QUICK AND EASY 6X8 MASULINE LAYOUTS/A CHERRY ON TOP

Good morning, friends! I'm excited to share a few more pages of my latest album I have been working on for my son, Edward. These layouts are super quick and easy, and I'm so pleased with how this album is coming along.
To begin, I selected the 6x8 patterned paper from 49 & Market's Rust and Revs Collection. Next, I matted the 3x4 photos onto patterned paper from the paper pad. I used a metal tag die to create the tag. After the photos were mounted along with the tag, I added the rub-ons, epoxy stickers and ephemera. Super fun and easy.
For the pocket page, I used a blending brush and ink to add color to the white pocket page. The Rust and Revs Albumcomes with pocket pages and pockets! Super fun and it's a great album. After I finished applying the ink to the pocket page, I adhered the patterned paper down. I used foam strips to add the "focused and fierce" label and added the string.
I mounted the photo to the back of the die cut tag and added the rub-on and enamel stickers. Love how this looks! Seriously, this album is so fun.
I hope you found these pages inspiring! And if you're a boy mom...I hope this post encourages you to scrapbook the men in your lives. Check out my YouTube channel here to see the full tutorial! Thank you so much for visiting today.

WINTER WONDERLAND SNOW WAY SNAP BINDER/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a fun SNAP Binder I created using the SV Flannel Season collection. This past spring, my husband took my son to Colorado to go snowboarding and skiing with my sister. Edward had been asking for over a year to go snowboarding... and so he went and they had such a great time with my sister. The SV Flannel Season collection is perfect for snowy adventures! 

The snowman print from the 6x8 SV Flannel Season patterned papers is the cutest! I just love him so much. I mounted it to the blue and white polka dot page insert and added the decorative brad. 
Next, I mounted the plaid print on the back and added the chipboard pieces to the center. After that, I folded the white journaling paper in half to create a fun bookmark for the album. Then, I added the chipboard pieces and decorative brads.
To create this fun pocket insert, I mounted the patterned paper to the chipboard page. Next, I cut two 3x4 journaling cards so that they were still attached vertically and then I used double side to tape to mount it to the page to create the side pocket for tags, journaling cards and ticket studs/cards.

Here is a fun flip page I created by cutting the cut-apart cards from the cut-apart journaling card paper to create a flip. Next, I added the photo and other embellishments to frame the photo.
I cut a few 3x4 journaling cards and a few tags to decorate the pockets. The tags are super fun and they are perfect for writing down your story.
This is a flip pocket I created by cutting two 3x4 journaling cards so they were attached to create the flip and then I added the photos with a few embellishments.

The journaling cards are so pretty...I used them all throughout the album. What do you think? Isn't this collection so pretty!?

This is a long vertical flip page I created using a few 4x6 cards. Be sure to watch my YouTube process video for more information behind the scenes. I have a great deal of tips and techniques for creating SNAP Binders to make them fun, and interactive.

I hope you found this album enjoyable. I had so much fun playing with this collection...and although I was not playing in the snow, I can feel how much fun they had together! Thank you so much for stopping by today and please check out my process video, here.

FRIENDS 6X8 LAYOUT/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Hello everyone. I hope you're having a wonderful week in your neck of the world. Today, I'm sharing another layout I created using the Love is Kind collection. I can't get enough of this adorable collection!
These two cuties are best buds and I just enjoy scrapbooking them!! My sister had a little photo shoot taken of them...just being them selves and I just had to scrapbook the pictures for her!
I layered a few tags at the top and added the cloud die cut using foam strips to add dimension. Next, I added the ticket sub, flowers and "besties" die cut to the cloud to fill in the white space.
The large "Friends" die cut word really helps pull the bottom half of the layout together. I placed the "friendship" definition sticker just below the title and added the cherries and lady bug for fun.
Check out the Love is Kind collection, here in the shop. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
