SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER NOTEBOOKS | with Miguel

As we approach the end of 2025 and with the cold weather already setting in, I was inspired to make some beautiful notebooks with the Snow Much Fun collection.  These are perfect to document our  wishes and resolutions for the coming new year.

I used the Snow Much Fun textured cardstock pack for lining these because it has the full range of colors to match my patterned papers. I wanted to give a quilting effect with some texture pads and dies I had, and I loved the idea! 


For the decoration, I used Mini Icons, Puffy Icons, and Chit Chats.   If you look closely, the puffy icons perfectly match the faces of the bear and snowman. I love it!



I also made some dividers with the same paper I used to cover my notebooks and added washi tape to give them that extra special touch! 


I hope this coming year is even more wonderful than the one we're about to say goodbye to. Sending you a big hug! See you soon.

SNOW MUCH FUN HELLO WINTER WONDERLAND LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Winter has arrived here in Canada, the cold weather, the snow, the short days are some of my favorite things.   The Snow Much Fun collection is just perfect to document your winter activities and memories.  The fun designs, icons, and overall feel of the collection makes it for a vibrant final product.  Let me show you what I have created.


I wanted to bring some of the details in the photo to the layout, so my choice was to create a frame within the page for this project.


I started by cutting by trimming the Frosted Friends paper to 11'' square, then a large circle from the center of it.   To create dimension and help with my design, I am adding foam adhesive behind the circle frame before adding it to the Ice Crystals paper.  But before finally attaching the frame, I backed the circle with white cardstock and cut papers from the 6x6 paper pad into waves and overlap them at the bottom of the circle.  A bit of foam adhesive helps to create the waves.


Next, I added a few trees from the Sticker icons to the top of the hills,   I added a few more icons to bring more interest to the layout.   I made sure to play with the dimension of the pieces, so that they had a relative size to the hills.


I used a contrasting paper from the 6x6 paper pad to frame the photo, then place it to the right of the circle atop the hills. Just a few extra stickers it was all it needed as there is so much interest every where else on the page.


To finish my page, I mixed pieces of Chit Chat and place it on the opposite side of the photo.  I added one of the Doodle-pops to the left of the title, then added puffy stickers, to the inside of the frame.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it gives you some ideas to use the beautiful Snow Much Fun collection Have a Happy New Year!! XO

SNOW MUCH FUN NEW YEARS CARD | with Kathy

Happy (almost) New Year!  I was lucky to get a little crafty time in during the Christmas break, and had fun putting together this New Year's Card using the Snow Much Fun collection.  This is one of my favorite collections of all time.  The colors are all fabulous, and the critters are just too cute. Take a peek.


I love a 3D card so I decided to make a pop up card.  I started with the Snow Cute Doodle Cuts.  I die cut all of the critters using the Snow Much Fun Coordinating Textured Cardstock.  These packs make it so easy to coordinate!  I also used paper from the Snow Much Fun 6x6 pad  and from the 6x6 Plaid/Polka Dot Petite Prints for the scarfs.  The panels on the outside of the card were also created using paper from the 6x6 pad.  


The trees are from the Icon Sticker Sheet.  I love the splash of green that they add.  I also added a few puffy snowflakes from the Puffy Icons Stickers.  I printed my sentiment on some Lily White cardstock.  Of course I couldn't resist the pun!

And here's the star of the show, the most adorable little yeti! That's it for me today!  Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!  See you in 2026!

OH WHAT FUN STOCKING MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and I’m back today with another fun holiday project featuring the Oh What Fun Collection. This is Project Four using this gorgeous collection, and I created an adorable Christmas stocking mini album with five pages, both front and back!
If you’d like to see how this album comes together from page construction to the final assembly, be sure to check out the process video on my YouTube channel.
I started by cutting all of my base pieces using my Cricut Maker. 
    Stocking Base (White Cardstock):

Cut from 110 lb. white cardstock for a sturdy base
Size: 6.7 × 7.5 inches
Cut five total bases
Top Stocking Fold:
Size: 4.9 × 3.1 inches
I used the offset feature on my Cricut and set it inward
Inner Stocking Layers:
Size: 6.3 × 7.1 inches
Rectangle Layer on Top of Stocking:
Backing piece size: 4.5 × 2.7 inches
Patterned Papers Used:
8991 – Cookies and Candy
8994 – Twinkle Time
8992 – Christmas Tree
8998 – Here Comes Santa
8989 – Merry Christmas
Each page is filled with layers and dimension, mixing patterns throughout the album. The photo mats are designed for 3 x 4-inch photos, with white cardstock mats trimmed to 3.5 x 4.5 inches, backed with leftover patterned paper scraps from previous projects, making them perfect for using up extras. I used a mix of Odds & Ends and Chit Chats to add phrases and create cute little Doodlebug clusters throughout the album.
The ribbon on the cover is extra special; it came from Cynthea at Doodlebug as part of the packaging from a gift she sent me. (Thank you so much, Cynthea! You have the kindest heart.) Her ribbons are always beautiful.
On the cover, I added a Doodle Pop: “Santa On His Way”, featuring Santa on his little train, along with the Christmas Magic acrylic word and enamel dots to finish everything off.
I had so much fun creating this Christmas stocking mini album, and this collection made it a joy to work with. Be sure to check out the blog post to see my other projects using this collection, and don’t forget to visit my YouTube channel to watch the full process video.
Thank you so much for crafting along with me! See you next time!

OH WHAT FUN TAG MINI | with Jen

I love tag albums. I've done them in many sizes from large 6x8 to small using only the Doodlebug tag paper that is typically in a collection. But smaller tag albums are perfect for using up scraps!

Today I have a smaller tag album using my left overs from Oh What Fun. My tags base are 3" wide and 5" tall. I angled to tops and punched holes. I used three colors of Doodlebug Textured Cardstock from the coordinating solids pack but you could use more colors or even make them all the same color. 

The front and back covers of my tag album are cut from the new Christmas Magic acetate. The heavy Doodlebug acetate is amazing from tag albums. On the front I used one of my leftover stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. To that I added a couple of the gingerbread men from the Goody Goody Gumdrops shape sprinkles. 

Inside I used the number squares from the 12x12 paper pack (Flannel Season paper) on the front of each tag. This would be a super simple way to make a quick December Daily style album. Some of the number squares are add to a white flap so you could journal or add small pictures underneath. I did leave the back of each tag blank to add a picture. 


I mixed leftovers from the 12x12 papers and the 6x8 pad. Here I added one of the small journaling cut-aparts from the 6x8 pad.

To decorate the front of each tag I've used a variety of Mini Icons, Icons, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces. The larger embellishments hang off the sides of the tags and just add an extra pop. 


I finished it up with a final acetate tag for the back cover and added another sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. 

And since there are so many tags here is a quick video flip through!

OH WHAT FUN DECEMBER 25th MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and holiday cheer. Today, I have a fun new mini album to share with you titled December 25 that's packed with lots of cute goodies from the Oh What Fun Collection! It's sweet, colorful, and perfect for your holiday memories. ❤️

To make it, I created the album covers out of white acrylic but you could use card stock instead. The front piece is the number 25 and the back is a 6.5"x 6.5" square. I embellished the cover with 3 ahhh-dorable Doodle-pops titled Santa's Elves, Playful Pixies, and Deer Friends. Then, I added some die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and a bunch of fabulous puffy stickers from the icons and words.

Behind the acrylic cover are 12 scrapbook pages covered in cute 12x12 pattern papers. I love the print on the first page. It's titled Berry Christmas and has pretty flowers and holly.

Above, I created a fold-out page and added a striped pocket to the front flap. The pocket is a new die cut shape in the Bits & Pieces and has a cute circular cutout. I tucked the round Santa from the Bits & Pieces into the pocket and it framed his little face perfectly!

Inside the fold-out, I added the 12x12 Cookies and Candy plaid paper, a photo mat, and the stockings die cut from the Bits & Pieces. Did you notice all the toys, presents, and sweet treats in them? Such cute details.

On this page, I added the "All Spruced Up" paper and the Happy Holidays die cut from the Chit Chat. I love its scalloped oval shape. I also added some colorful tabs to the edge of the pages. They're from the Bits & Pieces and have words on them that say ... memories, traditions, and December.

Here, I made a round photo mat using a 4" and a 3.5" circle punch. Then, I created a flippie with white paper and a colorful sticker from the This & That sheet. I added the hot air balloon and stars from the Odds & Ends, and some of the Christmas Eve star shaped sprinkles for shine.

Isn't this pink Cookies and Candy paper pretty? I love the color and all the playful gingerbread. I used a 3x4 card from the Check the Halls paper to make a flippie and added a journaling card from the Merry Magic print inside. Then, a photo mat in the background and a sweet die cut finished the page.

The layout above is another fold-out with space for 4 pictures. On the front flap, I added a photo mat and the Santa's Toy Factory die cut from the Odds & Ends. Look how cute and colorful it is with the toys in the windows! And when you open it ... 

... this page is inside! The adorable elf and the Christmas tree are from the Odds & Ends. I decorated the cute striped tree with a star, some colorful candy, and tiny dots from the puffy icons stickers. 

A pocket is a great place to store extra photos and journaling cards. I covered this one in the Spot of Cheer paper, then added the blue Christmas Eve print in the background. I tucked some cute cards inside from the Merry Magic and Check the Halls paper.

❤️ the colorful string lights on this page! They're from the Chit Chat and to really make them shine ... I added some enamel Christmas Light shape sprinkles on top. I also made a flippie with the 3x4 Happy Holidays card. It's from the Merry and Bright print and the sweet Santa face is from the Odds & Ends.

I hope my December 25 Mini Album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Oh What Fun Collection. To see other projects I made with this adorable line, visit my Heart Shaped AlbumTruck Shaped Album or 12x12 Oh What Fun Layout.  

Thanks for hopping on the blog. I hope everyone has an amazing day celebrating with loved ones. Merry Christmas, crafty friends! 😊

OH WHAT FUN FELT ORNAMENTS | with Kathy

Happy Christmas Eve!  Just a quick post to share some fun little ornaments I made using some of the Doodle Cuts from the Oh What Fun Collection.  I love playing with felt, and I thought it would be fun to try to make some using the ADORABLE Doodlebug images.  Take a peek....


I started with the Santa from the Happy Holidays Doodle Cuts.  The dies from the Doodle cuts cut felt beautifully (I used a metal adapter plate in my Sizzix for a cleaner cut)  I whipstitched him together, then added a stitched smile, and some Doodlebug Sequins and seed beads for the holly berries.  To finish I added a hanger with some Ladybug Doodle Twine.


Next I pulled out the Deck the Halls Doodle Cuts.  I cut two of the back piece (big solid die), the star and some ornaments.  I cut the garland from some white felt and added some red seed beads for the "cranberries".  On top of the ornaments I added some Doodlebug Sequins with seed beads for sparkle.


I thought this was a fun and different way to use my Doodle Cuts!  I wish all of our followers a very Merry Christmas!
