SWEET & SPOOKY BOO LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Halloween is always one of my favorite times to scrapbook — the costumes, the candy, and all the spooky-cute vibes! Today I’m sharing a layout that captures all of that fun using the Sweet & Spooky collection!

For this page, I wanted the title to make a big statement, so I went bold with large 'Boo' titles in a cut file repeated across the page together with a spider web. The cut file was cut from black cardstock and each 'Boo' word is backed with different patterned papers from the Sweet & Spooky 6x6 paper pad — I just love how the mix of stripes, dots, and subtle prints add personality to each 'Boo'!

Some of my favorites include the soft purple stripes and the cute polka dots filled with Doodlebug’s signature colors.

To give each letter its own “spooky friend,” I added die-cuts from the Sweet & Spooky Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces packs — including ghosts, pumpkins, and even a worm! I also added puffy stickers, This & That stickers and also some gorgeous Doodle-Pops too. These playful touches really bring the layout to life.

The photo is from a past  Halloween night — my little ones dressed up in costume, ready for trick-or-treating! I printed it slightly smaller to allow plenty of room for embellishments and let the title shine.

I grounded the photo with a small cluster that includes a 'Halloween' banner, a cute gumball jar sticker, and a sprinkle of mini pumpkins from the Shape Sprinkles set. Every little detail ties into the sweet and spooky theme.

To finish the layout, I added a few enamel dots around the page, a 'So Much Fun' sentiment, and stamped the date below the photo. A simple hand drawn black border helps everything feel complete and keeps the focus on the bright, happy colors.

This layout makes me smile every time I look at it — it perfectly captures the fun of Halloween with that signature Doodlebug charm! Happy Halloween crafting!

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!

SWEET & SPOOKY TREAT CONTAINERS | with Karen

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Nope - not Christmas...it's Halloween. Now, don't get me wrong, I am also a HUGE fan of Christmas, but there is something so fun about crafting at Halloween that it is definitely my favourite crafting season. And with collections like Sweet & Spooky to work with, it's no wonder!

Today I decided to see if I could make some little treat containers with the Sweet & Spooky 6x6 paper. Often when I am making treat containers I use 12x12 paper, but I love the little detailed prints you can find on the 6x6 paper. And given that the treats you can buy this time of year seem to be getting littler and littler, it seemed like it could all be a cute little combination.

Well, what do you think? Cute? Each one of these bags is made out of only one sheet of 6x6 paper and fits two mini treats.

I embellished these with some adorable Doodle-pops and topped them off with a Mini Paperclip and some ribbon from my stash. They were really easy to make too! Want to find out how? It's your lucky day because I took pictures along the way.

Here's how to make them:

1. If your paper is directional, make sure the pattern is facing up. Score a 6x6 sheet at 2", 2 3/4", 4 3/4" and 5 1/2".
2. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise.
3. Score at 3/4" and 4 1/2". Turn the paper back to it's original orientation.

4. Take the top edge of the paper and fold it down. This will create the top edge of your bag. Create a wedge cut on the right side on the top tab only.

5. Along the bottom edge, you will see 3 small tabs that have been created by your fold lines. cut up the the 3/4" score line on each tab, creating a wedge cut on each. Completely trim off the one on the right side. The purpose here is just to make the bottom easier to fold together.

6. Use a bone folder to crease all your fold lines.

7. Add some glue to the long tab on the right side. Glue it to the opposite side of the treat bag to form the "cylinder". The little tab at the top that you created in step 4 should not be glued down yet.

8. Working with the little tab now, add some glue to the top of it and tuck it under the longer top edge.

9. Add some glue to the bottom tabs and fold them inwards. Take your bone folder and stick it inside to press down all the tabs.

10. Flip the bag over and pinch in the sides. This will take a bit of effort because there are a few layers of paper here.

Then fill them up and seal them with a Mini Paperclip like the Beetle Black ones I used! I also embellished this one with the cute Hello Sugar Doodle-pop, but there are so many in this collection you can choose from!

Let's see, I teach about 100 students - I wonder if I should make one for each of them?! Oh Halloween - here we come! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

SWEET & SPOOKY - HALLOWEEN GIFT BOX | with Miguel

Halloween is the most fun time, because of its colors and, of course, the beautiful Doodlebug collections. I loved working with the Sweet & Spooky collection... the colors are fantastic!

Today I created this beautiful box made from cardboard and covered with some coordinating textured Cardstock as the base. I then covered the sides with patterned papers from the collection.

And inside, this cute Halloween surprise couldn't be missing: a pumpkin for these holidays.

To decorate, I used lots of the Odds & Ends.  I also used shape sprinkles for a bit of shine!

Have a great day!

SWEET & SPOOKY - SPOOKY HALLOWEEN LAYOUT | with Nathalie

October is here, that means all things Halloween are popping everywhere! So, time to share inspiration featuring the fun and beautiful Spooky & Sweet collection.   I love the colors  and designs in this collection and wanted to use it to document photos from my little cousins on Halloween day.

I wanted a simple design that showcase color and design in a clean way.   I pulled a few papers and decided to build a cascade style layering for the layout.

I started by trimming the lilac cardstock from the cardstock assortment pack, this was trimmed to 11x11 and framed with the Taffy stripe paper.   I then pulled pieces from Moonlight Magic, Sweet & Spooky and Trick OTreat papers to create the long layers on the base.  

Once the layers were in place, I added my photos and anchor them to the page with a piece of the scalloped border from the This & Than sticker sheet.    I then used a combination of Doodle-pops, Chit Chat, Puffy stickers to add interest to the top half of the page above the photo.

I added the Spooky Manor Doodle-pop to the bottom of the paper layers and added puffy stickers and more phrase stickers from the This & That sticker sheet before building my title.

To finish the page, I used Chit Chat to create my title then added a few of the extra spiders from the Doodle-pop set to complete my page.   

I love how this turned out.  I am sure that this will inspire you to check the Spooky & Sweet collection and get your memories documented. XO

SWEET & SPOOKY HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN | with Kathy

I'm excited to kick off a week of Sweet & Spooky inspiration!  This collection is just so cute, I love all the little icons!  A couple of years ago I created a fun Halloween Countdown calendar, and gave it away to a friend.  I decided to create a new one using the Sweet & Spooky Collection so I could have one for myself!  Take a peek...

For the base of my project, I started with a step card cut file from Lori Whitlock.  I cut the file with some Beetle Black Cardstock from the Sweet & Spooky Coordinating textured cardstock pack.  

To create my scene, I pulled out my Haunted Manor Doodle cuts to die cut my haunted house.  I used papers from the 6x6 pad and some coordinating cardstock to build the house.  To embellish further, I added some acetate trees, ghosts and the moon from the Odds & Ends pack.  I also added lots of puffy icon pumpkins, spiders, stars...and of course that cute black kitty!  The Halloween word is from the Chit Chat pack.

For the countdown side of my calendar, I started with some Beetle Black Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers. To create my numbers, I cut 1"x1" pieces from the Stardust Heavyweight Acetate, and added some Alphabet Soup Numbers to each tile. They are held onto the base by a beetle black mini clip.

To hold all the numbers, there's a little pocket you can add to the back of the base.  I decorated it with a couple of stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet. 

Now I have my own countdown calendar!  As long as I don't get talked into giving it away!!  Be sure to stop by all this week for more Sweet & Spooky inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP HALLOWEEN DISNEYLAND | with Miguel

I hope you will enjoy my whole album.  I loved documenting the great moments I experienced at Disneyland Paris in my 6 x 8 albums.  Over the years these memories will last forever because of the hobby that reflects what I love doing so much SCRAPBOOKING! The Sweet & Spooky Collection was perfect to document my trip!

I hope, as always, my work serves as a lot of inspiration for you and you enjoyed the process of each page of my album and that of the rest of my colleagues. See you soon!
