OVER THE RAINBOW ENVELOPE ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I have a new mini album to share with you titled "Rainbow Kind of Day". It's made with colorful envelopes and cards from different Doodlebug collections and lots of Over The Rainbow goodies! What a fun project for spring. Take a look ...

I started by choosing 5 envelopes in bright colors, using the green one first. I covered the front of each envelope with white cardstock and added different 12x12 prints, embellishments, and photo mats.

Next, I added the Flower Garden paper to the lower half of this envelope and lots of cute die cut pieces and sprinkles. The sun, rainbow, and cloud are from the Odds & Ends, the title piece is from Chit Chat, and the little red heart is from the puffy shapes.

I love this cute cloud raining colorful hearts! I used foam tape on the back side to lift it off the page a bit. Then, I added the enamel heart shaped sprinkles on top and a few tiny dots here and there.

Inside, I lined each pocket with a colorful 12x12 print. In the photo above, I used the rainbow stripe called Shine Bright. I added the mushroom and fence pieces from the Odds & Ends, the "Love You" from the Chit Chat, and a few flower and ladybug enamel shape sprinkles.

I tucked a title card, a journaling card, and one A2 sized card into each of the envelope's pockets. I added cute patterned papers to the A2 cards and they're perfect for holding 4 photos.

I gave this page one large mat for an awesome spring photo. How cute is that hot air balloon and the wee little gnome?!

I love the simple polka dot paper I lined this envelope with. The tiny dots are a quieter pattern next to the larger prints but it still adds color and whimsy!

I hope this project inspires you to use envelopes and cards in a different way. And ... have fun playing with the amazing Over the Rainbow Collection! It's perfect for spring and will make you so happy!
