Part 3 Girl Scrapbook

tristarakow

This is the 3rd scrapbook I created using the cute girl collection by Crate Paper. If you haven’t already seen part 1 of this scrapbook you can check it out here:  Cute Girl Scrapbook. All three scrapbooks were made using the cute girl collection of paper, however I’ve also included bits and pieces from Maggie Holmes bloom collection.

I love the front cover of this mini album. The corners have been distressed with Tim Holtz ink and all the embellishments look 3D because they pop out from the page. There is so much cute packed into one little album. Check it out!

Our Family Scrapbook

This is probably one of my favorite scrapbooks of all time. I made this just before my maternity leave and then put Everett’s newborn photos in it just after that. This scrapbook has my most precious photos that were taken by my friend Lisa Sherwood. I’m very blessed that she was able to take his newborn photos because she is an amazing photographer. I love everything about this scrapbook!

I made this scrapbook using The Story of Our Family paper line by Echo Park. In addition, I used some chipboard pieces from the same collection. Much of the embellishments came from my large stock so it would be hard to point out every detail. I can however give some basic direction on how I made this book.

When I purchased the materials, I might have overdone it a little. Ok, a lot. But when you see these pictures, you will understand my obsession with this collection of scrapbook paper. Check it out!

Little Man Scrapbook

I made this scrapbook for my little man Everett. It features everything that adventurous little boys love like trucks,  pirates, dinosaurs and more.  I used multiple scrapbook collections from the company Echo Park to include the Little Man collection, Dino Friends and Pirates Life. These three scrapbook lines worked well with each other and I could use them intermittently throughout the book. 

In addition to these three scrapbook lines, I used some bits and pieces from each line as well as some plain scrapbook paper. Here is everything you need:

Front Cover

When I saw this paper collection at my local craft store, my jaw nearly hit the floor. I’ve always had a soft spot for all things pink and girly. I knew right away I had to make a mini album with this one.

It’s the Cute Girl collection by Crate Paper. I’ve also included bits and pieces from  Maggie Holmes Bloom collection as well. These two scrapbook lines worked well together and couldn’t just pick one.

The Cute Girl scrapbook line features everything girly and magical such as mermaids, unicorns and fairies. The front page pretty much sums it up: 

BUCKET LIST

Front Cover – Bucket List
  • Swim with the Mermaids
  • Dance with Fairies
  • Play in the Stars
  • Ride a Unicorn

This scrapbook is jam packed with so many tiny details that it is hard see it all. I did my best to take good photos and I’ll include all the details on how I made this scrapbook. Check it out!

I Must Go – Adventure is Calling

I decided to give you all a sneak peak into my latest scrapbook album. I plan to post all the pictures later.

This scrapbook line couldn’t have been any more perfect for me. I had so much fun creating this album because all the details where there: from roasting marshmallows, to the vintage camper and the campfire burning.
