The new Doodlebug fairies are loving their new home tucked inside this sweet card-envelope mini album! "Fairy Garden" is filled to the brim with mushroom houses, garden critters and of course, colorful fairy girls!

 I've taken a pack of assorted cards and envelopes, a few 6X6 papers and journal cards to create the pages of this chunky little mini.  I'm happy to share a quick little YouTube video of how I put the pages together, so I hope you'll check it out!

As you can see, I've stacked and staggered the cards and envelopes by shape and color.  In between the layers of those, I've also added sheets of 6X6 papers that have been folded in half.  Also, a couple of pieces of the 3X4 journal cards that were side-by-side and then folded in half.

The envelopes were slightly modified (shown in video) by cutting the closure flap in half so that it will open on both sides of the fold. I also cut away the flaps on a few of the envelopes.  Fill the pockets with tags and journal cards!

The pages were embellished with die-cuts, washi tapes, stickers, sprinkles and more!

For the longer journal cards, I folded them in half and then used a cute clip to hold it closed.  Leftover strips of paper were turned into tabs that I added to some of the smaller pages.  I love all of the staggers of colors and patterns popping out as you move throughout the album!

Again, I have a pretty short video on how I started with this album and a bit of the process of putting it together: YouTube Video.  I hope you'll give it a try!

Fairy Garden WIshes!

I started with a wooden package of chick ornaments that I purchased from The Dollar Tree!

There are a total of eight 4"X3" wooden shapes in the pack; I painted both sides of each yellow.

I traced the shape onto one of the 6X6 paper pad papers and trimmed out. I used mod podge to apply the paper and seal.  Next I embellished with a Doodle Pop and a few stickers!

Using the 2.25" circle portion of the Nesting Scallops Dies, I cut various circles of paper to use as photo mats.  The pages were lightly embellished with stickers, mini icon stickers, enamels, small Doodle Pops, etc.

The completed pages were combined together with a 1.5" ring and a matching piece of gingham ribbon tied on!  This would also be a fun project for the kids to make a page for mom or grandma...a sweet Easter brag book keepsake!

Thanks for joining!
