HOMETOWN USA FESTIVE FLORAL SHAKER | with Miguel

Without a doubt, Doodle Cuts are one of the many Doodlebug products I love. Especially the shaker versions, since they let you play around with other products. I really enjoy making them and keeping a stash on hand to decorate special projects, though I have to admit they look beautiful all on their own!

I used the "Hometown USA" solid assortment to die cut all the pieces, and I also cut the shaker frame from foam to create the 3D depth needed to hold the shaker filling—for which I used a mix of colors this time.

Another product I recommend using are Shape Sprinkles.  They add an impressive shine to projects, making them more eye-catching and special—especially since all Doodlebug products coordinate perfectly. 

Here are some photos of the materials used for this piece. I hope you find them really useful when creating. Thanks for stopping by! See you soon.

HOMETOWN USA YEAR 6 PROM LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I'm sharing a special scrapbook layout featuring some treasured Year 6 Prom memories my niece recently celebrated. I created the layout with the bright and festive Hometown USA Collection. While this collection is perfect for patriotic celebrations, I loved using the classic red, white, and blue color palette to document these memorable photos.

For the background, I combined two patterned papers, placing the soft blue polka dot design alongside a vibrant red print. The split design creates a bold backdrop while helping draw attention to the photo cluster in the centre of the page. To soften the transition between the papers, I added a wavy border strip and layered patriotic bunting across the top of the layout.

The focal point features three photos layered on coordinating cardstock mats and embellishments. I tucked die cuts and icon stickers behind the photos to add dimension and visual interest. The fireworks elements from the Odds and Ends pack work beautifully with the celebratory theme, making them the perfect addition for documenting such an important milestone.

To create movement across the page, I incorporated stars, banners, and decorative accents throughout the design. The adorable character die-cut adds a touch of Doodlebug's signature charm, while the "Time to Celebrate" sentiment reinforces the special occasion.

I used the Alphabet Soup letter stickers in Ladybug to build my title, "Year 6 Prom," placing it prominently above the photos and a little at the bottom. Additional sentiments such as "Having a Blast!" and "You're So Sweet" help tell the story and add extra personality to the layout.

I finished everything off with scattered stars from the Star Spangled enamel pack and added a few layered elements to give the page extra depth and texture. I love how the festive colors and fireworks motifs highlight this happy memory and make the photos shine.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope this layout inspires you to use the Hometown USA Collection for more than just holiday celebrations and to document those special milestone moments with bright colors and playful embellishments. Happy crafting!

HOMETOWN USA CARDS | with Kathy

The Hometown USA collection is great for more than just patriotic projects!  I used the collection to create some fun summer cards!  Take a peek...

For my first card, I decided to use the sweet Festive Floral Doodle Pop.  I love the cute little flowers and those silver hearts add a great touch of shine.  I framed it in a scalloped cut out and added the silver Happy Birthday chit chat.

For my second card, I wanted to use the adorable Blue Birds Doodle Pops.  They're just so cute!  I die cut flowers using the Festive Floral and Pocket Full o' Pride Doodle cuts.  I added some coordinating sprinkle centers.  For a little touch of shine I added the You're so Sweet chit chat.

EEK!  Those birdies are cute!  Have you created any projects using the Hometown USA collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Socials, we love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.
