MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK PROJECTS FOR AUGUST

Hello, friends! Where has August gone? Seriously, though...August was a blur! I have been creating lots of fun projects within the past few months and it feels good to be creative. I LOVE this hobby. I'm taking a moment to share my projects I created for My Creative Scrapbook using their August Main Kit. This month, I created three layouts and a cute little tag mini album I created using scraps from my kit. Also, as usual, there is a YouTube tutorial for each project. If you've been following me for some time and love what you see, I would really appreciate it if you subscribed to my YouTube channel. I'm getting closer and closer to 1k followers! THANK YOU!

I absolutely love the design and patterns on this layout. It's so fresh and fun. Lots of layers and beautiful embellishments.



This month's kit features beautiful patterned papers, die cuts and foam stickers from Simple Stories' Open Road Collection. A little reminder, you do not need to be a subscriber for My Creative Scrapbook Kits to grab a kit to try...They are priced at such a great value! Mention my name for a free gift.

I love the colors in this kit and the floral print pair and stripes! It's such a cute kit. The butterflies and dragonflies are my absolute favorite. Aren't they beautiful?


This month, I tried to create multi-photo projects! I love each and every project I created this month using this kit. They are all different and pretty.

Loving all the clustered embellishments here and there. I used a variety of embellishments to help frame the photos and fill in the white space.

And here's my mini tag album I created using the scraps from this kit. As you can see, I was able to create three layouts and a mini tag album with one kit! That's what I call a great kit!




Thank you for visiting today and I hope you're having a fabulous week!

BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES WEDDING ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a beautiful SN@P Album I created using the Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony collection. This collection is so pretty and serene. I really love the soft color palette with the green, cream and light brown tones with a touch of mint and teal throughout the patterned papers and embellishments. This collection is perfect for my outdoor wedding photos from May 8th, 2004.

This collection is so pretty. I love the color scheme with the mauve blue and soft green tones with the touch of cream, teal and black. It's so beautiful. The patterns and embellishments are perfect for documenting wedding memories, concerts, and family time together.
I used the Interactive Pages throughout this album to create different page formats to make the album more interesting and eye catching. They are perfect for adding a few foam stickers, chipboards and rub-ons!
My favorite elements in this collection aside from the beautiful floral patterned papers is the butterflies. I just love them so much. I used several of them throughout this album.
Here is a pretty pocket page spread I created using the cut-apart journaling cards and tags. I added a few stickers, foam stickers and chipboard to add dimension.
I LOVE the sticker tabs! They are perfect for adding at the bottom of the photos to use as a title or journaling spot.
I created this 6x8 layout using the back of an interactive page. I tucked die cuts slightly behind the photos and added a few stickers and chipboard pieces to frame the photos. Next, I hand-journaled my story on a cut-apart tag.
For the pocket pages, I tried to stay true to the colors and elements so the pages have a nice cohesive look and everything flows nicely across the album. This spread is so beautiful and timeless. I love the touch of vintage thought this collection.
I layered a variety of die cuts and foam stickers to bring this spread together. I love that bow foam sticker! I think it looks perfect on the ticket stub. I used rub-ons for the title at the bottom of the photo.
I layered a variety of die cuts, chipboard and stickers on a 4x6 mat to create the top 4x6 page. Next, I added the photo below with no additional embellishments due to spacing constraints. As you can see, you do not need to have embellishments on every pocket page! I know...I struggle with this because I want to use all the things!
I hope you found this album inspiring! It feels so good to finally get my wedding photos in a nice sized album! And it's so lovely...I just love it. Thank you for visiting today!
