TREASURED SNAP BINDER/ SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! If you have noticed, I have been posting less, it's not because I'm scrapping less...I have just been trying to build up my YouTube channel! I have almost 100 videos and if you have not checked them out, please check it out! I have a variety of videos from layouts, mini albums, cards, and art journal spreads! A little something for all. In the meantime, let me share my latest SNAP Binder. I'm really enjoying the 6x8 size...it's much easier and more enjoyable for me.

For today's album, I am using the Junk Drawer collection from Simple Stories. I love this vintage collection and it's absolutely beautiful! I decided to use it to document my favorite photos of me with my husband over the years.

For the cover of the album, I decided to use the black patterned paper with the tiny words so that all the embellishments really pop off the cover. I layered a few journaling bits, chipboard and foam stickers to add dimension to the cover. Next, I added the ribbon.

I cut three 3x4 journaling cards so they were attached and folded the left side over to create a partial flip. Next, I decorated the journaling cards with decorative brads, enamel dots, foam stickers, and die cuts. Those layers are so pretty!

Here's another pocket page spread with more gorgeous layers I added to the cards.

This is one of favorite spreads from the album. LOVING how pretty the two pocket pages look. I created a variety of layers using die cuts, journaling bits, cut-apart tags, stickers, and chipboard. 

I created this pocket page by folding the white note paper in half and mounting it to the pink and white stripe paper by using double sided adhesive at the ends to create the folder. Next, I decorated the pocket with a variety of pretty embellishments. Be sure to check out my YouTube Video as I show how I made this album!

I absolutely love the variety of pocket pages in this SNAP Binder. They are gorgeous with the cards and layered embellishments.

I folded a sheet of patterned paper in half vertically to create another side pocket. I adhered the floral patterned paper to the chipboard page. Next, I used red tape at the corners of the folded paper to create the pocket. After that, I adhered it to the chipboard to the far right-side and added stickers.

Here are some small details of the insert pages and large tags that are inside the album. Isn't this gorgeous?!

Here's a close up of the cover, bookplate and behind the cover of the album. 

I try to add a few 6x8 layouts in my albums, too. I created this double 6x8 spread using a variety of my favorite photos. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colors on this spread. This album makes my heart happy. I'll definitely treasure it for years to come.

Thank you for visiting today! If you check out my process video, leave a comment in my Youtube channel and let me know what you think! 

Take care,

TAKE NOTE SNAP BINDER/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Happy Monday! I'm super excited to share my SNAP Binder I created using the Take Note collection. This collection is so pretty and it's perfect for documenting everyday moments with your friends and family. I decided to use my favorite photos from 2025 and add them to this fun album.

I decorated the front of the album using the black and white floral print paper and then added a few foam stickers to add a pop of color! Next, I added the ribbon and decorative brads.

I'm always looking for creative ideas for my SNAP binders... I used two patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad to create a pocket page. I mounted the butterfly patterned paper to the notebook insert page. After that, I folded the blue and white plaid patterned in half and mounted both sides together using the double sided adhesive red tape. Once everything was mounted down, I added a few die cuts and stickers.

Here's a fun pocket page spread I created using journaling cards, the cut-apart tag, decorative brads and a variety of ephemera. This spread makes my heart happy...loving the pop of orange!

To create this pretty interactive spread, I used a 6 1/4" round plate to trace onto the patterned paper and then I punched a hole at the end and popped it in the binder. Next, I added the photo, and embellishments.

Here is the back of the interactive spread. I mounted the camera print paper behind the pink paper and cut out the excess paper. Love this photo of my baby who is turning 16 on the 21st! 

I used a few sheets of patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad to create this fun pocket page. I folded a sheet of patterned paper long ways a little past the halfway mark. Next, I mounted the ends together using strong double sided adhesive. After that, I added a few tags I cut from the cut-apart tag sheet. Then, I added the foam stickers to the bottom of the pocket to make it more pretty.

This is a quick and simple pocket page spread I created using a variety of journaling cards and embellishments. 

I create a flip interactive page by cutting two 4x6 journaling cards so they were attached. Next, I folded it slightly passed the half page mark so it would flip nicely between the plastic sleeve page. After that, I added the embellishments, photo and 3x4 journaling card in which I journaled on. 

This is what it looks like underneath the flip page. Me with my baby sister! I absolutely LOVE the pink polka dot paper. It's so fun. I framed the photo with a die cut frame and added the vase of flowers next to the photo to fill in the white space. Next, I tucked the journaling card behind the vase and added some journaling.

I hope you found this album inspiring! I had fun documenting my favorite memories of 2025 in this beautiful album. Check out the full tutorial on how I set this album up on my YouTube channel. Click here to access the video! Thank you for visiting today!

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!
