Summer Beach Pocket Page Scrapbook Album

Hello friends and Hello Summer! This fun scrapbook album makes me so happy. And it's not just because of the family memories ... it's also because I'm loving this Simple Stories Hello Summer collection. 🌞🌴🍉

 

This is my sister and her adorable family on one of our summer beach trips. As you know, my boys and my nieces are all grown up now soooo ... I am WAY behind on saving these memories. But pocket page scrapbooking and this Simple Stories Sn@p album makes it so easy!

 

 

Check out the folding card element above. Half of it is inside the page protector and ... after cutting a thin slit in the plastic, the other half can be outside.

 

 

I love adding a folding element to my albums. They give you extra photo space and ... they're fun! I used foam adhesive to adhere the flower and palm tree die cuts to the card and give them a little dimension. I also added a sticker behind my photo mat for an extra detail.

 

Most of these pages are pocket pages, but I also like to create page layouts so, I use the 6x8 sleeves for this. 

 

I love my summer photos. Being able to save them in a beautiful scrapbook brings me so much joy and I know they'll be safe & sound whenever I want to look back on them!

Fan-tastic Birthday Card with Lori Whitlock Designs

Hi everyone! Despite my love for mini albums, I do have fun with cards too, especially when I come across a card design as cute as this one!

Isn't this fun?!  The top of the box lays flat, and then when you pull the drawer open, the top lifts up. Lori has lots of Pop Up Drawer designs in her shop. Here is a shot of the back ... 

I tucked in a gift card and my present is all set ... super cute and fun to make! The paper, also designed by Lori for Echo Park, is called Wish Upon A Star.

Sweet Summer Fun Scrapbook Album

Hey guys! Summer is almost here in Georgia and I couldn't be more ready! Don't get me wrong, spring is a beautiful time of year but it's the pollen. I'm ready for some sunshine without the sneezing! This is why my newest mini album titled Sweet Summer Fun makes me so happy. Summer fun ... here I come!

I designed this with a 6x8 inch yellow Simple Stories binder and the Doodlebug Design, Sweet Summer Collection. I added lots of die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat to the cover. Don't they look adorable paired with chunky the twine and sprinkles? Love! (Product links below.)

 

 

Another thing I love about this new collection? Well, I grew up in the 80's ... big hair, big shoulder pads, and a boombox on the beach with a collection of mix tapes. Need I say more?

 

There are such pretty colored papers and I'm definitely stocking up on that gorgeous plaid! I just love it.

 

 

How cute are those smiley-faced fruit? I love how Doodlebug puts a smiley face on everything. The sunshine paper above called Catching a Wave and fruit print is called Fruit Cocktail. Lots of summer vibes!

 

I like to add lined journaling spots throughout my albums. This paper comes in the Simple Stories binder that I used and looks so cute covered in colorful drinks and hearts!

 

I hope this gives you happy summer feelings for the season ahead. Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
