SNOW MUCH FUN - CIRCLE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey crafty friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a cute winter mini album made with the adorable Snow Much Fun Collection and my Acrylic Circle Petal Album. This little scrapbook has a fun shape with cut-outs on the cover that show off all the pretty pattern papers and cool winter colors. They're all so beautiful!

On the front, I layered two circles cut from the gorgeous blue jean paper (Wintery Woods) and the colorful snowflake print (Snow Day). Then, I added the cute scalloped snowman sticker from the This & That sheet. 

Inside the cover, I chose the pistachio print (Frozen Flurry) for the background, then embellished with 2 die cuts from the Chit Chat. And for a little winter sparkle, I added colorful mini jewels to each of the snowflakes.

Next, I cut 4 circles out of white card stock for my pages. This gave me 8 layouts to decorate and add photos to, but you could add more if needed. I also created 1 flippie and 2 fun pockets with journaling cards for extra photo space.

This first page is the one that shows through the cut-outs on the cover, so I used a 2" circle punch and added lots of colorful pattern papers. For the photo mat in the center, I used the Wintery Woods paper.

This next page is filled with cuteness! The Snow Much Fun print in the background has lots of adorable images of snowmen, winter animals, a yeti, skiers, and hot cocoa. I added a square photo mat, then embellished with die cuts from the Odds & Ends and a word bubble from the This & That stickers.

Check out this fun pocket page and the colorful stripes. I decorated the edge of the pocket with a scalloped This & That border sticker, then added die cuts from the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends. Then, I tucked some cute journaling cards inside that are from the 12x12 Cold Streak print.

Here, I created a folding card with space inside for 2 photos, AND ... another handy dandy pocket. I used a 3x4 card from the Frozen Flurry print to create the flippie and adhered it to the page on 3 sides only. This way, I could tuck the Bits & Pieces tags and clipboard in the top to be used for journaling!

I hope you love this winter mini album and the Snow Much Fun Collection as much as I do!  To see my spring version of this acrylic album that's made with Doodlebug's Over The Rainbow Collection, click here.

OH WHAT FUN STOCKING MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and I’m back today with another fun holiday project featuring the Oh What Fun Collection. This is Project Four using this gorgeous collection, and I created an adorable Christmas stocking mini album with five pages, both front and back!
If you’d like to see how this album comes together from page construction to the final assembly, be sure to check out the process video on my YouTube channel.
I started by cutting all of my base pieces using my Cricut Maker. 
    Stocking Base (White Cardstock):

Cut from 110 lb. white cardstock for a sturdy base
Size: 6.7 × 7.5 inches
Cut five total bases
Top Stocking Fold:
Size: 4.9 × 3.1 inches
I used the offset feature on my Cricut and set it inward
Inner Stocking Layers:
Size: 6.3 × 7.1 inches
Rectangle Layer on Top of Stocking:
Backing piece size: 4.5 × 2.7 inches
Patterned Papers Used:
8991 – Cookies and Candy
8994 – Twinkle Time
8992 – Christmas Tree
8998 – Here Comes Santa
8989 – Merry Christmas
Each page is filled with layers and dimension, mixing patterns throughout the album. The photo mats are designed for 3 x 4-inch photos, with white cardstock mats trimmed to 3.5 x 4.5 inches, backed with leftover patterned paper scraps from previous projects, making them perfect for using up extras. I used a mix of Odds & Ends and Chit Chats to add phrases and create cute little Doodlebug clusters throughout the album.
The ribbon on the cover is extra special; it came from Cynthea at Doodlebug as part of the packaging from a gift she sent me. (Thank you so much, Cynthea! You have the kindest heart.) Her ribbons are always beautiful.
On the cover, I added a Doodle Pop: “Santa On His Way”, featuring Santa on his little train, along with the Christmas Magic acrylic word and enamel dots to finish everything off.
I had so much fun creating this Christmas stocking mini album, and this collection made it a joy to work with. Be sure to check out the blog post to see my other projects using this collection, and don’t forget to visit my YouTube channel to watch the full process video.
Thank you so much for crafting along with me! See you next time!

OH WHAT FUN DECEMBER 25th MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and holiday cheer. Today, I have a fun new mini album to share with you titled December 25 that's packed with lots of cute goodies from the Oh What Fun Collection! It's sweet, colorful, and perfect for your holiday memories. ❤️

To make it, I created the album covers out of white acrylic but you could use card stock instead. The front piece is the number 25 and the back is a 6.5"x 6.5" square. I embellished the cover with 3 ahhh-dorable Doodle-pops titled Santa's Elves, Playful Pixies, and Deer Friends. Then, I added some die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and a bunch of fabulous puffy stickers from the icons and words.

Behind the acrylic cover are 12 scrapbook pages covered in cute 12x12 pattern papers. I love the print on the first page. It's titled Berry Christmas and has pretty flowers and holly.

Above, I created a fold-out page and added a striped pocket to the front flap. The pocket is a new die cut shape in the Bits & Pieces and has a cute circular cutout. I tucked the round Santa from the Bits & Pieces into the pocket and it framed his little face perfectly!

Inside the fold-out, I added the 12x12 Cookies and Candy plaid paper, a photo mat, and the stockings die cut from the Bits & Pieces. Did you notice all the toys, presents, and sweet treats in them? Such cute details.

On this page, I added the "All Spruced Up" paper and the Happy Holidays die cut from the Chit Chat. I love its scalloped oval shape. I also added some colorful tabs to the edge of the pages. They're from the Bits & Pieces and have words on them that say ... memories, traditions, and December.

Here, I made a round photo mat using a 4" and a 3.5" circle punch. Then, I created a flippie with white paper and a colorful sticker from the This & That sheet. I added the hot air balloon and stars from the Odds & Ends, and some of the Christmas Eve star shaped sprinkles for shine.

Isn't this pink Cookies and Candy paper pretty? I love the color and all the playful gingerbread. I used a 3x4 card from the Check the Halls paper to make a flippie and added a journaling card from the Merry Magic print inside. Then, a photo mat in the background and a sweet die cut finished the page.

The layout above is another fold-out with space for 4 pictures. On the front flap, I added a photo mat and the Santa's Toy Factory die cut from the Odds & Ends. Look how cute and colorful it is with the toys in the windows! And when you open it ... 

... this page is inside! The adorable elf and the Christmas tree are from the Odds & Ends. I decorated the cute striped tree with a star, some colorful candy, and tiny dots from the puffy icons stickers. 

A pocket is a great place to store extra photos and journaling cards. I covered this one in the Spot of Cheer paper, then added the blue Christmas Eve print in the background. I tucked some cute cards inside from the Merry Magic and Check the Halls paper.

❤️ the colorful string lights on this page! They're from the Chit Chat and to really make them shine ... I added some enamel Christmas Light shape sprinkles on top. I also made a flippie with the 3x4 Happy Holidays card. It's from the Merry and Bright print and the sweet Santa face is from the Odds & Ends.

I hope my December 25 Mini Album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Oh What Fun Collection. To see other projects I made with this adorable line, visit my Heart Shaped AlbumTruck Shaped Album or 12x12 Oh What Fun Layout.

OH WHAT FUN HEART SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello crafty friends! Traci here and today I'm sharing my new Merry Christmas Scrapbook designed with the adorable Oh What Fun Collection and my clear Acrylic Heart Shaped Album. This mini is so cute for holiday photos and would make a super special Christmas gift for someone you love! ❤️

Oh my goodness ... look at this cover. Doodlebug is just the cutest! To make it, I chose the 12x12 All Spruced Up plaid for the background, then added some colorful presents from the Odds & Ends on top. Next, I punched a 3.5" scalloped circle out of lily white card stock and layered the Santa circle die cut on top. It's from the Chit Chat. Then for a little holiday sparkle, I added some glitter enamel dots to the gifts and the Merry Christmas banner. 

Inside, I covered each page in a different 12x12 pattern paper, photo mats, and more adorable embellies. Above, is one of my favorite prints called Cookies and Candy. I just love the cupcake pink color and the little gingerbread men! 

The wreath and the "Santa Season" are both die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. If you look closely at the wreath, you'll see a pink star on the bow ... it's from the Christmas Eve shape sprinkles. I also added some ornaments with glitter enamel dots. Beautiful!

I covered this page in the other side of the All Spruced Up paper that's filled with colorful trees. Then, I created a photo mat using a 3.5" scallop circle and 3" circle punch by Marvy Uchida. The "sweet" little gingerbread is from the Bits & Pieces and the word bubble is from the Chit Chat.

Ohhhh, I love the string lights on this page! I used the 12x12 Snow What Fun paper in the background and created another photo mat. Then, I found 2 little red birds in the Odds & Ends that were perfect for holding up the lights from the Chit Chat. I added the enamel Christmas Lights shape sprinkles on top of each bulb, and now they're ready for the holiday!

No Christmas album would be complete without Santa and Mrs. Claus. To highlight them, I added the subtle polka dot pattern in the background called Here Comes Santa. Then, I added the cute couple from the Odds & Ends and another photo mat.

Doodlebug incorporated the fabulous bubble blue color into this collection and I am here for it! Just look how cute this 12x12 Christmas Eve paper is with its little winter snowflakes. It's so beautiful next to the flowers, holly leaves, and berries.  

Also, did you notice the shiny snowflakes above? They're die cuts from the Odds & Ends and I added enamel sprinkles from the Snow What Fun shape sprinkles on top. They glisten! 

This collection has such gorgeous colors and fun Christmas images. It's perfect for all your holiday papercrafts whether you make cards, scrapbook layouts, or mini albums like me! These products are sure to make you feel all the happy holiday vibes!

I hope my Merry Christmas Heart Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something special with the Oh What Fun Collection.

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. 😊
