6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP DECEMBER MINI | with Nathalie

Hi there! As we are reviewing our past weeks using the beautiful Doodlebug 6x8 albums, I have to say that I have been loving, and jotting down ideas for my own memory keeping. I love the possibilities the album offers (probably cause I love documenting in smaller formats), especially when it came to getting my December 2023 memories into the album.

I decided to keep the cover of my Cupcake album simple and not bulky so that it sits nicely on my shelf and also reflects the contents of the album. I am using Tinsel Time to bring color and fun to my memories in the album.

I always love having a title page for my albums, this time I am using the Shadow Box kit from Tinsel Time. I created a circle from one of the binder pages, and then used the template to place all the pieces, followed by the large title. I love how it turned out!

One of my favorite things about the new Doodlebug albums are the interactive pages added in them. I took advantage of one of the pockets to add multiple pictures and journaling.

Pocket pages are a great and easy way to document your memories. So, I am mixing them with handmade inserts/pages. In this case, I am adding a piece of transparency as a title page for my spread, while adding a bit more impact to my album.

I took advantage of the back of the transparency to bring the next memories together. Interactive elements are always fun to add to your albums since you have the option to have spreads outside of the pocket page. So adding flips and pockets is a fun way to keep the album fun and interesting!

One of my favorite things about 6x8 albums is that you are able to scrapbook in a smaller version. You can have all your embellishments, and patterned papers in a smaller size with multiple and also large pictures.

I just loved working with this smaller format, and I hope you are enjoying all the beautiful ideas shared. I cannot wait to continue working in my little albums ( I might have added a few more to my collection!). Be sure to check the albums, you are going to love them! XO

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 BUNNY HOP ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends, I want to take a moment to recap this enjoyable project I've been working on for weeks. Before we dive in, I want to share a few new pages! I used two collections throughout the album: Bunny Hop and Hello Again. I love how well these collections complement each other, as this album captures Easter memories and a birthday in the same month.

I created a fun pocket on the front to add some interest to the white background. I used 6 1/8" x 8 1/2" paper from the Bunny Hop collection for the front, and for the pockets, I used the same paper but cut to 7" x 3 1/2". Additionally, I included some light pink cardstock from the coordinating collection. I scored the pockets at 1/2" on three sides, adhered the bottom pocket 1 1/2" to the top pocket, and placed both pockets on my inside cover. These pockets were designed to hold some fun little tags I created earlier, along with her birthday and Easter cards.

I really love adding texture to my pages with paper. I used paper 8461 from Bunny Hop, which features stripes for this one. I cut each stripe to 6 inches and stitched it down the middle using my sewing machine. Then, I lifted the top and bottom of the strips to create layers and texture, leaving the thread a little longer at the ends.

Next, I continued with the same paper on the other side and placed a white mat, stitching all around it with my sewing machine. I added Easter eggs and a doodle pop and used the eggs as part of the title.

Regarding the tag, it opens from right to left. I used light pink paper from the coordinating cardstock, measuring 8" x 7", and scored it at 4" along the longer side. Then, I matted it on a beautiful floral paper and included a shaker tag that I had previously made, featuring the title "Easter.

Here’s the recap with photos : we enjoyed playing with doodle cuts, sprinkles, tags, and much more!

Like always, we can't wait to see your projects created using the new 6" X 8" albums!! Xo, Conny
