Hippity Hoppity Chick Album
Mini albums are perfect for Easter basket stuffers. Whether it's for the bigs or littles, moms or grandmas, this little album is sure to be a hit! Today I'm sharing a chick shaped album featuring the "Hippity Hoppity" Collection
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!

Hippity Hoppity Exploding Album
Hooray, Spring is on the way! Today I'm sharing my version of the very popular "exploding" box album. These are double-the-fun because you can also use the inside for little treats or wrapped candies!
I started with two sheets of Doodlebug cardstock: bubblegum and bumble bee. I left the bubblegum sheet 12X12 and scored at 3" and 9"; turned 90 degrees and scored at 3" and 9" again. Next, I cut the sides as shown below:
With the paper facing me (as shown above), I glued the bottom left flap to the bottom center flap. Next, I turned the paper 90 degrees and repeated the process until the four flaps were all glued to the adjacent flap. You will end up with a + sign. You could cut away the flaps instead of gluing, but I wanted to make the sides extra sturdy.
I cut mats of paper to 2.5"X2.5" and added them to the outer-sides of the flaps. I also corner rounded the top edges for a cleaner look. The panels were then embellished with die-cuts, stickers, sprinkles and Doodle-Pops!
For the lid: I cut a 6.25" X 6.25" piece of patterned paper and scored 1" around all four sides. The edges were folded to create the lip of the box. I used the scallop border die to add a little decoration around the edge.
Moving to the inside of the box: I cut a smaller piece from the bumblee cardstock. I trimmed it down to 10"X10" and scored at 3 1/3". Because this is an unusual scoring mark, I rotated the paper to score the three additional marks. This helped to keep all of the scoring even!
I repeated the same cutting of the flaps as I did wit the bubblegum paper above. Finally, I adhered the middle of the bumble bee paper to the center of the bubblegum paper. The flaps were all embellished with mats of 6X6 papers trimmed to 3X3, washi tapes, stickers and enamels!
Around the inner flaps of the bubblegum paper, I made pocket sleeves and then added die-cut tags using the Doodle Cuts Large Tags die set!
I'm also thinking that smaller versions would look so sweet tucked into Easter baskets...OR, add a handle in some way and use IT as a basket. Great for table place settings or happy mail :)

Travelers Notebook
Simply Spring Mini Travelers
Whether you need an Easter basket stuffer or a fun craft for kids,
these Simply Spring Mini Travelers are a breeze to put together!
For this duo, you will need: an 8X8 sheet protector (full sheet w/out pockets),
round elastic cording, scrapbook papers and embellishments. As far as "tools
", I've used a sewing machine, but this is optional if you don't have one.
To get started, I trimmed away the edge of the page protector
where the holes are located. Next, I cut a sheet of patterned
paper to 8X8 and inserted into the protector.
I cut the protector and paper (horizontally) and loaded the paper
into each sleeve with the opening at the top. One edge of the protector
will be left unattached, so I solved this by adding
an eyelet to hold the side closed:
Next, I scored a 1/2" spine into the paper/protector
(scored at 3.75" and 4.25") and then folded several times to create nice creases.
I used my sewing machine to create a zig-zag stitching
down the center of the spine. This just helps to secure the
protector, so you could hand-stitch, staple or use brads/eyelets
if you don't have a machine.
You will also see (above) that I hole punched an 1/8" hole
the top and bottom of the spine and also at the center of the spine.
tied through a piece of round elastic through the spine and knotted inside.
For the closure, I knotted a small piece of elastic and slipped
through the middle hole (with the knot on the inside).
Now onto the pages! I cut six strips of double-sided paper
to 6.75" X 3.5", layered them all together (one on top of the other)
and inserted them through the elastic:
For the embellishing, I simply used a 2.5"square die to cut
mats and then added them with foam tape.
I also included some of the small stickers and sprinkles!
This recipe is for one of the mini travelers, so just repeat the process for other mini.
I added a ball chain through the eyelet at the back and loaded
it with a cute tag, shaped clips and then tied on a bow!
So perfect for an Easter basket stuffer or add photos
and give as a brag book to grandma!
Have a HAPPY EASTER!
