HEY PUMPKIN OCTOBER 31ST LAYOUT | with Tarrah

 Halloween is nearly here so if you're looking for a playful, vibrant, and totally adorable way to document your October 31st memories, this layout is pure magic! Using the Hey Pumpkin collection and a coordinating Doodlebug cut file from Lori Whitlock, this page captures the whimsy and wonder of Halloween with a perfect blend of color, texture, and personality!

The Hey Pumpkin collection is a Halloween lover’s dream. Packed with candy-colored patterns, cheerful characters, and just the right amount of spooky charm, it’s ideal for scrapping those costume moments and trick-or-treat adventures. I chose the Hey Pumpkin Spider Web cut file from Lori Whitlock and cut the web part from the 'B' side of the Jolly 'Jack-O-Lantern' patterned paper. I then adhered the web to the 'B' side of the 'Eek' patterned paper.

The spiders from the cut file I enlarged in the Silhouette software before I cut out them from one of the papers in 6' x 6' paper pad. I used foam tape to adhere them on to the web. I added small enamel dots for the eyes of the spiders. The photo takes centre stage, it is matted with coordinating papers and layered on top of the web design, making it feel like part of the scene. The layout balances visual interest with emotional storytelling—exactly what scrapbooking is all about.

The title 'October' is from the Chit Chat pack as are some of the smaller sub titles. I added black enamel dots to he eyes of the ghost and also added Shape Sprinkles over the spider in the title and the star die-cuts.   

A few pieces from the Bits and Pieces pack were added including the arrow under the photo and the yellow tab on the left of the photo. A few sprinkles of black mist and the date stamped finish off my layout.

I hope you have been inspired to document your Halloween memories this season using the gorgeous Hey Pumpkin collection! Happy Halloween and happy crafting!

HEY PUMPKIN MINIS | with Niella

Hey pumpkins, ghoul-friends, witchy boos and ghosties! Halloween is upon us! Are y'all ready for all the fun, candy bowls, decoration prep and spooky sweet costumes?! I bet you are! Eek, so exciting right! What better way than to document every tidbit. photo op and memory! So much so that I have created these Hey Pumpkin cutie-pie 3.5 x 5" mini albums for this very occasion! Boo-tiful! There's a video flip through at the end of this post to get your fangs into of both mini albums even though I only photographed one below to keep it simple...call it a surprise! 

To begin, I used a thick 3.5 x 5" piece of chipboard and covered it with a patterned paper.  That creates the foundation.  Next, from the patterned papers I picked out nine different pages and cut them down so that one page is either bigger or smaller than the first. The cover is made from the Homespun acetate and I've decorated the outside of it.  Spook-tacular!

I'm not kidding when I tell you that my fave part of any of my mini albums is the decorating! There is endless possibilities when it comes to deciding what to have on each page. Remember you can create pages and they can be covered with photos as well or adhere one edge of the photo to the base and you've created a flip feature. I like to use the decorated pages for quotes or funny tidbits to record on or just dates and a fun memory.

A good tip is to decorate all your pages first, that way you can sew, paint or embellish each page freely.  Then when you're ready to bind, you simply pile them and then sort the size if that's what you're after.  When you punch the disc slots, make sure you're punching the middle of the page, so when the pages are compiled, they all turn and match as you like :-)

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Until next time; doodle BOO!

HEY PUMPKIN PEPPERMINT PATTY WRAPS | with Karen

Halloween treats are not just for kids! Everyone should be able to get in on the yummy part of the season. Sometimes that means you might need to change up the treat a bit. No, I am not talking about the beverage kind - I'm talking about something a little more sophisticated...like a peppermint patty wrapped up in Doodlebug Hey Pumpkin paper, of course!

I love these simple little treat wraps featuring some of the 12x12 papers from the Hey Pumpkin collection. For these, I used the Hey Pumpkin, Moonlight Magic, Boo-tiful Bouquet and Jolly Jack-o-lantern papers.

While they look a little bit like a tag, you can see from the side that they hold a little treat inside! Tied up with some Doodle Twine in Beetle, these little wraps take these mini peppermint patties to a whole new level!

Oh, and then all the fun happens! Grab the die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat packs to decorate up the front. Don't be afraid to have the cute characters and shapes come off of the edges slightly to add more interest!

Candy and Doodlebug cuteness for everyone! Does it get any better than that? Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN BOXES | with Miguel

We continue creating beautiful projects for this Halloween season, and this time I created these fun boxes with the Hey Pumpkin collection. I loved the results!

To make them, I used coordinating textured cardstock for the boxes and decorated them with patterned papers, and Odds & Ends to give the boxes that fun and adorable effect.

I made two versions, changing the color of each one: orange and pink. Both are very pretty, hehe.

And obviously, there's a big surprise inside. I added these super terrifying, yet cute earrings, which I'm sure my friends will love. 

Thanks for reading and stopping by. See you soon!

HEY PUMPKIN GHOULFRIENDS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

We are getting closer and closer to all things spooky and  fun!  So, today, I am going to share how I am using the colorful and beautiful Hey Pumpkin collection to create  a scrapbook layout that will hold my Goddaughters' photos for this year.  Let's take a look at the project:

I love graphic designs with straight and  repeating elements.  I played with them for this spread, and loved the weaved effect on the page.

I started by cutting strips from the Hey Pumpkin paper, then weaved them on top  of the Eek! paper. Once I secured them, I trim the paper to 11x11 and framed it with the Moonlight Magic paper.  The placement of the lines creates the perfect spot for everything else.

I am using papers from the 6x6 paper pad to frame the photos, and then added them to the top left corner of the layout.   The photos are on a slight angle so that they pop from the straight lines of the background.

I kept my embellishments subtle and added pieces from This & That , Odds & Ends to the corners of the photos.  There is so much already on the page that  works better to keep it simple this time.

To finish the page, I mixed Chit Chat with a few stickers at the bottom right corner of the page.  This helps balance the page as well as help with the design in the weaved paper strips.  A few sprinkles to add pops of color completes the spread. I love how this turned  out, and I am ready to just add the photos come November 1st.  Be sure to take the pictures and then document them with the fun Hey Pumpkin collection. XO

HEY PUMPKIN POP UP CARDS | with Kathy

I think that Hey Pumpkin is one of my favorite Doodlebug Halloween collections.  Probably because it's full of adorable black cats!!  This time around I decided to make some fun pop up cards featuring some of those kitties, take a peek...

For the base of my cards I used pop up platform dies from my stash and some Beetle Black Cardstock.  I added some papers from the 6x6 pad for color around the bases.  My first card features the sweet little pink car driven by a little ghost from the Odds & Ends pack.  Behind the car is a fun tree from the Odds & Ends and a bat from the Halloween Night shaped sprinkles.

For my last layer I cut a 3x4 piece of our heavyweight clear acetate, and adhered another ghost and moon from the Odds & Ends and some stars and a bat from the shaped sprinkles. I love how it looks like they're floating behind the tree. I finished it with a sentiment banner from the Chit Chat pack.  

For my next card I used the pumpkin, ghost and kitty from the Bits & Pieces pack.  I wanted it to look like they were in the middle of a pumpkin patch so I added a few more pumpkins from the Odds & Ends along with some flowers and leaves. 

For this card I also added a piece of heavyweight acetate in back.  To this I added a ghost and some more shaped sprinkles bats so they were flying behind the kitty.  The speech bubble is from the Chit Chat pieces.

Now if I can remember to mail the cards, I'll be all set!  Have you made any projects using the Hey Pumpkin collection?  If you do, be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign on socials!  We love to see what you create.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
