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!

SWEET & SPOOKY DISC BOUND MINI ALBUM | with Niella

Hi BOO crew! Come one, come all! With just three weeks to go until Halloween; we have officially gone into countdown mode! Eeeek, SO hex-citing! So gather around sweet witches, crafty ghoulfriends, darling wizards and cute ghosties whilst we take a look at what I've created for this week's project! A 6x4 disc-bound mini album with cutie pie Sweet & Spooky Halloween collection! Check out the full album in my video at the end of my post, yay!

I start my covering two pieces of 6x4 chipboard with a 1.75 x 6 chipboard piece as the spine onto a 12x12 patterned paper, in this case I used the how sweet it is paper. I love the lilac/lavender colour and all the candies.  Score the paper on both sides for the spine and that helps close the cover.  Line the inside of the cover with a contracting piece of paper. Next, I punched some disc insert holes for the pages. You can also punch holes and use ring binders for the pages if you like. Give it a go!

Time to add the special effects to the cover! Here I like to add coordinating cardstock, then decorate with sprinkles and here I used some washi tape for the Halloween tab, so cute! I topped off the cover with the Spiderlings doodle-pop! Darling!

Don't you just love how the cascading pages look! I start from the bottom up and each page in front is smaller than the last page. This makes sure you can see peek-a-boo pages when all the pages are piled to close your mini album.  I loved using the 6x6 paper pad, odds n ends ephemera, icons and all the pretties in this collection to decorate the front and back of every page. You can make your album as fill as you like.  The good thing about loose bound pages is you can add or remove pages.  Fun!

I love all the characters and fun elements of this collection.  Each face has a personality and every bit of this collection, like all Doodlebug collections, matches perfectly.  The hardest part is what you'll choose to use and that is why I love to make lots of the versions because each collection is plentiful!  What is your fave Doodlebug Halloween collection?

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!

MONSTER MADNESS SPOOKY FUN MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends, It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a 4.5” x 4.5” mini album using the adorable Monster Madness Collection. This is actually my first time creating with this collection, and oh my goodness, I had so much fun putting these pages together!

To get started, I cut two 4.5” x 4.5” covers using patterned papers from the collection: October 31st, Eye See You, Halloween Night, Mad Plaid, Treat Yourself, and Monster Madness. For the mats, I used the coordinating cardstock in Bubblegum, Mandarin, Swimming Pool, and Orchid, cutting them down to 4” x 4” so they layer perfectly on each page.

Each page was embellished with a mix of stickers, washi tape, and die-cuts from the collection. I added fun details, such as stitched borders with my pen, playful monsters, and lots of bright pops of color. Some pages have spots ready for photos, while others are perfect for journaling those spooky memories.

To bind the album together, I used a pumpkin acrylic cover albums. I embellished the cover with cardstock stickers, puffy icons, and added gold rings to hold everything together. I finished it off with black tulle at the top for a little extra flair and texture.

The Monster Madness Collection is filled with silly, not-so-scary monsters, candy, and bold colors that make it perfect for kids’ Halloween memories or just for anyone who loves a fun, playful twist on spooky season. I hope this mini album inspires you to dive into this collection and create something fun for Halloween. Thanks for stopping by, crafty friends! Happy Crafting, Conny

MONSTER MADNESS - MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET MINI ALBUM | with Jen

There might be monsters in your closet! Thankfully they're the super cute Doodlebug kind! This week I'm working with the adorable Monster Madness collection. I have always loved this collection and never had a chance to work with it when it first came out so I was THRILLED to get to use it for my project with week! 

I have made a very simple 5x7 mini album. The inspiration for this project was the Odds and Ends pieces with the monsters and ghost peeking out of the door. I used the Monster Madness Haunted Door SVG File available in the Lori Whitlock shop  to make the door for the front of my album. Rather than cutting the same monsters I used the Mini Monsters, Boo to You, and Candy Monster Doodle-Pops. I added my Spooky title from the Chit Chat pack. 

Inside are four pages, all with the same layout. I added a pocket to the front of each page and flap that I decorated like a door using the Monster Madness Solid Cardstock Pack. For doorknobs I used the Halloween Assortment Sprinkles. Each door also got a Chit Chat piece as door decor. 

Inside each pocket is an insert that fits 4x6 photos. There are monsters from the Odds and Ends pack hanging out on the edge of each insert so it looks like they are peeking out the doors as you flip through the album. 

On the last page of the album I added the Odds and Ends piece that inspired my album. 

On the back of the album I couldn't help myself,  I build a little scene using some more of the Odds and Ends. 

And of course I have a video walkthrough and full tutorial. I also have a free cutting guide on my website!

Have a great day!

MONSTER MADNESS PINK CAR MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I have the cutest Halloween project to share with you. It's a pink car shaped mini album that I made with the adorable Monster Madness Collection and a spooktacular cutting file. It's titled Be Scary and it's a fa-boo-lous little scrapbook for your fun holiday photos.

For the shape, I used the Odds & Ends die cuts as inspiration. I loved the pink car, so I chose the matching cut file called Monster Mash Pink Monster Car. I sized it to 8x6 inches and cut two covers out of white acrylic - but you could use card stock. Next, I chose the pink polka dot side of the 12x12 Mad Plaid paper for the car, the Petite Print Swiss Dot in pistachio for the rear window, and beetle black and grey textured solids. 

The cutting file comes with monsters, but I chose to use some funny little die cuts instead. Then, I added stars from the Midnight Magic shape sprinkles and two enamel dots from the Halloween assortment. And those teeny tiny adorable spiders ... they're from two different Doodle-pops - Eek and On the Web. So cute!

Inside, there are 12 white scrapbook pages that I covered in colorful patterns from the 6x6 paper pad. I added journaling cards from the 12x12 Stroke of Midnight print, more fun die cuts, and photo mats for my pictures.

On this page, I created a flippie using the spider journaling card. It has space for a photo inside, and one on the vibrant striped mat underneath. Aren't the colors in this Monster Madness collection fang-tastic? 😉 

It wouldn't be Halloween without a few ghosts, so I added this cute die cut with it's candelabra. And to light his way ... I added a few mini jewels!  

I love a good pocket for extra storage in a mini album. Here, I used the colorful striped Eye See You paper and tucked a couple of journaling cards and die cuts inside. The die cuts are white on the back, so you can add notes to them as well.

Check out this 6x6 paper filled with colorful little monsters. I added the Family die cut from the Chit Chat and more sparkle with mini jewels. What a cute way to highlight your Halloween photos.

This purple blob cracks me up with his toothy grin, his happy lollipop, and his wagon full of goodies! To zhuzh it up just a bit, I added an enamel dot to the cupcake and mini jewels to his tires.

Whether you're a scrapbooker, a card maker, or just love creating with paper ... this Monster Madness Collection is so fun for the Halloween season. It's bright, whimsical, and filled with playful characters, pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, and all kinds of sweet treats!

And there ya have it! I hope my Halloween car shaped mini album inspires you to create something special with the Monster Madness Collection and one of Doodlebug's cutting files! Have a boo-tiful day 😊
