NEW! Life is Better With a Dog Scrapbook Album Kit

Happy Friday everyone! Today, I have a colorful NEW mini album kit in the shop that's perfect for all my dog lovers out there. It's titled Life is Better With a Dog (so true!) and it makes a great keepsake for your sweet fur baby's memories and memorabilia.

Life is Better With a Dog Scrapbook Album for pet photos

I designed this with a 6x8 inch blue binder album by Doodlebug Design and the adorable Doggone Cute Collection. This mini is filled with images of silly pups and fun pet supplies like toys, bones, bowls, etc.

On the cover, I added the "Life is Better with a Dog" title. It's an acrylic scalloped piece that's a bit thicker so it gives the front a little dimension. I love that. I also added some hearts, stripes, and cute die cuts.

Next ... I tied a beautiful chevron ribbon into a bow along the spine, then added some red and white Doodlebug twine and a custom acrylic dog tag charm.

The album has 18 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 6 flippies, and space for at least 75+ photos. That's a lot of fun memories! On the first page (above), I added a cute flippie with a journaling card on the front and a colorful striped photo mat inside.

This page would be perfect for your pup's first photos. Whether you adopted them from a shelter, a friend, a neighbor, a breeder, or ... off the streets - save your photos from day one. You'll be so glad you did.

Pockets are great for saving journaling cards, extra photos, and memorabilia like ... a paw print, ID tags, license, birth records, pedigree papers, adoption receipts, pictures of their parents, fur, and awards or certificates.

On this fold-out page, I added a journaling card that's great for documenting your pup's birthday, adoption date, vet's name, breed, name and why you chose it, their favorite toy, treat, place to sleep, or park to play in.

This album works for one pet or multiple dogs, so ... go ahead and take those pics! Add photos of play time in the park, a bath, a fresh new haircut, crazy napping positions, car rides, clever tricks, and their favorite toy.

Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album - Part 3

Hi ladies! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project! It's the next set of pages from my Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook. If you missed my other posts, be sure to check out the cover and the first set of layouts. I designed them with a 6x8 Mini Album and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection. 

Winter Scrapbook Album Page with a fold-out element, snowflakes, flowers, and a cute reindeer

This first layout is a fold-out page and on the front of the flap, I added the pink snowflake print called Winter Wonderland. It has glitter accents so it's really pretty! I loved the cute 3x4 reindeer card, so he came next.

I adhered the card to the front of a flippie that I made with white card stock. Then, I added beautiful plaid photo mats inside. The 3x4 card and the plaid print are from the Cozy Cardigan pattern paper

Open the fold-out and inside, there are snowflakes, flowers, and a cute little rabbit. On the left, I used both sides of the Snowflowers with Glitter Accents paper and added the "winter" die cut from the Chit Chat.

On the right, I covered the flap in the pink Winter Wonderland paper. I created a mat from the Snowflowers paper to cover the backside of the flippie that was on the front. Then, added some Odds & Ends die cuts.   

Winter Scrapbook Album Page with a pocket, a tri-fold photo mat, snowflakes, flowers, and a cute yeti

This next layout is 1 of the 4 pocket pages that come in the album. I used the pink Winter Wonderland print on the base, then added the Snowflowers paper to the front of the pocket. I created a tri-fold card for photos and tucked that inside but you can also use the pockets for memorabilia.

Here's a look at the tri-fold card I created with space for 7 photos, front and back. I decorated it with the Polar Plaid paper (Frosty Friends Collection), a plaid scalloped border sticker (This & That), and die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat (links below).

Winter Scrapbook Mini Album Page with snowflakes and two cute snowmen

This layout is perfect for fun memories in the snow. I covered the page with a colorful snowflake print called Snow Wonder and created a photo mat out of the blue Nightfall paper. Then, I added a few snowmen and snowflake die cuts from the Odds & Ends and three word stickers from the This & That sheet.

The album comes with 10 assorted clear page protectors. Above is one that's divided into two 4x6 inch spaces. In the top section, I added the Just Chillin' snowman paper as a photo mat, a word bubble from the Chit Chat, some enamel heart shape sprinkles, and snowmen from the Snow Family shape sprinkles.

In the bottom section, I created a flippie with the 12x12 Sweater Weather print and added the arrow sticker. Then, I decorated the front and back edge with the pink scalloped border from the This & That sticker sheet.

Inside, I added 3 photo mats and more

I hope these pages inspire you to create your own memory keeper with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Next time, I'll be sharing my last five pages of this mini. Until then, happy scrappin'. 😊

I designed this with a Doodlebug Design binder in mint and the Simple Stories, Front Porch Collection. On the cover, I added lots of pretty papers and embellishments to create a very layered and collaged look.

Inside, I added some gorgeous flower die cuts and extended them off the top edge of the pages. Don't they look like they're growing out of the album or like they're pressed flowers laid between the pages? I love it!

Just inside the cover, I included a small envelope and added a camera and flowers to the front. I made a few photo mats / journaling spots and tucked them into the pocket.

The album has 12 scrapbook pages that include 3 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 7 flippies, and space for 38 photos on the pages and many more in the plastic pocket pages.

Here is one of the fold-out pages. The yellow gingham is the top flap which also has a flippie on the front. These pretty embellishments above are what you see underneath a folding card that says "Enjoy every moment". 💛

It would also make an amazing handmade gift for a birthday, Mother's Day, an anniversary, or a housewarming present.

I love the little detail on this page. I made half the layout a large flippie and folded the bottom corner just a bit to show off the pretty gingham paper inside. Then, I tucked a round journaling spot and a few flower die cuts behind the fold and added an enamel dot to finish it off.

Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album - Part 2

Hey guys! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. A few weeks ago, I shared how I designed the cover of my Build A Snowman Winter Mini Album. Today, I'm back to show you some of the super cute pages inside. I created this with Doodlebug's 6x8 Mini Album in swimming pool and the adorable Winter Wonderland Collection (product links below).

Winter scrapbook album page with 2 folding cards, snow, mountains, and a wood cabin

This is the first page and it's 1 of 5 chipboard tabbed dividers included in the album. I covered it in the pretty purple 12x12 Frosted Forest print and added a strip of the Cozy Cardigan plaid paper on top. 

Next, I created two flippies out of white cardstock and 3x4 cards from the other side of the Cozy Cardigan print. I love that these can hold 4 photos on this one mini album page!

Winter scrapbook album pages with snowflakes, snowmen, foldng elements, and a pocket with journaling cards

Here are pages 2 and 3. These winter colors, patterned papers, and sweet little characters are the cutest.

For page 2, I created a fold-out element on the backside of the tabbed divider. I covered the front of the flap in the floral Nightfall paper and added the polar bear die cut from the Odd & Ends. Then, I created another fun flippie with the 3x4 Hello card and added that along the edge.

Winter scrapbook album page with snowflakes, a cute moose, and colorful stripes

Inside the flap, I used the Snow Wonder snowflake paper, a pretty pink die cut from the Odds & Ends, and adhered the 3x4 Let It Snow card to the backside of the Hello card flippie.

On the right, I added the striped Just Chillin' paper, then created a photo mat out of the blue side of the Nightfall print. I finished the page with the adorable moose die cut. ... I just love her sassy side grin. :)

Page 3 is one of four pocket pages that come in the album ready to embellish. I covered the front with the cute snowmen print (Just Chillin') and added the Baby It's Cold Outside sticker from the This & That sheet.

Inside the pocket, I added a few photo mats but you could also save journaling cards and memorabilia here. Add tickets, postcards, notes, invitations, a small map, a recipe, greeting cards, an itinerary, a brochure, etc.

Here is page 4. It's a great layout for one fabulous photo. I used the Yeti for Winter paper in the background and layered a strip of the Snow Wonder snowflakes on top. I made 2 photo mats from the Frosted Forest print and embellished with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat. 

Winter scrapbook album page with divided 3x4 pockets for photos and cards

The album includes 10 assorted clear page protectors and above is one divided into four 3x4 spaces. I added two cute cards from the Cozy Cardigan print and two mats for photos.

I think page 6 may be filled with every one of the adorable winter animals in this collection! That cute background paper is called Snow Cozy. I added 2 photo mats on top and a happy Yeti die cut.

Above is 1 of 4 colorful card stock pages that also come in the album. I folded it in half to create an interactive fold-out page and added some cute Odds & Ends, making sure to leave room for a photo.

Flip that up and there are 3 more photo mats inside made from the polka dot paper called Hit The Slopes and white cardstock. 

I hope I've given you a few fun ideas on how to decorate these wonderful 6x8 Mini Albums. Next time, I'll show you even more pages from this winter scrapbook. Until then, happy crafting!
