Our First Home

June 26, 2007 by Meredith

As a recent newlywed starting a new home, the Our First Home theme on the Better Homes and Gardens website really caught my eye.

It gave me the idea to incorporate pictures of us in our apartment with some of the stuff we’ve had to do to make our apartment really fit our lives. Along with stories about our first home together – like the time my husband (then fiance) was working on a door and let a squirrel into the apartment!

This could be a neat project that would let you look back on how your home has changed over the years.

Crafty Themed Mini Scrapbook Album

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.

Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.
