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

Hello Crafty Friends, I am so excited about the projects we have been sharing with you this week!  The design team has been working with the new 6" x 8" albums, this week focusing on the cover pages, using any collection that inspires us. I absolutely adore and chose the Bunny Hop Collection—it reminds me of spring, and those pastel colors are my favorite!

I'm always looking for fun ways to use the Shadow Box Insert Kits; they are so much fun to assemble. For the cover of this album, I used the Shadow Box Insert Kit from the Bunny Hop Collection. I started by layering the sprinkle stickers and cardstock stickers using the template. The template creates a circle layout.  I wanted to cover the entire front cover so to achieve this, I added gems, more enamel dots, and sprinkles to complete the corners.

Next, I worked with the Bunny Hop Collection's 12" x 12" double-sided paper in Springtime Stripe. I trimmed the paper to 6 1/4" x 8 1/2" and adhered the vellum design from the insert kit on top of it. Using my sewing machine, I added stitches around the embellishments to create a framed effect before attaching it to my 6" x 8" album with liquid glue.

On the left side of the album, I created a ribbon cluster using colors to match the collection. I also added the Bunny Hop Collection's Just Charming Clip and Key Chain. I used the "Hello" and "You Warm My Heart " sentiments from the chit-chat pieces to finish the album cover.

Be sure to come back to see the inside of my album in my next post! Happy crafting!

TINSEL TIME MINI TAG FOLIO | with Conny

Happy Holidays! Conny here, and I'm excited to share this mini album created with the Tinsel Time collection. For this project, I was inspired to use the tags from the gift-giving 12" x 12" paper, and I am really into folio mini albums right now. I cut out eight tags from the paper to include in this album. You can choose the tags that you like best for your flip tags.

Let's start with the base of the album. I cut three pieces of chipboard: two pieces measuring 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" for the covers and one piece measuring 1" x 8 1/2" for the spine. The pink textured cardstock comes from the 12" x 12" solid assortment paper pack and was cut to measure 12" x 10 1/8". I used my  book cover guide tool to center the chipboard pieces, leaving about 1/8" between the spine and the border around the chipboard, which was about 3/4". I applied double-sided tape and liquid glue to adhere the elements together.

To cover the chipboard inside, I used festive floral paper measuring 8 3/8" x 10 1/8". For the tags, to turn them into flip pages, I cut eight pieces of white cardstock, each measuring 4" x 4". Score one side at 2" and adhere your tags on top, making sure the paper is facing the right way for the tags to open correctly. I punched a hole at the top of each tag and added a ribbon. A few tags were embellished with odds and ends, enamel dots, and stickers from the collection.

The pages in the middle of the spine, measure 8" x 8 1/2". I scored on the longest side at 4" and 4 1/2". I then adhered the 1/2" sections to the spine one after the other. I embellished the pages using odds and ends, stickers, enamel dots, Doodle Pops, and more. The process for the base and pages can be found on my YouTube channel.

You can find a quick YouTube video here.  Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Happy crafting! XO

AT THE ZOO SAFARI MEMORIES | with Miguel

Documenting memories in a different and original way can be very fun and it allows us to explore our creativity!  Today, I packed a safari suitcase to document memories of a visit to Bioparque Estrella in Mexico.

I started with the beautiful At the zoo collection  as it is perfect for the safari or zoo theme.  I placed a photograph in the center of my cover as the main focus of my project and used odds & ends and shape sprinkles to decorate, I love the result!

Inside the box I have a series of photographs of that wonderful day.  I made a kind of collage of my beautiful photos and add more decorative details with Odds & Ends and This & That.

This suitcase has the capacity to store more memories in photographs individually in case we wish to do so later. 

Thank you for stopping by and reading, see you soon.

AT THE ZOO MINI BOOK | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends! Hey there! Conny here with an exciting new project. I created a 5x8 album using the At the Zoo Collection, perfect for capturing and preserving all your wonderful zoo memories. This collection and album are the perfect solution for those special photos from the zoo that you've been meaning to document.

Let's get started! I started by cutting my pieces as follows:  

Chipboard pieces - (2) 5x8 inches, (1) 8X 21/2 inches. 

Pages: one 4 x 12 - Score at 5 and 10 inches. If you want to add a semi-pocket, you can use this measurement. For single pages, use 7 1/4" x 10".

Please remember the following instructions for covering the chipboard covers and spine:

You will need a piece measuring 6 5/8" x 9 5/8" for the cover and a piece measuring 4 1/4" x 9 5/8" for the spine.

To bind the album together, I used a piece of cardstock that is 8 X 12 inches long. Additionally, for the back cover, I used an extra piece that is 1 1/2" x 8" as the previous piece won't be long enough to cover the chipboard inside.

To hold the pages inside the album, I used 8 standard eyelets – 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom – with elastic string.

.

At the spine, I tied a bow with a ribbon. To embellish the cover page, I used one of the 4x6 cut apart cards, Sprinkles and Odds & Ends.

I embellished the album using various Odds & Ends and Mini Icon Stickers, as well as some This & That cardstock stickers. I left spaces for my 4x6, 2x2, and 3x4 photos, and I added an extra pocket on the covers for small items.

Thank you so much for stopping by we cant wait to see what you create using the At the Zoo Collection.

AT THE ZOO MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I've created an acrylic tabbed mini album with a super cute jungle theme! I made it with the adorable At The Zoo Collection and it's perfect for highlighting photos of the zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, a safari, a birthday party, a petting zoo, baby photos, a baby shower, or a school field trip. This collection is great for so many pictures!

I designed this with my 5x7 inch clear Acrylic Tabbed Album, but you could easily make this out of white card stock or chipboard instead. On the cover, I added the zebra print called Zoo Animals, a scallop circle sticker from the This & That, and lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends. The panda might be my favorite!

On each of the tabs, I added lots of word stickers from the This & That. Then inside, I strategically layered photo mats and embellishments to match on both sides of the clear acrylic pages. That way, you never see the adhesive.

On this first page, I wanted to add a little punch of red so I made the photo mat out of the petite print wood grain in ladybug. Then, I embellished with a cute blue seal from the Odds & Ends, another word sticker from the This & That, and a shiny enamel shape sprinkle called Jungle Leaves. Oh, how I ❤️ sprinkles.

I also love mixing patterns from the 12x12 and 6x6 paper pad. The page above is a great example. The small journaling card and the tiny Zippity-Zoo Dots are from the 6x6 prints. On the page behind it, I added the larger 12x12 dot paper. And ... the cute toucan bird die cut just matches it all perfectly!

This collection is so fun to play with and it's filled with sweet faced little animals. Just look at the Zoo Friends print in the photo above and you'll get a quick glimpse at the whole adorable crew!

Who loves a good zebra print besides me? The bold black and white pattern is awesome and it looks great with a touch of pink and green. So, I added the fun little flamingo and a few more enamel leaves.

I haven't made a zoo or jungle themed mini album in years, so this was so much fun for me. The At The Zoo Collection is amazing and I hope my scrapook inspires you to create something new as well. Happy crafting!

FUN AT THE PARK 6x3 MINI ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty crew! How has July gone so fast!? Welcome to August, yay! Let's get into my new project, a super sweet Fun at the Park 6x3" mini album that doubles as a passport for all your bullet documentation and ticket saving, bonus! And speaking of bonus - you guessed it, a fun video flip through once you've finished reading through my post today at the end, yippee! So grab a snack and beverage and let's get into the fun :-)

How fun are the epoxy stickers as charms! I've dusted the back with glitter dust to take off the sticky back and dangled them from a red charm chain which mimics the chain ropes in the ride lines! Clever and creative I think! And how perfect is the castle doodle pop on the cover! A few glitter Sprinkles here and there add that extra touch.

Main paper: fun at the park:  The first page opens right up, so you can adhere stickers, photos and hidden journaling! And how cute is the popcorn bucket and fly away pieces. Mmm, popcorn. One of my fave snacks - especially butter cheese!

Main paper: movie stars - Another tuck-in page on the left and I've layered vellum on the right which means you can add photo behind it and journaling on top! Yes!

Main paper: tea-rific time - How interactive and fun is this page spread! A sweet cluster of sweet treats on the left and a savory feast on the right! They both have tuck areas for your tags with space of your notes. Joy!

Main paper: magical show - I adore this bright and fun yellow star paper. It looks perfect contrasting on the firework side. And another folded area to tuck in your ticket stubs or food receipts.

Main page: say cheese  Oh, I heart this page! I've added this so you can add your autographs! Or mini notations! How fun right! I love this idea. It's a think outside the square idea ;-)

Main page: you are here - This page spread is an adventure map! Isn't it super fun-tastic! The left side opens up so you can see more map and the vellum page means more area to journal or add mini photos and such!

Main page: mini dot - The last page here has a blank space that lifts so you can add anything you like here! I love the thought of having a photo of your trip luggage or packed bag. So many fun ideas.

Look how cute those word stickers from the This & That sticker sheet look as tabs! If you've seen my other mini albums I love using them this way as they are the perfect size :-)

Thank you crafty crew for cruising by today! I hope I gave you a crafty hit of inspiration! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle dee!

BONUS: video flip through as promised!

HOMETOWN USA FRAMELESS SHAKER ALBUM | with Jen

I absolutely adore the Doodlebug Shadowbox Insert Kits. I have a bunch framed and hanging in my craft room. Every time a new one comes out I think "I want to put that on a mini album cover" or "I want to use that in a shaker." That time has come!

Today I have a super packed mini album for you! A couple of years ago I designed a frameless shaker method and I used it to enclose the Hometown USA Shadowbox Insert. I filled my large shaker with silver Shaker Balls and the Land That I Love Shaker mix. The album overall is 9" x 9" with a 2" spine. There are four pages with interactive elements.

I used the Festive Fireworks Heavy Acetate throughout the book for pockets and a belly band. It's just the most fun patterned acetate yet!

Each page has a large 7" x 9" insert. I used the acetate fireworks from the Bits and Pieces as pulls on the top of each. There are lots of layout pages and pockets for all sorts of pictures and things.

In the center I did some scene building using all the cute elements from the Odds and Ends and Mini Icons. Lots of the Mini Icons are perfectly sized to accent the larger Odds and Ends pieces.

I used both of the new Doodle Cuts sets to accent the book. I used the Pocket Full o' Pride Doodle Cut set to add little pockets to some inserts. I used the Festive Floral Doodle Cut set to add a little shaker to the first page in the album.

Video walkthrough and full, FREE tutorial can be found here on my YouTube channel.  Have a great day!
