We are starting Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and the weather has improved a little bit. We are still spending time indoors and getting crafty. I am loving the Lucky Me collection as it has the perfect color combination, the cutest icons and it is perfect to document all sorts of stories. Here is what I have created:
I wanted to use a simple design for my page using some of left over pieces from previous projects. So, a clean design was the way to go to highlight both the photo and the rest of the page.
I started by choosing Bumblebee floral/graph petite prints for my background. Next, I cut strips of Clover Patch and My Lucky Charm paper and layered them with some of the border strips from the This & That sticker sheet. I framed my photo with a paper from the 6x8 paper pad, and set it on the layout.
I combined pieces from the All the Things pack and icon stickers to create a large cluster at the bottom left corner of the page. I made sure that it balanced the top part of the layout. I also added a few pieces from the icon stickers to create a cluster at the top right corner of the photo. To finish, I added a few Sprinkles around the page.
I love how this turned out! I hope this inspires you to get crafty with your Lucky Me collection, I cannot wait to see what you will create with it! XO

The Lucky Me Collection is perfect for documenting your spring memories, it's so bright and cheery! I thought it would be fun to create a little tag mini album this time around, take a peek...
I started by making a chipboard cover for my mini. I cut chipboard (2 cover pieces measuring 4 5/8" x 6 1/4", and one piece 1" x 6 1/4 for the spine. I covered the chipboard with some St. Paddy's Plaid paper on the outside and some Limeade Gingham Linen Petite Prints on the inside. To decorate my cover I used the You Are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts.
For my pages, I created some tags using a combination of papers from the collection and the coordinating Lucky Petite Prints, stitched together. I also created one tag using the Rainbow Drops Heavy weight acetate. Each tag measured approximately 3 1/2" wide by 5 5/8" tall. I cut the top corner notches about 5/8" in on each side. For each tag I used a 3/4" circle punch to cut some lily white textured cardstock. I used these as reinforcements for the tag holes.
Once I had my tags put together, I embellished them all with a variety of goodies including, Icon Stickers, This & That Stickers, Puffy Icon Stickers, All the Things, a Doodle Pop and lots of shaped sprinkles! My photo mats were cut using stitched dies from my stash. Here's some more views of the pages.
I secured the pages in my book with a white 1.5" book ring, and I used a piece of ribbon to secure the book closed. It's now ready for me to fill with some fun spring memories!

Hello crafty Friends, It's Conny here from The Daily Life Of Creativity, with the lovely Lucky Me collection. Today I have another fun mini album. This mini
album is 5.5" x 5.5" with scalloped acrylic covers. To start my album I embellished the
front covers. I used the Shadow Box Insert Kit to decorate them. It was easy, I used the shadowbox template as a guide, placing it under the acrylic. I used mostly
Lucky Me icons stickers, Lucky Me sprinkle assortments, bright shapes, and
swapping in the Leprechaun Doodle-Pop to add a little layering among all the other stickers.
I focused my embellishments mostly on the right and middle of the cover, leaving the
left corner open to add an acrylic rainbow charm. I used 1"
gold binder rings to bind the album. Inside, I created a shaker with heavyweight clear acetate. I used 2 pieces stitched into a pocket using my sewing machine. I filled the pocket with the Rainbow Bright sprinkles, the Lots of Luck shaker mix, some pink
sequins, and a few colorful shaker balls. I stitched all the way around and
added eyelets at the top just to make sure everything stays secure.
What I
really love about my first page is how it layers with the cover. When you look
at the album, you see the embellished acrylic first, then the shaker behind it,
and then the patterned paper with clouds and rainbows underneath. I love the movement and depth.
Continuing through
the album, I created photo mats using white cardstock cut to 4.25 by 4.25, and
then layered those onto some of the coordinating Lucky Me Petite Prints. I mostly
used the polka dot sides because I just love how they look. I alternated the
colors depending on the page's patterned paper. I then decorated with all the beautiful icons and phrases from the All the Things Pack.
I added my embellishments using foam adhesive. I placed them on the sides of the pages, making sure to leave space underneath so it is easy to slip a photo underneath. I love doing that because it gives you that layered look, but it still
keeps the page functional. I also trimmed down some of the smaller phrases from
the 6x8 paper pad, like “thinking of you,” “you have a heart of gold,” and a few
others. Those little phrases come in really handy for filling in small areas and
adding just a bit more detail without overwhelming the page.
Throughout the
album, I continued using the shape sprinkles, especially the Rainbow Bright
flowers, adding them into the corners, . I also
used some of the cards and envelopes from the collection. I
resized some of them slightly by trimming them down to turn them into flip pages.
When you flip them up, you have space to add multiple photos or even journaling.
Personally, I like having the
option to hide my journaling; not everything needs to be seen right away,
sometimes it’s just meant for you or for that special person. On one of the
pages, I created a pocket and added a mat using the Lucky Lady shape sprinkles.
They’re dimensional and super cute. Inside the pocket, I tucked in some 3x4
cards, tags, and extra pieces from the collection. One of my favorite details is
the pink envelope from the cards and envelopes assortment. It’s roughly about
4x4 inches, and it fits perfectly on the page. I added holes at the top and
created a simple closure using a 1-inch circle punch, standard eyelets, and some
white string, which makes it interactive but still really easy to use.
This mini album is definitely one of the favorites that I’ve created with this
collection. I already made a chipboard mini album- See
process video here
,
an acetate album, and even some
rosettes, so this is actually my fourth project using Lucky Me - and I’ve honestly
enjoyed every single one. Let me know what you think about this one, and I’ll
see you guys in the next project. Thank you so much for stopping by! Xo, Conny!
