6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HALLOWEEN DISNEYLAND PART 2 | with Miguel

They say that remembering is living again and today I decided to document a wonderful trip from 2023 to Paris!  I got to visit one of the most magical places, Disneyland. And I think Doodlebug's 6x8 albums are great for documenting.

If you missed my cover post you can see it here.  The first page places the month and date of this great trip with some Sweet & Spooky  This & That Stickers and Puffy Icon Stickers.

On my next page,  I placed the photo of the castle and continued decorating with Odds & Ends and added a title with some Alphabet Soup Stickers.

I love the photo insert pocket pages because they allow you to capture several moments on a single page.


On the other page I added cardstock and Stickers.  I love that you can add lots of things to the pockets to display!


I will be back with more ideas from my book in my next posts. See you soon!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER MINI PART 2 | with Nathalie

I am loving the new 6x8 Doodlebug albums, I love documenting in a small format! So, I wanted to share with you how I am using my Cupcake 6x8 album to start documenting my December 2023 memories..

I always start my albums with a title page, that way it creates a beginning to the stories it holds. For this album, I wanted something fun and colorful.


I chose to trim one of the premade pages that come in the album into a circular shape, making sure that the binding holes are included, so the page can be secured to the album. Next I reached for the Tinsel Time Shadow Box Kit to build my page


I cut the vellum in the kit to a 1/2" smaller than the page, and use the template in the Box Kit to attach the stickers and sprinkles. I used foam adhesive to pop the "December" Chit Chat piece and added Alphabet Soup - Ladybug- complete the title of the page. I backed the vellum with a piece of white cardstock before gluing it to the premade shaped page.


I added a few personal notes to the back of the circle page, then decided to jump into a fun idea to document a story with multiple photos. Make an interactive pocket page spread!


For the pocket portion of the spread, I kept it simple with one of the cards from the Happy Hollydays paper, and I made the other card using a piece of Tinsel Time paper, Stickers and puffy stickers. I kept the pockets simple as I am adding a larger pocket next to it.


I created the tags with the two sides of the Snow Bright paper. I added my photos and embellishments from the Tinsel Time collection, and still have space to add more photos to the back of the tags, or add more tags in the pocket featured in this page.

I am using a piece of Tinsel Time paper and Berry Merry to create my pocket. A few stickers complement the colors and match the feel in the pocket page. I then added my journaling in one of the large journaling cards from the Christmas Candy paper, and added it to the pocket. I just love how all these page came together. There is so much you can do and store in your 6x8 Albums, be sure to check them out! XO

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 PART 2 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with the second installment of my Doodlebug 2025 6x8 Mini Album.  As I mentioned in my cover post (here) one of my goals for 2025 was to get back to documenting the everyday life and special events.  I created the clean and colorful cover to my album and I wanted to bring the same feel throughout the rest of the book, so I created quarterly dividers using the same font (Impact) and papers cut using my Silhouette.  Take a peek...

I started with the sprinkled dividers that came with the album.  To each of those,  I attached three month names cut from various Petite Prints, and offset with the Cute & Crafty Bright Ideas lined paper.  I randomly zig-zag stitched around the letters to keep the same look as my cover.  I then glued the sprinkled divider to one of the tabbed chipboard dividers to hide the stitching.  I also added some rainbow petite prints to the tabs.  

Next came the fun part... decorating each month with a cute little Doodlebug Icon, and some shaped sprinkles.  I used mostly collections from the past year or two... there were so many to choose from! For January- March I used Icon Stickers and Shaped Sprinkles from Snow Much Fun, Lots of Love and Over the Rainbow.  I just adore the sweet bear with heart balloons!!! He's my favorite!



For April through June, I used Icon Stickers and Sprinkles from Bunny Hop, Hello Again and Farmhouse.


For July though September I used Icons from Hometown USA, Seaside Summer and Farmhouse.

And finally for October through December I used Icons from Hey Pumpkin, Farmers Market and Tinsel Time.  

Now I'm ready to get started scrapping my photos!  I'll be back in a couple of weeks to show my first few pages, and a few more divider ideas using my Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.  In the meantime, keep checking the blog for lots more 6x8 Mini Album inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
