Trick or Treat Halloween Acrylic Mini Album

Hi guys! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project, which is also ... this week's NEW kit! It's an adorable Halloween mini album titled Trick or Treat and it might be one of my favorites!! I had so much fun creating it. It's perfect for photos of October, pumpkins, carnivals, parties, and Halloween night. 🎃

To purchase the instructions for this album visit:

I designed this with the Doodlebug Sweet and Spooky Collection (links below) and I LOVE everything about it! The pastel colors are such a fun surprise for Halloween and the pink and lavender are amazing! The little Halloween characters are adorable too!

Trick or Treat Halloween Mini Scrapbook Album

I created this with my Acrylic Tall 4.5" x 6.5" Album in black, but ... I replaced the front cover with a piece of Doodlebug's Stardust acetate. It's covered in tiny pastel stars and dots. I think it's fa-boo-lous! I also did this for my Snow Day Winter Mini Album.

Inside, there are 16 pages that include 2 pockets, 2 folding pages, and 4 flippies. Above is one of the folding pages and I'm loving the stripes with the candy jars! And that cute purple haunted house card is a flippie with space for 2 photos inside.

How cute are these ghosts with the bows on their heads?! Lol, I love them! I made this into a little square page with space on the back for a photo or journaling. And just behind that is a transparent page I made with more of that pretty star-filled acetate!

No Artsy Albums scrapbook would be complete without a pocket so, here's one of the two that are in this mini. I filled it with die cuts that are perfect for journaling, photos, or memorabilia.

These pages are perfect for photos of a visit to the pumpkin patch, making holiday treats, a school party or costume parade, a fall festival, a hayride or a corn maze, carving pumpkins, a haunted house, a costume party, your spooky decorated home, trick or treating, and all the candy that was collected!

I added some fun die cut shapes that extend off the edge of the pages. You can use these as tabs to flip the pages, for journaling (add dates, names, locations, or events), or ... use them for photos!

I absolutely love the paper above with the candies, pumpkins, and stars. The pastel colors are beautiful and the little images are so FUN! Such a cute backdrop for those little trick or treaters.

Love You Lots Birthday Card with Lori Whitlock


Hello everyone! Today is Lori Whitlock's September Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I made a beautiful greeting card using one of Lori's creative cutting files titled A2 Card Theme Park Birthday. It's original design has a nod to Disney but you can easily change the papers and the sentiment and use this for ANY recipient / occasion like a holiday, a baby, a man, etc. So versatile!

Love You Lots Birthday Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file

I made the card using white card stock, 6x6 pattern paper from Echo Park's Life is Beautiful Collection (also designed by Lori), and a dark blue/pink solid 12x12 sheet from the same collection (links below).

I popped up the heart and the white panel for dimension and added a pretty coral twine around the top.
