Scrapped! Episode 30 – Gratitude Mini Album

A Beautiful Way to Celebrate What Matters Most

November always inspires me to slow down and reflect on the things I’m most grateful for. For Scrapped! Episode 30, I wanted to create something that captured those heartfelt moments in a way I could revisit year after year. Instead of a traditional scrapbook page, I designed a Gratitude Mini Album—a keepsake filled with texture, layers, and interactive elements that make memory keeping both meaningful and fun.

This mini album is built using our Flip Flaps and features gorgeous pull-outs, flaps, pockets, and hidden journaling spots. It’s the perfect way to document gratitude, seasonal reflections, or family traditions during the holidays. And because the album structure is so versatile, you can recreate it for any theme—thankfulness, celebrations, travel, or even a yearly highlight book.

🎥 Be sure to watch the episode for a closer look at how the project comes together and ideas for customizing your own album.

About the Album

For this project, I started with chipboard (the kind that comes in Paper Pumpkin kits or many of our other crafting kits—recycling win!) to create sturdy front and back covers. The inside includes multiple sizes of Flip Flaps, thoughtful fold-outs, a waterfall element, reinforced center pages, and plenty of spaces for photos, journaling, and decorative touches.

Once the structure was built, I decorated the album using the warm, earthy tones of the Gathering Together Suite (165987), which felt absolutely perfect for a gratitude theme. The stamps, dies, textures, and embellishments all came together beautifully to create a heartfelt, cozy design.

Kits of the Month-Jaunary

Some of you many have noticed that I have the new January Card kit of the monthup.  I’ve also decided to add 2 new types of monthly projects.  I’ve added the page of the monthand the project of the month.

Just like the card kits you will get all of the consumable products you need such as paper, ribbon and some accessories.  I will be featuring one stamp set in each of the different kits.  You can always get this set on sale with the purchase of the monthly kit.

In addition I’ve added a Kit Night.  This will be the last Thursday of each month.  This is a night that you can come and use any of my products to complete your monthly kits.  If you have loved the monthly kits, but are missing several of the products and just can’t afford them  this is the best place to get them all done.  You must pre-order your kit by the 15thof each month in order to attend the kit night.  You can still order any of the kits by the 25thof each month and pick them up later or have them shipped (additional charge).

You can see more information about each kit and the current kits by clicking here.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Here is a preview of the kits for this month.  Click on any of them to go directly to that kit.

I hope you will enjoy this new program and take advantage of it.  I’m not the one that designs the card kits but I will be doing the other two so if there is any set that you would love to see featured please let me know.

I just want to quickly clarify.  This is a different program than my monthly club.  There is no commitment simply pick the ones that you want to do and let me know before the cut off date.
