LOTS OF LOVE FEBRUARY MONTHLY SCRAPBOOK PAGES | with Traci

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing the February layouts I made for Rylee's 8x8 Storybook Album. Each month, I make 4 new pages that highlight a few of my granddaughter's special moments. I used the adorable Lots of Love collection and it's perfect for highlighting sweet photos of loved ones and Valentine's Day.


My first page is all about these gorgeous flowers from the bits and pieces so, I kept the layout simple. I started with the Dot and Stripe in Swimming Pool and layered white paper and the Love You Bunches print on top. The blue gingham tab, the "always" and the "memories" are from the This and That sticker sheet.
 

I added the colorful flowers and leaves to span the width of the page and used foam adhesive under a few for dimension. Then, for a little shine ... I added some little enamel shape sprinkles & dots. My favorites!!  
 

For my next page I layered 3 pretty 12x12 prints and chose some cute die cuts from the Odds and Ends to decorate. I love the little bear with his bow tie and Valentine in hand. The XOXO is from the Chit Chat.
 

I left white space along the top to highlight more fun shaped die cuts and used the My Type alpha stickers to create the Feb. '22 title. I love the enamel hearts and little rainbow in the corner. The Hello Beautiful is from the This and That.
 

Oh my gosh, this page! I love all the rainbows, the prints and that pretty pink paper. With space for 4 photos, it's perfect for pictures of Rylee at school, with friends or at home with her little brother. I used a 3x4" card from the Plaid You're Mine paper to make a little folding card. So cute! 
 

I like mixing pattern sizes. So, I used the smaller rainbow print (from the 6x6 paper pad) on the photo mats and a
strip of larger rainbows (from a 12x12 print) along the bottom. The little envelope die cut finished it off.
 
 
In this last photo, I used a 4x4 page protector and more of the smaller 6x6 prints. I created a fun little pocket in the upper right corner that holds a few die cuts. You can journal on these. Just turn them over and write sweet messages, dates, names, or locations on the back side.
 

On the bottom left corner, I added a 3x3 envelope in bubblegum and covered it with a journaling card and a pretty flower print. On the inside, I made a small pull-out mat for a photo and added 2 rainbow shape sprinkles back to back to use as a tab. So cute!
 
I hope these pages inspire you to create something wonderful with the Lots of Love collection. The pretty colors and images are sure to make you happy!

LOTS OF LOVE MINI ALBUM | with Erica

Hi friends! Erica here with you today to share a sweet little mini album today using the Lots of Love collection!

I started with the Lots of Love Cards and Envelopes and pulled out a few to use as pages. Next I trimmed down some of the 12x12 pattern papers and fold in half. I then started to build the album pages by places them together and lining up the spine.

I used my long arm stapler to bind the pages together! This stapler is great to bind mini albums and junk journals!

I love layering page sizes and adding different textures like acetate and vellum to my mini albums. Once all my base pages were together I went in and added more layers of patterned paper on the base pages and photo mats.

I used some large chit chat pieces from the Lots of Love collection to add to the bottom of some of my photo mats only adding adhesive along the bottom so I can easily slip in my photos.

I created pockets and used some of the cut apart tags to tuck into them. I added some doodle twine to the tops of the tags.

The envelopes are great to store extra photos or journaling and look super cute inside the mini album.

This album was so fun to put together using the Lots of Love collection and I can't wait to fill it with memories! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to create a sweet little mini album with this collection!

LOTS OF LOVE TREAT YOURSELF STAMPED CARDS | with Karen

Well, February is the month of love and do you know what I love? Doodlebug's Lot's of Love collection of course! More specifically, I happened to be pretty smitten with the new Treat Yourself stamp collection and the beautiful florals in the Bits & Pieces pack. I thought these two items might make a cute couple so I did a bit of matchmaking...

All-3-start

...and came up with a new power couple (if I do say so myself), featured right here in this little card collection.

Closeup-1

Bit & Pieces are great because there are so many unique shapes to choose from for all sorts of layered goodness. I pulled from little pieces of paper to tags to florals and then used a variety of adhesives to get some different heights in my layers.

Closeup-2

And then - well then I grabbed the adorable Treat Yourself stamps and coloured them up to coordinate with all of the die cuts I had chosen. Can I just say that I plan on treating myself a lot with these cute stamps! I mean, come on Doodlebug cuteness overload!

All-3-end

So what do you think? Were the Bits & Pieces and Treat Yourself stamps destined to be together? Personally, I think it just might be a match made in heaven!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
