COLOR ME CRAFTY ONE PAGE MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends!  It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m back sharing another project using the colorful and fun Color Me Crafty collection.

Let's get started! For this project, I created this adorable mini album that’s perfect for documenting crafty retreats, crop weekends, creative friends, and all those special crafting memories.

The album measures 4” x 5¾”. To create the base, I started with one sheet of the Color Me Crafty Solid Assortment textured cardstock in purple. I scored the 12” side at 4” and 8”. Then I turned the cardstock and scored at 5¾” and 6¼” to create a ½” spine.

Next, I trimmed away the ½” sections on both ends and folded everything accordion-style so the pages alternate from top to bottom, creating a fun zig-zag interactive structure. You can absolutely make this album using only the 6” x 8” paper pad, but I wanted the covers to be a little sturdier, so I added chipboard covers. The chipboard pieces were trimmed to 4” x 5¾” and covered with papers from the 6" x 8" paper pad measuring 6 3/4" x 5". I chose the adorable icon print for one side and the floral pattern for the other, which coordinates beautifully with the colorful theme.

For the inside pages, I layered patterned papers, cardstock mats, and photo mats throughout the album. The larger photo mats measure approximately 3½” x 5¼”, making them perfect for photos from your favorite crafty adventures. For the cover, I used the Just a Note Doodle-Pop along with the BFF's Doodle-Pop. I layered them with stickers from the This & That sticker sheet, added a few puffy hearts and icons, and finished everything with dimension using foam adhesive.

Before attaching the chipboard covers to the album base, I secured this beautiful rainbow ribbon closure. I found it online, and I think it coordinates perfectly with all the bright and cheerful colors in the Color Me Crafty collection.

I absolutely love how colorful and interactive this mini album turned out, and I think it’s the perfect place to document crafty retreats, classes, crop weekends, and all those wonderful memories made with creative friends.

Let me know what you think, and I’ll see you again soon with another crafty project!
Xo, Conny!

COLOR ME CRAFTY 12x12 PAGE LAYOUT | with Traci

Hello crafty friends!  It's Traci and I'm excited to be on the blog today with another Color Me Crafty project!  Aren't you just loving this new collection?? Oh my goodness, the colors and the adorable icons and patterns are so much fun to create with!  Today I'm sharing a 12x12 page that I plan to add photos to after an upcoming retreat.

I absolutely love how a stripe looks as the base of a page, so I layered the sheet called Colorway with citrus and white pieces of card stock.  I cut some circle shapes with my Cricut out of Bubblegum card stock and added them to the center of my background.

Crafty Weekend Girl was the perfect title for my page.  These pieces come in the Chit Chat pack along with 99 (!) other adorable phrases, word strips, and cute sentiments.

The flowers are from the Bits & Pieces pack, and those fun scissors are from the Odds & Ends.  Die cuts are my favorite crafty embellishment, well ... next to enamel dots and sprinkles of course!  :)

How cute is that layered camera, flowers, and photos piece!!?  That is also in the Bits & Pieces and it fit perfectly clustered over my colorful little photo mats.  Some shape sprinkles, a couple This and That stickers, and a few more die cuts finished off my page.  I love all of the color and can't wait to add my pictures!

I hope my page has inspired you to create something fun with Color Me Crafty!

COLOR ME CRAFTY - CRAFTY FRIENDS LAYOUT | with Inessa

I'm back with my second 12x12 scrapbook layout featuring the Color Me Crafty collection! It's perfect for documenting all of your crops, craft days with friends and events. 

I started with the "plaid it's purple" paper as my foundation. Next, I trimmed a sheet of lily white cardstock to approximately 11½" x 11½" and adhered it to the pink floral side of the "rows of ribbons" paper.  I trimmed around it leaving about a ⅛" border around the edge.

 

For the focal point of the layout, I cut out two tags from the "colorway" paper. After hole punching the tops, I threaded them with limeade and cupcake doodle twine. I added 3" x 3" photos to the front of each tag and layered them on the right side of the layout. When positioning the tags, be sure to leave some room above and below for embellishments, banners, florals, and the title.

On the left side of the page, I created a decorative accent using a block from the "crafty colors" paper. To give the appearance that it was wrapped around the page, I added cupcake doodle twine across the top and bottom and finished it with small bows for an extra touch of whimsy.

For the title, I used the chit chat pack to spell out "Crafty Friends." The title is adhered with foam adhesive to add dimension and help it stand out from the background.

To finish the layout, I embellished with florals from the Bits and Pieces pack along with a mix of BFFs and Tools of the Trade doodle pops. The dimensional embellishments add so much personality and tie the crafty theme together perfectly.  A few puffy icon hearts and sprinkles add cute and fun details.

This bright and cheerful design is a great way to celebrate the special friendships we make through crafting while showcasing favorite photos from crops, retreats, and creative adventures together.
