MADE WITH LOVE BAKING RECIPE BOOK | with Kathy

 I'm excited to be kicking off a couple of weeks of Made with Love Inspiration.  I adore this collection.  As a baker, I think all the cute little cooking icons are just the sweetest!  I decided to make a little baking recipe book to fill with my favorite treats.  This would make a fun gift for someone moving out on their own or for a new couple.  Take a peek...

The covers of my book are covered chipboard measuring 5.5" x 7.5".  It is bound using a hidden disc method (see this video for a tutorial).  I love using disc binding, especially for recipe books.  It makes adding pages so easy!

The binding is covered with some of Doodlebug's new Heavy Weight Acetate.  

On my inside cover I printed a kitchen conversions chart.  I always find those handy!  I decorated it with some of the Odds & Ends.    I divided my recipe book into 4 categories... and created a divider page for each.  They are decorated with Odds & Ends, Chit Chat pieces and they are labeled with Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.  I added a punched tab to the sides to easily turn to different categories.  

I punched the Made with Love Recipe Cards using my Cinch Multi Tool, so they could be added into the book.  In between some of the dividers, I added tags, cut-aparts and Odds & Ends for a little color and fun.  Here are some views of all the inside pages/dividers.

I just love all of the punny sayings!  I love that by using the disc binding that I can add in pages as needed!  I created a video run through of the album and it can be seen on my YouTube Channel below.

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

LOTS OF LOVE MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello there Doodlebug fans! Hope you are all doing well and that you are enjoying this beautiful month of February, the month that we get to celebrate all things LOVE! I am super excited to share with you my latest DT project using the super cute 'Lots of Love' collection! I did a mini album with a little twist! I created a fun chipboard cover that fits a 4x6 album in! This technique is such a fun way to house your albums of this size! (and it also gave me more room to decorate and play with all of my amazing "Lots of Love" goodies! ) Come and see!

As you can see the collection is stunning with its bright pops of pink, red, and blue! Perfect for a love-themed album! I used so many elements to dress up my pages and it was super fun mixing and matching all the different products to make some really fun, and interactive pages! Let me show you a few pages!

As you can see, I love to add all sorts of flips and pockets to my albums! The pockets are the perfect spot to cut out a couple of tags from that cut-apart paper!

Look how beautiful the yellows are! Such a fun pop of bright color mixed with the vivid pink and blues! The florals in this collection are super fun to layer up and are great sizes to use in this size mini album!

And of course, no album would be complete without a cute Doodlepop here and there! I adore the shaker ones like this Tea one shown below!

The last few pages - good spots to showcase photos of all of your loved ones!

This little album has so many fun and interactive elements to it, that it is really hard to showcase with just photos sooooo - if you'd like to stop by and check out my walkthrough of this album - you can find it over on my YouTube channel! I'd love to show you just how much fun this little ( albeit chunky ) album is!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I have given you some inspiration to grab this adorable "Lots of Love" collection and make a mini album of your own! Happy crafting friends!

LOTS OF LOVE YOU HAVE MY HEART MINI | with Conny

Hi, it's Conny! Today, I'm sharing a mini album I created for my daughter Savanna. I used the Lots of Love collection to document her cute little face and let her know how much I love her with a special letter at the end. To make the album, you'll need three pieces of chipboard: - two covers measuring 6.5" x 5" - one spine measuring 6.5" x 1"

I started by wrapping the chipboard in the textured cardstock from the Lot of Love collection. Then, I used my sewing machine to add stitching to the covers. To bind the covers together, I used a piece of cardstock measuring 11" x 6 3/8". This also covers the chipboard on the inside of the album.

The binding is really easy - I used two standard eyelets at the top and bottom of the spine in the color pink and tied a stretchy string to keep the cards together. I got the cards from the Lots of Love coordinating card and envelopes assortment. The cards are 6 1/4" x 9" and scored at 4.5" on the longest side.

I just had a blast creating a heart shaker for the cover page of my project. To make it even more eye-catching, I spiced it up with some chit-chat, bits & pieces, and sprinkles. It looks stunning now!

Inside the album, I used some pretty patterned cardstock paper from the collection. I added my favorite photos and some fun embellishments to each page to make it pop! I hope my project inspires you to get creative and make something special too!

We can't wait to see what you create using the Lots of Love Collection.  Xoxo
