Nothing better than this scrapbook layout!

Page two of Day one is finished and I'm loving all the extra space for memories on this layout! Adding little interactive elements like flaps always makes scrapbook pages feel even more special. 

I love how pictures truly bring a page to life

...capturing a memory with a short story. 

Tip: Add an extra flap for additional photos of journaling spots. Once your  page is inside the sleeve protector, use a sharp edge like scissors to carefully slice around  three sides of the flap. This lets you flip through and enjoy the interactive page without needing to remove it from the protector every time. Such an easy little trick and so worth it. 

These pages are quickly becoming some of my favorites from this album. Nothing better than capturing happy moments with the people you love most.

Vitual Album Retreat (1)...You watched me create the pages on other social platforms.

 You watched me create the pages on other social platforms.... now come watch me finish them with photos! 

This is DAY ONE of two and I'm honestly loving how this turned out.

That little pocket detail might be one of my favorite parts. Such a cute way to tuck away journaling and eztra memories once the page slides into the protector sleeve, I make a tiney slit rifht aboute the pocket so the journaling card can slide in and out easily. Simple little trick but it works perfectly!

Scrapbooking really is the best way to relive those happy days all over again. Let me know if you try this tip.

Creative Swinging Card Fun Fold ✨🚀

I had so much fun creating this playful swinging card using the adorable 

Moon & Back Stamp Set! 

This fun fold is one of those projects that looks extra special but is actually simple and fun to put together. The swinging center gives the card movement and a little surprise element that makes it perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or any space-loving crafter 

in your life.

I love how the little astronaut swings right into the center of the card, creating such a whimsical interactive design. And those bold black dots? In my YouTube tutorial below, I’ll show you a super easy technique using the end of a pencil to create perfect circles and dots on your projects. Such a simple trick, but it adds so much fun detail to your cards!

✨ Measurements:

• Basic Beige Cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"
  Score at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4"
• Basic White Insert: 5-1/4" x 4"
• Basic White Sentiment Strip: 3/4" x 1-1/2"

This card is a great reminder that interactive cards don’t have to be complicated to be absolutely adorable. I hope this inspires you to grab your supplies and give this creative swinging card a try! Watch tutorial below to see all the details.
