HAPPY MOMENTS FLIPBOOK/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! Nicole, here with a fun flipbook I created using the Say Cheese Classic Mouse Halloween collection! This collection is darling and I could not wait to create this adorable album for my sister. She just recently took the kids to Disney and the photos totally work with this collection... despite them not being Halloween themed.

For the cover, I used a variety of the foam stickers to fill in the white space. I love how the pretty colors look against the Black Buffalo Check 4x6 flipbook.

I cut three 3x4 cut apart cards out while they were still attached in a nice strip and folded the card on the right towards the center to create the flip page. Next, I added a few chipboard and stickers to make the journaling card more festive.

The cut-apart tags make great fillers for white space, topped with a few decorative brads. Isn't this the cutest!?

There are a few 4x6 photos scattered throughout the album. I embellished the photos with a few stickers to make them fun!

Also, there are lots of fun embellishments and layers throughout this album. I just love how this little album came together. The sentiments are so perfect!

I created this fun flip page by folding a 6x8 sheet of patterned paper in half. Next, I added all the fun embellishments. I popped the "I'm not scared are you?! die cut up using foam squares so that it layered nicely with the "frightful fun" foam sticker.

Who doesn't love Sully!? He's my favorite.  I added a few journaling stickers and the pumpkin to fill in the white space at the bottom. Next, I used a variety of foam stickers and the border sticker, along with decorative brads to fill in the space at the top. SO FUN...and not too scary-teehee.

Here is another flip page I created using a variety of cute photos! This little album is PACKED with so many cute photos.

This is a fun spread I created using the Chipboard Frame and lots of fun chipboard, die cuts, and stickers. LOVE that orange with the lime green. 

Be sure to check out the Instagram reel for the full album! This is only half of the album, and I promise you're gonna want to see the entire album. It's full of fabulous embellishments and happy moments. Also, I have the full tutorial on my YouTube channel. Run, and grab this collection so you can make your own adorable album! Thank you so much for visiting today.

LAUGHTER & LOVE 4X6 WEDDING SN@P BINDER

Hello, friends! Nicole here with a beautiful 4x6 wedding album I created for a friend using Simple Stories' Timeless Harmony collection. I had quite a bit of this collection leftover from when I made my album that I decided to make another album and put my scraps to good use! I can't wait to give this to her. I hope she likes butterflies...because there are a lot of them throughout the album.

I tried to keep this album simple and clean to focus on the beautiful photos, but I do LOVE playing with embellishments. There are lots of pretty layers throughout the album and I just love how it turned out.

I cut a variety of 12x12 patterned papers to measure 4x6 and matted the photos using the journaling cards and scraps of patterned paper. I popped up the die cuts using foam squares to add dimension.

I used the journaling cards to create a fun book marker for the album and added a few die cuts, chipboard and foam stickers to fill in the white space.

I love that the die cuts come with fun pockets! They are super easy to make. Simple fold the crease and add a strong double side adhesive and mount them to the page. I like to add a variety of ephemera, photos and tags inside the pocket.

I used the double 3x4 pocket pages to create these simple pages! This is a great way to use up these embellishments to create beautiful clusters and layers.

I used the journaling cards to create a fun waterfall flip page. My friend had three pictures that looked the same, but were all different and I wanted to use them all...so the waterfall page was perfect. There's also a journaling page included so that she can document her day. What do you think? Would you love receiving this as a gift? I hope she loves it as much as I do. Thank you for visiting today and I hope I inspired you to get creative and use up your stash!

MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK LAYOUTS FOR SEPTEMBER

Hello, friends! I'm taking a moment to share my projects I created for My Creative Scrapbook using their September Main Kit. This month, I created three layouts with different designs and techniques. I LOVE every one of these layouts so much. 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 used the stencil from this month's kit to create a fun background using brown ink. This is such a cute layout and it only took me about 25-minutes to create! LOVING the fall vibes, here. It's my favorite season.

For the second layout, I played with the digital cut file! I have a process video on how I backed the digital cut file with patterned paper. It's a process and takes a bit of time, but it's so worth it. LOVE the big title!

The layout itself was pretty quick and easy after I finished backing up the digital cut file. I added a few clusters of embellishments to fill in the white space.

I'm no pro when it comes to digital cut files, but I do love how they add so much to a layout! What do you think? I love that My Creative Scrapbook includes the cut file in the box... already cut on white cardstock.

And for my final layout, I used this month's sketch as inspiration to create the overall design. 

I'm loving the strips of patterned paper and distressing. This is my favorite out of all three layouts. I hope you found these layouts inspiring! Be sure to check out the process videos and thank you for visiting today!
