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.

Intriguing idea. I’d like to print a pattern to stitch, then embroider it before covering a book.
Does the backing label peel easily from the fabric after it has been through the printer? This might be problematic if one uses a laser printer that anneals toner using heat.
If not – is stitching through the paper possible? Have you tried it?
Thanks in advance for any/all answers. -k.
I haven’t tried this myself, but you can hop on over to Cyndy’s blog to ask her what she thinks.
