12x12 Trunk or Treat Halloween Scrapbook Layout

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. I have a super simple 12x12 layout that's made with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. It's titled Trunk or Treat and it's perfect for your Halloween photos of pumpkins, costumes, and spooky decorations!

To start, I used the 12x12 Plaid It's Halloween paper and layered lily white cardstock on top to create the base (product links below). Then, I gathered some of my scrap papers. This next part is great for using up those smaller pieces that you've held on to.

I used a 1 3/4" square punch by Marvy Uchida to cut 21 shapes out of a mix of 12x12 and 6x6 patterned scraps. I also punched a few images out of the Trick or Treat Tags paper. The candle sitting on the books above came from one of those tags.

Once I had the squares arranged on the page, I created two photo mats out of the pink Boo-tiful Bouquet paper. I added a few flower die cuts from the Bit & Pieces and some enamel stars from the October Sky shape sprinkles. 

I love this little pink car! Did you notice the little "boo" license plate, the skull hood ornament, and the headlights that look like eyes? Such fun details. It's from the icon stickers and the colorful "trunk or treat" is from the Chit Chat. So cute!

Every page needs a little shine, so I decorated the tree mini icon sticker with lots of enamel dots from the Trick or Treats shape sprinkles. It's the Halloween version of a Christmas tree! And sitting underneath, a cute pumpkin puffy sticker.

What a simple layout, right? I love it when a project comes together easily and you have such fun products to play with. The Hey Pumpkin Collection is perfect for Halloween crafts with its pretty holiday colors and adorable little characters. I hope my layout gives you a little inspiration!

Everyday Life Scrapbook Instructions

Isn't she pretty?! I designed this with a 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder in robin's egg and the Simple Stories, Noteworthy Collection. I love the versatility of this line with its beautiful colors, flowers, geometric designs, wood grain, stripes, and plaids. 

It also has images of vintage items like a typewriter, alarm clock, telephone, camera, office supplies, a globe, etc. But my favorite are the flowers. They're just beautiful, so I added a full package of floral die cuts to the kit.

Just inside the cover, I included this cute library pocket that makes a fun little spot for some journaling. Perfect for your family's name, the dates/year, the location, or whatever you like!

The album has 28 pages that include 2 fold-out pages, 1 pocket, 7 flippies, and space for 60+ photos. So, it's perfect for all your "little moments, big memories" and everything in between.

You could use this mini album to document your life throughout the year. It's pretty generic so you can add photos of birthdays, date night, coffee with friends, a favorite hobby, fun moments from work, or a short weekend getaway.

What about pictures of crafting time, family gatherings, girl's night out, or all the crazy happenings that are going on with your kiddos like school, a recital, or sports. This album is great for almost anything!

There are so many events that we attend throughout the year, like ... a wedding, a bridal or baby shower, a graduation, prom, a local festival, a play, or religious celebration. Maybe you only take 3-4 photos at each. This is the album where you save all those amazing and fun smaller memories.

My beautiful new Everyday Life Album is perfect for any "noteworthy" photo whether it's of family, friends, a holiday, a special event, travels, or happy everyday moments. The kit and premade will be available in my shop on Friday along with a second new project!

Thanks for visiting the blog and have a great day! 😍

Road Trip Scrapbook Instructions

I designed this with a 6x8 inch Simple Stories binder in lime and the Simple Stories Pack Your Bags Collection. It has vibrant colors and playful prints with flowers, hearts, clouds, location pins, luggage, globes, cars, airplanes, bicycles, hot air balloons, and taxis.

This scrapbook would be awesome filled with memories from one big vacation, but you could also add photos from many smaller ones. The album comes with tabbed chipboard dividers so the trips could easily be separated.

Inside, there are 20 pages that include fabulous stickers, brads, and enamel dots. There are also 6 flippies in different sizes that go in every direction, 2 pockets, and space for 60+ photos. Every page is fun!

It has a wonderfully generic travel theme so it's great for any vacation whether it's a road trip, a bus across country, traveling on a train, or flying around the world. It works for all memories from exploring a quiet countryside to sightseeing in the big city.

Pockets are a must in a travel album for all those small tokens you collect along the way. They're perfect for postcards, hotel stationary, a matchbook, travel stickers, brochures, tickets, a small map, business cards, foreign currency, itineraries, room card keys, boarding passes, or extra photos.

I've add some great cards for journaling so you can document your travels. Add your itinerary, the dates, places you visited, the sights you explored, and all the fun details.

If you know someone who loves to travel, this would make an amazing gift idea for Christmas, a birthday, or a graduation. Lots of people graduate in December and this would be a fun way to celebrate the next big adventure. Ohhhh, the place we will go!

This simple album kit can be assembled in a couple hours (or less!) and it's so much fun to create. Take it on a crop / retreat!

Halloween Haunted House Scrapbook Album

Hi friends! Today, I’m sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team Project. It's a fun Halloween Mini Album in the shape of a little house that's been haunted by flying ghosts, skeletons, grinning pumpkins, & one mischievous black kitty. It's a perfect project for your Halloween photos and a great gift idea!

I created it with Lori's wonderful cutting file called Hidden Binding Mini Album House and the Doodlebug Design, Happy Haunting Collection. It's mini icon stickers have furniture and home accessories that were perfect for this house album, and the size was spot on!

To start, I cut the base out of Bazzill card stock in raven black, then added some cute pattern papers and mini icon stickers. Lori's file comes with 2 pretty flowers and a front door but, I added some stickers instead to keep with the Halloween theme.

The album uses a hidden binding technique to secure the pages. That allows enough room in between for pop dots, stickers, die cuts, tags, twine, etc. And, it lays perfectly flat when closed! You can watch the assembly tutorial for it over on Lori’s YouTube Channel here.

Inside, I wanted 4 pages that were super sturdy so I cut 8 pieces out of black card stock and adhered two back to back to make each of my 4 pages. But, you could create this album with just 4 single pages.

I covered each page in cute Happy Haunting pattern papers and photo mats. Then, I decorated with the mini icon stickers. It's "frightful & delightful".

While I designed this as a Halloween themed haunted house, Lori's file could be used for ANY theme just by changing the paper collection. You could decorate it for pictures of family/home, a dog house, fall, a summer beach house, a cabin in the woods, or a winter wonderland in the mountains. It's so versatile!

On some of the pages, I added scalloped circular photo mats. To make these, I used a 3" scallop circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch.

This cute mini album would be great filled with Halloween photos of family, friends, the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, a party, a haunted house, a festival, a corn maze, awesome costumes, trick-or-treating, and loads of sweet treats!

This would also make an amazing gift idea for the holiday. Give it to a friend, teacher, babysitter, dog walker, or the hostess of a Halloween party. 

Look how cute this mini album is sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These are perfect for showing off your projects, especially around the holidays. They make great decor, and ... they're filled with your FUN memories!

Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too. I've made the suitcase, rectangle, flower, telephone, apple, and the tag shape and they are all so much fun.

I hope you like my Halloween version of this house shaped mini album and it inspires you to create one yourself. Until next time ... happy scrappin'!
