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!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - SHAKER EMBELLISHMENTS | with Jen

I'm sure by now you have all figured out how much I love to make shakers! Whether I'm using them on a card, layout, or mini album I just love the interactive element they add. Today I have three shakers I made using the Doodlebug SVG files available in Lori Whitlock's shop. I used files from three different collections. I have a full recorded tutorial on how to manipulate the files in Cricut Design Space linked below.

First up is a fairly simple shaker using the Rainbow with Clouds from the Fairy Garden Collection. For this shaker I just used the cloud pieces for the shaker and filled them with Lily White Shaker Balls. This is a very basic shaker and not hard to make.

For my second shaker I stepped it up a bit and used the Winter Mountains from the Snow Much Fun Collection. For this shaker I used the main mountains to make to separate shakers and then layered them together to complete the overall shaker. I used the Ice Crystals and Flurry Shakers to fill. This is a very dimensional piece and would be great in a mini album.

And my last shaker I used the Cola image from Hello Again. For this shaker I made mini shakers out of some of the ice cubes inside the larger cola shaker. This one was a little bit trickier with the ice cube shakers inside, and the gap at the top of the cup between the lid and the "cola". The finished product is really fun and would be great as a card or on a layout.

Full video tutorial can be found here.  Thanks for stopping by!

HOME SWEET HOME ALBUM HELLO AGAIN MINI | with Lisa

This week, I allowed myself a small break from Christmas scrapping and used one of my favorite Doodlebug collections , the wonderful Hello Again!  I used it to decorate my Home Sweet Home chipboard album.


This would be such a cool gift for friends and family!  Whether they just moved into a new house,  or to document the first year or special occasion in a new house, it's perfect! The vibes of the Hello Again collection are sooo happy and fun and like I said a few times already, I LOVE all the gold in it.


To make the cutting of the pattern papers for the pages easier and faster this time, I created cut files and let my Silhouette do the cutting work :) For the curtains, I just cut out triangles and adhered them to the back of the windows. I also used hanging flowerpot stickers to add behind the windows, looks cute... :)


As a tassel, I added shimmering tulle to one of the binding rings, (which I replaced by teal ones) and I also added two little charmers!


Let's take a peek into the album...


Some journaling spots and die cuts...


A piece of the lovely gold dotted acetate...






For the pages of the album, I tried to an assortment of the embellishments from the collection. I also cut out a page from the gold dots acetate sheet. I love the page with the dimensional butterflies and the pink one with all the stickers around the borders.  I added some tulle on two of the pages, which I think looks so cute. I always need to think of leaving some space for the photos, otherwise I would never stop decorating and wouldn't have any pages left for photos... ;) Try making your own Home Sweet Home album, it's so much fun! See you soon...

HOME SWEET HOME CHIPBOARD ALBUM - HELLO AGAIN | with Nathalie

I hope you have all been enjoying all the inspiration using the new Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album. Well, I have a new idea for your albums and one of my favorite Doodlebug collections, Hello Again.

I wanted something that could house everyday memories in a cute way. So, I decided to go for a simple design for the cover of the album. I used Petite Prints and Hello Again as well as the templates included in the album package.


I decided to split the inside pages on an easy formula for photos and journaling. I am using simple pages for photos, with interactive pages with space for journaling and extra photos. I repeat this throughout the album.


In addition, I am opting for using a combination of simple Petite Prints with patterned papers from the Hello Again collection for each of the page stops. This helped me to easily combine patterns, and embellish the page.


I love large photos, and each page of the album can easily accommodate a 5x7 photo per page. So, I decided to pair the large photo with an interactive element. Gotta love how easily the patterned papers combine in each Doodlebug collection.


As I moved through the album, I made sure to stay with one of the collection colors as the starting point for the page. It made it easier to keep the album and patterned papers coherent and fun without overwhelming the pages as it album progressed.

I hope this inspired you to take a look at the new Doodlebug House Chipboard Albums. You are going to love personalizing them with your favorite collections.  XO!
