Halloween Candy Carnival Mini Album

Can it really be October? Cooler temps, candy shopping, and Halloween costumes already? Where did the year go? Well, I'm glad I have Candy Carnival to help me get ready for the fast approaching end of the month festivities! I've done several mini albums with this fun collection and this one will be a gift!

 
I think mini albums are a wonderful gift since some families don't have the time or the desire, to create photo keepsakes for themselves. They want to save the memories, but maybe they aren't paper-crafters, hate the smell of adhesive (lol!) or have never heard of Doodlebug Designs (gasp!). We need to help!
 

 
That's when you make a mini album for a gift! The recipients will love such a fun and unique way to save their memories! For this one, I used several of the 4x6 journaling cards to add lots of fun spaces for notes. I also added stickers from the This & That sticker sheet on the tabs for a cute pop of color down the right edge.
 

 
I love how the star sprinkles give the pages extra shine and color!
 

I just love the Odds & Ends in this collection ... cutest costume kids ever! I hope I've inspired you to make some mini albums for gifts. Trust me, the recipient will be amazed with your creative and thoughtful gift!

Candy Carnival Halloween Tabbed Scrapbook Mini Album

Hey guys! It's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week I made a tabbed Halloween mini album using THREE adorable Doodle-pops. I'm so proud of myself for using so many in one project! I'm such a hoarder of them (lol) but, I did it ... and I love how they they look!
Candy Carnival Halloween Mini Scrapbook by Artsy Albums

I designed this with Doodlebug's Candy Carnival Collection that has the cutest holiday images and bright happy colors. I also used one of Doodlebug's Plain & Simple Tall Chipboard Albums that's 4.6 x 8.5 inches (product links below).

On the cover, I added colorful pattern papers and stickers from 2 different Doodle-pops - Edward and Silly Spiders. I don't know which is my favorite ... the googly eyed spiders or the little costume kids!

Inside, I covered the white pages with more 12x12 papers and added flippies, pockets, journaling cards, and photo mats. I chose the Hazel Doodle-pops for the center of the page on the right so she'd peek through the window on the cover when it's closed.
 
At the bottom, I created a pocket with a 3x4 card and added some tags for photos and journaling. Then, embellished with a few candy shape sprinkles. For the tabs, I covered them in tickets that I cut from the Candy Carnival paper. They were a better size than the die cuts.

I also used lots of cute icon stickers throughout the album. I cut some of the starburst stickers in half so I could use the other piece on another page.

So many whimsical polka dots, stripes, and stars on these pages. I added more cute icon stickers, a few die cuts from the Chit Chat, and the little purple bat from the Edward Doodle-pops

I love adding fun interactive flippies to my albums, so above ... I made one with the BOO card creating more photo space on the layout. And do you see the tiny frog from the Hazel Doodle-pops? Adorable!
 
This is one of my favorite Halloween collections from Doodlebug. The colors are amazing and I just love how bright this mini album is. I hope I've inspired you to have fun with the Candy Carnival Collection, and ... your Doodle-pops! If you're like me, you may have to buy 2 so you can use one and hoard one, LOL. 😉
