COLOR ME CRAFTY ACRYLIC MINI ALBUM |With Traci

Hi Doodlebug friends! It's Traci and I'm so excited to be sharing my Color Me Crafty project with you today!  This brand new collection is so bright and fun, and I caught myself smiling the entire time I was making my mini album!  

For this mini, I used one of my 4.5" x 6.5" Tall acrylic albums in white.  I used the 6x8 paper from the collection and several of the card sheets.  For the cover, I added the adorable plaid (Perfectly Plaid) paper to the front and layered an acrylic bracket that fits the Crafty Life sticker perfectly.  A camera from the Odds & Ends, and the Tools of the Trade Doodle-Pops finished up my cover.  So cute!

I love the little polaroid photos that are in the Odds & Ends pack so I had to add them to the first page ... and the green tab is from the Bits & Pieces pack -- adorable!

For the pocket in my mini, I used the light sprinkle paper (Happy Dots) so that everything I tucked into the pocket would pop with color.  I tucked in some of the larger Odds & Ends, and one of the 3x4 cards, and finished this page with the Crop title from the Chit Chat.

I just love this page.  The stripe is so colorful and then that die cut cluster at the bottom of the page is too cute!  I added another tab from the bits & pieces to this page and love how the album looks with all of them lined up down the side.

To highlight this 3x4 card, I used pop dots to add a die cut coffee cup over the one printed on the card.  It given the card some dimension and the pretty flower and leaves (Garden of Color Shape Sprinkles) give the card some shine.

Isn't this colorful page fun?  I used more Chit Chat pieces here and can't wait to tuck a fun crafty picture behind the embellishments.

One of the last pages in my album is another pocket.  The die cut that I tucked inside is one of my favorites ... it looks like an open 6x8 scrapbook album!  I think I'll add a small photo to the back :).

Well that's my project for today and I hope it inspires you to create something fun with the new Color Me Crafty collection!  I'll try to post a flip-through on my social media pages soon!

COLOR ME CRAFTY MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Inessa

Today I’m sharing a colorful 12x12 scrapbook layout featuring the brand new Color Me Crafty collection! This collection has the most gorgeous color palette and celebrates all things scrapbooking, which makes it an absolute favorite of mine.

Since this collection is all about our creative hobby, I knew it would be perfect for documenting a special event I had the opportunity to teach at this past February alongside Cynthea and several other talented educators that many of you know and love. It was such a wonderful experience and one I definitely wanted to preserve in my scrapbook.

To create the layout, I started with a sheet of Lily White cardstock. I added strips from the magical memories paper along the top and bottom edges of the page and then layered scallop sticker borders above each strip. I absolutely adore the rows of ribbons paper in this collection, so I fussy cut each color scallop and arranged them across the page, starting about 2½ inches from the bottom.

For my photo, I used a 4x4 image and matted it with the colorway paper and a layer of white cardstock to help it stand out against the colorful background. Once my photo was in place, I began building embellishment clusters around it.

I popped up many of the embellishments with foam adhesive to add dimension and gently bent the flower petals and leaves for extra texture. I also incorporated several doodle pops and a tab element to help create layers and visual interest around the photo.

To finish the layout, I added sprinkles and some of the adorable tiny puffy flower stickers throughout the page. One of my favorite details was placing the puffy flower icons in the centers of the larger flowers to give them a little extra zhuzh.

For the journaling details, I used the typewriter Doodle Pop to document the location and date of the event. I also added my name to the "Hello My Name Is" lanyard located within the embellishment cluster at the bottom left of the photo. I love taking advantage of this little detail whenever possible because it adds a fun, personal touch to the page. It's one of those small details that helps tell the story and makes the layout feel uniquely mine.

I had so much fun creating this layout and documenting such a special memory. I hope it inspires you to pull out your favorite crafty photos and create something colorful and meaningful with the Color Me Crafty collection. I can't wait to see what you create and share!

COLOR ME CRAFTY BULLETIN BOARD | with Tya

Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to share a project that has brought the biggest smile to my face! I’ve been seeing the adorable bulletin board trend popping up everywhere lately, and I knew the new Color Me Crafty collection would be the perfect match for this sweet pink bulletin board that is destined to hang in my craft room. Every paper, embellishment, and icon in this collection practically begged to be turned into cheerful décor, and I had so much fun bringing this happy little display to life. Let’s take a closer look at all the fun details! 

 

My Happy Place

The star of the board is definitely the large round “My Happy Place” piece. I used an embroidery hoop as the base, and then I layered several stitched circles together, using some Bubblegum Textured Cardstock and one of the colorful patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad for the center. The oversized title from the Chit Chat creates a bold focal point, and I tied a tiny coral button from the Odds and Ends for an extra touch of whimsy. White pom pom trim around the edge and a soft ribbon hanger finished it off perfectly and added lots of texture. 

 The Crafty Life Corner

Over on the left side, I created a fun banner using bright floral paper from the 6x8 paper pad and layered a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet “The Crafty Life.” A cute paint palette, button, and glue bottle icon from the Icons sticker sheet reinforce the creative theme, and I topped the whole section off with a large striped bow made with sheer ribbon and colorful curly streamers. This section really adds so much personality and movement to the board.

 Favorite Memories Pocket

I wanted to include some special crafty memories, so I used one of the purple envelopes from the coordinating Cards and Envelopes package to create a fun pocket for my photos. I tucked several favorite snapshots inside and added patterned sticker tabs and some Assortment Sprinkles enamel dots to make them easy to pull out. Along the bottom of the envelope, I layered adorable camera, heart and instant photo die cuts from the Odds and Ends featuring rainbows, sunshine, and a colorful hot air balloon. This sweet little section captures some wonderful memories and brings even more happy color to the board.

 Mini Banner Clips 

 

One of my favorite details is the trio of tiny banner pieces hanging from oversized paper clips. Each banner was embellished with lots of dimension and texture. All of them are made with cardstock from the Cardstock Assortment.  Then the other papers are pieces that are from the 6x8 paper pad. The stickers are all from the Puffy Icons Stickers. The first features layered flowers and the sentiment “Crafty Girl.” The center banner says “Making Pretty Things” and is accented with miniature scissors, and the third showcases a sweet little girl image and a tiny cup. I finished each one with white pom pom trim and fishtail banner ends. These miniature decorations add so much whimsy and perfectly celebrate all things crafty.

 Flower Garland 

Across the top of the board, I strung black and white Chunky baker’s twine and added several flowers from the Bits and Pieces embellished with colorful buttons that are actually Puffy Stickers. The garland creates a cheerful finishing touch and helps tie all the elements together while bringing even more color to the display. 

 Creative Inspiration Bookmark

 Along the right side of the board, I added a long inspirational piece featuring one of my favorite sentiments about creativity. This is also found in the 6x8 Paper Pad.  I mounted it onto patterned paper, embellished it with Puffy Sticker hearts, and finished the bottom with an adorable camera icon from the Icon Sticker Sheet. A  coral Doodle Twine bow at the top gives it the feel of a handmade bookmark and adds another layer of charm.

 One of my favorite things about this project is all the little details. The layered flowers with buttons, colorful enamel dots, pom pom trim, oversized paper clips, baker’s twine, ribbon, and dimension throughout make every section feel special. The bright pink frame and neutral fabric background allow all those happy colors from the Color Me Crafty collection to really shine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this cheerful bulletin board has inspired you to create some fun décor for your own creative space. The new Color Me Crafty collection is absolutely perfect for celebrating our love of crafting, and I hope you’ll pick up this adorable collection and create something special to brighten your own happy place. Happy crafting!
