NEW! Don't Be A Scaredy Cat Halloween Mini Album Kit

Hi ladies! Halloween is coming, so today I'm sharing a peek into this week's spooky NEW scrapbook kit titled "Don't Be A Scaredy Cat". This wicked little album is perfect for photos of costumes, pumpkins, candy, and holiday fun. It will be in my shop on Friday along with the 5 new instructions I introduced yesterday. 

I designed this with the Carta Bella, Handmade Halloween Collection that features witches, black cats, pumpkins, haunted houses, skeletons, and spider webs. The color palette is very fall and perfect for Halloween with warm shades of orange, gold, rust, sage, and black. 

For the album, I used my Acrylic Mini Album 5" x 4.5" that has 2 black acrylic covers, 2 binding rings, and black cardstock pages. This little scrapbook is sturdy, chunky, and spooktacular!

On the cover, I really wanted a layered look so I added some fabulous patterned papers, a punched scalloped circle, a black acrylic circle for dimension, some twine, and lots of spooky stickers. I love the contrast of the dark haunted house against the lighter cream background paper. 

Inside, there are 20 scrapbook pages (10 double-sided) that include 3 fold-out pages, 3 pockets, 4 fun interactive flippies, and space for 32 ghoulish holiday photos. On the layout above, I added a plaid witch hat, a scalloped photo mat, and a rich terracotta colored paper covered in spider webs!

This is one of the fold-out pages. The front flap has an interesting shaped journaling / photo spot along with a scalloped embellishment at the top. Such spooky scary skeletons! And inside ...

... there's a fabulous plaid mat for a photo and a flippie with space for 2 more pictures. Tis the season to be spooky, so be sure to capture all those fun moments with friends and family.

What a great keepsake for your frightful October memories. It's perfect for pictures of a pumpkin patch, your home's decorations (inside and out), a haunted house, a fall festival or carnival, your costume and all its unique details, your pet dressed up, and a Halloween party filled with spooktacular props, food, and drinks!

Let's not forget the pockets! This mini album has three filled with journaling cards / photo mats. You can also save memorabilia here, like ... a party invitation, a wrapper from your favorite candy, or a tickets to a haunting holiday event.

 

Here's another page with a pocket but this one has a flippie on the front with space inside for 2 pictures.

Check out this eerie-sistable mini album on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It practically disappears! 👻 What a great way to show off your creative skills and your wonderful holiday memories year after year.

My NEW "Don't Be A Scaredy Cat" Halloween Scrapbook Album Kit (and premade) will be in my shop on Friday. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a beautiful fall day! 🍂🎃💛

NEW! Trick-or-Treat Instructions and Album Combo

Hey friends! Today, I've added a super cute Halloween project to the shop that's a brand NEW product for Artsy Albums. It's a Limited Edition Trick-or-Treat Scrapbook Instructions / Acrylic Album Combo. This DIY project includes my clear Acrylic Skinny Mini Album AND the simple, step-by-step instructions for my colorful new Trick-or-Treat Halloween Scrapbook. Buy the acrylic album, get the Trick-or-Treat Instructions for FREE! It's our first instructions/album combo! This is the only way you'll be able to purchase these instructions and once this project sells out, they will be retired. So, don't miss it! 

I designed this with a clear 3.5" x 8.5" acrylic album and my favorite Halloween collection by Doodlebug Design called Sweet and Spooky! I love, love, love all the cute candies, ghosts, owls, colorful pumpkins, haunted houses, and the beautiful pink and lavender colors.

I really enjoy creating albums with clear acrylic. The transparent covers allow me to play with layers and dimension. I adhered a few star die cuts to the front and matched them on the back. Then, I added some twinkly puffy star stickers in different colors.

I also added some colorful puffy stickers to the lower section to mimic the adorable candy covered paper on the inside. Don't they look cute?! 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 2 pockets, 1 flippie, and space for 20-25 photos. Above, I created a ghoulish flippie on the right with the lined journaling card. You can add the date, names, an event, the location, or a silly memory on the front. Then, add your fabulous photos inside!

I added tabs down the side of five of the pages. You can use these for fun holiday words, or to group your photos into sections like "Halloween Party", "Haunted House", "Parade", or "Trick-or-Treating". Another idea ... if you don't take a lot of holiday photos, add a different year to each tab and use each section for a few cute Halloween pictures for years to come.

Check out this colorful fold-out page. It has two cute tags and a bat with a sweet little smile. Inside, a boo-tiful pink haunted house, the moon, and space for "spooky fun" photos!

No mini album is too mini for a pocket. So, I created this cute one and filled it with more tags and cards for journaling and/or photos. On the front, I adhered 2 circular die cuts, then added some puffy shaped candy corn stickers on top.

And speaking of candy corn ... who says they don't grow on trees? In my Halloween town they do! 😊

This page is made with the Stardust acetate. I love the pastel twinkly stars, and again ... the transparency! It's a perfect spot for some photos, sandwiched back to back.

This album looks great sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand! Not only is it filled with your special memories, but it also makes cute holiday decor year after year. I love that! 🧡💜💛

As a reminder ... this DIY project is a limited edition. I'm selling the Trick Or Treat Scrapbook Instructions AND the clear acrylic album together! This is the only way you'll be able to purchase either one. When the project sells out, the instructions will be retired. Thanks so much for visiting the blog and have a wonderful day!! 😊

Witches and Kitties Halloween Layout with Doodlebug

Hey friends! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week, I created a cute 12x12 Halloween layout with the bright and cheerful Hey Pumpkin Collection. I'm a big fan of Halloween and Doodlebug, so today's scrapbook page was really fun for me. It's simple, colorful, and filled with lots of sweet smiling embellishments. Perfect for holiday photos! 🎃

I started with a sheet of beetle black cardstock as the base. Then, I layered the pink Boo-tiful Bouquet (8.5" x 11.5"), the colorful Hey Pumpkin stripe (7.75" x 11.25"), and lily white cardstock (7.5" x 11"). I adhered these towards the bottom of the page, leaving the black space at the top open for embellishments.

Next, I added the black and white scalloped This & That border sticker and the round October 31 Chit Chat die cut along the top. I filled the blank space in with more die cuts from the Odds & Ends, Bit & Pieces, and a few enamel stars from the October Sky shape sprinkles (links below). The cute little witch on her broom is my favorite. Love her sweet cat and the pumpkin filled with candy!

Once the top was decorated, I cut out three photo mats. The black mats are 3.25" x 4", the pink ones are 3" x 3.75", and your photos will be 2.75" x 3.5". Then, I tucked a cute little witch in behind the last mat and added the "Witches and kitties and ghosts, oh my" die cut from the Chit Chat.

I thought it would be fun to add a little dimension to the layout, so I weaved some beetle black Doodle twine around the mats to act as a web, then adhered a few small spiders to it. To complete the page, I added the fence, pumpkins, and ghost die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and they fit perfectly along the bottom.

This was such a fun and simple scrapbook page. I hope it inspires you to create something cute and colorful with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. Below are the links for the products used in this scrapbook page. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting! 👻

Making Spooky Memories Scrapbook Album with Jodi

Hi ladies! Today, I'm sharing another super creative project designed by Jodi Berg and I've added its simple, step-by-step instructions to my shop. It's a cute haunted house shaped mini album titled Making Spooky Memories that would be a faBOOlous keepsake or gift idea for holiday photos! 

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

Making Spooky Memories Scrapbook Instructions

Jodi used the spooktacular new Bella Blvd, Boo To You Collection (links below) that has super cute spiders and skeletons, black cats and pumpkins, and bright shades of orange, yellow, black, grey, and green.

She also used my Acrylic Dog House Shaped Album. I just added a new black version of this to the shop that is great for Halloween! It measures approx. 6x6, with the front cover and pages measuring 4.25 x 5.75". The album includes 2 black acrylic covers, 2 binding rings, 2 plain pages, 1 pocket page, and 2 fold-out pages.

Jodi said ... “When I saw the shape of the album, I knew I wanted to use a scallop die to create a roof. I just layered the scallop strips, leaving less showing of the gray scallop and added the fall leaves puffy stickers.”  

“Of course, the little haunted house needed a window so I used acetate and cut gray strips to create panes on top of the acetate. Then, I made a little spooky scene with the ephemera pieces and puffy stickers. I cut the spider web puffy sticker in parts and stuck it in the corner of the window.” ... This is so creative, Jodi!

Inside, she layered the black cardstock pages with a fun mix of pattern papers. Here, she machine stitched the candy corn strips and the black scalloped Doohickey sticker together, but you could just use adhesive if you don't sew. Then, Jodi added some adorable enamel stickers. She said ... “The Doodlebug candy corn shape sprinkles fit right over the candy corn border strip on this page.” So cute!

Look at this adorable pocket! On the front, Jodi said ... “I did a bit of zig zag machine stitching for a spooky look, then added the scalloped border sticker and Ephemera die cuts." She also made the cutest tags! She decorated the front and back of each with scalloped circles and lots of embellishments.   

This pretty page could be used for all sorts of October memories, like ... a visit to the pumpkin patch, the changing leaves, a family photo, a hike in nature, or a fall festival. Jodi layered the Boo Breeze print and the Bella Besties graph paper in oyster, then decorated with Ephemera leaves and a striped heart.

Ohhh, "the cuteness"! I love the sweet little ghost puffy stickers! Here, Jodi created a photo mat with a polka dot frame from the Ephemera Words and added the gingham tab just underneath. Then she embellished with the adorable broom riding ghost and some fall colored mini jewels. 

Check out Jodi's fun fold-out page that is purrfect! She added the quirky little Bella-pops cat called Spooky Kitty. Love her! Then, she cut the orange Bella Besties graph and dot print in a landscape shape, stitched it onto the Ghostly Garden polka dot paper, and decorated the front flap with a tree from the Ephemera Icons. Inside, space for 2 photos and more cute embellies!

Jodi's new "Making Spooky Memories" Album is such a wonderful keepsake for October photos and looks super cute sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. This fun project will surely have you looking forward to the holiday! 

The simple, step-by-step instructions for this scrapbook and the Acrylic Dog House Shaped Album are available in my shop. Product links below. Thanks again, Jodi. I love the way you decorated my acrylic album in such a unique and creative way! 🧡
