FARMHOUSE BARN SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

I love shaped mini albums. I've made them for years with my Cricut. One of my favorite projects was my barn album using Doodlebug On the Farm. But I made it years ago and it was probably the second album I'd done that was my own design that wasn't ring bound. I've learned a lot since then. So when I saw the adorable barn in the Odds and Ends for the Farmhouse collection I knew it was time for an upgraded version.

The Doodlebug SVG files available in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop are always amazing and this little Farmhouse -Barn SVG was no exception. I cut the base from chipboard using my Cricut Maker and the barn elements from the Farmhouse Coordinating Cardstock. I decorated with the Odds and Ends. And why yes, there is a goat on the roof (A very goat thing to do!)

Inside I've added some frameless shakers to make sure I got to use the new Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers shaker mixes.

I made a couple of simple layout pages and used Doodle-Pops and Bits and Pieces to decorate.

There are lots of flaps and pockets and places for pictures. I also make sure to cut apart the cute large tag paper and add some seam binding for some journaling and picture spots.

And the BEST part is there is a full, FREE tutorial on my YouTube channel! I walk you through how to make the album base in Design Space and all the construction.

FARMHOUSE MINI TAG ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a super cute tag shaped mini album titled Give Thanks. At only 2x4 inches, it's such a fun and small size! I created it with the colorful Farmhouse Collection and thought it would make a great little holiday project and gift idea for Thanksgiving!

To make this, I started with the 12x12 patterned tag sheet titled Give Thanks. I cut apart each tag and decided which sides I would use for the album's pages. I glued 16 of them back-to-back to create 8 sturdy pages. Then, I punched a binding hole in each one.

On the front cover, I added the "Let's Give Thanks" title from 6x6 pattern paper called Country Quilt. The word strips fit perfectly across the tags. The scalloped border is a sticker from the This & That sheet and the little enamel heart is from the Love This sprinkles.

Inside, I embellished each "page" with a fun mix of photo mats, cards from the 6x6 Country Quilt paper, die cut pieces (Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits & Pieces), This & That stickers, and lots of cute sprinkles.

 

Some of the tags were so cute, they didn't need a thing! So, I left them as is and they made perfect little decorative pages. Check out the one above with the mixer, bowls, and turkey.

I also added a journaling spot. Here I used the clipboard from the Bits & Pieces. I trimmed it down a bit to fit the tag, then added the sunflower from the Odds & Ends and another heart sprinkle.

Look how cute this page is. I created a little flippie with another card from the 6x6 Country Quilt pattern paper. Inside, I added a colorful plaid and space for 2 small photos.

Even a mini album as tiny as this one can still have a pocket! I used a stamp shaped piece from the Chit Chat to create this one. I adhered it to the tag on 3 sides and left the center open. Then, I tucked some little banner pieces inside for journaling about things I'm grateful for. 

These enamel birds are from the Feathered Friends sprinkles. They add a great pop of color and shine to this simple tag. And I love, love, love the cute animals on the next one. It's a Thanksgiving totem! 🧡

This tiny Give Thanks tag album was so much fun to create with the Farmhouse Collection. It's little size and shape is something different and makes such a cute gift idea.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll give this project a try. Happy scrappin'! 😊

FARMHOUSE THANKSGIVING LAYOUT | with Erica

Hi friends! Erica here today sharing a 12x12 layout using the Farmhouse collection!

I wanted to create a simple clean design but add a pretty detail under my layers with one of my favorite border punches!

I started with a 12x12 piece of Lily White Textured Cardstock. I cut out some strips of pattern papers from the Farmhouse collection. Starting with 2.50" x 12" and adhered along the left side of my layout about and inch and a half in from the left. I tucked in two border punched strips in the layers and I love the little detail it adds to the layout.

Next I created a photo mat to go horizontal on my page with some of the Farmhouse coordinating textured cardstock . Next I added one of the border stickers from the 12x12 Farmhouse sticker sheet.

To finish up the layout I created two embellishment clusters with Farmhouse Odds & Ends, Icon stickers and some shape sprinkles!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and give this simple design a try!
