I haven’t bought their Halloween collection in a few years - don’t really need it, but there are always some cute elements. I like the black cat in the pumpkin patch. Interesting that they’ve switched out the usual purple for pink. That will be divisive!
I’m interested to find out more about the albums even though I’m not really in the market for any. But I’m sure there will be people interested if they’re made from good materials and have wide spines. I don’t see much detail in the listing but some of the colors would work well for Dec projects if they hold enough pages.

It’s cute, especially the little charmers, but I have no use for any of it.
The albums don’t seem much different than SS Snap albums.

Doodlebug just isn’t for me. It’s too cutesy for me but if I was scrapping a little one, this would be cute!

Cute collection but I still have a lot left from past Doodlebug Halloween collections and their style doesn't change much. Plus I hate spiders even if Doodlebug makes them look cute.  The albums look nice but I don't need more small albums at this time. To be honest I am a Doodlebug fan and I'm kind of relieved there is nothing I *must have* this round because I already have so much of their stuff. |

Oh no, mini-albums are my weakness! I like the inserts that they come with, those cardstock pocket pages look like they might be fun.

I’m another person interested in what the albums actually look like as I use their 12x12 ones for my older projects and love them - they’ve held up very well for me.
Don’t need the Halloween collection as I dont scrap that holiday and I prefer their purple collections 😁
I might be able to use some of it though as our Disney trip falls between Halloween and Christmas so I might be lucky and get a bit of both….
I do love their papers though and will happily pick some of them up - per the ae thread they are larger papers but have smaller tone on tone icons and this is right up my alley!

The Halloween is cute, but nothing I need.
Not a fan of the smiley faces, all over a lot of their products.
I don't use mini albums, so no need for them.

Their stuff is cute but I just don't scrap that way. I don't imagine I'll end up buying any of the albums but I'm always happy to see another product in the 6x8 space.

I wish I had littles to scrapbook. I'd be all over this collection.
I always buy their packages of enamel stars. They are so versatile.

I use SNAP albums, and am happy with those, so I don't need any albums or pages.
The Halloween line is cute, but my Halloweens haven't been cute in years and years, so I don' have any way to use cute Halloween things anymore.

The lack of a cool color like blue or purple or a cool green really bugs me. The color combination is kind of glaring. I've like past years color combos better.
I have a lot of Doodlebug because their b-sides are really great. There are a couple of b-sides here I'll probably get.
I also don't like the faces on inanimate objects- candy doesn't need a face.
Like someone mentioned above, the cat in the pumpkin patch is really cute. I think that is the only thing I'll get. Maybe something with candy, because I have several candy stores I still need to scrap. But no candy with faces.

I am a longtime Doodlebug fan, but the aggressive color scheme of this collection misses the mark for me. There's just SO MUCH ORANGE. All of the colors are so bright that there's no place for the eye to rest. That said, there are a few tone on tone papers that would work nicely with previous collections, such as both sides of the Peek-A-Boo white ghost/black night sky paper, the white spiderweb side of Eek!, and the spiderweb acetate paper. I also think the hot pink/black B sides of Boo-tiful Bouquet and Sabrina's Socks could be fun for an 80s themed page. And as mentioned several times, that black cat on the pumpkin is freaking adorable. I also like the wrought iron gates/fencing in the ephemera.

The Halloween collection went immediately in my cart. I have recently gotten on the Doodlebug Bandwagon and I'm LOVING it all! I already have 5 sets of photos in mind for this collection! I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Although pink is my favorite color, IMHO a cool purple instead of pink would have been a better choice for the theme & an alternative to the default (stereotypical) feminine colors found throughout the industry. |

Thanks for your responses. I don’t use 6x8 albums & already have the same or similar of the couple non-themed patterns that I like in the Halloween collection. Nothing is added to my wish list.

Just got my hands on one of the new mini albums and it’s really nice. Similar quality to the SNAP album but I actually like the different inserts more in the Doodlebug album, especially the cardstock pocket pages.
I’m not a huge fan on 2 ring albums but I like the smaller spine for projects like October Daily, OLW.

Doodlebug just couldn't get any cuter, but I don't think I need any of this, which is a relief because I am deep, deep in the freezer right now. I'm set for albums at the moment. These do look appealing, but if I needed albums, I think maybe I'd rather try Citrus Twist Kits albums. They have been on my wish list for a long time. |

I pre-ordered the pink album, and I never pre-order. I love pink, I dunno, got a wild hair I guess.

I chose the Bubblegum. That bright pink color is one of my faves and I have accents of it throughout my scraproom. I didn't realize the albums laid flat until I watched Layle's video last night. I think I'll like that, but haven't received mine yet from ACOT.
