6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DOODLE POP STORAGE ALBUM | with Karen

I am not sure about you, but when I was growing up, I loved collecting stickers. I had a photo album that I used to collect my treasures and while I often traded them with friends, I had favourites that I would never part with. I would like to say that I grew out of my sticker collecting, but the truth is that I just "upped" my game by moving from scratch and sniff varieties to Doodlebug varieties - namely, DOODLEPOPS!! It is safe to say that my collection is a little out of hand, so I decided to sort them out and capture my favourites in a new" sticker book" featuring the 2.0 version of my photo album - A Doodlebug 6x8 album.

    

And today - I get to show off the cover that I made for my sticker book! This album was the coral colour and I love the warmth of the colour. It reminded me of one of my all time favourite Doodle Pops - Fruit Cocktail and the Seaside Summer collection.

   

I love this Doodle Pop not only because it has amazing dimension but it has these adorable shaped confetti pieces inside. It seemed like the perfect Doodle Pop for the cover - full of fun and colour. I layered it with some of the Bits and Pieces (because florals are also some of my favourite icons) and then layered them all on top of a strip of the 12x12 patterned paper that I added along the edge of the binding. I did use a liquid adhesive for applying all of the pieces to make sure they were sealed down right to the edges so it wouldn't catch on anything as I was taking it off the shelf.

   

 I even added a few more floral elements on the inside front and back covers to finishing off edges and add some more playful elements.

 

I then used the Sunshine Alphas as the tile of my album running them sideways along the 12 x12 paper to add some interest.

   

 I added my little label and played with the use of it by simply adding a sticker that says "happy" from the 12x12 sticker sheet in the Seaside Summer Collection.

   

Finally I topped everything off with a few Mini Jewels to add some sparkle - also using liquid adhesive to make sure they would stay put, especially on the amazing fabric binding. I am absolutely loving the way the cover has turned out. Oh, and if Doodle Pop collecting is not your thing (say what, now?!!), I also think this would be the perfect cover for an album of a trip to a warm and sunny location. I can't wait to start working on the inside! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
