Have you seen our new 6"x8" albums? These petite albums are available in 14 colors and each album has 5 chipboard tab dividers, 4 colored inserts, 4 pocket pages, and 10 assorted page protectors! To kick off the new year, we challenged our Design team to each create a mini album using these fun new books. Every couple of weeks, you'll see inspiration and new designs as each designer builds their album! Some of the books will be centered around a certain theme, some around everyday memory keeping! All albums will be full of fun ideas and inspiration for you! We are kicking off our 6"x8" album inspiration with Brianna!
Hey friends! Brianna here today and I couldn't wait to share the cover of my 6x8 album with y'all today! I'm so excited that I will be able to share this album with y'all in steps. There's a lot of love going into creating this album, so it will be nice to highlight the process as well as the pages with you all. So for today, here's the cover. Make sure to stay tuned for my next post where I'll be sharing a few completed pages!
I was so lucky to be able to choose the album color I wanted to work with and I selected Mint. If you know me, I love mint and this album is gorgeous! First, I decided to add a large bow on the left side of it using some wide white ribbon with gold on the edges. It couldn't have been more perfect for my cover. I purchased it at Target over the Christmas season a few years ago. I did feel like it needed a little something extra, so I added a couple of adorable Little Charmers to it! I chose the Mini Maple and Country Pumpkin charms and tied them to a piece of thread. I then simply tied the thread to my ribbon and I love the cuteness factor that it adds to my bow!
I then pulled a few die cuts from the Odds and Ends pack as well as the Bits & Pieces pack and created a cute little scene. I even added a few of the Mini Icons stickers since they were the perfect size to add right on top of the house piece. So adorable!!
For the title of my album, I selected the 'Our Happy Family' banner from the Chit Chat pack since I plan on filling this album with a bunch of photos of my family. The black stitching around the banner matched my stitching on the circles and I love how it all went together! Lastly, I added a few floral Puffy Icons stickers and that was it! I love how my cover turned out, here's one last look:
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Do you enjoy making album covers? I do!! I can't wait to show you a few pages from the inside of this album! See you next time friends!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating! Have you got the new Tinsel Time collection yet? It is SO beautiful and perfect to document all of your Christmas memories. Each year our family loves to go and see all the Christmas lights displays in our area and the Tinsel Time collection captures some of the photos I took brilliantly.
As Santa and his elves get back to the North Pole and start working on Christmas 2025, after a break of course, I'd like to say a HUGE thanks crafty crew for being such great support for us here on the Doodlebug Blog and socials! I have loved bringing you all inspiration through the year and we wouldn't be anywhere without sharing, liking, commenting and being such loyal followers of all things Doodlebug :-) For my last Tinsel Time project, I've created a 6"x3" mini album as the season comes to a close and it's now time to memory keep! There's a super fun video showcase at the end of this post to see all the pages, so grab a beverage and some snacks as you scroll on through today's post!

Merry Christmas! It's incredible to see how time flies, I can hardly believe that this is the last project of 2024 and obviously it had to be very special! I made this project for Santa Claus with a lot of love!
I tell you, I wanted to surprise Santa in a very special way! Leaving him the traditional cookies, so I made a box with the cardboard technique and the Tinsel Time collection and the result is adorable!
I placed many cookies for Santa inside the box and decorated the outside with the odds & ends and I love how they look!
I decorated the lid with Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces and of course I added sprinkles to give that shine that I love so much!
And what is a gift without a beautiful bow! I placed it on the lid with a December 25th tag, which of course is when we all wait for the arrival of our dear Santa!
We are officially down to the wire! It's time to get all of those Christmas gifts wrapped and put under the tree! I decided to add some fun Tinsel Time Shaker Tags to some of my gifts this year... take a peek...
To top my tags I stapled some grosgrain ribbon using my tiny attacher stapler. They are all set to be added to my gifts!
Here's a little video of my tags.... it's always more fun to see things in motion!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe & healthy Holiday season. I'll be back in the new year with some more Doodlebug projects! Thanks for stopping by to peek.
