Hi crafty friends! Today I am sharing a bright and tropical scrapbook layout I created featuring the Summer Fun collection. This layout captures a sweet memory from our family vacation to Puerto Vallarta last year.  It was one of those magical trips filled with laughter, zip lines, and sunshine- and this playful collection was perfect for documenting every colorful moment! 

In the main photo, you can see the full 12x12 layout where I built layers of the vibrant pattern paper and whimsical die cuts to frame our family photo. I used the gorgeous leafy green paper from the Paradise Palms paper as the base and layered white cardstock with wavy stitched edges to add some interest. The photo is mounted on two sheets of pattern paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I wanted a smaller-scale pattern on this paper since my embellishments are a bit busy. The bottom strip features a festive row of some of my favorite icons that rest on a strip of Gull Friends and Beach Towel pattern papers and a bright, happy yellow scallop sticker strip from the This and That sticker sheet. 

Let's get a closer few at some of the different parts of the page:

At the top of the photo, I created a playful title using some layered die cuts from the Chit Chat. I love that the family word is on tag - that way I can add some yummy Tangerine Doodle Twine that is wrapped around the left side of the photo. I love the tropical feel of the orange in this layout. The cute little green chameleon is from the Puffy Icons and adds a fun, unexpected little touch - I love how this collection features so many cute little critters! I also added a few small flower stickers that are also found on the Puffy Icons. 

The journaling area of the layout is built on a pretty notebook-style die cut found in the Bits and Pieces that I tucked next to the photo. I kept my writing short and sweet, but made sure to capture the highlights: ziplining, jungle exploring, and soaking in the Mexican sun! A "best trip ever" speech bubble from the Chit Chat, and a colorful blue floral heart, also from the Chit Chat, emphasize just how special this vacation was. Notice the tiny Puffy Icon flowers here as well. 

Along the bottom of the layout, I had a blast creating a tropical scene using layers of die cuts and stickers from the Odds and Ends, Icon Stickers, and Puffy Icon Stickers. This border gave me a chance to play with dimension and texture while telling the story of our beachy adventures. 

Here are some close-ups of the border:

On the left side of the layout,  I created a fun scene featuring a pink flamingo circle die from the Chit Chat, a Sandcastle Icon sticker, and a Puffy Icon smiling starfish and small white flower! All backed with various leaves from the Bits and Pieces. 

In the center of the cluster, I added a beautiful orange hibiscus flower from the Bits and Pieces with an orange Puffy Icon flower in the center. Don't forget to say hi to the sweet little crab waving hello! He is from the Icon Stickers. 

On the right-hand side, I paired a pretty pink polka dot camera next to the cutest toucan dies from the Odds and Ends. The coconut drink is a sticker and love the tropical feel it gives to this side of the layout. I tucked a "Scenic Spot"geotag to the end to tie in the pretty orange color on this strip. All throughout the border you will see little tiny Puffy Icon flowers here and there along the strip. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to pull out those sunny vacation photos and dive into the Summer Fun collection! Whether it's beach days, jungle hikes, or family laughter under the sun, this collection has everything you need to document your most treasured summer memories! Happy Crafting friends!

 Hey

 Hi crafty friends! It’s been a little while since I made any treat bags, and oh boy—I forgot just how fun they are to create! There’s something extra sweet about putting together a little handmade bag, especially when I get to use my beloved Doodlepops! (You know how much I love those little cuties!) This time, I couldn’t resist diving into the Bee Happy collection. It’s bright, it’s cheerful, and it’s bursting with the sweetest little icons—perfect for spring, summer, or any time you want to add a little sunshine to someone’s day.

 

These mini bags are not just cute—they’re also super versatile! Fill them with candy, gift cards, small party favors, or even tuck in a handmade note. They’d be perfect for birthdays, thank-you gifts, classroom treats, or just because. 

A Closer Look at Each Bag:

 “Happy Bee-day” Bag:

This cheerful yellow bag starts with a yellow  Textured cardstock base layered with a fun plaid patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad. I added a scalloped circlet that is from the Doodle Cuts Nesting Scallops die cuts and stitched a white circle behind the star of the show—an adorable Bee Happy Doodlepop! Around him, I tucked in a couple of mushrooms, florals, and a leaf sticker for a sweet little garden scene. The “Happy Bee-day!” sentiment strip from the All the Things die cuts was paired with a couple of small white Puffy Sticker hearts. These make the perfect playful touch to finish it off.

 “My Honey” Bag:

This one might be my favorite (shhh, don’t tell the others!). The background features bold diagonal stripes layered behind the scalloped circle. I placed the darling My Honey Doodlepop front and center, paired with a honey jar and his tiny bee friend. The die cut that says “my honey” adds just the right amount of sweetness, along with a few heart embellishments. Notice the little flower clothespin at the top? These are from the Mini Clothespins and tied with some Doodle Twine and a tiny flower from the Puffy Stickers.

“Cute as Can Bee” Bag:

This minty fresh bag was so fun to make! The star here is Honey Bees Shaker Pops  (yes, SHA-KER!) with tiny yellow beads inside that wiggle when you shake it. I layered it over some black gingham 6x8 paper and framed it with the scalloped and stitched circle die cuts. A couple more bumble bees from the  Doodlepop added some dimension and charm. I finished it off with the “cute as can bee” sentiment strip—because honestly, it really is!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these happy little bags brought a smile to your face—and maybe even sparked a little creative inspiration. If you haven’t already buzzed over to pick up the Bee Happy collection, now’s the perfect time. You’re going to fall in love with every last detail!

Until next time—stay sweet, stay crafty, and bee happy!

Berry Sweet Cards and Tags

I had a great time crafting a set of handmade cards and tags using the Berry Sweet collection. With its bright colors, happy strawberries, and cheerful critters, this collection practically crafts itself. Let’s take a closer look at each piece and what I used to create it:

Card 1: Home Sweet Home:

This charming card features the cutest pink house die cut from the All the Things pack. I layered it over a red doily and a patterned circle from the 6x8 Paper Pad. A “Home Sweet Home” sentiment banner and a playful mouse from the Icon Stickers bring extra charm. I finished it off with a bow made from Doodle Twine and a few enamel dots for added texture.

Card 2: So Happy Together

I used layered rectangles of some of my favorite papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to frame the adorable strawberry couple (from the All the Things ephemera). The “So Happy Together” card is actually a 3x4 cut-apart piece, and a little bird and daisy sticker from the Icon Stickers add sweet final touches.

Card 3: Love You Cupcake Tags

This card is actually two tags mounted onto a card base—each one featuring a cupcake topped with a strawberry and florals from the All the Things die cuts. I added a scalloped border sticker, from the This and That stickers, yellow Doodle Twine, and those irresistible mice from the Puffy Stickers. The “love you” sentiment is layered over a green polka dot paper and pink strawberry paper for extra sweetness.

Card 4: Just for You Berry Truck

The blue gingham berry truck from All the Things steals the show here! I used floral and red dot papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, and the red polka dot strip grounds the design. A cute mouse reaches for a strawberry in the back of the truck, and a “Just for You” banner finishes it off. A bit of yellow Doodle Twine wraps it all up!

Card 5: Berry Best Friends Grid Card

I created a 4-square grid on a red polka dot background to showcase four different berry-themed scenes from the All the Things and Icon Stickers. There’s a berry basket, a teacup filled with fruit, and the sweetest little mouse. A “Berry Best Friends” banner and hearts from the All the Things complete this playful card. 

I also made 4 tags with some large white tags from my stash. I love making tags because I love playing with all the layers and all of the embellishments with the Berry Sweet collection. 

Here are some brief descriptions of each of  the tags:

Tag 1: Hello Berry Basket Prize Ribbon:

This tag features a crepe paper rosette base layered over a pink tag from the Tag Paper. I used crepe paper for added dimension, a green polka dot paper tail, and a “hello” sentiment from the All the Things. The smiling berry basket from the This and That stickers sits center stage.

Tag 2: Life is Sweet Basket Tag

A mint Berry Basket Doodle pop layered over bold strawberry patterned paper sets the tone here. I used a pink crepe paper ruffle along the bottom, layered hearts, and a “Life is Sweet” sentiment sticker. This tag screams summer!

Tag 3: The Good Life Lemonade Tag

Pink plaid and bright florals make this tag the perfect background for the adorable lemonade pitcher and glass from the All the Things.  I layered up one of the This and That stickers with the die cuts that matched for some added dimension. I added a “The Good Life” sentiment strip and a few hearts and strawberries for that fruity pop.

Tag 4: Sweet Memories Mouse Tag

This tag features a layered floral tag for the base with the cutest mouse holding a strawberry. I also added a front-facing bicycle die cut for some depth. The “Sweet Memories” oval sentiment finishes it off, with some enamel dots for a little shine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these Berry Sweet cards and tags brightened your day and gave you a little inspiration to dive into this adorable collection. Whether you’re making tags, cards, or anything in between, this collection is full of juicy, joy-filled possibilities.

Go grab some strawberries (and maybe a few stickers) and get crafty! See you next time!

Pink Crepe Paper

Hi crafty friends! Tya here, and today I’m excited to share a layout that is as sweet as a summer strawberry! I used the absolutely darling Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug Design, and it was the perfect match for documenting this cute little moment with my cat, Winnie, out exploring the garden.

 Let’s take a closer look at the details! 

In the full shot of the layout, you can see how I used a grid of cheerful 2x2 patterned paper squares from the 6x8 paper pad in bold berry prints, ginghams, florals, and stripes to build a colorful background. I added dimension with lots of embellishments from the "All the Things" die cuts, including the adorable strawberry die cuts, flowers, and some puffy dots, hearts, and flowers from the Puffy Stickers scattered throughout. This gave the page a patchwork quilt vibe, perfect for the sweet garden theme.

One of my favorite embellishments from the collection is this pink polka-dot wheelbarrow overflowing with strawberries and flowers! I tucked it next to the photo of Winnie sniffing the strawberry plant, and perched a little bird on top for extra charm. A puffy red flower and yellow flower  die cut finished off this corner beautifully. 

The “berry sweet” title uses a mix of script and playful fonts in rainbow colors, adding a fun pop to the white space on the right. Just below, I included a few lines of journaling. And how sweet is the little mouse friend peeking out over the flower pot? I thought it framed out the title perfectly.

In the top corner, I added a mini cluster with layered hearts, a “Love You” sentiment, which is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet,  and a soft pop of color from a puffy yellow heart. This small detail helps balance the page while keeping things light and fresh. I did add a few black Nuvo dots here and there on the page around my little clusters - I love the pop of black next to the colorful die cuts.

The highlight, of course, is my curious little kitty, Winnie, captured mid-sniff among the greenery. I love how the warm sunlight and the blossoms of the strawberry plants echo the collection’s theme. She looks totally enchanted, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots to preserve this moment.

The top section continues showcasing the patchwork grid with more berry-printed papers and a happy little strawberry face die cut. Notice the strip of colorful diagonal stripe paper strips - they are from the Strawberry Fields 12x12 paper.  I also added a sweet striped sticker tab and another cluster of flowers to tie everything together. It’s the cutest finishing touch!

 I hope this layout makes you smile and maybe sparks a little inspiration for your own berry sweet memories. This collection is bursting with charm and color—it’s perfect for summer scenes, garden stories, or anything that calls for a fresh, fruity vibe! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you feel inspired to pick up the Berry Sweet collection and create something adorable. Happy crafting, friends—see you next time!

Hi there, crafty friends! I'm so excited to share my latest design team project! This time around, I decided to do a layout featuring the stunning new Butterfly Kisses collection! The bright, pretty colors and whimsical icons were the perfect match for these sweet photos of my daughter. With bright florals, sunshine, and rainbows galore, this layout came together like a breath of fresh spring air - pure happiness on a page! 

Here's a full look at my layout. I  started with the Garden Gingham paper as my base and then added a small border of Bubblegum Textured Cardstock and white cardstock to build my layout. I also added the soft blue Rainbow Skies paper behind the photos. The bright and cheerful Sunny Days paper, added across the layout, adds the perfect pop of sunshiny yellow. I had so much fun embellishing the layout using lots of ephemera from the Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces packs! 

Just look at this sweet corner of my layout- it's bursting with charm! I layered a mix of die cuts, twine, and Puffy Stickers on this section. For fun, I added a twine trail behind the beautiful butterfly. The "You're so Sweet" speech bubble and a cluster of happy flowers with a cute button center make this so fun! How adorable is the smiling little ladybug? She is from the Puffy Stickers as well. These are all the perfect touches to highlight my photos.

This top right corner is bursting with happiness! I tucked in the sweetest rainbow and sunshine from the Odds and Ends pack, layering them behind the photo for a playful, whimsical vibe. The bright blue button tied with twine adds a soft, handmade touch to the cloud, and a cheerful floral cluster paired with an orange butterfly brings in even more color and joy. I also added a darling little dragonfly Puffy Sticker to pull in some more dimension.. It's like a garden party right on the page! 

This section of my layout brings all the sweetness together with the perfect title and journaling. I used the "absolutely adorable" die cuts from the Chit Chat as my main title - it couldn't be more fitting for these precious photos. Just below, I added some typewritten-style journaling strips to capture the heart of the moment, sharing how this everyday snapshot perfectly showcases my sweet girl. A scalloped floral border sticker from the This and  That Sticker Sheet and a small strip of green Textured Cardstock add playful texture and color, tying everything together with that signature Doodlebug charm!

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a closer look at my layout! I had such a wonderful time creating this page with the Butterfly Kisses collection - it truly is a breath of fresh air with its vibrant colors, happy icons, and sweet sentiments. I hope this project has inspired you to pick up this adorable collection and use it to capture and celebrate your own special memories. Happy Crafting!

Hello crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a fun design team project featuring the absolutely adorable Butterfly Kisses collection. I also feature 3 of my favorite things - fun fold cards, Doodlepops, and the new Puffy Words stickers. Today, I will be showing you these six cute Double Z fold cards that were a breeze to put together! Let's Go!!!

I used the new 6x8 paper pad, some Textured Cardstock, then lots of Doodlepops, twine, and like I said, the new Puffy Words stickers. These products are a card maker's dream come true, and make putting these together a breeze! 

Take a look at how cute the Puffy Word stickers fit perfectly on this little hidden sentiment section when you open up the front of the card! Too cute! 

Here are the six cards that I made. As you can see, each of the front panels is decorated a little differently based on the theme of the Doodlepop. I also used two scallop rectangle dies to mount some of my Doodleops on, as well as the Puffy Words. 

I added a bit of yellow ink on some of my panels to make the Doodlepops pop a bit more and not look so flat against the white panel. On these 2 cards, I did add some die cuts from the Bits and Pieces and Chit Chat ephemera.

On a couple of the cards, I also pulled in some of the 3x4 cut-apart cards found on the Color-Fetti pattern paper. I mounted the matching Doodlepop on the card. Make sure to check out those cut-apart cards- a lot of times, they match the size of the Doodlepop perfectly! 

 Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you're feeling inspired to create your own fun-filled cards using the adorable Butterfly Kisses collection. Don't be afraid to dig into those Doodlepops (I know we all hoard them lol! ) and use those Puffy Word stickers - they're seriously perfect for adding that extra bit of charm to your handmade cards.  Wishing you the happiest day, and I can't wait to see you all next time for more crafty fun!

 Spring has officially sprung in my craft room, and I couldn't be more excited to share the sweet bunch of cards and tags I created using the Bunny Hop collection! This collection is absolutely overflowing with charm- from the pastel color palette and playful patterns to the darling bunnies and chickies - everything feels like a burst of sunshine. Designing with Bunny Hop was pure joy, and I found myself smiling the entire time as each piece came together. 

                                                      

 

Let me show you all the delightful little details that went into each card and tag!

As you can see on my first card, the pattern papers here are absolutely adorable and so bright and fun! My first card features lots of layers of pattern paper and various embellishments from the collection such as the Icon Stickers, the Bits and Pieces die cuts, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. I added some bling with the Easter Mini Jewels. I love adding all sorts of ribbon and twine to my projects as well- so I added some pretty pink twine to the top of the die-cut clipboard shape.

All of my tag bases for the project come from the 4 tags found in the Bits and Pieces die cuts. My first tag was decorated with lots of stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet. This size of sticker was perfect for my tags. The word strip is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

Pretty polka dots are featured on this fun card! I also added some beautiful florals from the Bits and Pieces take center stage here and a fun little bunny and her egg make for a fun and festive card.

My second tag features one of the cute boy bunnies in the collection. How cute are his little overalls? This fun sticker would be so cute on a bag of treats!

I love square-shaped cards, and when I saw this adorable "Some Bunny Loves You" sticker from the This and That stickers sheet- I knew I had to make it front and center on my square-shaped cards. The adorable bunnies on the background paper from the Everything Easter paper make for the perfect background on this bunny-themed card. Hearts and flowers are also seen decorating the perimeter of the cute sticker sentiment.

This adorable tag is a cutie! The stripe looks great next to the cute daffodil floral die cut with a jeweled center. The Egg Hunt arrow is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.  This tag would be so cute on a page showcasing your Easter festivities! 

I love making little scenes with my embellishments as you can see here! the floral bunches from the Bits and Pieces are perfect for layering up other stickers on top of.  The sunshine sticker from the Icon Sticker sheet is perfectly framed with one of the circle labels from the Bits and Pieces. The label and Happy Easter sticker title work great along the cute grass pattern paper found on the Spring Sprouts paper.

This last tag is my favorite! Maybe because I am team Peeps! I love those little marshmallow goodies and these stickers reminded me of a favorite Easter treat. These cute stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet fit perfectly on this flower tag.  I added some tiny flowers and mini gems to decorate this tag further. It's so cute! 

My last card features one of the sticker labels from the This and That sticker sheet. They work great on cards and I just fell in love with this fun bunny in his truck delivering some Easter Eggs! The adorable Chick tag from Bits and Pieces adds some charm and whimsy to the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at my Bunny Hop cards and tags- and that you're feeling inspired to create something sweet and springy of your own. This collection is just too cute to resist, and I know you'll have just as much fun playing with it as I did. Happy Easter and Happy Crafting my friends!
