This would make a great keepsake for photos of spring, summer, friends, family, and fun everyday moments. Add photos of a day of gardening, the kiddos, an afternoon at the park, enjoying nature, coffee with friends, or a trip to the botanical gardens.

I designed this with the adorable PhotoPlay, Tulla and Norbert Collection and a 6x8 inch chipboard album by 49 & Market. The album has 12+ pages that include interactive flippies, fold-out pages, pockets, and space for at least 30 photos.

I love this nature / woodland theme. Garden themed nurseries are classic so this could be perfect for pictures of a baby shower or as a gift. With sayings like "Hello Sunshine", "Gnome Sweet Gnome" and "It's the Little Things" - it would be adorable for new baby pics.

This would be an awesome keepsake for photos of a girls weekend, a fun tea party, or a birthday party. Maybe your teenagers have special photos with friends that need a space to be saved.

There are so many gnomes scattered throughout the pages. These fairy tale characters are thought to be guardians of underground treasure and are known to plant wildflowers wherever they go. Oh... I need some gnomes in my yard. Treasure and flowers? Yes please! Thanks so much for stopping by ...

Heart Shaped Love Notes Scrapbook Mini Album

Hi friends! It's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project and this one is perfect for Valentine's Day. It's a heart shaped mini album made with the wonderful Love Notes Collection. It's filled with pretty flowers, cute birds, mail, and my favorite Doodlebug colors ... cherry, bumblebee, and pistachio. It makes me so happy!

Heart Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album with flowers, birds, and love notes

To make this, I cut 6 heart shaped pages out of white cardstock and layered them (front and back) with pretty 6x6 pattern papers and petite prints. Next, I punched a hole in each one for the binder ring.

Time to embellish. On the cover, I added lots of cute die cuts, stickers, enamel sprinkles, and 2 Doodle-pops. The envelope with the flowers is called Sending Love and the birds are called Tweathearts (links below).

Inside, I placed a second flower cluster back-to-back with the one on the front so they'd match. There were two of them in the Odds & Ends package, so I was able to extend them off the page without the white backs showing. I added some shape sprinkles then, the "Love you bunches" sticker from the This & That sheet.

Here, I made the cute photo mat using a scalloped circle punch and a circle punch from Marvy Uchida. The matching flower cluster is from the icon stickers and I added sprinkles throughout the album for a little shine.

Oooo, I love this pretty pink page. I used the Petite Prints Dot and Stripe in cupcake for the background, then added the Forever Plaid and yellow border stickers across the middle. Next came the photo mat, another flower die cut, and some enamel glitter dots!

The Sweat Hearts paper on this page is the perfect backdrop for the folding card in the center. The pink mat is actually a 3x3 Doodlebug card that lifts up to reveal space for two photos or journaling!

How cute are these pages? I added more little birds from the Tweathearts Doodle-pops, the clipboard is a mini icon sticker, and the scallop "love you" circle is a This & That sticker. I'm pretty sure I used every type of embellishment in this collection!

12x12 Love Notes Scrapbook Page Kit

Happy Sunday! Oh, I love the weekends. Everything feels relaxed and happy. Did you know that people are the happiest on Saturdays at 7:26pm. Really, 7:26pm? That's oddly specific, but ... ok. With what I do for a living, I'm pretty lucky to be happy most of the time. I mean, it's hard to be cranky when you're working with fun paper & cute embellishments all the time!

And speaking of cute ... check out my new 12x12 Love Notes Layout Kit. I designed these 4 pages with the adorable Doodlebug Design, Love Notes Collection.


To purchase the instructions for these visit:

Although this doesn't have to be for Valentine's Day, that occasion isn't far off. This would be great for all those selfies of you and your sweetie. So, basically you can get 2 fun nights outta this. One - date night with your cutie taking brag-worthy photos. And two - a fun scrappin' night with your girls, saving those super cute pics! Win, win!



These pages aren't overly romantic so they can be used for any occasion where you're with someone you love. With sayings like "You Make My Heart Smile", your kids or grandkids pics would be adorable on these pages! Or pics of matching mommy & me outfits!


Oooo! A "Gal-entine's Day" outing just for the girls or a sweet daddy/daughter night out for ice cream would be so cute too! There are spaces for 12-13 photos of varying sizes and places to journal so you can write all about that fun or special occasion.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by!

Update: This kit has sold out but the instructions are available in my shop. They are simple, step-by-step, and include full color photos of each page. Links for the instructions and the products used are below. Happy scrappin'!

You & Me Love Notes Scrapbook Album Kit

Happy New Year guys!  2020 is here and I'm so excited for what the new year will bring. I hope everyone had a really wonderful holiday. I loved being with my family and watching my 3 year old granddaughter enjoy Christmas. So much fun! 

But, now it's time to get back to work and I'm happy to share my latest album with you. It's called You and Me Love Notes and it's just in time for Valentine's Day! 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed this with the (oh so cute!) Doodlebug Design, Love Notes Collection and a 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder album in robin's egg blue. 

This is filled with so many great images of pretty flowers, yummy treats, hearts, & little birds. It's got the "love is in the air" feeling mixed with a springtime theme so ... it's great for all occasions.

Check out the whimsical heart paper, bright plaid, and happy colors. Since it's not overly romantic, it's perfect for any relationship. There's a pocket to save a love note from your sweetie or you can use it to save a cute little message from your children or grandkids.

This makes a fun activity to create then you get to fill it with pictures. Add ones of you and your sweetheart, family, best friends, littles, or anyone that's important to you. Or, give it as an amazing handmade gift!


This mini has 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include folding pages, flippies, pockets and space for at least 60 photos. It also uses 8 divided plastic photo sleeves for extra photos.

Winter Snowflake Photo Wall Hanging with Doodlebug

Sometimes when I see a new product I get an idea for using it right away.  That's what happened when I saw the acetate snowflakes in the Winter Wonderland Odds & Ends.  I just thought they would be so pretty hanging down from a wall or mobile!

To make this wall hanging, which I also think will be pretty in front of a window, I laid out all of the acetate snowflakes on my craft table first.  This helped with picking sizes and colors.  Then I used a 1/16" hole punch to punch two tiny holes in each piece. 

I used fishing line to string the snowflakes and added a Doodlebug jewel to the front and back of each one.


I added a few snowman sprinkles here and there, and weighted the bottom of the fishing line with two large jewels back to back.

Finally, I added washi tape, die cuts, and ribbon to a thin piece of wood, and hung each strand of snowflakes across the back. 

It really looks so pretty hanging over my corner desk in my craft room, but would also be great in front of a window!  Another idea would be to hang the strands around a decorated embroidery hoop!  Thanks for checking in today, and hopefully I've given you another idea for using these beautiful acetate snowflakes and jewels!
