Doodlebug Design Inc Blog: LUCKY ME PAPERCLIP MINI ALBUM

Hello Crafty friends! Today, I am sharing this cheerful and colorful paper clip mini album I created using the absolutely adorable Lucky Me collection. This happy little album is perfect for celebrating loved ones, documenting St. Patrick's Day memories, or filling with everyday photos.

The base of this album is 4 pieces of various pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. To make my album, I used the Shamrock Wishes pattern paper, the Swimming Pool Dot/Stripe and Cherry Gingham/Linen papers, and the Rainbow Drops Acetate. These papers measure 3x12 inches. I layered them together, leaving about an inch on the bottom between each paper. I then folded the papers in half and threaded them through a big gold paper clip. I adhered the papers with strong adhesive, and this made the base of the album.

To decorate the album, I used All the Things Die cuts, the Puffy Stickers, and the Lucky Me Sprinkles. I also added some buttons, twine, and ribbon from my stash to decorate the pages as well. These all add texture, color, and that signature Doodlebug charm.

The cover is full of layers and dimension! I started with the bright shamrock pattern paper from Shamrock Wishes and then layered it up with a doily, a cute ladybug and flower die cut, and the Lucky Me sentiment sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. A large rainbow colored bow tied with a bright yellow button adds a fun, festive touch. The oversized paper clip binding makes this mini album both functional and adorable.

The first inside pages feature this adorable slot machine die cut that I adorned with a few Puffy Sticker sparkles.

A "so lucky in love" ticket and a sweet little ladybug die cut add personality and dimension with some added Puffy Sticker hearts.

This page is all about St. Patrick's Day charm! The adorable leprechaun surrounded by a wreath of clovers and flowers pops against the pretty cherry-patterned paper. These die cuts are all from the All the Things pack. For the dimension, I added an orange Puffy sticker flower.

The acetate makes for such a fun and different page in this album, and I just love all of those colorful polka dots. I added a "you're my lucky charm" banner sentiment die cut along the bottom edge.

I used the Lucky Charm pattern paper to decorate this page, and it's so cute! A cute bunch of mushrooms and a ladybug die cut frame out these cute page.

Bright rainbows and happy sunshine make this page feel extra joyful. I layered a banner shape cut out of the Rainbow Skies paper and then added the 3 die cuts on top. I added a couple of enamel dots to the cheeks on the sun for dimension.

This page features a photo spot and a sweet little car with lucky passengers and a "follow your Rainbow" sticker sentiment. Don't forget to take a look at the cute shamrock Puffy Sticker. It looks perfect on the hood of the cute car.

This little section of the Swimming pool petite print was the perfect spot for this adorable sticker from the This and That Sticker sheet. How beautiful are those flowers? An enamel dot in the center of the bow makes for a simple pop of dimension on this page.

One more acetate sheet was decorated here with a photo mat and some of the cute circle die cuts. It was great to make the front and the back of this page functional because of the similar-shaped photo mat and circle die cuts.

I cut one of the 3 x4 cut apart cards found on the Color Me Happy paper. I scored the top of the card and then added a photo mat underneath it. This little flippy adds some fun interactivity to the album! Another pretty yellow button is added to the bottom.

I just love this cute little die cut so much! I knew I had to use it in my album! It looks perfect on top of a small photo mat. A few flower die cuts are layered along the bottom with an enamel dot in the center of the orange flower.

The final page includes a tag from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper tucked into a pocket along with another photo mat. I added the "love this" sticker to the top of the photo mat. The pretty green house die cut fit perfectly along the bottom of the pocket. Twine tied at the top of the tag adds texture and a cute finishing touch. This page wraps up the album perfectly and gives one more spot for journaling or photos.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this colorful Lucky Me album has inspired you to pull out this cute collection and create a cute mini album of your own. Whether you fill it with everyday memories, loved ones, or festive St. Patrick's Day moments, it's sure to become a treasured keepsake.

Happy crafting, friends!
