4" journaling cut-aparts from the collection. I also expanded a couple of pages to 4" x 6" to add the tags from the garden tags paper to the flap.

I matted the pages using the 6" x 6" paper pad. I decorated with Icon stickers, Mini Icons, and Puffy Icons.

I used some fun elements from the Bits and Pieces pack and some more tags from the tag sheet in the pockets. I used a couple of Doodle Pops and two tone ribbon to finish the book. 

Have a great day!

AT THE ZOO MINI BOOK | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends! Hey there! Conny here with an exciting new project. I created a 5x8 album using the At the Zoo Collection, perfect for capturing and preserving all your wonderful zoo memories. This collection and album are the perfect solution for those special photos from the zoo that you've been meaning to document.

Let's get started! I started by cutting my pieces as follows:  

Chipboard pieces - (2) 5x8 inches, (1) 8X 21/2 inches. 

Pages: one 4 x 12 - Score at 5 and 10 inches. If you want to add a semi-pocket, you can use this measurement. For single pages, use 7 1/4" x 10".

Please remember the following instructions for covering the chipboard covers and spine:

You will need a piece measuring 6 5/8" x 9 5/8" for the cover and a piece measuring 4 1/4" x 9 5/8" for the spine.

To bind the album together, I used a piece of cardstock that is 8 X 12 inches long. Additionally, for the back cover, I used an extra piece that is 1 1/2" x 8" as the previous piece won't be long enough to cover the chipboard inside.

To hold the pages inside the album, I used 8 standard eyelets – 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom – with elastic string.

.

At the spine, I tied a bow with a ribbon. To embellish the cover page, I used one of the 4x6 cut apart cards, Sprinkles and Odds & Ends.

I embellished the album using various Odds & Ends and Mini Icon Stickers, as well as some This & That cardstock stickers. I left spaces for my 4x6, 2x2, and 3x4 photos, and I added an extra pocket on the covers for small items.

Thank you so much for stopping by we cant wait to see what you create using the At the Zoo Collection.

BUNNY HOP HELLO EASTER FLIP BOOK | with Jen

Today I have a simple flip book for you. I used the adorable Easter Dots Heavy Acetate for the covers on my book.

On the front I used the Bunny Basket Doodle Cuts stand alone die set to make the little Easter basket and make it into a shaker. I filled it with the new Bunnies and Chicks Shakers. I also used the Colored Eggs Shape Sprinkles in my basket.

The book has a mix of flat pages and pocket pages. I used a mix of the coordinating solid cardstock and coordinating Petite Prints for my page bases. I matted them with white photo mats and a mix of the 12x12 and 6x6 Bunny Hop papers.

The pages in the book are 5" x 7" inches. There are three dividers cut from the Easter Dots Acetate and I added tabs from the Bits and Pieces pack.

On some of the pages I used the tag sheet from the collection to make pockets. I added Chit Chat, Icon stickers, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet to decorate the pages.

Have a great day!

MADE WITH LOVE BAKING RECIPE BOOK | with Kathy

 I'm excited to be kicking off a couple of weeks of Made with Love Inspiration.  I adore this collection.  As a baker, I think all the cute little cooking icons are just the sweetest!  I decided to make a little baking recipe book to fill with my favorite treats.  This would make a fun gift for someone moving out on their own or for a new couple.  Take a peek...

The covers of my book are covered chipboard measuring 5.5" x 7.5".  It is bound using a hidden disc method (see this video for a tutorial).  I love using disc binding, especially for recipe books.  It makes adding pages so easy!

The binding is covered with some of Doodlebug's new Heavy Weight Acetate.  

On my inside cover I printed a kitchen conversions chart.  I always find those handy!  I decorated it with some of the Odds & Ends.    I divided my recipe book into 4 categories... and created a divider page for each.  They are decorated with Odds & Ends, Chit Chat pieces and they are labeled with Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.  I added a punched tab to the sides to easily turn to different categories.  

I punched the Made with Love Recipe Cards using my Cinch Multi Tool, so they could be added into the book.  In between some of the dividers, I added tags, cut-aparts and Odds & Ends for a little color and fun.  Here are some views of all the inside pages/dividers.

I just love all of the punny sayings!  I love that by using the disc binding that I can add in pages as needed!  I created a video run through of the album and it can be seen on my YouTube Channel below.

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

HELLO AGAIN HOME SWEET HOME (VERY) MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Again! Welcome to my beautiful casita today!  I'm sharing the tiniest/cutest mini album I have ever made using the Hello Again, Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts! This mini album can hold 2X2 photos or can be sent to a special someone who loves happy mail!

Let's get started! I began by die-cutting the pages using the house from the Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts. You need 13 pages with the patterned paper of your choice! I chose some cardstock from Hello Again Textured Cardstock Assortment for solid pages and some patterned pages from the Hello Again 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  You will also need two pieces of cardstock measuring 2” X 3” for the covers and one piece of cardstock for the spine measuring 2” X 2” . For the hinges I cut a piece of cardstock  2 1/2” X 1 3/4” scored 1/4” and 2 1/4” 1 1/2” X 1 3/4” scored 1/4 on both sides 1” X 1 3/4” scored at 1/4” on both sides. 

Next, add pages to the hinges, You will need twelve pages adding glue just to the edges creating a pocket sandwiching the pages between the hinges.

Let’s embellish, you need all the bitty, tiny embellishments throughout the collection, Puffy Stickers, tags from the 6” X6” paper pad, Mini Icon Stickers, sprinkles, and Odds & Ends!

Let us know what you think of my beautiful, colorful casita! We can’t wait to see what you make using the Doodle Cuts! Just another way of using it instead of doing cards! Love Conny! See you soon!

HELLO AGAIN MINI ALBUM | with Conny

I am so excited to be here sharing a Mini album with this gorgeous Collection- Hello Again! I love everything in this collection, the gold details in everything are just Wow! The album measures 8.5” by 5”. I can’t wait to add photos of beautiful moments with my little one.

Let’s get started! You will need two chipboard pieces measuring 8 ½” by 5” for the covers and for the spine one 8 ½” by 1 ¼” piece.  You will also need 12” by 12”  Texture Cardstock, I chose blush and  and pistachio to wrap the chipboard pieces. For the spine you need 4 ¾” by 8 ½”  piece of cardstock.  Adhere the spine in the middle and score on both sides and fold paper inward. I also added stitching on the front and back cover with my Singer sewing machine!

Next step is to put the chipboard together to create an album.  Adhere the spine to the front and back cover of the album placing the flaps inside the leaving 1/8” gap so the album can open and close. Cover the inside of the album you will need two pieces of cardstock from the Hello Again Collection measuring 5 by 8 ¼”. I used the hearts side of the bright side cardstock.   I added a little pocket in the front.

Inside the Album, on the spine,  I added 3 flaps- First one: 6” by 2 ½” scored at 1 & 1 ½”. Second 6” by 2” scored at 3/4” and 1 ¼” and the third one 6” by 1 ½” scored at ¾” and 1”.  I used double sided tape in the middle and placed one on top of the other and adhered to the middle of the spine.

Let’s embellish the cover page, I added the Gold Dot heavy weight acetate centered leaving 1/8” for a border- I love the tiny gold polka dots, they're  beautiful! I centered clusters of florals from the Bits & Pieces – added foam adhesive for dimension! Then, Fancy Flutters Doodle Pops & gold sprinkles.

For the pages, I used both the 12” by 12” , 6” by 6” patterned papers and 12” by 12” solid textured cardstock to create pockets, pages and flip pages.  I embellished with cardstock stickers and Bits & Pieces.   I even created a cute tassel with the doddle twine in the new coral color! 

Thank you once again for stopping by and we can’t wait to see what you create with Hello Again!
