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 - 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 - RECAP WINTER WONDERLAND PAGES | with Traci

Hey scrappers! Traci here and today, I'm sharing the final post of my Build a Snowman Mini Album. I'll be sharing my favorite pages, some of the fun elements I created, and recapping all the goodies that come with Doodlebug's new Mini Albums. With one more month of winter, I hope this project gives you a little inspiration for saving this season's memories.  

I created this scrapbook with the 6x8 Mini Album in swimming pool and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection. For all the details on how I designed the cover, click Build A Snowman Album Part 1. 

Doodlebug's Mini Albums include so many great features and this first page is one of them. It's 1 of 5 chipboard tabbed dividers and I added pretty patterned papers and 2 flippies to it. These folding cards were made with 3x4 cards and have space inside for 4 photos.

Another great detail of the Mini Album is that it comes with 4 pocket pages. Some are positioned along the bottom and others along the side. I like to add cards to mine that can be used as photo mats or for journaling, and ... tuck all my special little memorabilia inside.

The album also has 4 colorful card stock pages like the pistachio polka one above. I folded mine in half to create a fold-out page. Then, I added some cute die cuts and photo mats. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 2. 

I love making mini albums but their smaller size can limit how many pictures and embellishments can be added. So, I incorporate layers that add as much space as possible. In the photo above, I created a fold-out page AND a little deer flippie on the front. Now, this gives you room for 4 pics!

Here is one of the pockets that are along the side of the page. I like that Doodlebug mixed them up a bit. For this one, I covered it with pretty papers and added a tri-fold pull-out card that's loaded with photo mats and cute die cuts. 

The album also comes with 10 assorted clear page protectors. Above is one of them and it's divided into two 4x6 inch spaces. I added some colorful prints, enamel shape sprinkles, die-cuts, and ... another flippie! For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 3.  

This layout has a bunch of interactive goodies. I created a fold-out page (seen on the left) for a large photo on the front and back. Then, I added some acetate snowflakes and few sparkling mini jewels.  

On the right, I created a pocket and tucked more journaling cards inside. Then, I made the front of the pocket a flippie and added the This & That scalloped sticker on top.

Open that flippie, and there's a 2nd pocket inside with two little 3x3 inch square cards. I love the interaction with scrapbook pages. What a fun surprise to open each layer and find sweet photos and handwritten notes.

Here's another one of the colored cardstock pages that are included in the album. I decorated with this one with a few winter die cuts and added another flippie that I made with a 3x4 card. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 4.  

My Build a Snowman Winter Album is complete! I hope I was able to give you some fun layout ideas and you're excited to create your own scrapbook with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Have a great day! 😊

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 - HELLO 2025 PART 4 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I'm back with some February pages from my 6x8 Hello 2025 Mini Album!  If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, my quarterly dividers here, and my January pages here.  I've really been trying to take more photos!  I got some fun ones for the month so far!  I documented them using the Lots of Love collection, take a peek...

I love the 3x4 pocket pages that come with the 6x8 mini albums!  They are the perfect size for the cut-apart sheets that come with Doodlebug collections.  I used some from the Lots of Love collection, and "dressed" them up a little.

I added the Hello Love Doodle-pop to the first card. I also added some shaped sprinkles (clouds and hearts) to the balloon card.  The February Memories piece was cut from the lists side of the Forever Flowers paper. I stamped February using the Calendar - Handwritten Doodle Stamps and finished with some Mint Alphabet Soup and Puffy Heart Stickers.

I created a heart-shaped sticker collage (think shadowbox inserts...) for the last insert.  The Xoxo was cut using the Love You Doodle Cuts.

We made a quick trip to NYC to visit my daughter... and took her and her roommate to dinner.  Such a fun night!  My city skyline was cut from petite prints using a die from my stash.  The little balloon is from the mini icons. I used the fun word stickers and tab from the This & That sheet and a pennant from the Chit Chats to embellish my pics.

My next spread includes photos from Valentine's Day and a February calendar, similar to what I created in January.

I took a few snaps of Valentine's fun!  I found some time to make cards for my loves (and a loaf of sourdough for my daughter!)  We also went to my bestie's house for a Valentine's dinner...complete with lots of festive treats (and my little buddy!!)  The photos are mounted on some Cupcake Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints.  I used stickers from the This & That, Mini Icons and shaped Sprinkles to embellish.

My final page is another calendar print out.  I decorated one of the album's pocket dividers to hold the calendar using Lots of Love papers, a Chit Chat and some Love Hug Bugs Doodle-pops! The Hello cut is from Hello Fall Doodle Cuts.  On the calendar, I used some Icon Stickers, Bits & Pieces and the cute bear stamp from the Doodlebug/Simon Says Stamp Happy Mail Stamp set. 

I'm really enjoying documenting my everyday & special events in the 6x8 format!  I'll be back in a couple of weeks with more from my album and a complete run through to date! Thanks for stopping by to peek!
