HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I’m sharing a fun and colorful Halloween layout created with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. This collection is packed with bright, happy Halloween colors, cute icons, and sweet spooky accents that make documenting Halloween memories so much fun!


For this layout, I wanted the photos to take center stage, so I started with a clean white background and added a black cardstock border to help frame the page. The vibrant patterned papers from the collection create a striking vertical design down the left side of the layout. I layered the star-print paper with the Halloween Haul paper, then added a length of Limeade wired pom pom trim for extra texture and playful dimension.


The two photos were matted with coordinating black patterned paper from the 6' x 6' paper pad and positioned slightly overlapping to keep the focus together. Behind the photos, I tucked in floral and foliage pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack to soften the design and add pops of color.


To create a visual balance across the page, I added a large banner shape on the right using the Boo-Tiful Bouquet paper. A cluster of embellishments featuring the adorable candy bucket Shaker Pop, sweet treats, buttons, and die cuts helps draw your eye across the page while reinforcing the fun Halloween theme.


The title combines several pieces from the collection, including the "Halloween", "Trick or Treat", and "You're Sweet" embellishments. I love how the bright colors stand out against the darker Halloween patterns, creating that signature Doodlebug look that is both festive and cute.
To finish the layout, I scattered a few bats and enamel star accents around the page for movement and added extra dimension with foam adhesive. These tiny details help bring the whole design together and add a little Halloween magic.


The Hey Pumpkin Collection is perfect for capturing all your favourite Halloween memories, whether they’re spooky, sweet, or somewhere in between. I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your Halloween photos and get creating!

Happy crafting!

HEY PUMPKIN ONE SHEET MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I love Halloween.  I especially love scrapbooking all the cute photos... from costumes to trick or treating!  I discovered this cute one-sheet mini album tutorial on Instagram, and knew I had to try making one using the Hey Pumpkin collection.  Take a peek...


The whole album measures 3"x4" when all folded and the base was created with only one sheet of 12x12 cardstock.  The album holds 24,  3"x4" pages (including the cover).  Plenty of room to document all the Halloween hijinks!  

Take a peek at the inside... I had fun mixing all the patterns of the collection with some Doodle Pops, Shaped Sprinkles, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, Icon and mini Icon stickers and some This & That Stickers.


The album has 2 "sides," each starting with 4 "pages" then opening up to show another 8 pages.  Here are some close ups....



The 4 pages flip up to show eight more inside....




When you fold everything back in and flip the album you get the second set of twelve pages.







This was really fun to put together.  I couldn't believe you could get 24 pages from one 12 x 12 sheet!  It's just waiting for me to fill with fun Halloween pics!  And because I think everything looks better in action, I put together a quick video flip-through for you.


That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
