6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP XOXO ALBUM | with Tarrah

Today, I have a recap of my love themed Doodlebug Design 6" x 8" album using the Bubblegum color album together with the gorgeous Lots of Love collection. My favorite part of my album would have to be the front cover, I just love pink, red and white together and how can you go past that cute teddy bear with the balloons right?

Some detail photos below of the front cover.

I loved that I could add some detail to the name plate on the spine.

My front page has a heart cut file on it with some papers backed behind the cut file. I added my title and a banner to begin the theme of my album.

Below is the 'Sweet' themed double spread I created using an album chipboard cover and some album pocket pages. The pocket pages are perfect for adding small photos and smaller embellishments.

The spread below features one large pocket page on the left with a jar of hearts cut file and the right hand side holds a photo mat and some embellishments from the die-cut packs, Chit Chat, Odds and Ends and some This and That stickers.

The below spread has the pocket page on the right with all of the hearts added and the left hand side holds a large photo with some Chit Chat and Odds and Ends die-cuts.

The right-hand side pocket on the page below holds some sweet Valentine's cards and love notes my partner and I have exchanged, because of the whole letter theme for this spread, I just had to use the envelope/delivery embellishments.

The 25 Things I Love About You journal card was the perfect addition to my album, I was able to write down 25 things that I love about my partner and I love that we can look back on this in the future to remind us.

The below spread is my floral spread, I loved adding a few flowers to this spread in the form of a mixed size pocket page.

I loved adding elements like machine stitching and cut files to my album, I love that the machine stitching adds some texture along with Doodle Twine and I love how cut files really help with designs and filling pages.

I absolutely LOVE anything to do rainbows so I had to feature a rainbow page. The below chipboard cover features a photo on a photo mat with some rainbow embellishments and I created a pocket to be able to pull out that might hold extra photos and/or journaling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see the recap of my 6" x 8" album! I hope you get the chance to add some memories and pretty things to your album, we would love to see yours! Make sure to tag Doodlebug on socials so we can see! Happy creating!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Can you believe it's March already and what better month to finally showcase my completed 6x8 mini album! It's all ready to be filled with my family Valentine's Day memories all month long from February 1st to the 28th! I've been hoarding all the memorabilia that are going to be documented! Yay. And that way, when we want to look back, we have all the memories in one album, an album of love. There's a full flip through video at the end, double yay :-)

Let's begin with a showcase of my favorite pages! I loved creating this cover! It has so much dimension and textural elements to it, true eye candy! And as it's Valentine's themed, nothing beats candy!

Lots of Love is my FAV Valentine's collection in the history of Valentine's collections! I could create with it all year long! Just look at those super cute characters and blushed cheeks. Hello cute teacup and adorbs tea bag that comes out.

Let's look at the next couple pages over; the shaker pockets! I love to take out this page and give it a good shake and the side tab means I can turn the page more easily!

 

The pocket pages are one of the best features in these mini albums I feel because you can use them to create little areas for your memory keeping like journaling spots, shakers, name cards and spaces to add photos too, so many ideas!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 RECAP | with Kathy

I have had so much fun working on my Hello 2025 Mini Album!  Documenting my favorite moments from each month has been so enjoyable!  Today I have a couple more pages, and a run-through of all of my pages to date.  My hope is to keep adding to my book each month!

After my last post, I took a few more pics that I wanted to document.  That is the beauty of these mini albums, it's so easy to just "add in" pictures!  For these photos, I used one of the cards from the Rainbow Card Collection.  I punched holes using the inserts as a guide.  It was the perfect way to fit in more photos! Take a peek...

On the front of the card, I added some Odds & Ends & Chit Chat pieces from the Lots of Love Collection.

Inside the card I added a strip of Cupcake Floral/Graph Petite Prints as a matt and added my photo.  I embellished with stickers from the This & That, a tab from the Bits & Pieces and the date using some Ladybug Alphabet Soup Stickers.

On the back of the card I added another favorite photo of my buddy giving me some snuggles. 

In addition to these photos, I also prepped my calendar inserts for March & April.

I've added these pages to the ones you've already seen... here are a few of my favorites!  Also, I created a short video flip through of my album at the end!

Here's a video flip through of my pages to date.

I already have my next pages planned, and I can't wait to share them with you!  If you've been working on one of our 6x8 Mini Albums, be sure to tag Doodlebug on Socials.  We love to see what you create.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - XOXO ALBUM PART 4 | with Tarrah

Today I am back to share some more pages from my Bubblegum 6 x 8 album and I have continued using the gorgeous Lots of Love collection throughout my album, I love this collection to document the love between my partner and me.  If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here and my pages posts here and here.

I decided that my title page would have a heart background cut file and I also placed the "So Happy Together" Chit Chat die-cut title over the top of the cut file and also added the heart banner Chit Chat under the title. I backed the hearts in the cut file with some papers from the 6" x 6" paper pad.

For this next spread, I chose a rainbow theme. On the left hand side I made a pocket to be able to pull out extra photos and journaling and added a rainbow Odds & Ends piece to the top. I added a rainbow envelope Doodle Pop to the front ( aren't they just the cutest?) and also some Bumblebee Doodle Twine along with some puffy stickers.

On the right hand side, I added one of the long journal spots to the far right and then a 3" x 4" card on the other side, I also added some small puffy hearts to the card.

For this next spread, I used a pocket on the right hand side and a clear pocket page on the right. I made this one the heart hot air balloon theme. I added the large "25 Things I Love About You" journaling paper on the far right, adhering it to the top of the pocket on the right. I took another 3" x 4" card and adhered that next to the journaling card. I added a photo here and popped up the "Love" title with craft foam.

It didn't take me long to write 25 things I love about my partner hehe!

On the left hand side is the clear pocket page, at the top I added a photo and stapled a banner die-cut and added the You & Me arrow. I also added some hearts in a die-cut and some puffy stickers. On the bottom section, I added a paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad and placed some stickers from the This and That sticker sheet, I also added some die-cuts here as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check back here on the Doodlebug blog to see more of the insides of the creative team's albums! I hope you get the chance to document your memories in one of the gorgeous Doodlebug 6" x 8" albums! Happy creating!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

How was your Valentines, Galentines or love day! Whether you celebrated or not, welcome to the cuteness! Today I'm showing you my third glance inside my 6x8 mini Cupcake album. If you missed my previous posts you can see my cover here and my page posts here and here.  Today,  it's time to take a look into my darling cute and love mini album using the ever gorgeous Valentine's collection, Lots of Love! And of course, I have a video at the end because there is nothing like seeing the pages flip :-)

As you know these mini albums with a colourful fabric lay-flat spine come with so many fun pages including pocket pages, chipboard tabbed dividers and coloured inserts! So much packed into these albums from the start!

This is one of my favourite pages! I love the four pocket page where I've filled one corner with polymer sprinkles and Shaker Balls and layered a cute cluster of ephemera on top! Look at the XOXO, I've created this with the Skinny Cardstock Alpha stickers, fits perfectly in that journaling ephemera piece. And we cannot miss that cute cherry couple. Hello sugar!

There's also room to create your own page insert! Here I've used a 12x12 paper to do so. Fold and then fold inwards again and it creates a hidden foldout page, perfect for secret love messages and a top secret cupcake frosting recipe! Check out the video for the opening of this page ;-)

Above I've decided this album needed some textures, so I added in bits and pieces of vellum to soften areas so elements were given a platform to shine! Look how sweet the vintage telephone looks with it's stitched details, super darling!

As a double treat, not only its there a video on my featured pages, but I've left the last pages for you to see in the video showcasing! Enjoy crafty friends xx
