HELLO AGAIN TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK | with Erica

Hello friends! I am excited to be back sharing another project using the Hello Again collection from Doodlebug Design!

My project today was inspired by the beautiful Gold Dot Acetate in the Hello Again collection. I decided to create a mini album and use the acetate as the cover.

To start the album I first trimmed down a piece of the acetate. My album size is 8.25"x5.50" and it is the most adorable album that is ready to fill up with memories! I trimmed down different pattern papers from the Hello Again collection in different sizes. I love to add pages in different sizes and shapes into my albums.

This album has fun pockets and flip outs for even more photos and journaling! I ran the base pages through my sewing machine to add some texture and interest to my pages.

Adding shaped pages in your album like this large circle adds a nice little surprise to your book! It adds interest and it is just a fun and easy element to add to the album.

These albums are super easy to create and a great way to use up scraps from a collection. There is no wrong way to create these albums and there a many different ways to bind them. The easiest would be to just add them into one of the Doodlebug Design Travelers Notebook covers. The pages are easy to add to the elastic bands and the notebook cover protects the pages and even has pockets!

For my album I just used some pink stretchy cord to bind all my pages and it will make it super easy if I want to add more pages to my book! I just love how this album came together! If you would be interested in a tutorial on how to create the base of this album leave me a comment down below! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!
