Fun, Bro! Mini album using Teen Vibe Carson with Conny Craig

Hey Crafty Friends!

It's Conny here, I'm excited to share with you a lovely mini album that I put together using the Teen Vibe Carson collection. This mini album is a special way for me to capture and cherish some important milestones and memories of my husband. It's funny how boys never really stop being teens at heart, right? This collection perfectly captures his interests and hobbies, from his love for basketball games to his passion for playing video games and unwinding in his way. It's all about showcasing his growth and evolution as a man, leveling up in different aspects of his life every day. I love this man so much!

 

Let's get started with the cutting guide.

2 Chipboard covers measuring 4" X 5"
1 Chipboard spine measuring 5" X 1.5"
2 pieces of 110lb black cardstock 5.5" X 6 3/4"
1 piece measuring 3 1/4 X 6 3/4", Control freak paper.
1 piece of 110lb cardstock 6" X 5"
2 pieces of cardstock for inside the album to cover the chipboard measuring 3 7/8" X 4 7/8".
PAGES:
4 7/8" X 4 1/2" - Score at 1/2" - First Page
4 7/8" X 7 1/2 - Score at 4 7/8" and 4 3/8" - Second page
4 7/8" X 12" - Score at 1 7/8", 5 3/4", 6 1/4" and 10 1/8".

Instructions:

To create the book cover, I prepared the chipboard covers, which measured 4" x 5". I added double-sided tape to the covers and then carefully placed them on the heavy 110lb black cardstock. Each piece of cardstock measured 5.5" x 6 3/4", providing a perfect fit with about 3/4 of an inch of extra space all around. Using a book cover guide tool, I trimmed the corners at the proper angles and then wrapped the chipboard, resulting in a finished look similar to the one shown in the photo above.

I repeated a similar process with the chipboard spine, which measured 5" x 1.5". Instead of black cardstock, I opted for a single piece measuring 3 1/4" x 6 3/4" of Control Freak paper.

FOLLOW THE STEPS!

1. Take 1 piece of 110lb cardstock measuring 6" x 5".
2. Score the cardstock at 2 1/8" and 3 7/8".
3. Place the chipboard spine, covered with the control freak paper, in the middle of the scored cardstock, leaving about 2 1/8" on each side.
4. Trim the flaps at an angle that will be adhered to the covers. You can refer to the example photos for guidance.
5. Add double-sided tape to the flaps and also apply a small amount of liquid glue.
6. Adhere the covers to the flaps.

I covered the chipboard inside the album with black cardstock from the Bella Besties, measuring 3 7/8" X 4 7/8".

PAGES:
4 7/8" X 4 1/2" - Score at 1/2" - First Page
4 7/8" X 7 1/2 - Score at 4 7/8" and 4 3/8" - Second page
4 7/8" X 12" - Score at 1 7/8", 5 3/4", 6 1/4" and 10 1/8". Third Page

When selecting papers for the pages, you have the freedom to choose from your favorite collection. However, I have personally chosen Let's Talk and The Guys. These papers all have a 1/2" inch margin that can be adhered to the spine. Furthermore, the third page features pockets that offer flexibility in terms of layout. These pockets can be flipped in and out, and I opted to have them facing each other.

I made sure to leave the last page blank so that I could add a current photo from this month. I enhanced the photo and layered it on top of the cardstock, creating a small cluster of embellishments. That's all for now!

Thank you for stopping by, XoConny!

All The Girl Stuff | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! Tara with Secretbees Studio here with an adorable project featuring the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection! If you have a collection like this one with so many fabulous icons, embellishments and patterned papers, the best way to show everything off is to create a pocket letter!

I used a pocket page that has nine 3x4 pockets, combining the two at the top as one. I picked out just a few of the pretty papers that featured mostly light pink tones and cut them to size. For a bit of flair, I added a single black paper to the center and added in a few black touches throughout the rest of the page. A mixture of ephemera, words and stickers were layered onto the pockets and accented with heart and flower epoxy stickers!

Of course, one of the pockets is filled with shiny sequins and another features an actual pocket that is stuffed with two amazing Bella Pops. For even more shine, I added some glittery card stock to two of the pockets and layered in more silver and pink sequins too! It was so hard to choose the embellishments for the tops of the pockets, but I knew no matter which ones I decided on, it would be a beautiful pocket page!

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Hope I inspired some creativity!

Kid's Birthday Layout with Teen Vibe Caitlyn

Hi friends! I hope you're all doing well. I’m excited to share a new 12x12 scrapbook page I made using the *Caitlyn* collection by Bella Blvd. If you’re looking for the perfect collection to document anything girl-related, this is it! The bright and fun colors were exactly what I needed to capture the special bond between my kiddo and her BFF. These two have been inseparable since they met as babies, and they make it a point to celebrate each other’s birthdays every year. Watching their friendship grow has been such a joy, and I knew I had to document one of their birthday moments.

For the layout, I decided to go with a color-blocked design—especially since I’m a sucker for anything rainbow-themed! I created shaker-style frame squares using the striped acetate sheet for the largest 3x3 squares in the center. For the smaller squares on the outside, I used them to frame my 2x2 photos. This added some fun dimension to the page while keeping the tone playful and light.

To keep the whole layout feeling airy, I added colorful splatters in the background, which really brought the page to life. I finished things off with a fun title mounted on foam adhesive, a few embellishments, and some heartfelt handwritten journaling. Of course, no page is complete without a date stamp, and I love how it all came together.

I usually like to back my pages with contrasting paper for that extra pop, and I’m so happy with how this one turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something special today. Remember, scrapbooking is all about capturing the moments that matter most.

Happy crafting!

Die cut or machine cut a heart design on the Daily Details backer paper and then add some foam tape to the back and adhere it the center of your card. 

 

Pick out three Ephemera Icons and adhere them to the center of your heart. I used foam tape on all three of the images. If that is too much dimension for you use liquid glue. 

 

This collection is full of amazing sentiments/sayings let's pick one from the new Caitlyn Ciao Chip board. I added foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card.

My Girl Scrapbook Layout | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I'm so HAPPY to share a fun layout with you today using the brand new, Caitlyn collection.  This collection is bright and beautiful with some gorgeous pops of black and I love it! Here's my page: 

I chose to use a piece of white cardstock as my base because I wanted the patterned papers to really stand out on this page.  I layered up the following papers, Glam (B side), Skincare (B side) and Chatterbox. I also wanted to include a tiny bit of mixed media, so I ink blended on a few Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Mustard, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry.

Next, I chose some floral pieces from the Ephemera Icons pack and arranged them around my photo.  The pops of black throughout the collection really make everything pop! Especially on top of the ink blended background.  It's all so fun and pretty!

For my title, I chose the word 'girl' from the Ciao Chip Chipboard sticker sheet and added onto it using some Florence Alphas in black.

I embellished using a few more Ephemera Icons and Ciao Chip stickers. The flowers with the happy faces? So adorable!! For a finishing touch, I sprinkled in a few of the Big Heart Epoxy stickers.

Here's one last look at this sweet page: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you next time friends!

Using the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! It's my first layout using the super cool new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection and again I decided to think outside of the box and use it in a less-teenified way! I was actually inspired by all the cosmetic and makeup elements that are part of the collection so decided to document my first career which was in Beauty Therapy and the skincare industry. 

I knew I had to feature that Kissy Lips paper so gutted it to leave a 1" frame, then stuck a 10½" white card square to that, with the edges distressed of course! Then I built up six different pink and red patterned paper layers to go behind my two photos and stuck them all down to the centre of the white card. 

I mounted my two photos using the other side of the Kissy Lips paper as it was black and thought this would help them pop from the background. 

Next was to create the embellishment cluster which I wanted to run horizontally along the bottom of my photos. I used flowers and cosmetic elements from the Ephemera Icons, along with some Puffy Stickers and Epoxy Stickers. And I just had to use that fun Bella-pops Sticker set of the perfume bottle and lipstick! 

I kept my title simple using 'memories' from the Ephemera Words which I raised on foam pads, and then added my journaling below that. Now, I actually ran out of room for it so added a tag from the Ephemera Words which I just tucked behind my photos and this allowed me to finish off the journaling. Note to self next time.... draw in longer lines to journal on! 

I hope you have enjoyed my first layout using the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection. It's obviously just perfect for those teens in your life or use it like I did and get creative! Thanks so much for stopping by!
