FARMERS MARKET - FARMERS MARKET MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello friends! It's Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and I’m so excited to share my project using the charming Farmers Market collection. This warm and colorful mini album is perfect for capturing your fall adventures from visits to the pumpkin patch to cozy family gatherings.

 Let’s get started!
I began by creating a sturdy chipboard base for the album. The covers measure 5” x 8 ¼” and the spine is 1 ½” wide. To wrap the covers, I chose Fall Floral and Falling Leaves,  cutting each wrap piece to 10” x 6 ½”. Centering the chipboard on each wrap piece left about ¾” all around; I mitered the corners and folded them neatly to secure. For the spine, I used a 6 ½” x 5 ½” piece of Falling Leaves, leaving ¾” on each side and 2” flaps on the top and bottom, mitering just about  1/4" of the chipboard before folding. The flaps were adhered to the inside edges of the covers to form the album’s base.
Inside the album, I covered the spine with a 4 ¾” x 5 ½” piece of Falling Leaves, lightly scoring along the fold lines for a clean fit. Each inside cover was matted with a 4 ¾” x 7” piece of purple cardstock from the Coordinating Texture Cardstock (7837). The pages were cut from the yellow and orange textures in the same assortment,  three pieces at 5” x 12”, scored at 8”. From leftover yellow cardstock, I created three hinges measuring 4 ¾” x 1”, scored at ½”. These hinges were positioned evenly in the middle of the spine, starting ¼” from the top, front, and back, with each hinge section measuring ½” wide. The pages were then attached to the hinges for a sturdy, interactive structure.
To add extra function, I included a back pocket made from Farmers Market, cut to 8 ½” x 3 ½”, scored at ½” on three sides, and adhered to the inside back cover. Just before the pocket, I added a flip page measuring 6 ½” x 12”, scored at 3 ½” and 8”, and secured with magnets for a tidy closure. For matting, the hinged pages were dressed in patterned papers cut to 7 ¾” x 4 ⅞”, while the flat pages were matted at 3 ¾” x 4 ⅞”, leaving space for 3” x 4” and 4” x 6” photos.
For the outside closure, I wrapped a 3” x 12” strip of patterned paper around the album adding a 1 ½” circle with an eyelet and string for a playful, functional touch. Finally, I decorated the cover and pages with Farmers Market Icons and This & That stickers, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, Fall Flowers Shape Sprinkles, and Mini Jewels. These embellishments brought texture, sparkle, and that signature Doodlebug charm to the whole project.
This mini album is brimming with autumn colors and cozy details, ready to hold your favorite seasonal photos and memories. You can watch the whole process video for this project over on my YouTube channel. I can’t wait to see how you make it your own!

FARMERS MARKET FRESH FROM THE GARDEN MINI ALBUM |with Jen

I am so excited to get to play with the Farmers Market collection! This is in my top five favorite Doodlebug Collections. The little veggie elements, the fall colors, it's perfection! For my project today I decided to do a simple 5x7 mini album. This album has six pages and will hold about 50 4x6 photos.

On the front I created a little farm stand shaker. When this collection first came out I made a large folio with a farm stand on the cover and it was so fun to reimagine it on a smaller scale for this album. I used lightweight chipboard to build the "stand" and matted it with Buffalo Check Wood Grain 6x6 Petite Prints. For the "shelves" I used one of the border stickers from the This and That sticker sheet mounted on narrow foam tape. I used the Veggie Garden Puffy Icons for all my veggies. I added a couple of bees and a lady bug from the Farmers Market Puffy Icons. Inside the shaker I used Lily White, Ladybug, Bumblebee, Tangerine, and Limeade Shakers.

Inside there are six pages done on a stacked hinge. Each page has a front flap and a back pocket. The pockets each have a 4x6 photo mat. I decorated the inside with various elements from the Farmers Market Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, Bits and Pieces, and This and That Sticker Sheet. 


I have a full video flip through and free tutorial on my YouTube Channel!

Have a great day!

FARMERS MARKET OUR FAMILY MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I have a new project for fall that I made with the fabulous Farmer's Market Collection. As summer fades and autumn begins, we start to see changes in the colorful landscape, feel cooler temperatures, and have fun activities to look forward to. So, it's a great time for a new scrapbook!

I designed this with one of my white 5" x 4.5" acrylic mini albums. But, you could always use cardstock or chipboard for the covers instead. OK, time to decorate!

On the cover, I layered some colorful 6x6 papers. I chose the Market Preserves print with a cute polka dot on one side and lots of fun jars on the other. I used both, then added the beehive pattern called Bee Happy and the 4x4 "our family memories" card from the 12x12 Veggie Sticks paper. 

Inside, I added 12 white cardstock pages (24 scrapbook layouts) to fill with Doodlebug's amazing fall colors, 6x6 pattern papers, and super fun embellishments. On the page above, I added a photo mat and the adorable little bee and jar of flowers icon stickers. So cute!

This next page is perfect for a picture of a pumpkin patch. I covered the layout in bright colorful stripes from the 6x6 Veggie Sticks paper, then decorated it with the pumpkins icon sticker and saying from the 12x12 Veggie Sticks paper. 

I love to have embellishments popping out of the top of my albums. It expands the usable space on smaller pages AND adds visual interest. Here, I chose 3 die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. The round one could be used for photos or journaling. But the cutest part is ... the sweet kitty cat icon sticker in the center!

The Farmer's Market Collection is filled with such vibrant happy fall colors. This gorgeous plaid print is titled Farm Fresh and it's a great example. Love the unexpected touch of purple!

Here is 1 of the 3 pockets I created in this scrapbook. I used the front and back of the 6x6 Bee Happy print to cover the page and pocket, then added the orange pickup truck icon sticker. Can you tell I'm having fun with the icon stickers in this collection? They're so adorable!

Inside the pocket, I added a photo mat and more die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. I love their fun shapes. I chose the floral tag and the lined notepad paper to use for extra photos and journaling.

On this page, I used the 6x6 Market Preserves print in the background. So many little jars filled with colorful veggies! Next, I added the tag from the Bits & pieces, extended it off the page, and tied a piece of tangerine Chunky Doodle Twine to it. Then, I made a photo mat and added 2 tiny critters from the icon stickers. How stinkin' cute is that ladybug and mouse?! ðŸ§¡

Next, a fun interactive fold-out page! I used the whimsical polka dot print called Fall Berries in the background, then added a few leaves and a precious dog icon sticker. On the flap, I made a photo mat that is ALSO ... a flippie with a pretty journaling card inside! It's a great place to list autumn activities.

Doodlebug's Farmer's Market Collection is perfect for ALL your fall crafts whether it's a card, scrapbook layouts, a mini album, or any other paper crafting. I love it and I know you will too!

If you'd like to recreate my Our Family Memories Mini AlbumI'll be offering the DIY scrapbook kit in my shop tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day!

FARMERS MARKET SO FRESH LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm so happy to share a new layout using the fabulous Farmers Market collection. I love when we get to work with new collections, but I also LOVE to bring some of the older ones back! Honestly, they're all just so good and it's so fun to see them in circulation again!! Here's my layout: 

To start, I went through all of the beautiful patterned papers and ended up choosing the Fall Berries as my base. I wanted a bit of pattern, but I also wanted something subtle since I planned on having a bunch of patterned papers on my page. Next, I pulled out a few more 12x12 papers and chose the following ones: Field of Flowers, Veggie Sticks, Garden Seeds and Bee Happy. I trimmed a few 1x8 strips of each one and then layered them together on the base layer. I adhered them a bit wonky for some fun and interest. 

I then matted my photo with the B side of the Field of Flowers paper and then popped it up on foam tape. I centered it right on top of all of my paper strips and then adhered it down. I then pulled out a few floral bits from the Bits and Pieces pack and built a couple of clusters at the bottom corners of my photos. 

I chose a few phrases from the Chit Chat pack and built my title at the bottom of the page. I also pulled a couple of the adorable chalk board signs and tucked those on the sides of my photos. I then pulled a journaling piece from the Bits and Pieces pack and adhered it under my photo. It was the perfect spot!

I then started embellishing the rest of my page. I added in the adorable Veggie Garden Shape Sprinkles around my title. All of the tiny veggies though! I also added in a few Odds and Ends and sprinkled in a few Puffy Icons stickers. This color palette is so fun!

Lastly, I added a few hearts from the Falling For You Shape Sprinkles pack. Those little hearts are so adorable! Here's one last look:

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

SUMMER FUN - SUMMER FUN & SUN LAYOUT | with Tarrah

If you love sunshine, smiles, and everything cute under the sea, today's layout is for you! A vibrant and joy-filled layout created using the Summer Fun collection along with a cut file.


At first glance, this layout screams happy summer vibes! Centered around a sweet photo moment by the beach, the design is brought to life with bold colors, playful embellishments, and a perfect blend of patterns and textures. 

 

I love the papers from the Summer Fun collection. Each word in the cut file is backed with a different paper design, creating a playful, dimensional look. Under the cut file I added some blue mixed media, I love how it makes it the cut file pop off the white background cardstock. I layered one of the papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad under my photo.


I trimmed down the white cardstock and adhered it to the Beach Picnic patterned paper. The cut file is popped up using foam adhesive, I love how this creates shadows and dimension. The animals in this collection are absolutely adorable, on this layout I have added dolphins, jelly fish, sea horses, octopus, fish and a chameleon! 


With the embellishing I added some with a tone on tone look and some not tone on tone, the gorgeous, bright colors just had to be added as much as possible on my layout! I added a sub title taking the words Summer Awaits from the Chit Chat pack and adhering them using foam adhesive at the bottom of the cut file.


Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dive into your summer memories and get creative with our newest release! Happy creating!
