FARMHOUSE BARN SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

I love shaped mini albums. I've made them for years with my Cricut. One of my favorite projects was my barn album using Doodlebug On the Farm. But I made it years ago and it was probably the second album I'd done that was my own design that wasn't ring bound. I've learned a lot since then. So when I saw the adorable barn in the Odds and Ends for the Farmhouse collection I knew it was time for an upgraded version.

The Doodlebug SVG files available in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop are always amazing and this little Farmhouse -Barn SVG was no exception. I cut the base from chipboard using my Cricut Maker and the barn elements from the Farmhouse Coordinating Cardstock. I decorated with the Odds and Ends. And why yes, there is a goat on the roof (A very goat thing to do!)

Inside I've added some frameless shakers to make sure I got to use the new Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers shaker mixes.



I made a couple of simple layout pages and used Doodle-Pops and Bits and Pieces to decorate.


There are lots of flaps and pockets and places for pictures. I also make sure to cut apart the cute large tag paper and add some seam binding for some journaling and picture spots.

And the BEST part is there is a full, FREE tutorial on my YouTube channel! I walk you through how to make the album base in Design Space and all the construction.

FARMHOUSE TRUCK SHAPED ALBUM | with Traci

Hi everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new shaped mini album that I made with the fabulous Farmhouse Collection and a Doodlebug SVG file. This one is a super cute pick-up truck that's filled with pumpkins, leaves, and a few adorable little critters. What a fun keepsake (or gift idea) for fall photos!


To make this, I chose the SVG file titled Truck - On the Farm (link below). I cut the base out of white acrylic, but you could easily create this with cardstock or chipboard instead. I used the solid cardstock in pistachio, petite print dot & stripe in pistachio, and the petite prints buffalo check / woodgrain in kraft for the main truck pieces.

Ohhh, so much cuteness piled in the back of this pick-up! First, I added solid cardstock in lemon for the hay, then the large die cut of 3 pumpkins from the Bits & Pieces. The mice, smaller leaves, and tiny flowers are icon stickers. And, the individual pumpkins and bees are from the mini icon stickers. 


I added the turkey icon sticker to the front seat. Not only does he add great color, but he's also a wonderful symbol for autumn and Thanksgiving!

I printed our name and date, then added a few small enamel dots from the Fall Flurry shape sprinkles. I needed a door handle so I created one with the exclamation mark from the Puffy Alphabet Soup stickers.

Inside, I've covered each of the white cardstock pages with cute pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad. I love these smaller prints! I also added some fun flippies that I made with cards from the 12x12 Country Quilt print. Such a great way to add extra photos to a layout.


A fold-out page is another way to add extra space to a mini album. Above, I added a folding section with the Home Sweet Home card, and inside ... a journaling card from the Woodland Berries print.

What a pretty pocket! The leaves and flowers on the front are one long die cut from the Bits & Pieces. I added more inside the pocket for journaling and some cards that can be used as photo mats for extra pictures.

I love the cornucopia icon sticker on the page above. It may be small in size but it's super colorful and filled with shapes and patterns.

Aren't the autumn / fall colors in this collection beautiful? The Fall die cut is from the Chit Chat, the leaves are from the Odds & Ends, and the pretty tree pattern is called Autumn Orchard. Love, love, love.


I hope my Fall Truck Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something wonderful with the cute Farmhouse Collection and Doodlebug's cutting files. You can use both for so many autumn projects. Have fun crafting!

HEY PUMPKIN HOUSE SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

One of my favorite types of projects to make is shaped mini albums. Doodlebug SVG files make it so easy to make fun, one of a kind projects!

Today I have a shaped pocket folio using the Hey Pumpkin collection and the Halloween Candy House SVG file, available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  The front is decorated with Puffy Icons and a couple of Icon stickers. I also used some of the Halloween Night Shape Sprinkles

I modified the file a little and then cut it from chipboard. I split the front porch into a separate piece to make this a tri-fold folio.

Inside I have a 4x6 tri fold flap on the left side. I matted the inside with white cardstock for photo mats and some of the Mini Icon stickers.


In the middle is an accordion pocket with three sections. This will hold plain 4x6 photos or matted 4x6 photos.

For my accordion pocket I made inserts that will all hold 4x6 photos. I added white photo mats and mini icon stickers to these as well.

HEY PUMPKIN GUMBALL MACHINE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey crafty friends! Traci here and today I have a super "sweet" project to share with you. I created a gumball machine shaped mini album with the adorable new Hey Pumpkin Collection. With a fun shaker on the cover, this little scrapbook is filled with bright colors, a festive Halloween theme, and lots of Doodlebug cuteness!

Gumball Machine Halloween Scrapbook Album by Artsy Albums

Cutting files are often a great source of inspiration for me. For this project, I used one from the Hey Pumpkin Collection called Gumball Machine. I cut the base for the front and back covers out of bubblegum and cupcake pink card stock and the pages out of lily white.

How cute is this shaker?! The colorful Sweet Treats candy pieces are so fun bouncing around inside. I also added the "sweet" from the Spooky Sweet Doodle-pops, die cuts from the Odds & Ends, and Trick or Treats enamel shaped sprinkles. Love!  Note: At the bottom of the page, I've added a few instructions on how to create the shaker.

Inside, there are 6 white scrapbook pages that I covered in 12x12 pattern papers. I used the Plaid It's Halloween print above. Aren't those colors fab-boo-lous!?!

I made a scalloped circle photo mat for each page using a 3.5" scalloped punch, a 3" circle punch, and paper from the 6x6 inch paper pad. The smaller print sizes are perfect for these.

Then, I decorated the album with pieces from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, and stickers from the This & That. Oh my gosh, every single embellishment is cuter than the next. The little black cat tucked in the flowers is precious and on the next page, the dessert stand is filled with treats that look too cute to eat!

These are my favorite pages. I love the Halloween Haul print filled with brightly colored candies. I used the 12x12 paper on the left and the 6x6 for the photo mat on the right. The mix of pattern sizes and adorable die cuts go perfectly together!

Since I used the globe part of the gumball machine for my round photo mats, the lower "stand" section makes a great spot for fun embellishments or journaling.

Look at the cute pink car! Maybe it's a Volkswagen Bug? It probably belongs to the bright pink house on the next page, lol!

Ok, time for some simple directions ...

I made the cover a shaker by creating a frame out of the inner globe piece. I duplicated it, highlighted the shape, and made an internal offset to create another line inside.

Next, I highlighted both shapes, right clicked, and chose "Make Compound Path" to delete the inner shape and leave the frame portion. And finally, I backed the frame with clear acetate and adhered it to the original background shape with foam tape.

And there ya have it! I hope my Gumball Machine Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something spooktacular with the Hey Pumpkin Collection and it's boo-tiful cutting files! Have a great day 😊

FARMERS MARKET FALL MEMORIES BASKET MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey there friends! Today I have a bright and cheerful basket shaped mini album for you titled Fall Memories. I designed it with the colorful Farmers Market Collection and it makes the perfect little keepsake for saving photos of autumn, family, friends, a vacation, or Thanksgiving! 


I created this with my white Acrylic Basket Shaped Album, but you could easily use white cardstock or chipboard instead. On the cover, I filled my basket with lots of beautiful flower die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. Then, I added the "Fall" title from the Chit Chat and the cute smiling pumpkins from the Odds & Ends. 

If you look closely, you'll see a few adorable little bees from the Beehive Shaker-pops and lots of enamel shape sprinkles. My favorites! There are flowers and leaves from the Fall Flowers sprinkles and some enamel dots from the Fall Assortment. Love those red berries!


Inside, I added matching die cuts from the Bits & Pieces to the backside of those on the front cover. There are so many pretty flower and leaf shapes to choose from in the package. 


Above, I created a fold-out page, then added a cute flippie to the front made with a journaling card from the 12x12 Fall Floral paper. These lined cards are great for adding dates, events, locations, names, or notes to your albums.


Since fall is a time when people gather together and enjoy a good meal, I added some of the 4x6 inch recipe cards to my mini. They are so cute and the perfect size. The package includes 36 double sided cards that come in six different colorful designs.

Check out this cute pocket I created with the beautiful Farm Fresh gingham paper. I tucked a lined card and a 4x4 card from the Veggie Stick paper inside. You can use these for journaling or as photo mats.

Doodlebug has so many adorable images for fall. Above, I added the veggie stand die cut but there are also lots of autumn leaves, trees, pumpkins, flowers, veggies, dogs, cats, bees, ladybugs, and so much more!

The Farmers Market Collection is so fun and sure to put a smile on your face ... just like the cute vegetables above! I love the fall patterns and pretty colors and hope my basket shaped mini album inspires you.

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the acrylic album & instructions are available in my shop. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day!

SEASIDE SUMMER LIGHTHOUSE MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing a really cute lighthouse shaped mini album. Its coastal theme is perfect for saving summer photos of the beach, boating, or an amazing lighthouse. I created this unique scrapbook with the adorable Seaside Summer Collection and the Lighthouse 2 cutting file.

Lighthouse Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album for summer, beach, and boating photos

What a cute shape! I sized the file to approx. 3.25" x 10" and cut the front and back covers out of white acrylic. But, you could easily use white cardstock instead. The details on this are awesome ... the domed cupola, the catwalk, and the "rope" railing at the bottom. So fun!

To decorate the cover .. I chose the blue 12x12 Surf's Up print for the main tower section, then filled in the smaller spaces with a few colorful prints from the 6x6 paper pad.

To make the lantern sparkle, I added a few mini jewels in bumblebee. The pretty scalloped border with the flowers and the rainbow heart are both stickers from the This & That sheet.

The icons stickers were the perfect size for this mini album so, I added the cute little seagull to the railing. The word bubble is from the Chit Chat.

On the inside of the front cover, I added an adorable beach house icon sticker, a 2x3 card from the 6x6 paper pad, and a few more Chit Chat pieces. Next, I cut 6 pages out of white cardstock and covered each one in 12x12 pattern papers.

I made photo mats for each page using the smaller 6x6 prints. And above, I included the adorable summer memories journaling card. It's also from the 6x6 paper pad.


Check out all of the happy colors, cute stickers, and playful prints. They're perfect for summer!

Here, I used the 2x2 cards from the 6x6 paper pad to create 2 small flippies. These are so cute and super practical. Now I can fit 4 photos on this page instead of just 2!
