OVER THE RAINBOW MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a really sweet scrapbook that I made with the colorful and, oh so happy ... Over the Rainbow Collection! I designed the mini album in a circle shape with a flower in the center and little cut-out petals, so ... lots of cute pattern papers could show through. What a fun project for spring!

I created this with my new white Acrylic Circle Petal Album, but you could replicate the album with white cardstock or chipboard. The center of the cover is solid so I added the Spring Garden print, the Gnome Sweet Gnome paper, and the scalloped sticker from the This & That sheet. How adorable is that little cloud?! 

On the back, you can really see the album's shape and the cutouts. I added the rainbow from the Odds & Ends, which fit perfectly in the circle. Then, I chose the Happy die cut from the Chit Chat and the Family sticker from the This & That.

Inside, I added white card stock pages. Since this first page shows through the front cover, I created another flower using circle punches for the petals, lots of pretty 6x6 prints, and white paper for the center photo mat.

Next, I covered the rest of the pages in 12x12 and 6x6 patterned papers. On the page above, I added the rainbow scallop border sticker (This & That), a rainbow die cut (Odds & Ends), and 2 sweet little clouds from the puffy stickers. They're so cute!

Then, I created a flippie with a 3x4 card from the 12x12 Ladybug Picnic print. I added the Memories sticker on the front and the fun 6x6 Sprinkles of Color paper inside. What a pretty spot for 2 of your favorite photos.

I love adding pockets to my albums, so I cut one of the circle pages in half to create this one. I added the scalloped border sticker to the top edge, the Memories and ladybug die cuts, and a few puffy hearts.

Inside the pocket, I tucked in a journaling card from the 12x12 Mini Mushrooms print and some adorable tags from the 12x12 Just For You paper. You could use the back side of these for journaling or extra photos.

Here's a close-up of another fun page. I added the fence die cut from the Odds & Ends, then layered some flower shape sprinkles on top. I love the hints of shine the enamel shapes add throughout the album.

I had so much fun making this sweet little scrapbook and I love the Over the Rainbow Collection! With its bright happy colors and super cute images ... this collection is sure to brighten your day. 

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

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 PART 4 WINTER WONDERLAND PAGES | with Traci

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I'm sharing the last five pages of my Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook. (If you missed my other posts about this album, be sure to check them out here, here, and here.) I created this project with a 6x8 inch Mini Album in swimming pool and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection.

This first layout has lots of fun goodies. I covered the page in the Snow Much Fun snowflake print and added a fold-out (seen on the left) using the Nightfall paper. The fold-out has a large photo mat on the front, one on the back, acetate snowflakes from the Odds & Ends, and few sparkling mini jewels.

On the right, I created a little pocket out of white card stock. I added the scalloped "snow much fun" sticker from the This & That sheet to the front and some 3x4 cards from the Cozy Cardigan paper inside. These can be used as photo mats or for journaling.

But wait, there's more! I also made the front of the pocket a flippie and added a second pocket inside! I tucked 2 little 3x3 inch square cards inside that are from Doodlebug's Cards and Envelopes collection.

I covered this page with the Nightfall print, added a photo mat, and decorated with cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat.

On this layout, I added the Sweater Weather paper as the base and created two mats using the Nightfall and Snowflowers prints. The cute bunny rabbit and pink tree die cuts are from the Odds & Ends.

This pistachio polka dot is 1 of the 4 colored cardstock pages that come in the album. I added the strip of flowered paper, a cute flippie I made with a 3x4 card, and a photo mat. Then, I decorated with a few Odds & Ends die cuts and the "family" sticker from the This & That.

On the backside of that page, I added white cardstock, 2 photo mats made from the Just Chillin' stripe print, some die cuts, and the "Hurray for snow" sticker from the This & That.

I hope these layouts give you some fun winter themed ideas and you're inspired to create your own scrapbook with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Until next time, happy scrappin'! 😊

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 - WINTER WONDERLAND ALBUM COVER | with Traci

Happy New Year! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun winter scrapbook idea using one of the brand new 6x8 Mini Albums. When the design team was asked to create a project with them, I was thrilled. I'm a mini album girl and use these binder albums all the time. They are fabulous and come in 14 beautiful colors!

Today, I'm explaining how I designed this album's cover. Then, in future posts I'll be sharing the pages inside.

For my album, I chose the swimming pool binder. It's one of my favorite colors. Then, I decorated it with the adorable Winter Wonderland Collection making it the perfect keepsake for your snow-filled memories.

To start, I covered the white section of the front with the 12x12 Just Chillin' pattern paper. I love all of the cute little snowmen.

I wanted to create a winter scene so I cut a snow hill out of lily white card stock and adhered that on top.

Next, I chose some adorable die cuts from the Odds & Ends to decorate. I tucked the cabin and 3 different tree pieces in behind the snow. Then I adhered the snowman, the reindeer, and the tree on top. I also added the word bubble die cut from the Chit Chat.

I had the perfect white ribbon with aqua dots so I tied that around the front cover and into a big bow.

On the album's spine, there's a bookplate that's perfect for reference. I added a small piece of the Just Chillin (stripe) paper inside. For an extra fun detail, I attached the Just Charming Clip and Key Chain from the Snow Much Fun Collection to it for the perfect finishing touch.

Look how cute! These 6x8 inch photo-safe Mini Albums are so much fun to create keepsakes with. Their quality is amazing and I love that they come in so many pretty colors that coordinate perfectly with ANY Doodlebug collection. I also appreciate their white covers making them super versatile. 

Remember, my next posts will be of the inside pages where I share how I added embellishments, photo mats, and fun interactive elements. Be sure to check Doodlebug's blog daily for lots of mini album inspiration!

TINSEL TIME EXPLOSION BOX | with Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I have a really fun project for you that uses the fabulous Tinsel Time Collection and a brand new explosion box by Scrapbook.com. It has so many fun layered pages, pockets, and cute Doodlebug surprises inside. It would make a great Christmas gift idea!

The box measures 5x5 inches and comes already made so all you have to do is decorate it. I started by covering the bottom half of the box in the pretty 12x12 paper called Festive Floral.  

On the lid, I added the red polka dot print (Berry Merry) and the white star paper (Tree Trimmings). I used a 3" scalloped circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch to create a mat, then added the Merry Christmas Doodle-pops.

When the lid is lifted, the box's layers unfold to reveal ...

... all of these wonderful pages filled with cute papers, die cuts, and Doodle-pops. Because I can be a Doodle-pops hoarder, I'm super proud of myself for using so many here. Look how fabulous they all are!

In between each set of pages is a heart shape that connects one section to the next. These fold in half and tuck neatly inside when you close the box. Doesn't the red Berry Merry paper highlight the heart perfectly?

In the center, I added a wreath die cut from the Odds & Ends. I love the beautiful details on this, and ... its shape mimics the scalloped mats on the pages around it. I love glitter dots so I added a few for sparkle.

Each of the 4 sections has 3 built-in pocket pages. Above, I added the adorable So Endeering Doodle-pops to the front page. She's so cute with her little pink collar.

Here are some decorating ideas for the inside pages ...

I covered each one in a pretty 12x12 print and created different shaped mats for interest. I love the way Doodlebug's papers always match and work perfectly together. Mixing them is easy and always looks great.

All the circular mats were created with the same 3" and 2.5" punches that I used for the lid. The square mats are the same size but I cut them out. Oh! And do you see the Jolly St. Nick Doodle-pops above? So cute.

Here, you can also spot the Christmas Cottage and the Christmas Candy Doodle-pops. ... Dear Santa, I want a pink house just like that one, please.

I had so much fun decorating this little explosion box. The Tinsel Time Collection makes every project fun and so, so cute!! I hope today's project inspires you to create something wonderful. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
