6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 BUNNY HOP ALBUM | with Conny

Hello, Crafty Friend! It’s Conny here, excited to share more of my journey with this stunning 6 x 8 album. I've lovingly explored every nook of it, beginning from the delightful exterior and delving into the enchanting pages within, showcasing the vibrant colorful of both the Hello Again and Bunny Hop collections. Each page springs to life with color and creativity, transforming my mini album into a tapestry of memories. I’ve truly relished watching my talented teammates at Doodlebug infuse their own distinct flair into this project, each contribution adding to the album’s charm and vibrancy. It's been a delightful experience!



For these pages, I worked with two cut files that I obtained from the Silhouette Design Store. I started with a 6" x 8" pocket and aimed to create an interactive page using the Cute Calico paper from the  Hello Again Collection.  I cut it to 8 ¼" x 10" and scored it at 6 ¼".

For the letter "B," featuring the Easter Bunny cut with white cardstock, I used ink and a brush to blend colors that matched the collection. I embellished this page with Bunny Hop Chit Chat words, Hello Again Shape Sprinkles and puffy stickers to complete the flip page.


I created a cut-and-fold Easter Bunny background by cutting it out with my Cricut machine at 6" x 8" and I placed it on top of the floral Green Thumb paper from the Hello Again Collection. With the background paper attached, I flipped the bunnies upwards to achieve a peekaboo effect.

Have a great day & Happy Valentine's Day! Xo, Conny

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - MORE PAGES - WINTER WONDERLAND MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Hi Everyone!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm back today with some new pages I created for my 6x8 Winter Wonderland Mini Album.  If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my previous pages here and here The last fun elements included in the Doodlebug 6x8 albums are heavy cardstock inserts that match the album color and pocket inserts. The pocket inserts come in a traditional pocket style and a side loading pocket style.


The heavy cardstock inserts are perfect for small layouts. I've added photo mats and Snow Much Fun Chit Chat or This and That Stickers. Because they coordinate with the albums they also coordinate with any Doodlebug paper collection.


I used two of the cardstock inserts to mat the front and back inside cover or my album. By simply trimming off the binder holes on the side they fit perfectly as mats that can then be decorated. I used Chit Chat and Odds and Ends on mine.


For the pocket inserts the journaling cut-aparts fit perfectly on the side loading pockets. I've turned one of them upside down so my pocket is on the opposite side. The back sides of all the pockets are all perfect for a small layout.


For the traditional pocket inserts I've matted these with petite prints and the 12x12 collection. The pockets are big and will hold lots of photo mats.


I have a process video and walkthrough of the completed album here.

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 - DECEMBER ALBUM PART 4 | with Erica

Hello, crafty friends! Erica here, back with another 6x8 mini album spread featuring the oh-so-adorable Tinsel Time collection from Doodlebug Design! This spread is all about interactive elements, bright colors, and festive charm, everything I love about Doodlebug Design! If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my pages posts here and here.

For this layout, I incorporated the Love Notes Doodle Cut, which includes the cutest mini envelope dies. I used the 6x6 Tinsel Time paper pad to die-cut six mini envelopes, three across the top and three across the bottom—to create a playful grid design. In the center, I placed a large title die cut, drawing the eye to the middle of the spread.

To make the envelopes functional, I stuffed them with photo mats, die cuts, and cut-aparts, perfect for adding photos that can be pulled out, as well as hidden journaling on tags and cut-aparts. These little details make this spread not only visually fun but also interactive and full of surprises!

For the next page, I used a Holly, Jolly, Merry, and Happy cut file, cutting it from white cardstock to fill the entire base of the page. I then backed the cut file with patterned paper, bringing in all the signature Doodlebug color and charm. To finish it off, I embellished around the title with stickers, die cuts, and adorable puffy stickers, adding layers and dimension.

This spread is bright, playful, and filled with holiday cheer, and I cannot wait to add my photos and memories! I love how the interactive elements make it even more special, and I hope it inspires you to try something similar in your own mini albums.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon to share more pages from this fun holiday album, so stay tuned!

Happy crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 OUR HAPPY FAMILY | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here and I'm back today sharing more of my 6x8 Family Mini Album. If you missed my first 2 posts, you can see my cover post here and my pages here and here.I'm really enjoying this series and it's been a lot of fun working on a smaller scale. Here's what I've been working on so far:


For this spread, I decided to do one of the 3x4 pocket page inserts and then a full 6x8 pocket page insert on the other side. We took Annie to The Gentle Barn out in Santa Clarita and we got to pet a lot of farm animals. This was the perfect event to document since I'm using the Farmhouse collection for this album! There are so many adorable embellishments that matched our photos.

For this spread I used a few 12x12 patterned papers to create the base cards and embellished on top of them using some Puffy Stickers. On one of the cards, I added the Barn In The USA Doodle-Pop and it looks so cute!! For the bottom right card, I trimmed it from the 12x12 Woodland Berries paper and added some journaling right onto it. I also pulled in the small heart from the coordinating stamp set and stamped it a few times directly on my photos. I love stamping directly on my photos. Annie LOVED the big cows! The one she was waving to is named Madonna. She was the sweetest!

Here's the 6x8 spread on the other side. I took the Kraft colored cardstock from the Coordinating Cardstock pack and trimmed it to a banner shape and added some faux stitching around it. I backed my 4x4 photo using the 6x6 Paper Pad and embellished around it using some of the larger Odds & Ends pieces. It was such a beautiful day at the farm!

Here's an overview of the next two pages. One is the backside of the 6x8 page we just looked at and the other one is another pocket page insert. This color palette makes me so happy and it's a lot of fun documenting a few day to day memories.

For this 6x8 page, it was a very simple one that came together pretty quickly. I matted my photo using the 6x6 Paper Pad again and layered one of the cards I had trimmed out from that same Woodland Berries 12x12 paper. I embellished using a few of the florals from the Bits & Pieces pack and then adhered some of the Fall Assortment Sprinkles in a few places.

Here's the other spread. I used more 12x12 papers to create the base for each of the inserts and then embellished using some of the 12x12 Icons Stickers and then added in some of the Flower Farm Shape Sprinkles. I love when all of my kids are with us. We have so much fun together and we can't wait for our oldest to come back on another break from college soon!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends! I'll be sharing a bit more of this super cute album and I hope that you've enjoyed seeing it come together over these last few weeks.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - XOXO ALBUM PART 3 | with Tarrah

Hi everyone! I'm back with more pages from the inside of my 'Love' themed Bubblegum 6" x 8" album. I decorated 4 pages and decided to add some cut files together with the Lots of Love collection - one of my favorite combinations! If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here and my first pages here.


The left hand side is a full 6" x 8" pocket, I added a jar cut file and backed the hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I adhered it to the pink cardstock inside the pocket. I added the jar die-cut to the bottom right corner and took some titles from the Lots of Love Chit Chat pack and placed at the top of the jar. I also placed a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet under the title.


On the right hand side, I used one of the chipboard dividers and created a large photo mat and after placing my photo, added some die-cuts at the bottom and a phrase banner die-cut at the top. On the tab on the divider I added a tab sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.


My next spread consists of more pocket pages and the back of a plain white pocket page and I decided to make this spread a 'Sweet' theme! On the left, I added another cut file, backing the letters and hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I then added some die-cuts that were sweet themed.


I also added the phrase banner die-cut to the centre and some die-cut hearts all using craft foam to add some dimension. I love how the colors pop against the white of the cardstock.


On the right hand side, still keeping with the 'Sweet' theme, I used a 4x pocket page with the sizes of each pockets measuring approximately 3" x 4". I love that you can add photos and papers or mix it up and add both like I did! I added some cute die-cuts right over the top of my photo as well.


Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check back here on the Doodlebug blog to see more of the insides of the creative team's albums! I hope you get the chance to document your memories in one of the gorgeous Doodlebug 6" x 8" albums! Happy creating!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 3 LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! I can smell the chocolate and candies from here as we lead up to one of my favorite days to celebrate; Valentines! I am so happy to show you my next set of pages in my Doodlebug Design Cupcake 6x8 mini album! Let's jump into each page and if you'd like to see it move and turn, check out my fun video at the end of the post :-)  If you missed my previous posts you can see my cover here and first pages here.


The so happy page is directly behind the last page I showed, it's the chipboard divider and is perfectly placed! That cupcake doily is super sweet and the adjoining pocket page was fun to fill! The papers I've used here are Love You Bunches! Those single flowers are so cute! The Happy Valentine's Day banner has my heart! Darling!



Next spread over is the back of the pocket page and then the envelope from the coordinating Cards & Envelope pack! It's perfect for hidden journaling or photos of your love! I love pulling the cutest ephemera pieces out and going golden on the decorating. It's my fave part!



Next over is the back of the envelope with the large XOXO ephemera piece. You can slip a cropped photo here or some poetry. How charming! The Cloud Nine paper is next level adorable don't you think. Check out those poppin' Valentines Day balloons! I wish all balloons came with an adorable face.


Second to last page today is the card that goes inside the previous envelope! I've adhered it to the back of another chipboard divider and this card opens up for more hidden elements. It has a sweet tab inside to easily open up for more space. I love adding extra space and memory keeping areas. It holds a nice surprise when you look back on your albums.


There is one more page left but I've left it in my video below to see!


Thank you for popping by crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Until next time doodle dee!
