Warm Fuzzies

Scrapbooking has always had a warm fuzzy appeal to it. We document memorable times, special people and moments that we never want to forget. With the ever growing popularity of the fabric arts and fiber trending, it isn’t a surprise that felt, fabric, and all those “warm fuzzy” accessories are showing up in lay-outs. Flipping through the current issue of Creating Keepsakes, there on the cover is a wonderful example of how felt and fabric are being used in unique and innovative ways right there to inspire their readers. As we approach cooler weather here in Michigan, I am thinking knitted sweaters, flannel shirts, and fuzzy slippers….wonder in what ways I could use them in my own creative memory documenting adventures?

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.
