6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER MINI PART 3 | with Nathalie

Hey there! I am having so much fun working away my past December memories in my Cupcake 6x8 Album, I really hope to get it all done before the new Holiday season arrives. Today, I wanted to share a few entries of my journal with you ! If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, and my first pages here.

I love transparency and different size/configurations for my documenting. So, I had to reach for the acrylic page from the Tinsel Time collection for these spreads.

I kept the photos in a simple photo page, taking advantage of the 3x4 journaling cards in the Tinsel Time collection, but decided to build my own card as the divider/title page for this spread.

I trimmed the transparency smaller than the standard size of the page. Then, I combined one of the 3x4 journaling cards, paper, and a Doodle-pop to make the card. I glued it to the center of the acetate, and then trimmed the title from the 6x6 paper pad.

I am taking advantage of the back of the transparency to start my next spread. So, once again I am using it as my title/journaling page for the next spread, in an interactive ways.

This time, I am using a piece of one of the envelopes from this collection to create the flap behind the title card. I had to make sure that the space used pretty much match the other side, so creating a flap just worked perfectly here.

I pulled elements from the title/cover page to complete the photo part of the spread. I am going for another interactive element for this page. The little pockets hold photos of my family. I added uniformity by repeating elements in each pocket, and used the leftover pieces of the envelope to create the small banners.

I hope this inspires you to pull your Doodlebug 6x8 Albums and start adding your memories in them. You are going to love the versatility it adds to your documenting. XO

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 PART 3 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I'm back with the first monthly pages of my 6x8 Hello 2025 Mini Album!  If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, and my quarterly dividers here. As I previously mentioned, one of my goals this year is to get back to documenting both the everyday and special moments.  I created a couple of page spreads for my January moments... take a peek...

I designed my album cover and dividers to coordinate with any Doodlebug Design collection, to give myself lots of flexibility. I love that it's so easy to mix & match collections!   I decided for my January pages that I would use the primarily the Snow Much Fun collection.  After all, I live in New England and it is cold! 

I thought it would be fun to add a calendar element to my book.  I downloaded a 5x7 printable calendar from Etsy (link listed below) .  I used the All Occasions Everyday, All Occasions Holidays and Special Delivery Doodle Stamps to document activities though the month.  I backed my calendar with papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection and embellished with some Mini Icons and Shaped Sprinkles.

My first photos are from New Years of course! These photos made me laugh... quite the difference between what the 20-somethings and the 50-somethings do on NYE!!   I started by layering some papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection.  I added some Acetate fireworks from the Hometown USA collection and some Snow Much Fun Puffy Stickers in their centers.  My title was done using some Silver Alphabet Soup Stickers.

My next pages were created to highlight some of my favorite photos from the month.  

For my first page I started with papers and a border sticker from the  This & That Stickers from Snow Much Fun.  The January sticker is from the Day to Day collection, and "moments" was done using Teensy Type Stickers.  I printed some favorite pics from the month, and added them with some frames created with a die from my stash.  I embellished each photo with some stickers and sprinkles from various collections including French Kiss and Party Time.  Again, I love how easy it is to mix and match collections!

My last page holds some of my favorite photos from the month!  I got to babysit my bestie's grandson.  He is just the happiest, cutest little man!!!  I backed my phots on papers from Snow Much Fun and then added stickers from Special Delivery.

I'm really enjoying documenting all the big and small moments of 2025!  The smaller format makes it easy to keep up with, and the standard color palette of Doodlebug collections makes it so easy to mix things up!  Be sure to keep checking back all this month for more 6x8 Mini Album Inspiration!  Have a great day!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 3 BUNNY HOP ALBUM | with Conny

Hey everyone! It’s Conny here, and I'm super excited to dive into the inside pages and pockets of this adorable 6" x 8" mini album with you today! If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, we already had fun decorating the cover—you can find that blog post linked here, along with some other fun pages! Once again, I’m using both the Hello Again and Bunny Hop collections for these pages. Let’s get started and have some fun!

I used one of the pocket dividers and 3" x 4" pocket pages for my first spread. For the divider on the left, I started with the Hello Again Collection's paper titled "The Bright Side." I trimmed a 2" x 8" piece and adhered it to the left side. I wanted to incorporate paper doilies, and the color coral matches the collection perfectly.

I backed my photo with two papers from the collection, leaving about 1/8" of an inch around the edges. Additionally, I die-cut butterflies using the Doodle Cuts Butterfly Wishes and added the Bit of Happiness Doodle-pop since it was her birthday.

To the right of the pocket page , I added a flip page to the 3" x 4" card. For this, I used a piece of cardstock that measured 4" x 6"- scored at 3" inches on the 6" side. On this card, I added typewriter embellishments, and I also included a butterfly from another page along with a few Shaped Sprinkles. I added two photos of my family, along with the 3" x 4" card that says, "You make the world a brighter place."

On these next pages, I used mini doilies to create clusters featuring more butterflies, stickers, and gold sprinkles. I included two 3" x 4" photos of my little friend on wheels, along with a journaling card on the polka-dot divider.

We encourage you to join us in creating with the 6"x 8" albums. We look forward to seeing your unique creations! Additionally, be sure to explore the other projects and pages I have completed within this album for more inspiration.
