FARMERS MARKET OUR FAMILY MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I have a new project for fall that I made with the fabulous Farmer's Market Collection. As summer fades and autumn begins, we start to see changes in the colorful landscape, feel cooler temperatures, and have fun activities to look forward to. So, it's a great time for a new scrapbook!

I designed this with one of my white 5" x 4.5" acrylic mini albums. But, you could always use cardstock or chipboard for the covers instead. OK, time to decorate!

On the cover, I layered some colorful 6x6 papers. I chose the Market Preserves print with a cute polka dot on one side and lots of fun jars on the other. I used both, then added the beehive pattern called Bee Happy and the 4x4 "our family memories" card from the 12x12 Veggie Sticks paper. 

Inside, I added 12 white cardstock pages (24 scrapbook layouts) to fill with Doodlebug's amazing fall colors, 6x6 pattern papers, and super fun embellishments. On the page above, I added a photo mat and the adorable little bee and jar of flowers icon stickers. So cute!

This next page is perfect for a picture of a pumpkin patch. I covered the layout in bright colorful stripes from the 6x6 Veggie Sticks paper, then decorated it with the pumpkins icon sticker and saying from the 12x12 Veggie Sticks paper. 

I love to have embellishments popping out of the top of my albums. It expands the usable space on smaller pages AND adds visual interest. Here, I chose 3 die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. The round one could be used for photos or journaling. But the cutest part is ... the sweet kitty cat icon sticker in the center!

The Farmer's Market Collection is filled with such vibrant happy fall colors. This gorgeous plaid print is titled Farm Fresh and it's a great example. Love the unexpected touch of purple!

Here is 1 of the 3 pockets I created in this scrapbook. I used the front and back of the 6x6 Bee Happy print to cover the page and pocket, then added the orange pickup truck icon sticker. Can you tell I'm having fun with the icon stickers in this collection? They're so adorable!

Inside the pocket, I added a photo mat and more die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. I love their fun shapes. I chose the floral tag and the lined notepad paper to use for extra photos and journaling.

On this page, I used the 6x6 Market Preserves print in the background. So many little jars filled with colorful veggies! Next, I added the tag from the Bits & pieces, extended it off the page, and tied a piece of tangerine Chunky Doodle Twine to it. Then, I made a photo mat and added 2 tiny critters from the icon stickers. How stinkin' cute is that ladybug and mouse?! 🧡

Next, a fun interactive fold-out page! I used the whimsical polka dot print called Fall Berries in the background, then added a few leaves and a precious dog icon sticker. On the flap, I made a photo mat that is ALSO ... a flippie with a pretty journaling card inside! It's a great place to list autumn activities.

Doodlebug's Farmer's Market Collection is perfect for ALL your fall crafts whether it's a card, scrapbook layouts, a mini album, or any other paper crafting. I love it and I know you will too!

If you'd like to recreate my Our Family Memories Mini AlbumI'll be offering the DIY scrapbook kit in my shop tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day!

SUMMER FUN - FUN IN THE SUN LAYOUT | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook page that I created with the beautiful Summer Fun Collection. If you love bright cheerful colors and cute summer icons, this is a great layout idea for your favorite photos of the beach, a vacation, backyard fun, and sweet sunny memories. 🌞

12x12 Summer Fun Scrapbook Page Layout with tropical flowers, bright colors, palm trees, and lots of sunshine

I started with a 12x12 sheet of lily white card stock for the base. Then, I layered half the page with the beautiful blue floral called Let's Luau and the other half with the Pink Paradise pattern.

Next, I centered another sheet of white paper and added 3 photo mats across the top. I made these out of the Water Babies print, the Petite Prints Candy Stripe and Sprinkles in bubblegum, and the Gull Friends print.  

12x12 Summer Fun Scrapbook Page Layout with tropical flowers, bright colors, palm trees, luggage, and a cute chameleon

This page needed a splash of sunshine, so I cut a narrow strip of the Summer Fun pattern, notched the ends, and adhered it in the center. I added the This & That "Fun In The Sun" sticker on top and embellished the corner with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and more This & That stickers. I really do "love this"!

In the right corner, I added a photo mat cut from the back side of the Pink Paradise print. Those colorful flowers are so pretty! Then, I decorated using more This & That stickers and Odds & Ends pieces. And ... she was complete! Simple, fun, and perfect for happy warm weather pics! 

I hope this colorful layout inspires you to document your own summer memories with the fabulous Summer Fun Collection. Until next time, happy scrapping! 😊

SUMMER FUN FLIP FLOP MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hello Doodlebug friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a colorful new mini album that's shaped like cute little flip flops. I created it with the Summer Fun Collection and one of its SVG files. It's perfect for photos of a summer vacation, backyard fun, a swimming pool, the beach, summer camp, boating, and any warm weather activity!

To create the shape, I used the Summer Fun, Flip Flops cutting file (link below). I welded the flip flops together in my Silhouette software and sized the shape to approx. 5.75" x 5.75". I cut the mini album covers out of white acrylic, but you could also use card stock or chipboard instead. 


On the front, I added two flip flop pieces cut from the 6x8 rainbow stripe Beach Towel print. Then I added some flowers from the icon stickers, enamel stickers from the Island Tropics Shape Sprinkles, and the Aloha die cut from the Chit Chat.

Inside, I added 6 white card stock pages and covered them in fun papers from the 6x8 paper pad. Above I used the sunny Summer Fun print in the background, then added the cute 4x3 card from the 12x12 Flamazing Flock paper and the arrow from the This & That stickers. 


Here, I covered the base in the Let's Luau paper. I love all those colorful flowers! I made the photo mat with a 3" scallop circle punch and 2.5" circle punch and embellished with flower die cuts from the Bit & Pieces.

On this layout, I used the 6x8 floral print called Pink Paradise and added a pretty journaling card from the 12x12 Summer School paper. The cute flamingo is a die cut from the Odds & Ends and the words are from the This & That sticker sheet.

Isn't this page cute? The plaid background is called Beach Picnic and I created a little beach scene next to the photo mat using the palm tree, crab, and sun icon stickers. Then, I finished it off with the word bubble die cut from the Chit Chat.

I added the Petite Prints Dot & Stripe in Citrus to this page. These prints are a staple in my scrapbook room and I use them in almost all my projects. And since Doodlebug uses a consistent color palette ... they coordinate perfectly with every collection!

And speaking of coordinating ... how adorable are these little fish mini icon stickers with the matching 6x8 Summer School paper used for the photo mat? Ha! Can you tell I'm having fun with this collection?

I hope you'll try this amazing Summer Fun cutting file and paper collection to create something wonderful. If you'd like to replicate this mini album and see more pages, visit my blog or check out the flip-through video on the Doodlebug or Artsy Album's Instagram. Have a great day! 😊

SUMMER FUN SHADOW BOX MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hey sweet friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a mini album I made with the adorable Summer Fun Collection and its Shadow Box Insert Kit. It's filled with cute summer images and lots of fun stickers, so this album would be great for photos of a vacation, the beach, fishing, swimming, a cruise, and everyday fun! 

I wanted to use the colorful insert kit in today's project so I chose my white 8x8 inch Acrylic Circle Window Album that highlights those amazing little stickers perfectly. But you could make the album's covers out of chipboard instead. 

I tied a bow in the corner and added the sweet Little Charmers crab called Coral to the ribbon.

The first page is the collage that I created with the Summer Fun Shadow Box Insert Kit. The kit comes with a circle template, card stock, vellum and tons of colorful stickers. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it and you end up with this amazing little piece of art!

The next page is made with the 12x12 Catch a Wave acetate. It's transparent with a wave pattern but tinted in the swimming pool blue color. Won't it make a cute layout with a few photos on the front and back?

The album also has 12 white card stock pages that I covered in 12x12 prints. Above, I layered the colorful Polka Dot Bikini paper, then the Let's Luau and Beach Picnic patterns. The photo mat is titled Summer Fun.

Next, I wanted the Memories die cut from the Odds & Ends to look like a hanging sign, so I used Chunky Twine in swimming pool and an enamel dot. Then, I added the Summer Time die cut from Chit Chat.

I love creating interactive elements in my albums. They add extra photo space and they're fun! In this mini, I created 2 fold-out pages, 1 pocket, and 3 flippies. Above is one of those flippies. I made it with a cute journaling card from the Summer School print. It's a perfect spot for dates, names, locations, and events.

Look how cute this page is! I used the Water Babies paper (front and back) for the background and colorful photo mats. I love those happy little sea creatures. Next, I added the fish and seahorse from the Odds & Ends, the Hello from the Chat Chat, and the tiny enamel fish from Summer School Shape Sprinkles. Love!

This photo shows one of the fold-out pages I added. The Seashells by the Seashore paper in the background is so colorful and coordinates perfectly with the Gull Friends print used for the photo mats and the gorgeous rainbow stripe Beach Towel paper inside the folding flap. 

Did you notice the 3 colorful patterned tabs on the edge of some of my layouts? They're die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and I love this extra little detail. They look great and you can use them to turn the pages. I also added the floral scalloped This & That border sticker on the page above. Isn't it pretty?

This collection is beautiful with its bright happy colors and variety of images / words to highlight your summer photos. There are sand castles, seashells, fish, and palm trees for beach memories. Suitcases, an airplane, a passport, room keys, and a cute pink hotel for your travel photos. And a cruise ship, sailboat, and anchors if you prefer to spend your time on top of the water, instead of in it. 😂

I hope my Adventure Awaits Mini Album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Summer Fun Collection. It's perfect for all kinds of crafting!

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the acrylic album and instructions are available in my shop! Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrappin'. 😊
