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 - 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 - XOXO ALBUM | with Tarrah

Have you seen the new gorgeous 6" x 8" albums? They are sooo beautiful and come in 14 different colors. I was lucky enough to pick the color I wanted to work with and if you know me, I absolutely love PINK, so I chose the Bubblegum album and today I am sharing how I decorated the front cover.

I decided on a love theme for my album, to celebrate and document photos of myself with my amazing and fairly new partner for life! First up I raided my ribbon and trim stash and pulled out the perfect white heart ribbon which I adhered to the left side overlapping the pink spine. I then added puffy hearts in the open spaces of the ribbon. I used red and 2 different pink puffy hearts.

I trimmed a strip from the Lots of Love Hugs and Kisses paper and adhered that flush to the spine of the album. I then took the Ladybug Chunky Twine and tied it around the album, I added a Little Charmer from the Happy Healing collection and also a Bits and Pieces die-cut from the Lots of Love collection. I also added a cardstock sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

For the metal plate, I added a tag piece from the 6' x 6' paper pad and also added a puffy heart to the left to cover the circle of the tag. I wanted to keep the cover in the colors of pink, red and white as I feel it really pops!

Back to the top of the album, I took the XOXO title from the Chit Chat die-cut pack and adhered it to the centre of the front cover using foam tape. I then took the bear holding the balloons die-cut from the Odds and Ends pack and adhered it covering the first blue 'O' of the XOXO. I added some more little Chit Chat pieces and I took some of the larger hearts from the Bits and Pieces pack and adhered those to the front cover too.

Stay tuned for future posts where I will be sharing how I have added some memories and decorated the inside of the album! I love how my cover turned out, make sure you get your hands on some of these gorgeous albums, remember there are 14 colors!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy creating!

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

Happy New Year! This year I decided to set some goals for myself, rather than vague resolutions.  One of those goals is to get back into documenting memories.  Over the last few years I've moved away from traditional scrapbooking, instead creating more cards and papercrafts.  The new 6x8 mini albums are the perfect medium to jump back into scrapbooking!

I chose the gray 6x8 mini album for my 2025 book.  I like the gray it coordinates with so many collections, it makes a great base color.

I wanted a clean cover for my album.  I started with a 6 1/8" x 8 5/8" piece of Mint Candy Stripe Sprinkles Petite Prints.  I layered over that piece a 5 7/8"x 8 3/8" piece of the Cute & Crafty Bright Ideas lined paper.  I stitched the layers together using my sewing machine and some gray thread.

I found a big chunky font (Impact) and cut numbers 2025 using my Silhouette. I sized them to take up most of the space on the lined paper.  I chose some of my favorite patterns from several collections for my numbers including Pretty Kitty Dear to My Heart (pink hearts), Special Delivery Cuddly Cubs (Yellow), Bundle of Joy Baby Blooms (green check) and some more Mint Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints.  I offset each number with some gray Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints to make them stand out a bit. I then added the numbers, overlapping slightly onto the background piece.  I zig-zag stitched randomly around the numbers and added some coordinating sprinkles for shine and dimension.  Here are some close-ups...

I then went searching through my Doodle Pop Collection to find the perfect embellishment.  When I found the Just My Type Doodle Pop from the Hello Collection, I knew I had found it!  I added it to the center of my numbers and then added a little shaped sprinkle heart from the Rainbow Hearts shaped sprinkles.  I love the touch of shine this Doodle Pop adds!

To add some interest to the left side of the cover, I wrapped some Chunky Twine in Mint around the cover.  I held it in place with some double sided tape.  I tied a bow using both mint and gray Chunky twine and glued it to wrapped twine.  To complete it I added the Cute Camera Little Charmer. I love then new clasps on the little charmers, it makes adding them so easy!

I added the 2025 to the bookplate using some Mint Alphabet Soup Stickers along with a couple more rainbow heart sprinkles.

I'm excited to start documenting my year!  I'll be back next time to show how I decorated some of the dividers that come with the album and some pocket pages!  Thank you for stopping by to peek!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - OUR HAPPY FAMILY ALBUM | with Brianna

Have you seen our new 6"x8" albums?  These petite albums are available in 14 colors and each album has 5 chipboard tab dividers, 4 colored inserts, 4 pocket pages,  and 10 assorted page protectors!  To kick off the new year, we challenged our Design team to each create a mini album using these fun new books.  Every couple of weeks, you'll see inspiration and new designs as each designer builds their album! Some of the books will be centered around a certain theme, some around everyday memory keeping!  All albums will be full of fun ideas and inspiration for you! We are kicking off our 6"x8" album inspiration with Brianna!

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I couldn't wait to share the cover of my 6x8 album with y'all today! I'm so excited that I will be able to share this album with y'all in steps. There's a lot of love going into creating this album, so it will be nice to highlight the process as well as the pages with you all. So for today, here's the cover. Make sure to stay tuned for my next post where I'll be sharing a few completed pages!

I was so lucky to be able to choose the album color I wanted to work with and I selected Mint. If you know me, I love mint and this album is gorgeous! First, I decided to add a large bow on the left side of it using some wide white ribbon with gold on the edges. It couldn't have been more perfect for my cover. I purchased it at Target over the Christmas season a few years ago. I did feel like it needed a little something extra, so I added a couple of adorable Little Charmers to it! I chose the Mini Maple and Country Pumpkin charms and tied them to a piece of thread. I then simply tied the thread to my ribbon and I love the cuteness factor that it adds to my bow!

Next, I worked on my embellishment cluster that I wanted to add in bottom right corner. I wanted somewhat of a base for all of my embellishments to kind of sit on, so I pulled out a few circle punches and punched out circles from papers in the 6x6 Paper Pad. I added some faux stitching using a black gel pen around the edges and then adhered them down. I love how the faux stitching turned out. It gave them a nice finished, cohesive look.

I then pulled a few die cuts from the Odds and Ends pack as well as the Bits & Pieces pack and created a cute little scene. I even added a few of the Mini Icons stickers since they were the perfect size to add right on top of the house piece. So adorable!!

For the title of my album, I selected the 'Our Happy Family' banner from the Chit Chat pack since I plan on filling this album with a bunch of photos of my family. The black stitching around the banner matched my stitching on the circles and I love how it all went together! Lastly, I added a few floral Puffy Icons stickers and that was it! I love how my cover turned out, here's one last look:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Do you enjoy making album covers? I do!! I can't wait to show you a few pages from the inside of this album! See you next time friends!

MY HAPPY PLACE MONTHLY SCRAPBOOK PAGES | with Traci

Hi everyone!  I'm back to share my latest 8x8 pages for Rylee's album!  If you've been following me, you know I'm using an 8x8 Doodlebug Storybook album to document fun moments from each month with my granddaughter.  For June, I used the My Happy Place collection...

To start, I used My Type alpha stickers and a cute pistachio dot pattern for the base.  I also created a pocket so that I could have more space for extra photos ... this is going to be a busy month for us!

I created a "flippie" using one of the cute 3x4 element cards.  I trimmed it down and matted it with a black and white stripe to give it a little pop.  And speaking of pop, how cute is that Home Tweet Home doodle-pops birdcage?!  

For my next page, I used a 4x4 pocket page protector.  These are fun!  It's like designing 4 little mini scrapbook pages :) 

I added a circle to one square with a 3.5" scallop circle punch.  The cute doodle-pops flowers (called flower garden) fit perfectly in the corner and added a little shine to the page.  See that darling little heart inside the blue flower?  That's from the Home Sweet Home shape sprinkles, and so are the adorable houses on the band below.  

One of my favorite color combos is black, lime green, and either dark pink or red, so the next page makes me very happy.  

Isn't that succulent paper fun?  It's one of my favorites from the collection!  And there are a few more of those cute sprinkle houses and the itty bitty hearts!

The circle above is from the Bits & Pieces, and "Happy Days" is from the This & That sticker sheet.

Rylee likes to ride her bike from her house to my house so this will be a perfect spot for that picture!  That little lamp post popped up on foam tape just kills me ... so cute!

Another sticker from the This & That sheet was perfect for a few more of those tiny hearts!

I hope my pages have inspired you to get crafty today!  If you want to see my other 8x8 monthly pages, I'll have them all linked over on my blog.  Have fun with My Happy Place!
