OH WHAT FUN DECEMBER DAILY PAGES | with Nathalie

I  am slowly making a dent in past December Documented albums.  Yes, there are still dates that have yet to be filled, and I love the colors and designs in the Oh What Fun collection.   I had so much fun working on bringing my memories to live in my 6x8 album, let's take a look:

I love how these came together so easily with a just a few combinations of papers and embellishments.  Sometimes all you need are simple designs to get it all together.

I started with this double spread that focuses on displaying the photos on the vertical lines of the spread tying them together with the same patterned paper - All Spruced Up.

 

I am using one of the papers from the 6x8 paper pad for the background of my page.  A tied white twine around the page, and used it to hang the photo on it.   I added pieces from the collection along the string to bring it all together.    A simple tile combining tags from Odds & Ends pack and Puffy Alpha stickers, complete the spread.

For this page, I am taking a advantage of the cards in the Merry Magic to create a pocket for my story.  I made sure my photos fit inside the card, then adhere to a piece of Spruce Up patterned paper.  Then adhere the card to the paper to create a pocket for my journaling card.

I am using the back of the previous spread to create this story.  I collaged my photos into a grid, and printed them together.  A simple title and the puffy stickers is all you need to embellish them.

I am using a piece of Pistachio Floral-Grid Petite print to create my journaling spot.  Once again  a combination of Stickers and Bits & Pieces help bring focus and sentiment to the page.

I love how these turned out using the Oh What Fun Collection for my December Documented 6x8 Cupcake album.  Hopefully they inspire you to get crafty with it! XO

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP DECEMBER MINI | with Nathalie

Hi there! As we are reviewing our past weeks using the beautiful Doodlebug 6x8 albums, I have to say that I have been loving, and jotting down ideas for my own memory keeping. I love the possibilities the album offers (probably cause I love documenting in smaller formats), especially when it came to getting my December 2023 memories into the album.

I decided to keep the cover of my Cupcake album simple and not bulky so that it sits nicely on my shelf and also reflects the contents of the album. I am using Tinsel Time to bring color and fun to my memories in the album.

I always love having a title page for my albums, this time I am using the Shadow Box kit from Tinsel Time. I created a circle from one of the binder pages, and then used the template to place all the pieces, followed by the large title. I love how it turned out!

One of my favorite things about the new Doodlebug albums are the interactive pages added in them. I took advantage of one of the pockets to add multiple pictures and journaling.

Pocket pages are a great and easy way to document your memories. So, I am mixing them with handmade inserts/pages. In this case, I am adding a piece of transparency as a title page for my spread, while adding a bit more impact to my album.

I took advantage of the back of the transparency to bring the next memories together. Interactive elements are always fun to add to your albums since you have the option to have spreads outside of the pocket page. So adding flips and pockets is a fun way to keep the album fun and interesting!

One of my favorite things about 6x8 albums is that you are able to scrapbook in a smaller version. You can have all your embellishments, and patterned papers in a smaller size with multiple and also large pictures.

I just loved working with this smaller format, and I hope you are enjoying all the beautiful ideas shared. I cannot wait to continue working in my little albums ( I might have added a few more to my collection!). Be sure to check the albums, you are going to love them! XO

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP DECEMBER ALBUM | with Erica

Hello Doodlebug friends! Erica here, and today I'm excited to share more pages from my 6x8 mini album featuring the adorable Tinsel Time collection. I’ve had so much fun putting this album together, and today I’m sharing both completed pages and some brand-new additions!

For one of my favorite pages, I pulled out my trusty border punch and created a textured background by layering punched border strips all along the 6x8 page base. To add a little extra interactive element, I created a fun pocket using two tags from the Tinsel Time collection. By adhering foam adhesive along the sides and bottom of the tags, I made a perfect little spot to tuck in extra journaling tags or photos. A bold title at the bottom completed the page—simple and sweet!

Next, I created a playful spread featuring some adorable cut files. I used a Ho-Ho-Ho cut file, backed it with patterned papers from Tinsel Time, and couldn’t resist adding the cutest snowman in the center of the first “O”. The remaining “O’s” are left open to showcase special holiday photos. On the opposite page, two festive Christmas trees set the scene, complete with photo mats and embellishments like die cuts, stickers, and sprinkles to add extra detail.

Since winter adventures are also a big part of the season, I included a "Bundle Up" themed spread. I found a perfect cut file and backed it with colorful patterned papers from Tinsel Time. To make this page even more interactive, I created a matching page filled with circles that lift up to reveal spots for snowy-day photos or cozy winter journaling.

This album has truly been a joy to create, and I can't wait to fill it with my 2025 holiday memories. I hope these pages inspire you to document your holiday moments creatively with the delightful Tinsel Time collection!

Happy Crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER MINI PART 4 | with Nathalie

It is no secret I love small format documenting, especially for all every day memories. I think most of us make a lot of memories in December, and even though they are part of our routine, they tend to be a little more memorable because of the season. So, today, I want to show you how I have gone about documenting them in single page spreads in my 6x8 Cupcake album.  If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, and my pages here and here.

I wanted to show you how easy it is to document your regular memories with a flair in your albums. For this spread, I am connecting two different single page spread by using the same paper -from Tinsel Time collection- on both sides. The left side is simple with just photos framed with one of the journaling cards and a few extra embellishments.

For the right side of the spread, I am creating an interactive element with a pocket to house a few photos and the story of the day. The background was created with Tinsel Time coordinating cardstock. Then, I cut a 6x8 piece of paper, and created the fold before gluing to the page to create the pocket. The house Doodlepop helps to anchor the pocket and as part of the title for the page.

The pocket is a great way to store your large photos and long stories. Since the pocket is already festive, then I kept the decoration to the inserts simple and focused.

Since there are so many memories happening back to back during the holiday season, I have learned that it is nice to track them all but keeping them simple in format, hence the single 6x8 page spreads.

I am using the back of the pocket spread as the base for this page. Then created a grid style spread for the story. I am using a combination of papers from the 6x6 paper pad and Petite Prints connected with a scalloped border. The large alpha stickers help to create the title and also keep my grid design for the spread.

For my last spread, I m using the 6x8 pocket from the album, therefore I trimmed the patterned paper accordingly. I used a combination of embellishments to bring the story together making sure that the colors on both sides of the album are cohesive.

I hope these spreads give you a bit of inspiration on how you can document your everyday memories in your 6x8 albums with a bit of Doodlebug magic. Remember to share with us what your are creating for your albums! XO

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER ALBUM PART 4 | with Erica

Hello, crafty friends! Erica here, back with another 6x8 mini album spread featuring the oh-so-adorable Tinsel Time collection from Doodlebug Design! This spread is all about interactive elements, bright colors, and festive charm, everything I love about Doodlebug Design! If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my pages posts here and here.

For this layout, I incorporated the Love Notes Doodle Cut, which includes the cutest mini envelope dies. I used the 6x6 Tinsel Time paper pad to die-cut six mini envelopes, three across the top and three across the bottom—to create a playful grid design. In the center, I placed a large title die cut, drawing the eye to the middle of the spread.

To make the envelopes functional, I stuffed them with photo mats, die cuts, and cut-aparts, perfect for adding photos that can be pulled out, as well as hidden journaling on tags and cut-aparts. These little details make this spread not only visually fun but also interactive and full of surprises!

For the next page, I used a Holly, Jolly, Merry, and Happy cut file, cutting it from white cardstock to fill the entire base of the page. I then backed the cut file with patterned paper, bringing in all the signature Doodlebug color and charm. To finish it off, I embellished around the title with stickers, die cuts, and adorable puffy stickers, adding layers and dimension.

This spread is bright, playful, and filled with holiday cheer, and I cannot wait to add my photos and memories! I love how the interactive elements make it even more special, and I hope it inspires you to try something similar in your own mini albums.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon to share more pages from this fun holiday album, so stay tuned!

Happy crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER MINI PART 3 | with Nathalie

Hey there! I am having so much fun working away my past December memories in my Cupcake 6x8 Album, I really hope to get it all done before the new Holiday season arrives. Today, I wanted to share a few entries of my journal with you ! If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, and my first pages here.

I love transparency and different size/configurations for my documenting. So, I had to reach for the acrylic page from the Tinsel Time collection for these spreads.

I kept the photos in a simple photo page, taking advantage of the 3x4 journaling cards in the Tinsel Time collection, but decided to build my own card as the divider/title page for this spread.

I trimmed the transparency smaller than the standard size of the page. Then, I combined one of the 3x4 journaling cards, paper, and a Doodle-pop to make the card. I glued it to the center of the acetate, and then trimmed the title from the 6x6 paper pad.

I am taking advantage of the back of the transparency to start my next spread. So, once again I am using it as my title/journaling page for the next spread, in an interactive ways.

This time, I am using a piece of one of the envelopes from this collection to create the flap behind the title card. I had to make sure that the space used pretty much match the other side, so creating a flap just worked perfectly here.

I pulled elements from the title/cover page to complete the photo part of the spread. I am going for another interactive element for this page. The little pockets hold photos of my family. I added uniformity by repeating elements in each pocket, and used the leftover pieces of the envelope to create the small banners.

I hope this inspires you to pull your Doodlebug 6x8 Albums and start adding your memories in them. You are going to love the versatility it adds to your documenting. XO
