LUCKY ME MINI ALBUM IN A BOX | with Traci

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun scrapbook for spring and St. Patrick's Day. My Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects happen to fall on the same day, so ... I combined the adorable Lucky Me Collection with one of Lori's amazing cutting files to create this cute mini album! 

I used the 5x5 Album With Box File (link below) to cut the base out of lily white cardstock, then decorated it with 12x12 pattern papers. On the front of the box, I layered the pretty floral Clover Patch paper, the cute polka dot print titled My Lucky Charm, and the 4x4 card from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper. 

Tucked inside the box is a cute mini album, perfect for spring and St. Patrick's Day photos. On the cover, I added the My Lucky Charm paper with its fun little images of rainbows, ladybugs, flowers, and clovers. Then, I added another 4x4 card that says hello sunshine! 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with more bright and cheerful 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of cute die cuts from All The Things, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

On the left page above, I used the adorable Rainbow Skies paper and added a 3x4 card from the Color Me Happy print. I wanted to use the card as a photo mat, so I covered the images in the center with white cardstock. Then, I added the horseshoe and flower die cuts. 

On the right, I used the polka dot print called My Lucky Charm, added a square mat, and embellished with more fun die cuts. I used a few bumblebee enamel dots on and around the pot of gold to mimic the coins.

The All The Things die cuts come with 143 pieces that include adorable shapes, icons, tags, and sentiments. So, the spring flowers, the cute blue birds, the Lucky Me that you see above, and all the other die cuts in this mini ... come in one package! It's literally ... all the things!

I hope you like this fun scrapbook and it inspires you to create something special with the wonderful Lucky Me Collection. For a video tutorial on this project, visit my blog. Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

LUCKY ME SPIRAL BOUND MINI | with Inessa

Please join us in welcoming our newest Doodlebug Design Team Member, Inessa Persekian!  Inessa's fun, bright style is the perfect fit for our products.  We are excited to see what she creates!


And be sure to check out Inessa's amazing mini album!

I’m so excited to share the absolute CUTEST mini album featuring the Lucky Me collection! The bright colors and sweet rainbow icons instantly inspired me to create something playful and interactive — and a 7x4 inch spiral-bound mini felt like the perfect way to bring it all together.

The colors in this collection are pure happy, so I knew right away my cover needed to be bold. I created a large shaker using the rainbow drops acetate and filled it with two shakers mixes — spring flowers and rainbow bright. I tucked in a few flowers from the All the Things pack, stitched the shaker closed with pink thread (because everything is cuter with stitching 💕), and finished it off with a die cut word title, flowers, and the super cute lucky lady icon sprinkle. I also added trims and the lucky charm charm clip to the spiral binding for that extra little detail that makes it feel special.

For the inside pages, I mixed patterns from the collection to create a variety of 7x4 base pages, pocket pages, and interactive flip elements.

On my first page, I created a flip-out by trimming the clover patch paper to 4x12 inches and scoring at 7 inches to form a 5-inch flap. I used a scallop punch along the edge to add a fun decorative detail. Both the inside and outside of the flap include space for a 3.5" square photo and a 3x4 photo — my favorite sizes to work with! I finished the page with icon stickers and puffy icons for dimension and texture.


For the envelope page, I used the green envelope from the Cards & Envelopes Rainbow Assortment pack and stitched a border all the way around for added detail. I adhered it to a 1.5x4 inch strip of patterned paper so the flap could still open. Inside, I added three 4x3 photos matted on patterned papers and decorated the flap with the Love You Doodle-pop. On the back side of the envelope, I added a 4x3 photo and embellished with die cuts, stickers, and the cutest little puffy ladybug.

Another favorite page features a flip-up element created from the journaling piece in the Color Me Happy paper. I folded it in half and adhered it to the right side of the base page to create a flap. On the outside, I layered die cuts with foam adhesive for dimension and added sprinkles for a playful touch. Inside, I left space for journaling and placed a small 2.5" square photo next to it.


I just love how this album came together — it’s bright, interactive, full of texture, and so much eye candy! I can't wait to fill it up with photos from this Spring.

LUCKY ME PAPERCLIP MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello Crafty friends! Today, I am sharing this cheerful and colorful paper clip mini album I created using the absolutely adorable Lucky Me collection. This happy little album is perfect for celebrating loved ones, documenting St. Patrick's Day memories, or filling with everyday photos.

The base of this album is 4 pieces of various pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. To make my album, I used the Shamrock  Wishes pattern paper, the Swimming Pool Dot/Stripe and Cherry Gingham/Linen papers, and the Rainbow Drops Acetate. These papers measure 3x12 inches. I layered them together, leaving about an inch on the bottom between each paper. I then folded the papers in half and threaded them through a big gold paper clip. I adhered the papers with strong adhesive, and this made the base of the album. 

To decorate the album, I used All the Things Die cuts, the Puffy Stickers, and the Lucky Me Sprinkles. I also added some buttons, twine, and ribbon from my stash to decorate the pages as well. These all add texture, color, and that signature Doodlebug charm.

The cover is full of layers and dimension! I started with the bright shamrock pattern paper from Shamrock Wishes and then layered it up with a doily, a cute ladybug and flower die cut, and the Lucky Me sentiment sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. A large rainbow colored bow tied with a bright yellow button adds a fun, festive touch. The oversized paper clip binding makes this mini album both functional and adorable.


The first inside pages feature this adorable slot machine die cut that I adorned with a few Puffy Sticker sparkles. 
A "so lucky in love" ticket and a sweet little ladybug die cut add personality and dimension with some added Puffy Sticker hearts. 



This page is all about St. Patrick's Day charm! The adorable leprechaun surrounded by a wreath of clovers and flowers pops against the pretty cherry-patterned paper. These die cuts are all from the All the Things pack. For the dimension, I added an orange Puffy sticker flower.


The acetate makes for such a fun and different page in this album, and I just love all of those colorful polka dots. I added a "you're my lucky charm" banner sentiment die cut along the bottom edge.


I used the Lucky Charm pattern paper to decorate this page, and it's so cute! A cute bunch of mushrooms and a ladybug die cut frame out these cute page.


Bright rainbows and happy sunshine make this page feel extra joyful. I layered a banner shape cut out of the Rainbow Skies paper and then added the 3 die cuts on top. I added a couple of enamel dots to the cheeks on the sun for dimension.


This page features a photo spot and a sweet little car with lucky passengers and a "follow your Rainbow" sticker sentiment. Don't forget to take a look at the cute shamrock Puffy Sticker. It looks perfect on the hood of the cute car.


This little section of the Swimming pool petite print was the perfect spot for this adorable sticker from the This and That Sticker sheet. How beautiful are those flowers? An enamel dot in the center of the bow makes for a simple pop of dimension on this page.


One more acetate sheet was decorated here with a photo mat and some of the cute circle die cuts. It was great to make the front and the back of this page functional because of the similar-shaped photo mat and circle die cuts. 



I cut one of the 3 x4 cut apart cards found on the Color Me Happy paper. I scored the top of the card and then added a photo mat underneath it. This little flippy adds some fun interactivity to the album! Another pretty yellow button is added to the bottom.



I just love this cute little die cut so much! I knew I had to use it in my album! It looks perfect on top of a small photo mat. A few flower die cuts are layered along the bottom with an enamel dot in the center of the orange flower.

The final page includes a tag from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper tucked into a pocket along with another photo mat. I added the "love this" sticker to the top of the photo mat. The pretty green house die cut fit perfectly along the bottom of the pocket. Twine tied at the top of the tag adds texture and a cute finishing touch.  This page wraps up the album perfectly and gives one more spot for journaling or photos.


Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this colorful Lucky Me album has inspired you to pull out this cute collection and create a cute mini album of your own. Whether you fill it with everyday memories, loved ones, or festive St. Patrick's Day moments, it's sure to become a treasured keepsake. 
Happy crafting, friends!
