Doodlebug Booville Scrapbook Pages for Halloween

Hello there!  I'm on the Doodlebug blog today with three fun layouts using Doodlebug's newest collection for Halloween called Booville!  Every year I fall more head over heals in love with the latest Halloween line and this year is no different.  I was so excited by the addition of the color pink that I couldn't resist scrapbooking several pages using photos I've been holding onto for years.

For my first page I isolated the purple, green and aqua papers from the collection to match these photos of my oldest daughter.  She dressed up as a classic comic book character so I created a simple grid design to ground my focal point images and cute stickers.

This collection includes some super cute eye sprinkles which look cute all on their own, but even cuter when layered over critter stickers and doodle pops like I did for the little bat and frog.

For my next layout, I kept things simple.  Sometimes I have some pages where it's more about getting my pictures into albums for us to enjoy and not spending endless hours on my embellishments.  This was the case with these, but thanks to all the adorable papers and die-cuts in the collection my page can still be cute.

For my little patch of pumpkins I mixed the die-cuts from the odds and ends pack with two doodle pop pumpkins.  A custom title with the new Abigail alphabet stickers completed my page.

For my last page I was inspired by all the houses dressed up for Halloween in the border along the top of my layout.  I recreated the scene on a larger scale on the bottom of my page using the cute die-cut houses from the odds & ends pack.

I typed up my journaling on my computer and printed it out on vellum so that it could be fairly invisible on my page.  I then layered it with the cute trick or treating boy and girl and hand stitched a simple line to hang my spider sprinkle from.

All of these pages came together super quick and could be easily recreated in an evening.  I hope I've inspired you to pick up this adorable collection and get some of your favorite Halloween memories recorded too.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Doodlebug Woman Cave All About Me Scrapbook Layout

Hello Doodlebugs!  It's Mendi here with a layout showcasing one of my favorite rooms of the house... My woman cave as my family affectionately likes to call it.

I keep an album filled with all the layouts I've created about myself as a special keepsake for my girls and I've actually scrapbooked quite a few over the years.  However, when we were asked to create a project about ourselves this month I realized I had never documented about where I spend the majority of my waking hours.

I thought Doodlebug's Yankee Doodle collection was a great collection to turn to because the blues are the perfect compliment to my walls--In fact I used a piece of Doodlebug cardstock that I took to the paint store for them to match when we built our house.  ;)  I was super happy when I realized the cute jars from the collection would also be perfect for a layout about my space.


For my title I paired the Skinny alphabet stickers with some words cut out from red vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo.

As a finishing touch I added the "home sweet home" sticker from the 12x12 this & that sticker sheet.  I literally squealed when I saw it because it couldn't have been more perfect.

I hope I've inspired you to document and scrapbook some favorite spots where you live.  My Mom took some photos of me sitting in the middle of my messy room as a kid and they are some of my favorite pictures.  They are a fun peek into my childhood with all the memories that flooded back of toys I had completely forgotten about.
