6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP XOXO ALBUM | with Tarrah

Today, I have a recap of my love themed Doodlebug Design 6" x 8" album using the Bubblegum color album together with the gorgeous Lots of Love collection. My favorite part of my album would have to be the front cover, I just love pink, red and white together and how can you go past that cute teddy bear with the balloons right?

Some detail photos below of the front cover.

I loved that I could add some detail to the name plate on the spine.

My front page has a heart cut file on it with some papers backed behind the cut file. I added my title and a banner to begin the theme of my album.

Below is the 'Sweet' themed double spread I created using an album chipboard cover and some album pocket pages. The pocket pages are perfect for adding small photos and smaller embellishments.

The spread below features one large pocket page on the left with a jar of hearts cut file and the right hand side holds a photo mat and some embellishments from the die-cut packs, Chit Chat, Odds and Ends and some This and That stickers.

The below spread has the pocket page on the right with all of the hearts added and the left hand side holds a large photo with some Chit Chat and Odds and Ends die-cuts.

The right-hand side pocket on the page below holds some sweet Valentine's cards and love notes my partner and I have exchanged, because of the whole letter theme for this spread, I just had to use the envelope/delivery embellishments.

The 25 Things I Love About You journal card was the perfect addition to my album, I was able to write down 25 things that I love about my partner and I love that we can look back on this in the future to remind us.

The below spread is my floral spread, I loved adding a few flowers to this spread in the form of a mixed size pocket page.

I loved adding elements like machine stitching and cut files to my album, I love that the machine stitching adds some texture along with Doodle Twine and I love how cut files really help with designs and filling pages.

I absolutely LOVE anything to do rainbows so I had to feature a rainbow page. The below chipboard cover features a photo on a photo mat with some rainbow embellishments and I created a pocket to be able to pull out that might hold extra photos and/or journaling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see the recap of my 6" x 8" album! I hope you get the chance to add some memories and pretty things to your album, we would love to see yours! Make sure to tag Doodlebug on socials so we can see! Happy creating!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - XOXO ALBUM PART 4 | with Tarrah

Today I am back to share some more pages from my Bubblegum 6 x 8 album and I have continued using the gorgeous Lots of Love collection throughout my album, I love this collection to document the love between my partner and me.  If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here and my pages posts here and here.

I decided that my title page would have a heart background cut file and I also placed the "So Happy Together" Chit Chat die-cut title over the top of the cut file and also added the heart banner Chit Chat under the title. I backed the hearts in the cut file with some papers from the 6" x 6" paper pad.

For this next spread, I chose a rainbow theme. On the left hand side I made a pocket to be able to pull out extra photos and journaling and added a rainbow Odds & Ends piece to the top. I added a rainbow envelope Doodle Pop to the front ( aren't they just the cutest?) and also some Bumblebee Doodle Twine along with some puffy stickers.

On the right hand side, I added one of the long journal spots to the far right and then a 3" x 4" card on the other side, I also added some small puffy hearts to the card.

For this next spread, I used a pocket on the right hand side and a clear pocket page on the right. I made this one the heart hot air balloon theme. I added the large "25 Things I Love About You" journaling paper on the far right, adhering it to the top of the pocket on the right. I took another 3" x 4" card and adhered that next to the journaling card. I added a photo here and popped up the "Love" title with craft foam.

It didn't take me long to write 25 things I love about my partner hehe!

On the left hand side is the clear pocket page, at the top I added a photo and stapled a banner die-cut and added the You & Me arrow. I also added some hearts in a die-cut and some puffy stickers. On the bottom section, I added a paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad and placed some stickers from the This and That sticker sheet, I also added some die-cuts here as well.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - XOXO ALBUM PART 3 | with Tarrah

Hi everyone! I'm back with more pages from the inside of my 'Love' themed Bubblegum 6" x 8" album. I decorated 4 pages and decided to add some cut files together with the Lots of Love collection - one of my favorite combinations! If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here and my first pages here.

The left hand side is a full 6" x 8" pocket, I added a jar cut file and backed the hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I adhered it to the pink cardstock inside the pocket. I added the jar die-cut to the bottom right corner and took some titles from the Lots of Love Chit Chat pack and placed at the top of the jar. I also placed a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet under the title.

On the right hand side, I used one of the chipboard dividers and created a large photo mat and after placing my photo, added some die-cuts at the bottom and a phrase banner die-cut at the top. On the tab on the divider I added a tab sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

My next spread consists of more pocket pages and the back of a plain white pocket page and I decided to make this spread a 'Sweet' theme! On the left, I added another cut file, backing the letters and hearts using papers from the Lots of Love 6" x 6" paper pad. I then added some die-cuts that were sweet themed.

I also added the phrase banner die-cut to the centre and some die-cut hearts all using craft foam to add some dimension. I love how the colors pop against the white of the cardstock.

On the right hand side, still keeping with the 'Sweet' theme, I used a 4x pocket page with the sizes of each pockets measuring approximately 3" x 4". I love that you can add photos and papers or mix it up and add both like I did! I added some cute die-cuts right over the top of my photo as well.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - XOXO ALBUM | with Tarrah

Have you seen the new gorgeous 6" x 8" albums? They are sooo beautiful and come in 14 different colors. I was lucky enough to pick the color I wanted to work with and if you know me, I absolutely love PINK, so I chose the Bubblegum album and today I am sharing how I decorated the front cover.

I decided on a love theme for my album, to celebrate and document photos of myself with my amazing and fairly new partner for life! First up I raided my ribbon and trim stash and pulled out the perfect white heart ribbon which I adhered to the left side overlapping the pink spine. I then added puffy hearts in the open spaces of the ribbon. I used red and 2 different pink puffy hearts.

I trimmed a strip from the Lots of Love Hugs and Kisses paper and adhered that flush to the spine of the album. I then took the Ladybug Chunky Twine and tied it around the album, I added a Little Charmer from the Happy Healing collection and also a Bits and Pieces die-cut from the Lots of Love collection. I also added a cardstock sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

For the metal plate, I added a tag piece from the 6' x 6' paper pad and also added a puffy heart to the left to cover the circle of the tag. I wanted to keep the cover in the colors of pink, red and white as I feel it really pops!

Back to the top of the album, I took the XOXO title from the Chit Chat die-cut pack and adhered it to the centre of the front cover using foam tape. I then took the bear holding the balloons die-cut from the Odds and Ends pack and adhered it covering the first blue 'O' of the XOXO. I added some more little Chit Chat pieces and I took some of the larger hearts from the Bits and Pieces pack and adhered those to the front cover too.

Stay tuned for future posts where I will be sharing how I have added some memories and decorated the inside of the album! I love how my cover turned out, make sure you get your hands on some of these gorgeous albums, remember there are 14 colors!

LOTS OF LOVE YOU HAVE MY HEART MINI | with Conny

Hi, it's Conny! Today, I'm sharing a mini album I created for my daughter Savanna. I used the Lots of Love collection to document her cute little face and let her know how much I love her with a special letter at the end. To make the album, you'll need three pieces of chipboard: - two covers measuring 6.5" x 5" - one spine measuring 6.5" x 1"

I started by wrapping the chipboard in the textured cardstock from the Lot of Love collection. Then, I used my sewing machine to add stitching to the covers. To bind the covers together, I used a piece of cardstock measuring 11" x 6 3/8". This also covers the chipboard on the inside of the album.

The binding is really easy - I used two standard eyelets at the top and bottom of the spine in the color pink and tied a stretchy string to keep the cards together. I got the cards from the Lots of Love coordinating card and envelopes assortment. The cards are 6 1/4" x 9" and scored at 4.5" on the longest side.

I just had a blast creating a heart shaker for the cover page of my project. To make it even more eye-catching, I spiced it up with some chit-chat, bits & pieces, and sprinkles. It looks stunning now!

Inside the album, I used some pretty patterned cardstock paper from the collection. I added my favorite photos and some fun embellishments to each page to make it pop! I hope my project inspires you to get creative and make something special too!

We can't wait to see what you create using the Lots of Love Collection.  Xoxo

LOTS OF LOVE SHADOWBOX MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends!  I hope everyone enjoyed Valentine's Day yesterday! If you took a couple pictures, I have a fun mini album to share with you today!  And even if you don't have Valentine pictures, this would be a fun project for any photos of people you love!

For this album, I used the adorable Lots of Love Shadowbox kit and an 8x8 Acrylic Artsy Album.  I really enjoyed creating the cover!  It's very relaxing to place each of the pieces using the simple template, and I love the texture it gives to the front of my album.  

For the page above, I added a nice big photo mat to the pretty All My Love paper, and embellished with Bits & Pieces, Odds & Ends, and Chit Chat.  I love the little tags and chunky twine sticking up over the top!

More Bits & Pieces helped give the next page the feeling of a photo being tucked into a bouquet of flowers.  There's even a tag for journaling or a sweet sentiment. 

It wouldn't be one of my minis without a pocket!  I added a little shine to this one with the rainbow and heart shaped sprinkles from the Love Is In the Air pack, and then I tucked in cards, journaling spots, and a photo mat.

This page includes one of Doodlebug's cute bubblegum envelopes, a pocket for more tags, and a Bouquet of Love Doodle-Pops! So much texture and dimension on this fun page!

I really love this page.  Since the page itself is 8"x8", I was able to adhere a full sheet of 6x6 paper to the center.  I used the sheet with all of the little cut apart cards and turned 11 of them into little photo mats.  I think lots of tiny pictures will look so cute here!

That little birdhouse hanging from the limb so tooo cute!  It's from the Odds & Ends die cuts, and so is that colorful rainbow.  Hearts and scallops and stripes on one die cut? Yes please!

I layered the mailbox die cut over the one on the front of the 3x4 card to add some dimension to the page above.  That card is also a flippie so extra photos can be tucked inside -- 4 photos on one page! I love that!

I hope you have "Lots of Love" for my mini album and will consider incorporating the shadowbox kit into the cover of your next album!  Until next time, happy crafting!
