Mini Scrapbook for National Scrapbook Month

 This is my second post today so be sure to scroll down and read both posts.  It is officially National Scrapbook Month! In honor of the month I have created two different Projects. The first are the Booklets that I posted about here. The second is a mini scrapbook which you see above. These projects are a part of my Class on May 19th and also available as Kits To Go. Please see the bottom of this post for more information. These booklets make great gifts as well!

If you recall, at Christmas time I made a cute little album using CD mailer envelopes and a Simply Scrappin' Kit.  (To refresh your memory click here).  I have recreated the mini scrapbook using the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' Kit so that the album can be used for any occasion.

Butterfly Scrapbook Page

I LOVE to Scrapbook but I must admit that I am Way behind. I was married last May and I am still at the beginning phases of scrapbooking the event. My husband teases me because I have all these started scrapbooks (our wedding, our dating years, mini scrapbooks, etc) but have not seemed to be able make much progress. I find myself stopping my projects to make gifts and books for others. Of course I love doing those too! I wish that I could find a group of people like me that would like to get together once or twice a month to scrapbook and socialize. I also wouldn't mind having more hours in a day :D

For today's project I have created a cute, simple 6x6 scrapbook page. Then I will show you how to make that 6x6 page into a 12x12 page. I am a big fan of the 6x6 scrapbook. They are great to carry around and show off your pictures. I also realize that some events just can not truly be displayed on a small page.

This page is very simple with some dimension added with the fly away butterfly. I punched the butterfly out twice from Certainly Celery, one I stamped with one of the stamps from Flight of the Butterfly (the Butterfly Punch works perfectly with this set). I taped the plain butterfly down. Then I put a piece of Sticky Strip on the body of the stamped butterfly. I glued it down then folded up the wings. I love using this technique. See this used on a card here.

Here is a completed 12x12 page using the 6x6 page above. This will be the first page of my Honeymoon album if I can ever get it completed :D One page down.... The lettering is the Naturally Serif Alphabet for the Big Shot. I love doing journaling creatively whenever possible, I think it adds so much to a page. It is hard to tell in the picture; however, I did the same flowers along the corner of the 12x12 page using So Saffron that I did on the 6x6 page.

Supplies:
Stamp Set(s) - Flight of the Butterfly
Card Stock - Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Rose Red, So Saffron
Ink - Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
Accessories -Butterfly Punch, Curly Label Punch, Sticky Strip, Big Shot, Naturally Serif Alphabet

Christmas Scrapbook

This weekend my husband and I went to Disney World for a D23 event, Magic and Merriment. It was absolutely AMAZING. Not only did we get to enjoy all the lights and Christmas celebration that we see every year (and it only gets better) but we also got to listen to speakers talk about how all the decorating happens, how the gingerbread houses are put together and the stories behind the Osborne lights. Incredible! We also got to tour Cinderella's Castle Suite, had reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional, enjoyed a Disney catered dinner (on the set of Lights, Motors, Action) and Lunch (at the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon), and ate cookies and drinks on the Liberty Belle. Not to mention the many gifts and wonderful people!

An experience like this just needs to be preserved in something beautiful! I found a class listed by a fellow demonstrator and emailed her to find how she created this amazing 6x6 album. She was kind enough to share her creation with me. This album is made from CD Envelopes and Stampin' Up!s Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit.

Between each page I have shown in the pictures is a double page spread of just Designer Series Paper to add pictures as well. I really enjoyed making this album and I cant wait to add my pictures!

Want to learn how to make this album? Contact me today to purchase a class-to-go. You will receive the necessary materials and directions for assembly. The cost is $35.00 plus shipping. If you are a demonstrator, just email me and I will share the recipe!
