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.

I don’t do digital stamping or scrapbooking and I have a hard time reading digital mags, so no, i don’t thing this is the way to go.
I’m sad to see it go, but not at all surprised.
I hate everything going digital. I like holding something in my hand. I like being able to do a project outside, which I can’t do if it is digital. So now, if there is a storm, I will not have access to any projects. Our electricity goes out all the time. And if a companies computer goes off line, nothing is available. Couple months ago, it took 2 weeks to get a paper signed by my drs office, because their computers were being worked on and they couldn’t get into my file. This sucks.
Sad and angry to see it go. Digital is NOT the way to go. I like to look through my paper magazine on the couch, the bed, or even in the bathtub…can’t do that with a digital device. Seriously. What the heck is up with this world??!!
