You know its a special collection when you have been saving a bunch of photos for years, just waiting for the right papers and embellishments to come around to scrap a memory! Well imagine how happy I was when Doodlebug release the Happy Healing collection! Perfect photos for this special little memory I have of my husband taking out my youngest daughters stitches years ago!

I had a lot of fun making this custom title of 'Doctor Dad" using some of the Chit Chat,  Bits and Pieces and the cute Ladybug Puffy Sticker Alpha. The silver - while hard to photograph- sure brings a bright pop of stunning color to this collection!  The addition of a cute red cross sticker from the Puffy Icons add a fun bit of dimension as well. I made my own clipboard with some Textured Cardstock and a tab punch that I used some silver metallic paper to make the clip. The awesome Silver Assortment Sprinkles add great dimension and I have sprinkled them throughout the page.


A couple of tags and a cute speech bubble peek out from the op of my photos and are tied  with  some bakers twine for interest. I love this bright red "Cross My  Heart" paper that the photos are mounted on. I added a little bit of my own "stitching" with some white gel pen accents. 

The bottom corner is decorated simply with just a cute phrase banner and  row of colorful hearts from the "Chit Chat" die cuts. The strip of "Candy Striper" paper along the bottom of the layout tie all the bright, happy colors of this page together nicely.


Finishing out the layout in the left, bottom corner are more decorations. I loved the darling doctor lab coat and it looked great peeking out behind my photo. My daughter was indeed "so brave" and so I added this arrow sentiment and a cute striped heart with a staple in it for texture to finish off this cluster of embellishments.


As you can see, my daughter and husband were all smiles after this little procedure, and I was all smiles being able to record this fun memory of the two of them! The Happy Healing collection sure fit the bill with these cute photos! I hope that I have inspired you today to record some of your "boo-boo" memories as well! We will see you all next time friends!

Doodlebug's New DIY Snow Globe! Cute Gift Ensemble featuring the "Over the Rainbow" Collection

Hi there crafty friends! It was so much fun getting to play with the brand-new D.I.Y Snow Globes this month! I don't know about you, but it has been a little dreary in my neck of the woods and I knew I wanted to brighten things up so I used the super bright and happy "Over the Rainbow" collection and a few Doodlepops from the "Bunny Hop" collection to create this fun little gift ensemble which includes a snow globe, a cute shaker lid container, and a whimsical Tag Flip! 

To make the Snow Globe, I used the 6x6 Rainbow Wishes paper with the cloud background and layered up some Odds and Ends, and the cute "Hello Sunshine" Doodlepop to make a little sky scene. I added some of the "Gnome Sweet Gnome" 6x6 paper and traced the base of the Snow Globe onto it. I then added it to my Snow Globe base and decorated that section with a cloud, a button tied with some yellow twine, and some cute yellow pom-pom trim to finish it up. 

I used the Cupcake, Bubblegum, Ladybug, Tangerine, Bumblebee, Limeade, and  Swimming Pool Shaker Balls to fill up the Snow Globe. Aren't they so much fun?

Next, I created this cute little container with a shaker lid! Believe it or not, this is made from a small Pringles Can and a 3-inch plastic ornament half to make the shaker lid. I fell in love with this little technique and can see myself making oodles of these! They are the perfect way to showcase all of my favorite Doodlepops! They are so fun to fill up too! 

To cover my Pringles can, I used a 4 1/2 x 10-inch strip of Over the Rainbow Stripe paper. I then added two of the decorative border strips from the Lucky Me paper. I added the "It's a Rainbow Kind of Day" die cut to the front of the can with some foam tape. I also added some cute yellow pom-pom trim to the top of the border strip along the bottom of the can. Cute colors abound here!

To make the lid, I added some lightweight chipboard strips behind the clouds on the "Hello Sunshine" Doodlepop. This made it fit well in the dome. I added a 3-inch cardstock circle on top of the plastic lid and then glued the Doodlepop down with hot glue. I added the Shaker Balls to the dome and then centered the dome on top of the lid. The dome is held onto the top of the lid with hot glue. This is so fun to shake up! 

On the inside of the container, I did a quick little tag flip and featured some of my favorite pieces of the "Over the Rainbow" collection. It fit perfectly, ribbons and all, inside the container! 

As you can see, the first tag on the page is a shaker tag that was decorated with some pattern papers, and acetate. The shaker balls were a great interactive element for the cover tag on this little flip! 

Here are the tags I did! Lots of layering of 6x6 papers, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Puffy Stickers! 

Getting to play with the Snow Globe and Shaker Balls was such a delight and I am thrilled with how this little set turned out. I plan on giving it to a cute niece of mine to brighten her day! Thank you so much for spending a little time here on the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you have the best day and we will see you all next time! Happy Crafting Friends!
