Hey Cupcake Birthday Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hey guys! It's time for my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this one is just adorable. I made a Happy Birthday Mini Album that looks like a colorful present with a big bow. It's such a cute keepsake for photos of a celebration, family and friends, decorations, fun activities, and ... the yummy cake!

I designed this with the Hey Cupcake Collection that has beautiful colors, balloons, gifts, cupcakes, flowers, a pinata, and candy. It also has the cutest animals like kitty cats, birds, a hedgehog, and a ... pink llama!!

On the cover, I made a bow, using a Lori Whitlock cutting file called 3D Bows and the Petite Prints Dot and Stripe in swimming pool. I added a Pink Strawberry Braddies to the center and a little tag made with the All Occasion Doodle Cut Mini Tags and the Birthday Girl Stamps Set (product links below).

But, the star of the show are the Doodle-pops! How stinkin' cute are they? I love the layers and shine they add to the cover. They're called Birthday Girl and Party Llama. Lol! ... party llama 😂 

Inside, I covered the pages with colorful pattern papers from the 6x6 pad. On this layout, I added a flippie that I made with one of the 3x4 cards from the 12x12 Birthday Bash paper. And there's the cute little hedgehog!

  

 

Above, I created another flippie but this time I used a dark pink card from the Hey Cupcake Assortment Cards and Envelopes. I added the plaid and white card stock on top, then decorated with icon and This & That stickers. Inside, there's room for 2 photos.

Next, I made a fold out page using the colorful striped paper and a pink sprinkle pattern. I matted the round Happy Birthday This & That sticker with scalloped and circle punched shapes, then added a pink jewel.  

 

Open the fold-out and you'll see ...

... this fabulous little cake icon sticker with a cute strawberry on top. I added a white photo mat, the Let's Celebrate die cut from the Chit Chat, and two banner pieces I cut from my scraps.

Here's a great way to add extra storage to a mini album. I punched holes down the side of an orange envelope and added it to the binder like another page. You can save all kinds of goodies in it. Then on the back, I added a white photo mat and more icon stickers. Hello cute little animals! 

How FUN is this mini album? I love the idea of having an entire album dedicated to a birthday celebration. It would be great for a birthday party, a weekend getaway filled with fun activities, or a special year when someone turns 16, 21, 30, or 50! It would also make a fantastic gift idea.

A pocket is a great place to save extra photos, notes, or memorabilia like ... an invitation, birthday cards, tickets to an event, a small piece of gift wrap or the tag from a special gift, or a brochure from an activity. 

 

I love a scalloped edge ... it just feels girly! So here, I trimmed the llama paper with border stickers from the This & That sheet and made my own embellishment. I used a scalloped punch and a circle punch for the shapes, then added some "sweet" icon stickers. The sentiment is from the Chit Chat (links below).

So ... what do you think? Isn't the Hey Cupcake Collection fun and cute and colorful and fabulous?! LOL! I love it and I hope my Happy Birthday Mini Album gives you a little inspiration for saving your birthday memories.
