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!
