HELLO-LOVE THIS FLIPBOOK/MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK

Good morning!! I have a fun family flipbook album to share with you using My Creative Scrapbook's main kit for February. The kit feature's Simple Stories' Take Note collection. The flipbook did not come with the main kit. 

For the cover, I decorated it with a few stickers, chipboard, and foam stickers. Next, I added the ribbon that I purchased from Amazon. This is my favorite ribbon, and it goes with everything. 

I cut the 4x6 journaling card from the cut-apart sheet and then added the butterfly sticker, "today" chipboard to the center of the camera lens, and then I added the yellow flower using foam to add dimension.

I cut three 3x4 journaling cards so they were still attached and folded the left card to the center to create a partial flip page. I used a few die cuts to fill in the white space on the photo.

Here is a tag that I embellished and journaled for the flip page. This is a great way to get your stories documented in your albums.

I cut the patterned paper to measure 4x6 and decorated the page with die cuts and stickers.

I cut the journaling card from the cut-apart sheet to use as a frame for the photo. Next, I added the tag, stickers and die cuts.

I cut two 3x4 cards out while they were still attached. I used the left-side as a mat for the photo and decorated it with die cuts, and stickers. I left the right-side alone, and just added the blue flower to add dimension.
This is a simple page I created by cutting the patterned paper to measure 4x6. Next, I added the 3x4 photo to the far right-side of the paper. After that, I added the die cuts.

I cut two journaling cards from the cut-apart sheet and folded it in half to create the flip.  I added red tape to create a flip. Check out my YouTube video for the full tutorial on how this little album came together.


There is so much to look at in this album. I love all the clustered embellishments. They are so pretty.

Have you made a flipbook before? They are super fun and I really enjoy them. I have a variety of flipbook albums on my YouTube channel to inspire you! 
Thank you so much for visiting and take care!

FROSTY/MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK

Hello, friends! I'm back with two more layouts I created using the January main kite from My Creative Scrapbook. For spring break this year, my husband and son went out to visit my sister in Colorado and they went skiing and snowboarding, which is something Edward has been wanting to do. This kit is perfect for snow days!

I kept this layout simple, focusing on the photos. I used a variety of patterned papers for the background and matted the photos using tags and ephemera. Next, I added the rub-ons to the photo and the embellishments to fill in the white space.
The rub-ons look so pretty on this photo...and it's so perfect!
For the second layout, I decided to play with mixed media to create gorgeous snowflakes in the background. I used a stencil and polishing plaster to create the background.
I also used more rub-ons! I just couldn't get enough of them. They are perfect for filling in white space and if you're not sure what to journal, these work perfectly.
Here's a closer look at the snowflakes. Aren't they beautiful? If you would like a closer look at this month's kit, the links are included below. Thanks so much for visiting today! Check out my process videos, here!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD SNAP BINDER ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Happy Friday, friends! It's hard to believe that my baby will be 16 years old on the 21st! I once read a quote from a book that said, "the days move slow and the years goes by fast." And isn't that the truth?! I finally got around to making a baby album for Edward. I had photos in a post bound album. LOL...I know. Sad, but hey, better late than never!

For this Album, I used Simple Stories' Say Cheese Classic Pooh Baby collection. It's super cute, and I just love how this came together! I Kept the cover simple, adding paper and a few foam stickers and the chipboard to the center. Next, I added the ribbon with the decorative brad.

I love this cute 6x8 patterned paper that comes in the paper pad. I added the yellow foam sticker heart to the balloon to add dimension and then placed the flower foam sticker at the bottom of the journaling section.
The big "You'll always be my baby" die cut is super fun. I love how it takes up the bottom portion of the layout-hiding Edward's bottom. I tucked the tag from the cut-apart sheet behind the photo and added a few stickers and decorative brads to fill in the white space.
One thing that I love about this collection is that it comes with interactive pages and pockets!! I was super thrilled when I saw this new addition to the collection. They are so pretty!
Here is another interactive page from the packet. I added the patterned paper to the inside to break up the plaid pattern. Next, I matted the photos using die cuts and journaling cards. Once the photos were mounted down, I added all the pretty embellishments. I LOVE this spread so much.

I used the notebook paper from the SNAP Binder to journal about the day when we brought Edward home!  I love how simple this page is...with the overall design. The foam stickers across the top really make a difference with the design. 

This is another interactive page. It's a large tag that I added a photo to, and then I added the layered flowers and embellishments to add dimension. 
Of course I had to add a belly shot, too! 
The 4x6 journaling card looks so perfect with the adorable photo. I kept it simple, focusing on the photo.
I hope you found these pages inspiring. This is not even half the layouts I created in this album. Check out my process video on how I set this album up. Also, I have a full reel of the album on my Instagram account.Thank you so much for visiting today.

Hugs,
Nicole
