Sometimes you want a quick and easy way to preserve those sweet summer memories and this mini album is just that!

Today I’m sharing what might be the easiest mini album ever. Using four 4" x 6" Flip Flaps, I created a simple little album that's perfect for capturing highlights of a trip, family adventures, or even quiet time in nature. It came together in under 30 minutes using the beautiful Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper as the background for each panel.

The watercolor and nature inspired themes of this paper pack are perfect for your summer memory keeping. Whether you're adding photos, journaling, tickets, or little bits of ephemera, you’ll have plenty of space to customize and make it just right for your memories.

The front cover features the word SUMMER spelled out with the Mini Alphabet Dies—a fun way to add a personalized title. I love that this project folds up nice and neat, yet will open up to reveal some sweet summer memories.

The self adhesive binding makes assembly a breeze.

 Whether you're new to scrapbooking or simply want something fast and fun, this Flip Flap format is the ticket. And  the best part...it’s just as easy to use them in your traditional scrapbook layouts, too!

You can prep this ahead of time and you’ll love how fun and fast it is to get your memories onto paper!

Summer has a way of filling our calendars with family visits, outdoor fun, birthdays...all kinds of adventures! This week, our family is leaning into all of it! From fishing to hiking to celebrating birthdays and even another visit to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.

So, this week, it's about "capturing"  the journey and using our family adventures as inspiration for special crafting moments.  We can all find something special even in the smallest moments...gathering wildflowers for a bouquet, simple memory keeping to preserve some fun family time at a theme park, or celebrating our Mia's 8th birthday.  It’s all about finding the joy and wonder in these summer moments and combining our love of crafting with these. Because sometimes the smallest moments turn into the biggest treasures.

Even if your summer looks quieter or more relaxed than mine, you still have a story to tell. Maybe it’s your grandkids splashing in the sprinkler. Or a Saturday morning walk. Or a quiet evening on the porch with iced tea and a good book. These are your little adventures and can inspire you to create something to preserve the memory or share with others.

Whether you’re crafting by yourself or bringing the grandkids into the fun, I hope my sharing with  you this week sparks fresh ideas that will inspire you to create.

So tell me...what little summer adventure are you enjoying right now?
