MEMORY DEX CARDS/MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK

Hello, friends! I'm taking a moment to share a few Memory Dex Cards I created for My Creative Scrapbook using their September Main Kit. This year I am focusing on making more memorydex cards to fill up my spinner! I'll be sure to share the full flip through once it's full. It's going to be awhile... lol. If you're like me and you hate to throw away those scraps, challenge yourself and make a few memorydex cards. They are super fun. Here are the cards I created this month!

I printed off a few older photos that are my personal favorite and added them to the cards! I also used my metal memorydex die to cut out the images from the cut-apart journaling cards.

LOVE this picture. He was so excited...Edward was about four years old, here. We were at the Renaissance Festival and his thing back then was getting his face painted. Who would have thought that 12 years later, his very first job would be working for the Renaissance Festival selling Turkey legs. 

I absolutely love the ephemera in this month's kit. The deer, pumpkins, and squirrels are so cute! What do you think? 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!

Thank you for visiting today!

TOGETHER 4X6 CHIPBOARD MINI ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! Nicole here with a beautiful Autumn mini album I created using the 4x6 chipboard album and the Pumpkins & Plaid collection. This is such a cute collection, and it worked perfectly with a few apple picking photos I have from ten years ago. I decided to create this album using one of my favorite memories…this was a great day!

I decorated the front and back cover using patterns from the 6x8 paper pad. Next, I decorated the cover with foam stickers.

I crated a cute little flip page by cutting two journaling cards so they were attached and folding the top part to create the flip. Next, I adhered the 3x4 cut apart pumpkin card to the bottom and added the photo and more foam stickers. I love the large title with the smaller sub-title foam sticker.

For my next spread, I cut a few journaling cards out and stapled them to create a fun flip page. I added the tag at the bottom to fill in the space along with the photos and chipboard. So fun! LOVE the colors. Be sure to check out my full tutorial to see how I created this fun page! The link is included at the bottom of the post.

This was such a fun album to make. I absolutely love the 4x6 chipboard album with the rings! The pumpkins and squirrels are my favorite! I used the large pumpkin die cut to create a pocket for the cut-apart tags.

Another favorite of mine is the adorable fox and flowers! They are simply beautiful.

Next, I mounted a 4x6 photo onto the insert page and then filled in the white space using die cuts, chipboard, and decorative brads. I love this page!

This album is simple to make and equally cute. I used a 6" plate to trace around the insert page to create a fun half circle interactive page. Next, I decorated the page using tags, journaling cards, stickers and die cuts.

Here is a simple page I created using scraps and a few die cuts-keeping the focus on the cute photo. I spy a 6-year-old picking apples from the tree!

What do you think? Are you ready to make an album? I hope you found this mini album inspiring. Now, go print your photos from a favorite autumn day and make an album. I promise you won't regret it!

If you love this album as much as I do, please visit my YouTube channel to watch the full tutorial! Thank you so much for visiting.

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!
