6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 3 DOODLE-POP STORAGE | with Karen

This weekend, it was time to get back to my new self care project - my Doodle-pop sticker book. So that means that I get to share some new pages and new ideas with you!  If you missed my first two posts you can find my cover post here and my first pages here.

   

For this section of my album, I wanted to focus on some of my favourite animal characters so I started off with the adorable toucan that coordinated with the papers I chose as the main theme for the album from the Seaside Summer collection.

   

Remembering that the goal of my sticker books is to be able to remove the Doodle-pops if I ever decide I can part with them (as if), I thought I would play around with some more ways to make that happen. On this little page, I used a divider from the album as the base and then just used one strip of Doodlebug Swiss Dot washi tape across the front to hold the Doodle-pop on place. The washi tape easily peels off of the Doodle-pop but still holds it firmly in place. And I used some brown polka dot print and strategically placed it so it looked a little bit like a tree branch that the toucan was perched upon! A few die cuts from the Odds and Ends packs also add a little more stability by overlapping on top of the Doodle-pop. I just used some foam adhesive to give them a bit of volume making sure not to put the adhesive on the Doodle-pop. But let's be real - this little layout and Doodle-pop are so darn cute, they are never leaving this album!

   

On to the next page! For this set, I actually wanted to try something completely different. I wanted to see if there was a way I could do away with the packaging completely and still be able to remove the Doodle-pop later if I wanted to. To do this, I decided to grab some release paper!

   

Now here's the thing with release paper though - nothing really sticks to it...so that is both good and bad in this context. If you were to put the Doodle-pop right on the release paper, it would just slide off. So to counteract this a bit, I added a strip of washi tape to the release paper, wrapping it around the back and overlapping it so it stayed in place. Then I placed the Doodle-pops so that they are partially on the washi tape and partially on the release paper. The Doodle-pops come off of the washi tape quite easily as well, but also provide enough "grab" to keep them on the release paper.

   

I simply trimmed them down and backed each one with some Petite Prints paper in Buffalo Plaid/Wood Grain and was all set! These give a really clean and simple look to the page. So there you go - a couple of new ways that you can utilize washi tape to help you keep the Doodle Pops in your new sticker album! I hope it will inspire you to get that collection on display! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HALLOWEEN DISNEYLAND PART 2 | with Miguel

They say that remembering is living again and today I decided to document a wonderful trip from 2023 to Paris!  I got to visit one of the most magical places, Disneyland. And I think Doodlebug's 6x8 albums are great for documenting.

If you missed my cover post you can see it here.  The first page places the month and date of this great trip with some Sweet & Spooky  This & That Stickers and Puffy Icon Stickers.

On my next page,  I placed the photo of the castle and continued decorating with Odds & Ends and added a title with some Alphabet Soup Stickers.

I love the photo insert pocket pages because they allow you to capture several moments on a single page.

On the other page I added cardstock and Stickers.  I love that you can add lots of things to the pockets to display!

I will be back with more ideas from my book in my next posts. See you soon!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 PART 2 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with the second installment of my Doodlebug 2025 6x8 Mini Album.  As I mentioned in my cover post (here) one of my goals for 2025 was to get back to documenting the everyday life and special events.  I created the clean and colorful cover to my album and I wanted to bring the same feel throughout the rest of the book, so I created quarterly dividers using the same font (Impact) and papers cut using my Silhouette.  Take a peek...

I started with the sprinkled dividers that came with the album.  To each of those,  I attached three month names cut from various Petite Prints, and offset with the Cute & Crafty Bright Ideas lined paper.  I randomly zig-zag stitched around the letters to keep the same look as my cover.  I then glued the sprinkled divider to one of the tabbed chipboard dividers to hide the stitching.  I also added some rainbow petite prints to the tabs.  

Next came the fun part... decorating each month with a cute little Doodlebug Icon, and some shaped sprinkles.  I used mostly collections from the past year or two... there were so many to choose from! For January- March I used Icon Stickers and Shaped Sprinkles from Snow Much Fun, Lots of Love and Over the Rainbow.  I just adore the sweet bear with heart balloons!!! He's my favorite!

For April through June, I used Icon Stickers and Sprinkles from Bunny Hop, Hello Again and Farmhouse.

For July though September I used Icons from Hometown USA, Seaside Summer and Farmhouse.

And finally for October through December I used Icons from Hey Pumpkin, Farmers Market and Tinsel Time.  

Now I'm ready to get started scrapping my photos!  I'll be back in a couple of weeks to show my first few pages, and a few more divider ideas using my Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.  In the meantime, keep checking the blog for lots more 6x8 Mini Album inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - BUNNY HOP ALBUM PART 2 | with Conny

Hello everyone! It’s Conny, and today, I'm excited to explore the inside pages and pockets of this fun 6" x 8" mini album with you! If you missed it, we have already decorated the cover, which you can find in the blog post here . Let’s mix it up a little with the interior setup by incorporating elements from both the Hello Again and Bunny Hop collections for these pages.

I love tags!

In the 3" x 4" pockets, I added some colorful sequins and little sprinkles that create a playful vibe, making everything shine. Additionally, I included two sweet photos of Savanna having a great time hunting for eggs in our backyard with her dad! To add a magic touch, I incorporated a cute doodle-pop from the Butterfly Bouquet collection onto one of the cards.

On the back of this page, I added two more photos embellished with Odds and Ends or cardstock stickers. In one of those insert pockets, I included some tag flip pages using the Doodlebug Design - Hello Again Collection - 12" x 12" Double-Sided Paper - Just Because paper, along with a few tags.

It's coming together beautifully, and I'm truly excited to see how everything unfolds in this project! I've chosen to work with the 8 1/4" x 6 1/4" Forever Flowers design for that Large clear pocket. What I love most about this piece is the lovely wreath that already provides a wonderful background, setting the perfect tone. To enhance it further, I added a variety of extra flowers, along with charming butterflies and a cute bunny. I also included the phrase "Thanks for being you" as a heartfelt touch.

For the side pocket page, I decided to create a vibrant and eye-catching look by matting it with a rainbow-colored paper that adds a fun pop. I embellished this section with delightful Doodle-pops, which bring an element of playfulness to the design, as well as using cardstock from my mini album collection. Additionally, I rummaged through my stash and found a few adorable embellishments I had previously created, which fit perfectly with the overall theme of the album. It's all coming together seamlessly, and I can't wait to continue working on it!

I stitched the pocket with my sewing machine to keep the sprinkles inside, and I love that the pocket openings are on the side—nothing spills out. I love that!

Don't forget to enhance the outside of the pockets with various embellishments to create more layers and texture. This will add depth and visual interest to your project! I'm excited to share more of the interior pages of my album in the next post, so make sure to come back and check them out. Happy crafting, everyone! Sending love, Conny!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER WONDERLAND PART 2 | with Jen

Hi everyone!  It's Jen, and I'm back with some of the inside pages of my Snow Much Fun Mini Album. If you missed my cover post you can find it here.   The new Doodlebug 6x8 albums come with 10 pocket protector pages. There are four configurations: four 3x4 pockets, two 4x6 pockets, two 3x4 and one 4x6, and a large 6x8.

These pockets can be really fun to decorate! For my album I used a combination of 6x6 papers and 12x12 papers. I used stickers from the This and That sticker sheet, Icon sticker, Mini Icon stickers, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces.

All of my embellishments are added to the outside of the page protector. This keeps the page protectors flat and allows you to pop up the embellishments if you would like.

On some of the pages I added flaps to a couple of pages by taking a piece of white cardstock cutting it to the height of the pocket and then scoring it so it folds over the front, adding the space to add photos.

For this large pocket I added a flap with some acetate for something different.

I have a process video for you here.

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some more from the inside of my mini!  Have a great day!

6 x 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 2- WINTER WONDERLAND ALBUM | with Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I'm back to share some of the fun inside pages of my Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook. (If you missed my cover post, you can see it here.) I designed this with one of the 6x8 Mini Albums in swimming pool and the adorable Winter Wonderland Collection. 

This is the first page and it's one of five chipboard tabbed dividers included in the album. I covered it in the pretty purple 12x12 Frosted Forest print and added a strip of the Cozy Cardigan plaid paper on top. 

Next, I created two flippies out of white cardstock and 3x4 cards from the other side of the Cozy Cardigan print. I love that these can hold 4 photos on this one mini album page!

Here are pages 2 and 3. These winter colors, patterned papers, and sweet little characters are the cutest.

For page 2, I created a fold-out element on the backside of the tabbed divider. I covered the front of the flap in the floral Nightfall paper and added the polar bear die cut from the Odd & Ends. Then, I created another fun flippie with the 3x4 Hello card and added that along the edge.

Inside the flap, I used the Snow Wonder snowflake paper, a pretty pink die cut from the Odds & Ends, and adhered the 3x4 Let It Snow card to the backside of the Hello card flippie.

On the right, I added the striped Just Chillin' paper, then created a photo mat out of the blue side of the Nightfall print. I finished the page with the adorable moose die cut. ... I just love her sassy side grin. :)

Page 3 is one of four pocket pages that come in the album ready to embellish. I covered the front with the cute snowmen print (Just Chillin') and added the Baby It's Cold Outside sticker from the This & That sheet.

Inside the pocket, I added a few photo mats but you could also save journaling cards and memorabilia here. Add tickets, postcards, notes, invitations, a small map, a recipe, greeting cards, <!--[if gte mso 9]> an itinerary, a brochure, etc.

Here is page 4. It's a great layout for one fabulous photo. I used the Yeti for Winter paper in the background and layered a strip of the Snow Wonder snowflakes on top. I made 2 photo mats from the Frosted Forest print and embellished with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat. 

The album includes 10 assorted clear page protectors and above is one divided into four 3x4 spaces. I added two cute cards from the Cozy Cardigan print and two mats for photos.

I think page 6 may be filled with every one of the adorable winter animals in this collection! That cute background paper is called Snow Cozy. I added 2 photo mats on top and a happy Yeti die cut.

Above is 1 of 4 colorful card stock pages that also come in the album. I folded it in half to create an interactive fold-out page and added some cute Odds & Ends, making sure to leave room for a photo. 

Flip that up and there are 3 more photo mats inside made from the polka dot paper called Hit The Slopes and white cardstock. 

I hope I've given you a few fun ideas on how to decorate these wonderful 6x8 Mini Albums. Next time, I'll show you more pages from this winter scrapbook. Until then, happy crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER ALBUM PART 2 | with Erica

Hello Friends! Erica here with you today and this week on the blog I am sharing a peek inside my 6x8 mini album using the vibrant and cheerful Tinsel Time collection! Mini albums are my favorite way to capture holiday memories, and I couldn’t wait to get creative with these pages.

I’m a huge fan of cut files, so I sized down this gorgeous ornament background (from my shop) to fit perfectly into my album. After backing it with colorful patterned papers from Tinsel Time, I added foam adhesive for dimension and adhered it to my page base. The result? A page that’s full of texture and holiday cheer!

Another layout design I love is a classic grid. It’s clean, organized, and perfect for adding multiple photos or embellishments. For this page, I paired the grid with adorable Odds & Ends from the collection—it’s simple, but so effective!

To add a little extra interest to my album, I incorporated cards and envelopes as additional pages. They’re so versatile and bring a fun interactive element to the album. I’ll fill these with journaling, mini photos, or even tiny keepsakes to make them extra special.

Once all my pages are finished, I’ll add in my photos and journaling to complete the album.

I can’t wait to show you the final result next time! To see my my previous post that shows my album cover, click here.  Thanks for stopping by!
