6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Can you believe it's March already and what better month to finally showcase my completed 6x8 mini album! It's all ready to be filled with my family Valentine's Day memories all month long from February 1st to the 28th! I've been hoarding all the memorabilia that are going to be documented! Yay. And that way, when we want to look back, we have all the memories in one album, an album of love. There's a full flip through video at the end, double yay :-)

Let's begin with a showcase of my favorite pages! I loved creating this cover! It has so much dimension and textural elements to it, true eye candy! And as it's Valentine's themed, nothing beats candy!

Lots of Love is my FAV Valentine's collection in the history of Valentine's collections! I could create with it all year long! Just look at those super cute characters and blushed cheeks. Hello cute teacup and adorbs tea bag that comes out.

Let's look at the next couple pages over; the shaker pockets! I love to take out this page and give it a good shake and the side tab means I can turn the page more easily!

 

The pocket pages are one of the best features in these mini albums I feel because you can use them to create little areas for your memory keeping like journaling spots, shakers, name cards and spaces to add photos too, so many ideas!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

How was your Valentines, Galentines or love day! Whether you celebrated or not, welcome to the cuteness! Today I'm showing you my third glance inside my 6x8 mini Cupcake album. If you missed my previous posts you can see my cover here and my page posts here and here.  Today,  it's time to take a look into my darling cute and love mini album using the ever gorgeous Valentine's collection, Lots of Love! And of course, I have a video at the end because there is nothing like seeing the pages flip :-)

As you know these mini albums with a colourful fabric lay-flat spine come with so many fun pages including pocket pages, chipboard tabbed dividers and coloured inserts! So much packed into these albums from the start!

This is one of my favourite pages! I love the four pocket page where I've filled one corner with polymer sprinkles and Shaker Balls and layered a cute cluster of ephemera on top! Look at the XOXO, I've created this with the Skinny Cardstock Alpha stickers, fits perfectly in that journaling ephemera piece. And we cannot miss that cute cherry couple. Hello sugar!

There's also room to create your own page insert! Here I've used a 12x12 paper to do so. Fold and then fold inwards again and it creates a hidden foldout page, perfect for secret love messages and a top secret cupcake frosting recipe! Check out the video for the opening of this page ;-)

Above I've decided this album needed some textures, so I added in bits and pieces of vellum to soften areas so elements were given a platform to shine! Look how sweet the vintage telephone looks with it's stitched details, super darling!

As a double treat, not only its there a video on my featured pages, but I've left the last pages for you to see in the video showcasing! Enjoy crafty friends xx

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 3 LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! I can smell the chocolate and candies from here as we lead up to one of my favorite days to celebrate; Valentines! I am so happy to show you my next set of pages in my Doodlebug Design Cupcake 6x8 mini album! Let's jump into each page and if you'd like to see it move and turn, check out my fun video at the end of the post :-)  If you missed my previous posts you can see my cover here and first pages here.

The so happy page is directly behind the last page I showed, it's the chipboard divider and is perfectly placed! That cupcake doily is super sweet and the adjoining pocket page was fun to fill! The papers I've used here are Love You Bunches! Those single flowers are so cute! The Happy Valentine's Day banner has my heart! Darling!

Next spread over is the back of the pocket page and then the envelope from the coordinating Cards & Envelope pack! It's perfect for hidden journaling or photos of your love! I love pulling the cutest ephemera pieces out and going golden on the decorating. It's my fave part!

Next over is the back of the envelope with the large XOXO ephemera piece. You can slip a cropped photo here or some poetry. How charming! The Cloud Nine paper is next level adorable don't you think. Check out those poppin' Valentines Day balloons! I wish all balloons came with an adorable face.

Second to last page today is the card that goes inside the previous envelope! I've adhered it to the back of another chipboard divider and this card opens up for more hidden elements. It has a sweet tab inside to easily open up for more space. I love adding extra space and memory keeping areas. It holds a nice surprise when you look back on your albums.

There is one more page left but I've left it in my video below to see!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS LOTS OF LOVE ALBUM | with Niella

I Hope you've had a great start to 2025 crafty friends, it's the 2nd weekend of the year already and it's time to get some crafty time in! Yay! If you're after some new inspiration, you've come to the right place and to see the newest product from Doodlebug - 6x8 Albums! These are the perfect petite size to hold all your memory keeping, and as it's a new year, how about trying a new size! With 14 colors to choose from you'll have fun finding the right one for the right themed occasion. Let's jump straight into my album cover inspiration using the adorable Lots of Love collection! There's a fun video showcase at the end of my post as well :-) Super sweet!

The album color I've chosen here is the ever gorgeous Cupcake, it suits so many everyday occasions and celebration themes and I was so pleased how it all turned out! It's absolutely gorgeous with the Lots of Love collection. Full of love!

This decorated cover has lots of dimension and is full of delightful characters from the Odds & Ends pack... like the sweet mail bunny and the tiny pink snail with her flower! I set the mailbox behind the characters and used foam squares to help everything pop!

I love using my scallop scissors to cut along edges of the coordinating textured cardstock pack. Scallop edges give a soft dimension and with the gorgeous flower die cuts tucked in, it doesn't overwhelm the cluster but gives a softer display of happiness to the areas.

Layers of cuteness are created with the right sized Odds & Ends die cuts! Doodlebug Design Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces are packed to the brim with different sizes and pieces, you'll be spoiled for choice :-) Each piece matches and I've added them to this main cluster for maximum cuteness!

Have you spotted this sweet Cupcake colored mini doily! It fits perfectly along with the tiny stamp, cheery cherry and teeny tiny love heart! If you know my style, I adore adding all the details to all my projects. And that kisses sticker from the This & That sticker sheet is Sealed with a Kiss! Heehee!

Here is my video flip through!

LOTS OF LOVE SWEETHEART LAYOUT | with Erica

Happy Valentine's Day!  Are you looking for a fun way to use up some smaller scraps and some of your tools? Pull out your heart punches and start punching!

Using different sized heart punches punch out paper scraps from the Lots of Love collection. Layer them up to create some dimensional hearts and use your tiny attacher to secure them together.

Adhere the punched hearts to a piece of white textured cardstock that has been trimmed down to 11x11. Pop some of the layered hearts up on foam adhesive for even more dimension.

Fill in the open spots on your layout with Lots of Love Mini Icon Stickers, Icon Stickers and heart shaped sprinkles! I also added a few Lots of Love Odds & Ends to the center of some of my hearts and word stickers from the 12x12 cardstock stickers!

Mat your layout on 2 different pattern papers from the Lots of Love collection to help your layout pop and bring it all together! Use one of the Lots of Love Chit Chat pieces as your title! I placed mine right under my photos popped up with some foam adhesive.

I love how this layout turned out and I was able to use up some smaller scraps I had from past Lots of Love projects! I hope you give this design a try and are inspired to use up your scraps and punches! You could also change up the shape and do stars, circles or even butterflies!

LOTS OF LOVE VALENTINE'S BOX SLEEVES | with Karen

Doodlebug's Lots of Love collection is iconic. It is a collection I come back to over and over again. It is the perfect combination of beautiful and cute, saucy and sweet! And while it works great for Valentine's Day, it's one of those collections that can be used anytime of the year!

I decided to use it this time around for some little faux boxes for these cute little chocolate kisses that I wanted to make a little extra special. Sometimes constructing a box to fit another box can be a bit fiddly, so I decided to go with a sleeve instead.

They slip right over top! The lid is actually glued on, so when the recipient goes to take it off - surprise! The whole thing comes off.

The flower die cuts in the Bits and Pieces pack made the perfect toppers, layered with a bit of foam adhesive for some added dimension. Finally, I added a cute sentiment from the Chit Chat packs on each one and some coordinating Sprinkles for a bit of shine.

I really love how these turned out and I think they would be an awesome little gift any time of the year - and for Valentine's too! Hope they made you smile.  Thanks for stopping by! Hugs!

LOTS OF LOVE - LOVE YOU LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Hey creative friends! What do you get when you cross red, pink and blue together? The gorgeous Lots of Love collection by Doodlebug Designs that's what! I absolutely LOVE this colour combination and find it really easy to work with!!

I cut out 3 heart shapes from the 6' x 6' paper pad using some dies from my stash, I added craft foam underneath and adhered them to a plain white cardstock background. I trimmed down the white cardstock and adhered it to the Love You Bunches patterned paper. I then machine-stitched a border around the edge. I placed my photo over the centre heart and then placed 2 of the banners and the Love die-cut below my photo all from the Chit Chat die-cut pack.

Do you love Doodle Pops?! I absolutely LOVE them and just had to add those super cute Love Bugs Doodle Pops sitting on top of the banners! I mean how cute are they?! I added some clusters of florals tucked into a few of the hearts and in the top left corner I placed the cute branch and birdhouse die-cut from the Chit Chat pack.

I really like adding the words and phrase stickers from the This and That sticker sheet to my projects, I like how they help tell my story as I don't journal on my pages much. I chose a few to be used on this page and I also added the blue xoxo heart sticker to the left hand heart and the floral heart sticker to the middle heart.

I placed a few small flowers and heart cluster die-cuts around the page to add some colour and interest to certain parts of the page. I also chose a few enamel dots in different colours too and added these for some extra dimension and colour.

I love the shadows and dimension that are created when I add elements to my projects when I use foam tape. You can see some of the shadows in the close-up photo below.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Happy creating!
