CANDY CARNIVAL FOR INSECT BUG LOVERS | with Karen

One of my daughters is a huge fan of insects. She'll get out her magnifying glass an watch them do their work as they move through our yard. I, on the other hand would much rather watch them from a distance....so far away, in fact, that I don't even know they are there!

But any cute little critters that come from the Doodlebug warehouse are a whole different story! I am happy to get up and close with darling Doodlebug characters like the cute spider that inspired my newest treat containers.

I mean, come on! Does it get any cuter than this little guy?

I coloured him up with alcohol marker and double layered the stamp for a bit of extra dimension. I sat him on top of a spider web and just about the cutest spider themed paper you can imagine! A little sentiment cut from the 6x6 paper pad finishes it all off!

This little project may be crawling with spiders, but I am pretty sure my daughter isn't going to be the only fan. Doodlebug insects can crawl around on my crafty table any day!

Thanks for stopping by!

CANDY CARNIVAL LAYOUT | with Tegan

I love everything about Halloween so it's no surprise that I can't put down the new Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival collection! The bats are adorable, the skeleton guy is so cute, and the colors just scream Halloween fun! This collection was perfect for documenting some of my favorite photos from my last visit to Disney World at Halloween time.

I started off by creating a fun background of three tone-on-tone patterned papers to make my background. I used the Ticket Booth, Star Attraction, and Costume Contest patterned papers. I then used white cardstock and the web from the Doodlebug Spider Circle Cut File to cut out 5 webs. I then backed them with different fun designs from the 6x6 Paper Pad. And how adorable is that skeleton Odds & Ends piece? Did you notice the little Sprinkles enamel shaped cupcake I added in his hand?

I embellished my second photo with more Odds & Ends pieces, Mini Icons Stickers, and star shaped Sprinkles. I added a couple eyes from the Eye See You Sprinkles to the 'BOO!' Odds & Ends piece that is my title. Did you also see that I added a candy apple Sprinkles enamel shape in this gal's hand too?

What is your favorite part of the Candy Carnival collection?! It is filled with so many fun (and YUMMY!) elements and embellishments I personally can't decide on a favorite!
