LUCKY ME PAPERCLIP MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello Crafty friends! Today, I am sharing this cheerful and colorful paper clip mini album I created using the absolutely adorable Lucky Me collection. This happy little album is perfect for celebrating loved ones, documenting St. Patrick's Day memories, or filling with everyday photos.

The base of this album is 4 pieces of various pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. To make my album, I used the Shamrock  Wishes pattern paper, the Swimming Pool Dot/Stripe and Cherry Gingham/Linen papers, and the Rainbow Drops Acetate. These papers measure 3x12 inches. I layered them together, leaving about an inch on the bottom between each paper. I then folded the papers in half and threaded them through a big gold paper clip. I adhered the papers with strong adhesive, and this made the base of the album. 

To decorate the album, I used All the Things Die cuts, the Puffy Stickers, and the Lucky Me Sprinkles. I also added some buttons, twine, and ribbon from my stash to decorate the pages as well. These all add texture, color, and that signature Doodlebug charm.

The cover is full of layers and dimension! I started with the bright shamrock pattern paper from Shamrock Wishes and then layered it up with a doily, a cute ladybug and flower die cut, and the Lucky Me sentiment sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. A large rainbow colored bow tied with a bright yellow button adds a fun, festive touch. The oversized paper clip binding makes this mini album both functional and adorable.


The first inside pages feature this adorable slot machine die cut that I adorned with a few Puffy Sticker sparkles. 
A "so lucky in love" ticket and a sweet little ladybug die cut add personality and dimension with some added Puffy Sticker hearts. 



This page is all about St. Patrick's Day charm! The adorable leprechaun surrounded by a wreath of clovers and flowers pops against the pretty cherry-patterned paper. These die cuts are all from the All the Things pack. For the dimension, I added an orange Puffy sticker flower.


The acetate makes for such a fun and different page in this album, and I just love all of those colorful polka dots. I added a "you're my lucky charm" banner sentiment die cut along the bottom edge.


I used the Lucky Charm pattern paper to decorate this page, and it's so cute! A cute bunch of mushrooms and a ladybug die cut frame out these cute page.


Bright rainbows and happy sunshine make this page feel extra joyful. I layered a banner shape cut out of the Rainbow Skies paper and then added the 3 die cuts on top. I added a couple of enamel dots to the cheeks on the sun for dimension.


This page features a photo spot and a sweet little car with lucky passengers and a "follow your Rainbow" sticker sentiment. Don't forget to take a look at the cute shamrock Puffy Sticker. It looks perfect on the hood of the cute car.


This little section of the Swimming pool petite print was the perfect spot for this adorable sticker from the This and That Sticker sheet. How beautiful are those flowers? An enamel dot in the center of the bow makes for a simple pop of dimension on this page.


One more acetate sheet was decorated here with a photo mat and some of the cute circle die cuts. It was great to make the front and the back of this page functional because of the similar-shaped photo mat and circle die cuts. 



I cut one of the 3 x4 cut apart cards found on the Color Me Happy paper. I scored the top of the card and then added a photo mat underneath it. This little flippy adds some fun interactivity to the album! Another pretty yellow button is added to the bottom.



I just love this cute little die cut so much! I knew I had to use it in my album! It looks perfect on top of a small photo mat. A few flower die cuts are layered along the bottom with an enamel dot in the center of the orange flower.

The final page includes a tag from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper tucked into a pocket along with another photo mat. I added the "love this" sticker to the top of the photo mat. The pretty green house die cut fit perfectly along the bottom of the pocket. Twine tied at the top of the tag adds texture and a cute finishing touch.  This page wraps up the album perfectly and gives one more spot for journaling or photos.


Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this colorful Lucky Me album has inspired you to pull out this cute collection and create a cute mini album of your own. Whether you fill it with everyday memories, loved ones, or festive St. Patrick's Day moments, it's sure to become a treasured keepsake. 
Happy crafting, friends!

LUCKY ME HAPPY LIFE LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna back again sharing a new layout using the Lucky Me collection. This collection is just so happy and fun to work with. I thought it would be perfect to document a few photos of our everyday life. Sunny and I walk to the park daily and it's honestly my favorite part of our day. It gets us out of the house and who doesn't love to feel sunshine on their face? The best! Here's my page: 

Let's talk about Doodlebug's cardstock for a second.. Vibrant, thick and textured.. The best!! It's honestly my favorite and I thought it would be fun to highlight the coordinating set on this page. I pulled out the cardstock pack and trimmed all of the colors down to 1/2x10 inch strips. I chose the white cardstock as my main base and then matted it with the black cardstock. I knew it would allow the cardstock strips to pop off of the page even more!

I then took all of my strips and arranged them in rainbow order on a diagonal. Just seeing them lined up like that made me already love the page haha! I needed a little bit of pattern, so I matted my photo using one of the 6x8 papers and popped my photos up on foam tape. The matching diagonals and all of the bright colors really make this page so happy.

In going with the happy theme, I chose 'Happy Life' for my title and adhered the pieces under my photos. The boldness of the black 'happy' pairs nicely with that black cardstock base and I love it. I then went through the Puffy Icons and chose a subtitle to go under my title and it couldn't have been more true. My girl really does have a heart of gold!


I started working on building the rest of my page with some embellishments. I pulled out the adorable Lucky Charm Shaker-Pop and adhered it towards the left side of my larger photo. It went perfectly with my cardstock rainbow and it's adorable! The little charms hanging from the cloud..! Next, I pulled out a few die cuts from the All The Things pack and then sprinkled in a few of the Icons and Mini Icons stickers. I liked the idea of having a lot of smaller elements on this page. I didn't want to take too much away from the cardstock strips.


For some final touches, I added in some of the Sprinkles and a few ladybugs from the Puffy Icons sticker sheet. Here's one last look: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!

LUCKY ME - LUCKY ME LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Do you love bright and happy projects? Well look no further, todays layout is bursting with rainbows, hearts, shamrocks, and that signature Doodlebug charm'! The new Lucky Me collection was the perfect match for a photo I absolutely treasure of my two sons.


The first thing that inspired this page was the playful mix of patterns in the collection. From happy hearts to charming clovers, every piece feels like a celebration of joy and gratitude. I started with a clean white background so the colors could really shine, then framed the page with the rainbow‑striped patterned paper for that quintessential Doodlebug pop. To create the large clovers, I took my heart dies and the papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad and assembled 3 lots of 4 leaf clovers using foam tape under each heart for dimension. 


For the stalks of the clovers, I used various scalloped border strip stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. The adorable sun icon peeking out from the side adds such a happy vibe, and I love how the super cute cloud Doodle Pop and mini icons bring everything together.



The title 'Lucky Me' comes straight from the collection and sits proudly above my photo. The bold lettering paired with the candy‑colored palette makes it stand out beautifully. I added a small sentiment sticker just above the picture to pull in a heartfelt touch.
The photo nestles right among the whimsical mushrooms, birds, and greenery and instantly grounds the layout and creates a darling little scene right at the bottom.


No Doodlebug project is complete without a sprinkle of finishing touches. I added tiny florals, heart sprinkles, and a couple of sentiment tabs like “My Lucky Charm” and “Blessed” to complete the storytelling. These little pops of color add so much personality without overwhelming the design.

This layout came together so effortlessly thanks to the bright, happy pieces in the Lucky Me collection. It’s the perfect mix of playful and heartwarming, and it truly captures how grateful I feel for the moment in my photo.

If you're looking for a collection that radiates positivity, works for everyday memories, St. Patrick’s Day projects, and everything in between—this one is pure magic!

Happy creating!
