SNOW MUCH FUN SNOW DAY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! I hope you all stayed safe last week during the insane ice storm. Our son in Northwest Louisiana got a ton of snow and his college was closed all week. It was crazy and I'm grateful he stayed safe. We didn't get snow out where we live, so I dug out an older photo of our dog Luna playing in the snow a few years back. Who doesn't love puppies in the snow?! Here's my page: 

To start, I thought it would be fun to change it up and have a patterned paper as my base instead of my usual go to of white cardstock. I ended up choosing the Snow Much Fun patterned paper and I absolutely love the white polka dots! I then went through the rest of the 12x12 patterned papers and selected all of the snowflake patterns. I ended up using these papers: Frosted Friends, Snow Day, Ice Crystals and Wintery Woods. I trimmed the Wintery Woods and the Snow Day papers into rectangles and then trimmed the Frosted Friends and Ice Crystals papers into strips. I layered them all together in an upside down "T" design and adhered them to my base. I love the look of all of the different snowflake patterns together!

I then matted my photo using several of the 6x8 papers from the paper pad and adhered it right in the middle of the beautiful Wintery Woods paper. That blue is just so stunning and really pops on my layout! Next, I went through the Bits & Pieces to find a journaling piece. I selected the notebook die cut, it's one of my favorites!! I added my journaling and then adhered it to the right of my photo. Not only would it be my journaling spot, but it would also serve as another placement for an embellishment cluster! I pulled in a few of the Icons stickers and layered them together on the top left and then made sure to include a snowman piece from the Odds & Ends pack. Adorable!

For my title, I chose the words 'Snow Day' from the Chit Chat pack because this day, was indeed a snow day! It was actually a snow week! For some extra interest, I made sure to pop the title up on foam tape and then I also embellished around it. Our dog Luna is mainly black and white (she has a little brown on her face) so I thought the adorable Penguin Pals Doodle-Pops were the perfect additions to the page!!! I added one near my title and then sprinkled a couple more on the opposite side of my layout. 

I then built another embellishment cluster up at the top left of my photo since it seemed to empty in that area. I layered a few of the circle elements from the Bits and Pieces down first, added that cute 'Winter' tab and then followed all of that up with that cutesy bunny and tree. I ended up cutting the circle elements in half so that I could carry them over to the bottom right of the design. This helped balance and ground that cluster that I had started with first. 

Lastly, I sprinkled in some of the small snowflakes from the Puffy Icons around the page and then drew some bold black lines around the edge of my layout using a pen from my stash. Here's one last look: 

Thank you 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!

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER WONDERLAND GRID LAYOUT | with Tarrah

There’s something magical about winter—the crisp air, the sparkle of fresh snow, and those peaceful blue‑tinted landscapes that make the season feel like a storybook. Today I’m excited to share a layout that captures all of that magic using the adorable Snow Much Fun collection.

This layout brings together cool winter blues, charming seasonal icons, and a grid-style design that beautifully highlights each photo. If you love documenting snowy adventures or simply adore winter-themed crafting, this page is bursting with ideas and inspiration!

The Snow Much Fun collection is perfect for winter photos—its mix of icy blues, mint greens, soft purples, and snowy whites sets the perfect backdrop for chilly memories. I layered patterned papers in various shades of blue to create a frame that pulls the eye into the center of the layout, giving the page both structure and softness.

The grid design allows for multiple photos without overwhelming the layout. With winter landscapes as striking as these, it’s wonderful to give each moment its own spotlight!


At the heart of this layout sits an adorable snowman duo from the Snow Much Fun Odds & Ends pack. I created a layered scene behind them using coordinating patterned papers, but the real star of the centre area is the shaker pocket I made underneath, machine stitching in some Flurry & Ice Crystal Shakers behind the Let It Snow Acetate Paper.
The little bits of color inside the shaker add movement and magic—like a swirling snow globe right in the middle of the page. It’s such a fun way to add texture and an interactive charm, and it ties in perfectly with the winter theme.


Doodlebug’s signature icons and mini stickers help bring even more personality to the layout. Mittens, trees, little snowflakes, and scattered snow‑themed shapes are tucked around the page to add softness and visual interest without overwhelming the design.

I also used sentiment pieces like “Winter Wonderland” and “Snow Much Fun” to anchor the theme and help guide the viewer’s eye across the page. Pops of purple and mint green break up the cool blues and add a cheerful, playful contrast.

This layout documents a stunning winters day—beautiful blue skies reflected on icy water, tree silhouettes in the snow, and crisp paths leading through frosty scenery. The multiple photo strips help tell the whole story at a glance while keeping the page clean and cohesive.

If you’ve ever found yourself with too many beautiful winter photos to choose from, this type of design is perfect for letting them all shine.

Mini snowflakes, enamel accents, and the sparkle from the shaker pocket all come together to give the layout a fresh, frosty feel. The Snow Much Fun collection makes it incredibly easy to create a page that is both cute and elegant—just the right combination for winter crafting. Happy crafting!

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER BOOKMARKS | with Niella

 Hi crafty friends! Hope you've settled nicely into the New Year and are all snug and cozy! Let's jump right in with a hot beverage today as I bring you my third project revisiting the very cute Snow Much Fun collection by Doodlebug Design! Large bookmarks! These layered and fun 2.38 x 7" bookmarks are sure to please! I have a video showcase at the end, so read through and I'll see you at the end.  Yay!


Before I start creating, I like to grab my items and then spread out all the papers, stickers alongside the extra bits and pieces so I can be inspired by the colors and characters, and Doodlebug never fail to have the cutest and most delightful faces. How do you begin creating? 


With these bookmarks, I first created the bases with white cardstock.  Each of these bases are 2.38 x 7".  Once I have these cut out, I start to layer patterned papers and strips of cardstock.  Scallop edges adds extra texture and if you know my projects, you'll know I love my scallop scissors!  Once I have the papers all adhered with liquid glue, the fun part really begins; building each bookmark!


How cute is the little wolf hat and stripped scarf.  She's ready to have fun in the snow with her buttoned up jacket and mittens, so adorable! To pop the ephemera pieces, I've used foam squares to bring dimension to each bookmark.  I've designed each one so the top part sits above the book pages.


Close up photos show how dimensional each bookmark is.  I used mainly the Odds & Ends ephemera and the speech bubbles and tab stickers are from the This & That cardstock sticker sheet.  The snowflakes are extra cute, so I used them here and there to jazz up the bookmarks. How sweet are all the faces! Hi cute miss bunny and happy mister snowman! Adorable!



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