Doodlebug Design Inc Blog: SNOW MUCH FUN CHIPBOARD HOUSE ALBUM

Hello crafters! Traci here and with the winter season upon us, I created a super fun mini album that's perfect for your chilly memories. It's a cute house shaped scrapbook made with Doodlebug's Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and the adorable Snow Much Fun Collection!

I just love this mini. The 5x7 inch chipboard album comes as a blank canvas that features two covers, a roof top piece, four dividers, and four pages. You could use any collection to decorate this but the winter one makes it look like a cute and cozy snow covered home that's great for photos of family, friends, everyday moments, and snow filled shenanigans!

For the cover, I chose a few pattern papers and solid card stock in pistachio, lilac, and sea glass. I cut the different shapes out with the Home Sweet Home Doodle cuts. This set includes 18 metal dies that are perfect for creating the intricate details like window frames, doors, flower boxes, potted plants, and more.

To decorate it, I used some mini icon stickers. They were the perfect size so I added the snowman, penguin, and adorable children peeking through the windows. Next came some shape sprinkles. I added a few snowflakes (Snow Colorful) to the roof, a heart over the front door (I Love Snow) and a lilac enamel dot for the doorknob. Then for a little sparkle ... I added some mini jewels along the scalloped roofline and glitter to the snow!

Inside, I covered the chipboard pages in pretty 6x6 and 12x12 pattern papers. On the layout above, I used the Snow Happy Together snowflake print in the background and made a journaling card from the 12x12 Cold Streak paper. Then, some cute Odds & Ends die cut pieces finished it off.

Here, I used with the other side of the Snow Happy Together paper. It's so cute filled with winter animals like polar bears, bunny rabbits, penguins, and seals. Next, I made a flippie with space inside for 2 photos. I used a sweet 4x4 card from the Spot of Snow paper and tucked a few die cuts behind it.

What a great page for pictures of playing in the snow! In the background, I added the Winter Wonderland print filled with tiny snowflakes. Then I made 2 photo mats out of the pretty plaid titled All Bundled Up. The title is a sticker from the This & That sheet, the snowflakes are from the Snow Colorful shape sprinkles, and the snowmen and penguin are from the Odds & Ends.

Ooooo, I love this gingham print called Ice Crystals. It's so beautiful and looks great with the die cuts from the Bits & Pieces! I chose a scalloped circle and cut it in two, placing one half on either side of the photo mat. Then, I added the snowflakes on top.

Isn't this page pretty? The lilac card stock is such a great color and makes the perfect background for the snowflake shape sprinkles and the cute snowmobile die cut. The "winter" tab and the scalloped border are stickers from the This & That sheet.

This collection has a great variety of embellishments and pattern papers to highlight your photos. You could use them for a ski vacation, the beautiful mountains, tubing, sledding, building a snowman, an Alaskan cruise, your snow covered home, and family memories. And ... there are so many! The Odds & Ends alone have 107 pieces ... not to mention the Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, and all the fabulous stickers! I love all the cute choices!

This page started with a playful polka dot print called Snow Day. Then I added a photo mat, some Odds & Ends, and lots of glimmering mini jewels. Love, love, love the sparkle!

I hope my House Shaped Winter Mini Album gives you a little seasonal inspiration. The Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and Snow Much Fun Collection are both SNOW MUCH FUN! It's cool colors, cute images, and pretty patterns are perfect for your winter craft projects. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrappin'!
