This may be a mini album but I'm going to stay it's a maxi because it has so many beautiful interactive pages for your photos and memorabilia!

There are 20 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 1 pocket page, and 14 (yep, fourteen!) interactive flippies like the wonderful Merry Christmas card above. Oh, I love the image on it with the reindeer, the envelope full of tickets, and the pretty holly berries.

Check out these 3 small flippies. I love the words on them - Believe, Wonder, and Magic. I think these would be the perfect spot for 6 photos of the littles with Santa. Try to capture their sweet and excited expressions.

I love a good pocket page. This one is perfect for holding all of these wonderful Simple Stories cards - use them as photo mats for extra pictures or journal on them. The pocket is also great for storing memorabilia like a letter to Santa, tickets, or special Christmas cards.

3D Pumpkin Decorations with Lori Whitlock

Happy Saturday! Today, I have a great project for the fall season that I shared over on Lori Whitlock's blog on Thursday. It's a beautiful group of 3D pumpkins that will add a fun shape and pattern to your home's decor. You can place them around the house, on a mantel, or cluster them together in a centerpiece for your dining table. Perfect for Thanksgiving!

3D Paper Pumpkin Decorations for fall

I created them using one of Lori's amazing cutting files called 3D Pumpkin Solid Panels (link below) and the Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection that she also designed. I made three and adjusted the size of the file for the last one by 30%. It's a little smaller and so cute!

3D Paper Pumpkin Decorations made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file

Each panel can can be removed so that you can place a small battery operated tea light inside. However, since I'm using them in a centerpiece with candles and vases, I left them out. With the cute papers and shape, they were perfect as is!

3D Paper Pumpkin Decorations for a table centerpiece

I used three 12x12 pattern papers called Plump Pumpkins, 3x4 Journaling Cards, and Crisp Fall Air. They're fabulous and look great with the solid card stock I chose in rust, orange, cream, brown, and green.

I hope these pretty pumpkins inspire your next autumn project. They make such a wonderful display. Lori's cutting files are simple and fun and ... there are so many great ones to choose from! Hop over to her shop today and have fun exploring. Happy crafting!

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder and the wonderful Bella Blvd, One Fall Day Collection. I am a huge fan of Bella Blvd and this new line is filled with fun!

12x12 Halloween Night Scrapbook Layouts with Doodlebug

Hi guys! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project that uses the adorable pastel colored collection called Sweet and Spooky. I made two 12x12 scrapbook pages that would be great for October photos and a night of trick-or-treating!

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Layouts by Artsy Albums made with the Doodlebug Design Sweet and Spooky Collection

I mixed lots of pretty 12x12 pattern papers and a few from the 6x6 paper pad. The addition of the cotton candy pink in this year's collection makes me so happy! #pinkpumpkin 💗

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with spider, web, stars, and pumpkins

I love the acetate die cuts in this line too! I added one of the cute little pink spider webs to the photo mat above. The transparency is so fun to work with.

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with pumpkins, stars, and a haunted house

This first page would be perfect for Halloween Night with pictures of spooky costumes, trick-or-treating, yummy treats, a party, or a fun evening at home with family and friends.

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with a cute haunted house, stars, and a moon

I added two colorful border stickers just underneath the haunted house. Which by the way ... is so cute! I also added some shiny puffy stickers - the stars and moon worked great here.

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with candy, pumpkins, stars, and a frog

For the second page, I created a geometric background design with triangles I cut from 5.75" x 5.75" squares of pattern paper. Then, I added some photo mats in different fun sizes and lots of cute embellishments.

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with a spider web, pumpkin, ghost, and stars

These pages would be great for photos of the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, making your own costumes, a school costume parade or class party, a visit to a scary haunted house or fall carnival, an office party, or your own very decorated home.

12x12 Halloween Scrapbook Page Layout with photo mats, a pocket, and a journaling card

I added a pocket to the backside of one of my photo mats and made a cute journaling card for the inside. But, you could add carnival tickets or a few small photos to it instead. 

I hope these pages give you some fun ideas for your next Halloween layouts. These would be such a cute addition to your 12x12 album and I highly recommend the Sweet and Spooky Collection. It will highlight your Halloween memories beautifully!
