OH WHAT FUN TRUCK SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new Christmas mini album that I made with the adorable Oh What Fun Collection and a Doodlebug truck shaped cutting file. I was inspired by all the colorful gift and toy pieces in the Odds & Ends and thought this scrapbook would be a cute way to highlight them!

For the shape, I chose the cutting file titled Truck - On the Farm. I sized it to 6x9 inches, tweaked the back a little, and cut two covers out of white acrylic. You could use card stock for these instead.

Next, I covered the front in a festive 12x12 polka dot print called Here Comes Santa and added accents from a few other patterns called Merry and Bright, Merry Magic, Twinkle Time, and Swiss Dot in swimming pool.

I filled the truck with presents, toys, candy canes, gingerbread, and a fun little plaid tree. Aren't these Odds & Ends great? Then to finish the cover, I added a few enamel dots in swimming pool to the tires.

Just inside the cover, I created a photo mat with the rainbow stripe paper called Merry Bright. Then, I took advantage of the fun shape by filling in the extra spaces with more die cuts. How cute is the reindeer and the Christmas tree headband on the little girl?! 💕

The album has 16 white scrapbook pages that include 2 pockets, 3 flippies, 2 fold-out pages, and space for 30 holiday photos. I covered each layout in a colorful 12x12 pattern paper, then added photo mats and more embellishments. The snow globe above is my favorite!

Oh wait ... maybe the Santa Express helicopter is my favorite. The little elf and gift flying underneath is so creative. I can't pick just one!

I'm also loving the little touches of Bubble Blue throughout this collection. This "vintage book shop" die cut is a great example. Unexpected and soooo pretty!

Here's one of the 2 little pockets. I added the Cookies and Candy plaid print in the background and more of the Merry and Bright stripe on the front. I tucked a few 3x4 cards into the pocket, which btw ... are fabulous. They have elves, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, reindeer, and cute holiday sayings. Love them!

Check out this fun detail ... since the Santa's Toy Factory die cut was a larger size, I adhered only the bottom of it to the page and made a fun little holder out of it for my photo mat. Perfect!

I hope you have as much fun creating with the cute new Oh What Fun Collection as I did. And don't forget to check out all the great cutting files Doodlebug has. The possibilities are endless! Have a wonderful day. 😊
