Hello there crafty friends! I'm so excited to share my latest design team project with you all today! I love adding personal touches to my home decor and this project does just that! 

I am always looking for fun ways to use the Shadow Box kits in a new and interesting way. I saw this beautiful woodgrain charger plate at my craft store and knew that the circle shape in the middle would be the perfect spot to add the Shadow Box kit!

I also found this beautiful floral pick that matched the Farmers Market collection perfectly so I decided to add a fun tag using some of the elements from the Chit Chat and the Bits and Pieces. I tied some yummy Bon Bon Chunky Twine on the tag to tie in the browns of the collection.

I just love this little sign with the chicken roosting on top! It made for such a cute addition to my tag!

On the right side of the plate, I added a few more die cuts from the ephemera. The beautiful colors on the Sprinkle enamel dots in this collection sure shine through and make a great center for the playful flowers.

The top of the plate needed a little something so this "Harvest Time" banner die cut from the Chit Chat ephemera fit just right! 

I mounted the Shadow Box insert on the vellum included in the kit. I then backed it on some green textured cardstock and then the super cute plaid side of the "Farm Fresh" pattern paper. I added more of the chunky twine around the edge of the circle to add interest and again tie in the luscious browns in the collection.

I had so much fun making this home decor piece that is going to look great with all my other fall-themed decor! I hope I have inspired you today to use our Shadow Box kits outside the box! lol! Charger plates are great spots for these types of projects! Thank you for stopping by and we will see you all next time!

Hello there! I am so happy to be sharing a fun scrapbook layout I created for my assignment this month! As an animal lover, the At the Zoo collection has always been one of my favorites that Doodlebug has put out! I was so excited to create !

My cute cousin and her adorable baby had just spent the day at the zoo and their photos could not be any cute or more perfect for this collection! I had a lot of fun layering up a few different pattern papers from the collection to make this fun layout! I also added a couple of strips of Bumblebee Dot/Stripe Petite Print paper to add a pop of yellow to the layout! 

Here are a few close ups of some of the details on the page:

The cute toucan from the odds and ends adds a fun splash of color to this layout! I loved how the stripes on the beak matched so well with the stripes of pattern paper that I used on the layout. I used the border strips found on the Safari Plaid paper. A couple of phrase stickers from the This and That Sticker Sheet helped bring in more color and interest.

This adorable monkey Doodlepop was the perfect little accent up in the corner. To add some fun texutre to the layout, I added some vine ribbon trim from my stash to have him swinging on. I also added a few palm leaves from the Odds and Ends and the "Hi Monkey" is from the This and That stickers.

I cut out a tag from the Animal Crackers paper and typed my journaling there. I tied some pretty blue Doodle twine to the tag. It makes a great visual triangle on the layout! 

One more cute monkey on a ribbon trim vine decorates the title block. He is from the Icon Sticker sheet.

My  title was made by layering up a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet, and a few leaves and a palm tree from the Odds and Ends. It's always fun to create little scenes around the title to make it stand out a bit more! 

This little layout was a joy to make and I always love using photos of the little ones enjoying the first times doing something exciting like going to the zoo! If you have a few zoo trip photos hanging around, pick up this amazing collection and use my layout as inspiration for your own Day at the Zoo photos! Thank you so much for stopping by today! We will see you next time - Happy Crafting!

Doodlebug Fun at the Park Travelers Notebook Projects

Hello there! I am so glad to be up on the blog today to share a couple of Travelers Notebook-sized layouts with you today! I am absolutely loving this size of memory keeping and knew right away I had some really fun photos of some recent  Disney trips I wanted to highlight! 

My first layout was made with loads of the fun embellishments from the collection. Chit Chat, Odds and Ends, and Icon stickers decorate the left page!  How cute are the pattern papers I used? The Magical  Show and Sweet Celebration papers from the 12x12 papers were great backgrounds for this colorful spread. 

On the right page, I cut some letters out with some red cardstock on my Silhouette and spelled the word Disney. I then decorated each letter with more embellishments from the collection.

This fun layout features some of my favorite photos - I am such a Disney Foodie! I love all the treats, meals, and snacks that Disney has to offer! So I knew I needed to make a layout especially when  I saw all the fun food icons in the collection! 

Here are a few close-ups of the left-hand page. I used a divided page protector which holds (8) 2x2 photos. I chose some of the squares from the Sweet Celebration paper as well as some papers from the 6x6 paper pad. The top square holds a cute shaker mix I made with some Mickey Heads and some glitter aqua stars. So fun! 

More close-ups of the squares. The cute faces on some of the treats from the Icon Sticker sheet had my heart and I added them to the bottom square. 

The right side of the layout holds a large picture which makes a great focal point for the theme of the layout. The bottom title was made with one of the labels from the Bits and Pieces and then I spelled out the "Let's Eat" using some Ladybug Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers. 

If you are short on time this busy summer season but really would like to record some of your favorite Fun at the Park memories- give this size of memory keeping a try! I love sitting down with some pattern paper, embellishments, and photos and getting them into an album! It doesn't matter the size, Doodlebug has products to fit any size of memory keeping! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope to have inspired you to record all of your magical memories with the amazing Fun at the Park collection! We will see you next time! Happy Crafting friends!

Hello there! I hope you are all having a wonderful summer so far! I am dreaming of a tropical vacation, and what better way to prepare for it than making a cute mini album to add all the pictures to! I made this super fun banner-shaped album and used the fun and summery "Seaside Summer" collection! 

To put this together I chose some of my favorite pattern papers from the collection and cut various banner sizes using my Silhouette. The smallest banner is about 2 1/2 x 4 inches and then I just added half an inch to both measurements to get the various-sized banners. 

As you can see, this little album is decorated up using all the different embellishments like the Chit Chat die cuts, the Bits and Pieces die cuts, and stickers galore!

The collection comes with the most beautiful color pallet and icons! How fun is this Toucan die cut, layered on a scallop circle die cut? Add a few circle photos and you have one cute page! 

This album is the perfect size for using the cute cut-apart cards in the collection like I did here. It's fun to layer up these cards like I did with stickers!

It's also really fun to add a pocket page to the album. Here is a great spot to tuck more cut-aparts, a journal spot, or 2 and more photos!

The last page is big enough to fit a 5x7 photo! I loved the palm tree die cuts so I had to add one on this page! 

Here's a fun, quick little walkthrough video short of the album! 

Thank you so much for taking some time out of your busy summer schedule to stop by today! My little album has inspired you to pull out some of your seaside adventure photos and make a quick little banner album like this one! Have the best day friends! Happy Crafting!

 Hello there and Happy 4th of  July to all my American friends! I hope your holiday is going well! Today I wanted to share my latest design team project with you! This is a quick and easy one to whip up for all your patriotic pals tonight! These fun treat holders will be the hit of your party! 

To make these, I took a snack-sized can of Pringles, emptied the chips, and rinsed the container. I then filled the cans with lots of 4th of July goodies like Poppers, some Pop Rocks candy, a Ring Pop, and a couple of party horn noise makers. These fit perfectly in this little container! 

To decorate the outside of the cans, I used a 4 1/2 x 10-inch piece of All Stars paper and covered the can. I then added a strip of Summer Celebration Washi Tape to the top edge. I then cut out a few different 3x4 cards from the Summer Celebration paper and glued them to the front of the cans. 

To decorate the tops of the cans, I used some blue tissue paper and wrapped it around the lid. I secured the tissue paper with some red and white stripe ribbon. I then added a few banner tags from the Chit Chat with the addition of a few stars from the Star Spangled Shape Sprinkles. These are hot glued to the center of the ribbon.

And of course, I couldn't resist using some of the adorable Doodle-Pops that come with the collection. I made these cute wands from a red and white striped straw that I topped with some of my favorite Doodle-Pops. These are mounted on a scalloped circle from the Nesting Scallops Doodle Cuts dies. I used the pretty Polka Dot Pride paper and some white cardstock to make these. I love how the Doodle-Pops fit just perfectly. I stuck these wands into the tissue paper.

I had such a blast putting these together and am excited to give them to my friends' children tonight at our neighborhood BBQ. I hope I have inspired you to make a few fun and festive treat holders for your festivities tonight! The Hometown USA collection is a perfect match for any patriotic party you are planning! Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

God Bless the USA layout - Doodlebug Design DT project featuring Hometown USA collection

 Hello there! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! I am getting so excited for the upcoming 4th of July holiday- it is my favorite holiday! I had a great time using the super cute "Hometown USA" collection to make this fun festive layout. 

I thought this photo of my daughter, niece, and nephew in red, white, and blue clothes made it the perfect photo to highlight. They were enjoying a fun hometown parade, excited for all the candy they were going to get!! The awesome papers that I used for my background- the light blue of the All American paper paired so well with the bright Picnic Plaid and Red, White, and Blue star papers! One strip along the top from the border strips on the Polka Dot Pride paper made a great eye-catching base for the top of the layout. 

Let's look at some of the details on the layout:

A cute trio of fireworks with the fun "Land that I Love" Shape Sprinkles in the center are so fun and add great interest in this corner above the photo!

I love that Doodlebug has made acetate papers with each of the collections. I used my stitched star metal dies to cut out some stars out of the "Festive Fireworks" acetate. I love the subtle touch they add to the page!  How cute are the beautiful blue stars from the Mini Jewels as well? They add just the right amount of sparkle on the page without overwhelming the other shapes!

My title - "God Bless the USA" is from the Chit Chat! 

This little cluster of embellishments was so fun to put together - I used one of the tags from the "Tag Your're It" paper is always a great spot for journaling! I added some fun red, white and blue bakers twine to the top. How adorable is our cute little patriotic friend with her wagon full of flags! That die cut and the sign post are both from the Odds and Ends. More acetate stars and a small silver star finish this cluster off. Too cute! 

Along the top of the page, I made another fun cluster with more fireworks, stars, and jewels to frame the cute "Fourth of July Parade" banner from the Chit Chat. I love how shiny this group is with the silver foil, enamel hearts, and small jewels! 

I had so much fun creating this festive layout, and cannot WAIT for the parades, fireworks, and celebrations coming up soon! I hope my layout has inspired you to grab this cute collection and get ready to add your own patriotic celebration photos! We will see you all next time- Happy Crafting!
