 Do you know someone who is in the need for a little pick-me-up? These fun loaded pocket Get Well Soon gift holders is  just what the doctor ordered! These little cuties were super quick and easy to whip up and I had so much fun decorating each of the little gifts that are stuffed into this package of  well wishes! 

To make the loaded pocket ,  I followed this tutorial here! I loved that it utilized a whole sheet of 12x12 paper! All all you needed to do was do a little scoring and glueing and you were all set to decorate and fill this all up with your goodies! I used the super cute "Thinking of You" paper with its sweet florals and pops of color with the yellow and white polka dots! It made the perfect base for this holder. 


I decorated the front of the holder with some cute heart paper from the 6x6 paper pad and added this fun "Hope You're Pilling Better" sticker from the This and That Sticker sheet. I also added the cute scallop silver heart border sticker from this same sticker sheet to the top edge of the front pocket. Love the bling and shine this gives! I also added several of the pills from the "Happy Pills" Shape Sprinkles to the sticker.

Inside the front pockets, I included a quick and easy greeting card that was decorated with a cut apart from the Candy Striper paper. The "Wishing you Well" banner sticker also comes from the This and That sticker sheet.
I made a simple little matchbook style tea bag holder from some Love Blooms paper. 


Here is a little peek of the top pocket. I've  stuffed it up with 4 different little decorated gifts.

I added some cute pink heart paper to some Tums and decorated it with some Icon Sticker sheet stickers. I also included a hand sanitizer holder that I decorated with some stickers, and Odds and Ends. I tied a fun red and white polka dot ribbon for some color and dimension. Isn't that little germ sooo cute? Doodlebug can even make a germ adorable! 


Here are a few close ups of the little gifts.  This mini tag from the 6x6 paper pad was perfect for this little travel size pain reliever bottle. Its tied on with some Cupcake Bakers Twine


I  made a cute holder with a fun bag topper filled with some cough drops. I folded over a Swimming Pool doily and then decorated the doily  up with some Odds and Ends, Chit Chat die cuts and a strip of flowers from the 6x6 paper pad. I also added some "Heart Attack" Shape Sprinkles.


This was a very fun gift to put together ! I am going to whip up a few and keep them on hand and then I will have them handy to give to my loved ones when needed! With as quick and easy as they are to do, this will be a great gift to keep on hand. I hope I have inspired you to make your own little loaded pockets like this one too! Thank you for stopping by today ! We will see you next time! Happy crafting friends!

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!

Hello Crafty friends! I am so excited that it is finally starting to feel a little bit like Spring! Today I am up on the blog sharing my project featuring the cute-as-can-be "Bunny Hop" collection.

 

I created a fun layout with a few selfies I took with a fun Easter Bunny  Ears filter a few years back. I love how the colors match perfectly between my photos and the collection! Doodlebug does bright, happy, and fun so well and absolutely did not disappoint with this cute collection! Let me show you a few close-ups of the parts of my page:

I created my title by layering up 2 sentiments from the Chit Chat. I added the cute bunny and fun flowers, that are from the Odds and Ends and Bits and Pieces Ephemera on top of the Hello. Then some sprinkles in the flower centers. These are placed on a Cupcake Doily and a circle of the Spot of Spring paper. I love how the doily adds a bit of texture to this part. My journaling was typed out and added above the title. 

I thought the Springtime Stripe paper was the perfect background for my layout. It was fun to do a play on the stripes on my bunny ears in the photo. I backed my photos on some textured cardstock that matches the collection. A cute flower cluster and "Im all Ears" speech bubble from the Chit Chat round out this part of the layout.


The bottom section of my layout is a fun one as I got to play with lots of the collection! As you can see, I added a section of Bubblegum Textured cardstock there and separated this part from the top part of the layout with a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet and some festive yellow pom-pom trim from my stash! The pom-poms remind me of cute fluffy chickies!
I cut out (10) 2x2 inch squares in two rows and got to decorate them all up with some goodies. I used some buttons and twine from my stash, a few pieces of Petite Prints, and then some cut parts and pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad, some stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet, and plenty of ephemera and Shape Sprinkles from the collection. 



This fun collection was an absolute joy to create with and I am soooo excited to get to play with it more with all the Easter and Spring photos I have. I hope that I have inspired you today with this layout! This is a great one to recreate if you like to add lots of embellishments to your projects like I do! Doodlebug does some of THE best embellishments in the industry and this was a fun way to display them! Thank you very much for stopping by today! Have the best day and we will see you all next time!

Lots of Love Mini Album Flipbook - Doodlebug Design Team Project

 Hello there Doodlebug fans! Hope you are all doing well and that you are enjoying this beautiful month of February, the month that we get to celebrate all things LOVE! I am super excited to share with you my latest DT project using the super cute 'Lots of Love' collection! I did a mini album with a little twist! I created a fun chipboard cover that fits a 4x6 album in! This technique is such a fun way to house your albums of this size! (and it also gave me more room to decorate and play with all of my amazing "Lots of Love" goodies! ) Come and see! 




As you can see the collection is stunning with its bright pops of pink, red, and blue! Perfect for a love-themed album! I used so many elements to dress up my pages and it was super fun mixing and matching all the different products to make some really fun, and interactive pages! Let me show you a few pages!

As you can see, I love to add all sorts of flips and pockets to my albums! The pockets are the perfect spot to cut out a couple of tags from that cut apart paper!




Look how beautiful the yellows are! Such a fun pop of bright color mixed with the vivid pink and blues! The florals in this collection are super fun to layer up and are great sizes to use in this size mini album! 








And of course, no album would be complete without a cute Doodlepop here and there! I adore the shaker ones like this Tea one shown below!








The last few pages - good spots to showcase photos of all of your loved ones! 



This little album has so many fun and interactive elements to it, that it is really hard to showcase with just photos sooooo - if you'd like to stop by and check out my walkthrough of this album - you can find it over on my YouTube channel! I'd love to show you just how much fun this little ( albeit chunky ) album is!



Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I have given you some inspiration to grab this adorable "Lots of Love" collection and make a mini album of your own! Happy crafting friends!

Snow Much Fun Cards - Doodlebug DT project

Hello there Doodlebug friends! How’s the weather where you are? Here in Utah, it’s still looking a lot like winter – but that’s ok! I love winter! And to celebrate – I thought I’d whip up a few winter–themed cards using the adorable ‘Snow Much Fun” collection!

I used the card bases from the Cards and Envelopes Kit that coordinates with the collection. These six cards were super fun to decorate up with all of the goodies from the collection! Let's see what I made for you, shall we?

This cute card is one of my favorites of the bunch. I love that little peek-a-boo spot cut out of the card base. It was the perfect spot for the friendly Yeti on the Hello Winter Doodlepop to wave hello. The card was decorated with some pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad and the 12 x12 paper. Some pretty flocked tulle added some fun texture and interest to this page! 


All of the snowmen had my heart, but this little fellow, with his little snow cone, was the perfect addition to this fun card that features some of the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat ephemera pieces. 


Everyone in for a selfie! I simply adored this fun group shot with all of our polar pals that is from the Odds and Ends. I added a couple of more friends with the bunny and the seal popping in. They are stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet. The fun "Snow Happy Together" banner sentiment was the perfect saying for all of these happy friends! 


This little ski buddy made his appearance next to some of the snow-capped mountains and a big "Nice to Ski You!" sentiment. I layered that sentiment - found in the Chit Chat ephemera over the top of the original die cut. It was more appropriate for a card than what was on there.  Don't be afraid to layer up the ephemera and make it work for your specific project!  I  loved adding some additional sparkle with some stickles and the fun snowflake sprinkles found on the Snow Colorful Shape Sprinkles added a great splash of color and dimension to this wintery mountain card. 


This file folder card was a joy to decorate up with the Winter Wonderland Shaker Pop! I mounted it on one of the tags in the Bits and Pieces. Some pretty snowflakes and a cute sticker banner sentiment from the This and That sticker sheet round this one out! Check out the pretty gems on the centers of the snowflakes - These are from the Mini Jewels. 


This card makes me want to snuggle up in a warm sweater and drink some hot cocoa! One of my favorite card-making techniques is to layer up some of the Odds and Ends Ephemera and make a little smattering of icons. These snowy-themed icons look great mounted on some pretty glitter paper and some of the beautiful blue paper from the Textured Cardstock. 


Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope that these cards have warmed your heart and inspired you to make a batch for your favorite pals. It's a great way to spend a cold, winter day! See you all again next time! Happy Crafting!
