Happy holidays! Tis the season and I have been making holiday albums using pictures from past years, which is always fun because I get to look back on those precious memories. For this album, I used the SV Believe collection from Simple Stories. They always have the best holiday collections!! I especially love the vintage collections. 

I covered the album with the 8x6 patterned paper. Next, I added the foam stickers, die cuts, and ribbon. Isn't this cover beautiful? 
I cut two tags down and glued them to the top and bottom of this bookmark and added the stickers, rub-ons, and decorative brads.


Love the 3x4 journaling cards in this collection. They are so festive and fun. I added a touch of embellishments to make them pop.
I just love how this came together. It's so pretty...the trees and ornaments in this collection make me happy. I'm so ready for the holidays!

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.

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.
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.
