HEY PUMPKIN EEK! MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello, crafty friends! Happy Friday!   This is Conny from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a mini album I made with the adorable Hey Pumpkin collection. It’s perfect for documenting all those fun October and Halloween memories!

To get started, you’ll need three pieces of chipboard: Two pieces measuring 5 x 6 inches for the covers and one piece measuring 5 x 2 1/4 inches for the spine.

For the outside covers, I used the Hey Pumpkin paper, featuring the cute critters on a gray background. I cut one piece measuring 6 1/4 x 12 inches, leaving approximately 3/4 inch around the chipboard to wrap the edges. Since that wasn’t enough to cover everything, I added another piece measuring 6 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches, using the striped side of the same paper.

For the inside covers, I used Peek-a-boo paper. I cut one piece measuring 4 3/4 x 12 inches and another measuring 4 3/4 x 5 inches.  I used double-sided tape to adhere the papers and a miter tool to trim the corners for a neat finish, making sure the chipboard edges were completely covered.

If you’re new to mini albums, I have several YouTube videos showing how I put my chipboard covers together.

I kept the binding simple using stretchy string to attach seven pages to the spine. I tied each string securely without pulling it too tightly, allowing the pages to move freely.

For the pages, I used Moonlight Magic , the Hey Pumpkin Petite Print Assortment Pack , and coordinating Hey Pumpkin Textured Cardstock.

Some pages measure 12 x 4 3/4 inches, scored at 6 inches along the 12-inch side.

I also added flip pages using black cardstock. These measure approximately 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches, with a 1/2-inch score along the 4 1/2-inch side for the attachment. They can fit 3 x 4-inch photos, and the larger areas underneath provide additional room for pictures and journaling.

You could also add pockets to the front or back covers for storing extra photos and tags.

To decorate the album, I used the Hey Pumpkin 6 x 6-inch paper pad, Trick or Treat tags, Odds & Ends , Bits & Pieces, and Chit Chat titles.

I love mixing the floral die cuts, Halloween icons, and titles to create little clusters throughout the pages. I added foam adhesive to many of the embellishments for dimension while leaving room underneath to tuck in photos later.

For the cover, I layered a scalloped circle from the Hey Pumpkin die-cut stickers with another circle from the ephemera. Then I added a Pumpkin Patch Doodle-Pop and finished with spiderwebs, stars, and bats from the Hey Pumpkin Mini Icons .

To finish the spine, I gathered the seven strings and tied them together in the middle. Between the strings, I added three colors of the new wired pom-pom trim: Limeade, Cupcake and Beetle Black.

These trims add such a fun, playful touch! I also love that you can press the pom-poms down for storage and fluff them back up when you’re ready to display the album.

And that’s it for my Hey Pumpkin mini album! I love how the different page sizes, interactive flips, and dimensional embellishments leave plenty of room for photos and little Halloween memories.

HEY PUMPKIN 12x12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE | with Traci

Hello crafters! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a cute 12x12 Halloween layout that's made with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. I'm a big fan of this holiday and Doodlebug so today's scrapbook page was so much fun. It's simple, colorful, and filled with lots of sweet smiling embellishments. Perfect for Halloween photos!

I started with a sheet of beetle black cardstock as the base. Then, I layered the pink Boo-tiful Bouquet (8.5" x 11.5"), the colorful Hey Pumpkin stripe (7.75" x 11.25"), and lily white cardstock (7.5" x 11"). I adhered these towards the bottom of the page, leaving the black space at the top open for embellishments.

Next, I added the black and white scalloped This & That border sticker and the round October 31 Chit Chat die cut along the top. I filled the blank space in with more die cuts from the Odds & Ends, Bit & Pieces, and a few enamel stars from the October Sky shape sprinkles. The cute little witch on her broom is my favorite. Love her sweet cat and the pumpkin filled with candy!

Once the top was decorated, I cut out three photo mats. The black mats are 3.25" x 4", the pink ones are 3" x 3.75", and your photos will be 2.75" x 3.5". Then, I tucked a cute little witch in behind the last mat and added the "Witches and kitties and ghosts, oh my" die cut from the Chit Chat. 

I thought it would be fun to add a little dimension to the layout, so I weaved some beetle black Doodle twine around the mats to act as a web, then adhered a few small spiders to it. To complete the page, I added the fence, pumpkins, and ghost die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and they fit perfectly along the bottom.

This was such a fun and simple scrapbook page. I hope it inspires you to create something cute and colorful with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. It's great for scrapbooking, cards, or ANY Halloween papercrafts. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting! 🎃

HEY PUMPKIN SPOOKY NIGHT DOUBLE PAGE LAYOUT | with Inessa

Halloween is one of my favorite themes to scrapbook, especially when it involves all the bright colors and adorable little characters from Doodlebug Design! Today, I'm sharing a fun and colorful double-page layout featuring the Hey Pumpkin collection. This collection is packed with the cutest Halloween icons, playful patterns, and just the right amount of spooky!

For this layout, I started by mixing and matching several patterned papers to create the backgrounds. I love how the colorful diagonal stripes contrast with the black star-filled paper, making everything pop! I used the Eek! patterned paper to create my photo mats, which tie the two pages together and provide the perfect spots for adding Halloween memories.

Once my backgrounds and photo mats were in place, it was time for my favorite part—embellishing! I layered a mix of cardstock ephemera, shape sprinkles, and doodle-pops throughout both pages to create fun little clusters. From the adorable haunted house and smiling pumpkins to the sweet little witch flying on her broom, there are so many cute details to discover!

I also tucked in some colorful flowers, playful Halloween characters, and tiny stars to add even more dimension and interest. A few sparkly gems scattered throughout the embellishment clusters add just the right amount of sparkle!

Of course, I couldn't resist adding some machine stitching for extra texture. I love how stitching gives my layouts that little handmade touch and adds another layer of detail without taking away from all the colorful embellishments.

One of my favorite things about creating double-page layouts is having extra room to play with patterns, colors, and embellishments while still leaving plenty of space for photos. The coordinating papers and repeating embellishments help both pages flow together beautifully.

The Hey Pumpkin collection makes documenting Halloween memories so much fun! Whether you're scrapbooking costumes, trick-or-treating, pumpkin picking, or a spooky celebration, these cheerful designs are perfect for capturing all those sweet moments.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to mix your favorite patterned papers, layer on those adorable embellishments, and add a little sparkle to your next Halloween project!
