FARMERS MARKET - FARMERS MARKET MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello friends! It's Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and I’m so excited to share my project using the charming Farmers Market collection. This warm and colorful mini album is perfect for capturing your fall adventures from visits to the pumpkin patch to cozy family gatherings.

 Let’s get started!

I began by creating a sturdy chipboard base for the album. The covers measure 5” x 8 ¼” and the spine is 1 ½” wide. To wrap the covers, I chose Fall Floral and Falling Leaves,  cutting each wrap piece to 10” x 6 ½”. Centering the chipboard on each wrap piece left about ¾” all around; I mitered the corners and folded them neatly to secure. For the spine, I used a 6 ½” x 5 ½” piece of Falling Leaves, leaving ¾” on each side and 2” flaps on the top and bottom, mitering just about  1/4" of the chipboard before folding. The flaps were adhered to the inside edges of the covers to form the album’s base.

Inside the album, I covered the spine with a 4 ¾” x 5 ½” piece of Falling Leaves, lightly scoring along the fold lines for a clean fit. Each inside cover was matted with a 4 ¾” x 7” piece of purple cardstock from the Coordinating Texture Cardstock (7837). The pages were cut from the yellow and orange textures in the same assortment,  three pieces at 5” x 12”, scored at 8”. From leftover yellow cardstock, I created three hinges measuring 4 ¾” x 1”, scored at ½”. These hinges were positioned evenly in the middle of the spine, starting ¼” from the top, front, and back, with each hinge section measuring ½” wide. The pages were then attached to the hinges for a sturdy, interactive structure.

To add extra function, I included a back pocket made from Farmers Market, cut to 8 ½” x 3 ½”, scored at ½” on three sides, and adhered to the inside back cover. Just before the pocket, I added a flip page measuring 6 ½” x 12”, scored at 3 ½” and 8”, and secured with magnets for a tidy closure. For matting, the hinged pages were dressed in patterned papers cut to 7 ¾” x 4 ⅞”, while the flat pages were matted at 3 ¾” x 4 ⅞”, leaving space for 3” x 4” and 4” x 6” photos.

For the outside closure, I wrapped a 3” x 12” strip of patterned paper around the album adding a 1 ½” circle with an eyelet and string for a playful, functional touch. Finally, I decorated the cover and pages with Farmers Market Icons and This & That stickers, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, Fall Flowers Shape Sprinkles, and Mini Jewels. These embellishments brought texture, sparkle, and that signature Doodlebug charm to the whole project.

This mini album is brimming with autumn colors and cozy details, ready to hold your favorite seasonal photos and memories. You can watch the whole process video for this project over on my YouTube channel. I can’t wait to see how you make it your own!

FARMERS MARKET FRESH FROM THE GARDEN MINI ALBUM |with Jen

I am so excited to get to play with the Farmers Market collection! This is in my top five favorite Doodlebug Collections. The little veggie elements, the fall colors, it's perfection! For my project today I decided to do a simple 5x7 mini album. This album has six pages and will hold about 50 4x6 photos.

On the front I created a little farm stand shaker. When this collection first came out I made a large folio with a farm stand on the cover and it was so fun to reimagine it on a smaller scale for this album. I used lightweight chipboard to build the "stand" and matted it with Buffalo Check Wood Grain 6x6 Petite Prints. For the "shelves" I used one of the border stickers from the This and That sticker sheet mounted on narrow foam tape. I used the Veggie Garden Puffy Icons for all my veggies. I added a couple of bees and a lady bug from the Farmers Market Puffy Icons. Inside the shaker I used Lily White, Ladybug, Bumblebee, Tangerine, and Limeade Shakers.

Inside there are six pages done on a stacked hinge. Each page has a front flap and a back pocket. The pockets each have a 4x6 photo mat. I decorated the inside with various elements from the Farmers Market Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, Bits and Pieces, and This and That Sticker Sheet. 

I have a full video flip through and free tutorial on my YouTube Channel!

Have a great day!

FARMHOUSE ACCORDION ALBUMS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew! How nice to see you today! I hope you've had a beautiful Thanksgiving celebration and had a wondrous time to reflect, reconnect and relax with your friends and family! How stuffed did you manage to get with all the yummy trimmings! With December only a couple days away, let's have some Fall inspiration to get you memory keeping - enter my next Farmhouse project; mini accordion albums! And there is a fun video showcase at the end my friends!

These sweet gems are 4x4.5" and 3.5x4" each. I made each album by starting with three pieces of chipboard and wrapping each with a strip of 12x12 Farmhouse patterned paper. The papers I used for the covers are Farmhouse and Fall Floral. The smaller album is covered with Fall Floral and Country Calico. I love all the papers, but these ones I used were destined to be! So fitting :-)

After I made and decorated the covers, I grabbed a couple sheets of white 12x12" cardstock and cut two strips to fit inside the album. You'll need to bind one edge to the other, creating a long 24" strip. This will serve as all the "pages" in the album. Score each page evenly and fold. Secure one end inside the back cover. You can then have the pages in and out of the cover. Next I decorated the pages with tabs and bits from the Bits & Pieces ephemera pack. Look how cute those wee tags look!

Once the cover was completed and the strip of page was folded into "pages" then comes the BEST bit ever of decorating! There is so much happiness enclosed in each Doodlebug collection, and Farmhouse is no exception! I can't tell you how much I love opening the Odds & Ends, Bits & Pieces and Chit Chat ephemera packs. You will never be short of goodies!

Here I made pop up pieces, tuck spots, tuck in areas and used Shaped Sprinkles here and there. Look how cute the kitties look all nested on the padded chair.

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. Thanks for stopping by y'all, until next time doodle dee!

FARMHOUSE SHAKER TAG MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Conny! I’m excited to share my latest project featuring the charming Farmhouse collection. One of my main inspirations came from the beautiful 12 x 12 Double-Sided Buffalo Plaid paper. I particularly loved the side with tags, which was a perfect template for creating the additional tags throughout my mini album. The rustic and cozy feel of the plaid really brought my project to life, and I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together!

Here's how I put it together!  I began with a template measuring 5 7/8" x 3 1/2".  I cut all my papers from the 6x6 paper pad or used scraps left over from my last project. Additionally, I utilized some Heavy Clear Acetate to create the templates for my shaker tags.

For the next step, I used my sewing machine to seal three sides of the tag. Then, I added a mix of shaker elements, including Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers Shakers, as well as some Tangerine Shakers. For extra flair, I included round sequins in bumblebee and cupcake. After adding the sprinkles to the clear acetate, I sewed the top of the tag shut using my sewing machine.

For the shaker cover, I embellished it with flowers from the Bits & Pieces, along with some Puffy Icon Stickers and the Turkey Time Doodle-Pop. I also added the Mini Maple Little Charmer to the ribbons. Inside the mini album, I decorated further and included photo mats that measure 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". Additionally, I incorporated a few smaller tags from the Bits & Pieces and added pom-pom ribbons for extra detail.

I added shakers as covers and one in the middle of my mini-album. My mini-album has about seven pages, but you can definitely add more. Have you ever created a mini-tag album before? I would love to see you give this project a try! You can hand stitch and create different fun patterns if you don't have a sewing machine. Make it enjoyable and uniquely yours!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

FARMHOUSE BARN SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

I love shaped mini albums. I've made them for years with my Cricut. One of my favorite projects was my barn album using Doodlebug On the Farm. But I made it years ago and it was probably the second album I'd done that was my own design that wasn't ring bound. I've learned a lot since then. So when I saw the adorable barn in the Odds and Ends for the Farmhouse collection I knew it was time for an upgraded version.

The Doodlebug SVG files available in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop are always amazing and this little Farmhouse -Barn SVG was no exception. I cut the base from chipboard using my Cricut Maker and the barn elements from the Farmhouse Coordinating Cardstock. I decorated with the Odds and Ends. And why yes, there is a goat on the roof (A very goat thing to do!)

Inside I've added some frameless shakers to make sure I got to use the new Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers shaker mixes.

I made a couple of simple layout pages and used Doodle-Pops and Bits and Pieces to decorate.

There are lots of flaps and pockets and places for pictures. I also make sure to cut apart the cute large tag paper and add some seam binding for some journaling and picture spots.

And the BEST part is there is a full, FREE tutorial on my YouTube channel! I walk you through how to make the album base in Design Space and all the construction.

FARMHOUSE BIG TAG MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I will confess that Fall is my most favorite season.  I love the colors, the crisp air, big sweaters.... all of it!  So when the Farmhouse collection came out, I was beyond excited!  One of the first papers I was drawn to was the Buffalo Check paper, and the "b" side with all the fun big tags!  I knew I was going to have to make a mini album with them.  Take a peek.... 

I started by making a chipboard cover for my mini.  I cut chipboard (2 cover pieces measuring 4 5/8" x 6 1/4", and one piece 1 3/8" x 6 1/4 for the spine.  I covered the pieces with the Country Quilt plaid paper for the outside cover.  On the inside I used a piece of Teal Textured Cardstock to cover.  I decorated my cover with die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack, some mini icons and some Flower Farm Shaped Sprinkles.  I added the pup from the mini Icons to look like he was in the truck.

I punched a hole on the right side of the inside cover.  To measure for it, I cut out all of the tags from the Buffalo Check paper, then lined one up on the inside of the book to see where to punch my hole.  I added a teal book ring from my stash.  On the left side of the inside cover I added a photo matt and elements from the Bits & Pieces Pack.

Now it was time to add my pages.  I used all 6 tags from the back of the Buffalo Check paper.  I then cut tags from coordinating Sprinkles Petite Prints and sewed them to the back of the tags.  All that was left was to decorate!

I used lots of elements from the This & That Stickers, Puffy Icons, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat pieces and Bits & Pieces along with photo matts.

I also used some of the cut-apart journaling spots from the "b" side of the Woodland Berries Paper as well as some cut apart 3x4 cards from the Country Quilt paper.

On a few of the pages, I stitched on some of the tabs from the Bits & Pieces.

Of course I had to make a shaker!  I love the adorable leaves and acorns in the Shades of Fall Shakers.  I also added some coordinating Doodlebug Sequins.

The smaller tags are from the Bits & Pieces pack.  They were fun to decorate and I love the extra detail they add.

This really was a fun mini to put together... and so easy to do with all the goodies in the Farmhouse collection!  I put together this flip through of my mini so you can see it in action!   

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
