HEY PUMPKIN WITCHY LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello, crafty friends! I’m sharing a spooky-sweet layout featuring the adorable Hey Pumpkin collection! I adore the witchy icons and beautiful, bold colors—they are the perfect match for this sweet photo of  Sophie dressed up as a witch for Halloween. 
I started with Mandarin Gingham/Linen Petite Print paper, then layered black and white cardstock to frame the page. A mix of pattern papers - Bootiful Bouquet and  Halloween Haul- created a playful backdrop for Sophie’s Halloween photo. The whole page is full of happy Halloween details! Black accents help the bright pink, orange, yellow, and green pop, while sparkly black ric-rac adds a fun touch of texture across the patterned papers.

This view shows how all those cheerful patterns work together! I combined pieces from the This & That sticker sheet, the Bits and Pieces, and the Odds & Ends die cuts to build little clusters around the photo and title. This colorful This and That Sticker sentiment was just right for my little witch! Its black-and-white dotted border looks so cute against the pink paper. I tucked journaling strips underneath and added a friendly bat and stars alongside it

 

How cute is this little witch perched on her broom with her black kitty? I  added a yellow button tied with black crochet thread to her hat for a little handmade touch. 
At the bottom of the photo, I arranged a spooky black tree, smiling moon, pumpkin bucket, and colorful flowers. Another yellow button with a black crochet thread bow adds texture and ties this cluster in with the little witch.
Sophie’s smile is the star of the page! A black scalloped photo mat frames her picture, while the smiling moon, flying bats, and layered tree create a magical little Halloween scene around her.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope this layout inspired you to grab the Hey Pumpkin collection and have some spooky-sweet fun documenting your own favorite Halloween memories. Happy crafting!

BALLOONS & BANNERS TREAT CADDY | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Nice to see you all pop by! Today I am so happy you're here so I can show you the latest project I've created with the brand new Balloons & Banners collection! The colors in this collection are perfection and not just for birthdays, but all celebration themes!  I love a good 3D project that doubles as a table and desk display and this one is super cute! And as a bonus, I have a video showcase of today's project at the end of my post as well, so be sure to stay tuned!



To create your very own caddy, you need two pieces of 4 x 4.5" chipboard that you'll cover with patterned paper of your choice.  Next, cut a 4 x 11" piece of patterned paper and score the middle of this piece so it bends.  Next, secure on the inside of each piece of covered chipboard.  For the inside boxes you can use whatever dimensions you need to hold what you'd like.  Experiment with plain paper and once you have the size you need you can then make a template and use your good paper :-)



For the front of my caddy, I have added a foam and cardstock pocket.  This can hold a photo or a mini tag.  Decorate how ever you wish.  With each Doodlebug collection, there is so much crafty goodness to use! You'll never be short of supply.  For the extra sweet treats, I've repackaged candy, but you can keep the original packaging and add extra's like a handmade card or gift cards!  So many ideas.


Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you found some inspiration today! Please remember to tag Doodlebug Design in your Socials when you create with our products so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations! Until next time; doodle doo!  Enjoy my video showcase!

BALLOONS & BANNERS BIG BIRTHDAY FUN MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hi crafty friends! I was overjoyed to create this cute little 4x4 chipboard mini album using the adorable Balloons & Banners collection! Full of birthday cheer, this little cutie is the perfect place to add photos of your favorite birthday boy or girl.

I used the 6x8 paper pad and the coordinating Textured Cardstock pack to dress up the album with festive patterns. I then decorated all the pages by adding layers of birthday fun using the This & That sticker sheet, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces die cuts. A cute Party Time cake Doodle-Pop and two sets of Shape Sprinkles - the Hip Hip Hooray and the Birthday Boy Assortment bring extra dimension and sweetness. I even added a cute party hat  "Let's Party" charm to the front cover.  Some yummy new Pom-Pom trim in Lily White and Swimming Pool joined the celebration! I love how these little details make this tiny album feel like a party all its own.

Here are some close-ups of each of the pages:

From blowing out candles to opening presents and celebrating with favorite people, there are so many birthday moments worth saving. This little album is the perfect way to gather those special memories into a keepsake you can enjoy long after the last slice of cake is gone!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope I’ve inspired you to pick up the Balloons and Banners collection, create a little album of your own, and fill it with your favorite birthday memories. Happy crafting!
