HEY PUMPKIN HELLO BOO-TIFUL FRIENDS ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a boo-tiful Halloween mini album featuring the Hey Pumpkin Collection! This little album is filled with fun flip pages, pockets, and adorable embellishments, perfect for documenting your October memories, trick-or-treat photos, and all the sweet moments of the season.

To get started, cut: (2) pieces of chipboard measuring 5” x 6” for the covers and (1) piece measuring 1” x 5” for the spine. Next, from patterned from the Hey Pumpkin and Sprinkling Fun papers, cut (2) pieces at 6 ½” x 7 ½”.

Center your chipboard pieces on the back side of each patterned paper, leaving an even border all around. Miter the corners and wrap the chipboard with your favorite adhesive.

For the spine, cut another piece from Hey Pumpkin measuring 5” x 7”. Center the spine piece, adhere the top and bottom flaps first, and then attach both covers making sure to leave a ½” gap from the top and bottom edges for easy folding.

For inside the album, For matting the covers inside the album, you will need, peek- a - boo and Moonlight Magic 5 3/4" and 4 3/4". I used pre-made card bases and envelopes to build the pages and pockets. The orange and black cards were adhered to the covers, and the envelopes were attached along the spine to create interactive layers and additional photo pockets.

Each page was decorated with a mix of Doodle-Pops, Chit Chat die cuts, and Odds & Ends. To add dimension, I used foam adhesive on some of the larger clusters. This gives the pages that layered, pop-up look I love so much!

The cover was finished with that adorable “Hello Boo-tiful Friends” title, cute ghosts, pumpkins, and a big striped ribbon tied on the side.

Inside, I added phrases like “Trunk or Treat,” “That’s the Halloween Spirit,” and “Sweet” to coordinate with each theme.

Some pages feature flip cards to hold multiple photos, while others include small interactive pockets perfect for tucking in journaling tags or memorabilia from candy wrappers.

Tip: This project is great for using up leftover Halloween paper scraps or embellishments and it makes a sweet gift for friends who love handmade albums! Have a great day!
