HOMETOWN USA TRADITION MINI ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Nice to see you all pop by! Today I have some more red, white and blue inspiration for you when you next need to create something special! The best part about creating a mini album is that you can either keep it or gift it. My mini album keepsake is one that you could create and leave on the dining table at your next family gathering for your guests to add their fave traditions too! Stay tuned to see my video showcase of my mini keepsake album! 

My tiny but mighty 3.5 x 5" mini album is super chunky and has sweet tuck spots and areas for guests to add their fave family tradition like who gets to light the most firecrackers, who bakes the best dessert and who eats the most stuffing or who drinks the most lemonade!

This page holds a sweet tuck spot for some journaling.  Perfect for a photo or two!

I love using the mini icon stickers as ephemera pieces, they are just the right size for mini projects.  How cute is this little parade cluster! I love to layer each piece one by one to create a scene.  So adorable!

Using the 6x6" paper pad, I cut some of the journaling spots and used them as piece to tuck more tags into.  This spot would be so cute to let guests write on a tag each.  

The last couple pages have cardstock spots for more memory keeping.  I love the idea of letting everyone write their best July memory.  In years to come it can be looked back over and cherished!

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

HOMETOWN USA DOODLE POP CARDS | with Karen

It's Doodle-pop time!!!! Today I decided that I was going to break into the beloved collection and use some of the darling Doodle-pops from the Hometown USA collection. Because really, is there anything cuter than a Doodlebug Doodle-pop (even if it is a bit of a tongue twister)?

For this set of cards, I decided to use the coordinating Cards & Envelopes as a base. I love this product because there is such a wonderful selection of sizes and colours with envelopes that are just as beautiful! They are such an easy way to start your cards off without having to decide how big each one is going to be (and whether you have an envelope that will work with it)! From there, I just cut some patterned paper in Picnic Plaid and Polka-dot Pride for a matt and used them as the first layer on each card.

And then the fun began! I grabbed two different Doodle-pops (Bluebirds and Festive Floral) and the amazing Shaker-pop - Freedom Fireworks as the focal point for each card. I added some more layering pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack and some sentiments from the Chit Chat pack. Some darling Doodle-twine and a Mini Doilie in Ladybug were the perfect anchor for the tag-like sentiment I selected. A few Mini Paperclips in Blue Jean also added a bit of texture on one card that needed a bit of something "extra".

Oh, and because I was having so much fun with these, I decided to decorate the envelopes as well to coordinate a little bit more with the cards I created. I think of it as a little sneak peek for the card to come!

You know, as hard as it can be to use my Doodle-pops, I never, ever regret using them. They really are show stoppers and just help these cards really pop (pun intended). And now I have an excuse to collect some more! :) Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HOMETOWN USA FESTIVE FLORAL SHAKER | with Miguel

Without a doubt, Doodle Cuts are one of the many Doodlebug products I love. Especially the shaker versions, since they let you play around with other products. I really enjoy making them and keeping a stash on hand to decorate special projects, though I have to admit they look beautiful all on their own!

I used the "Hometown USA" solid assortment to die cut all the pieces, and I also cut the shaker frame from foam to create the 3D depth needed to hold the shaker filling—for which I used a mix of colors this time.

Another product I recommend using are Shape Sprinkles.  They add an impressive shine to projects, making them more eye-catching and special—especially since all Doodlebug products coordinate perfectly. 

Here are some photos of the materials used for this piece. I hope you find them really useful when creating. Thanks for stopping by! See you soon.

HOMETOWN USA YEAR 6 PROM LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I'm sharing a special scrapbook layout featuring some treasured Year 6 Prom memories my niece recently celebrated. I created the layout with the bright and festive Hometown USA Collection. While this collection is perfect for patriotic celebrations, I loved using the classic red, white, and blue color palette to document these memorable photos.

For the background, I combined two patterned papers, placing the soft blue polka dot design alongside a vibrant red print. The split design creates a bold backdrop while helping draw attention to the photo cluster in the centre of the page. To soften the transition between the papers, I added a wavy border strip and layered patriotic bunting across the top of the layout.

The focal point features three photos layered on coordinating cardstock mats and embellishments. I tucked die cuts and icon stickers behind the photos to add dimension and visual interest. The fireworks elements from the Odds and Ends pack work beautifully with the celebratory theme, making them the perfect addition for documenting such an important milestone.

To create movement across the page, I incorporated stars, banners, and decorative accents throughout the design. The adorable character die-cut adds a touch of Doodlebug's signature charm, while the "Time to Celebrate" sentiment reinforces the special occasion.

I used the Alphabet Soup letter stickers in Ladybug to build my title, "Year 6 Prom," placing it prominently above the photos and a little at the bottom. Additional sentiments such as "Having a Blast!" and "You're So Sweet" help tell the story and add extra personality to the layout.

I finished everything off with scattered stars from the Star Spangled enamel pack and added a few layered elements to give the page extra depth and texture. I love how the festive colors and fireworks motifs highlight this happy memory and make the photos shine.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope this layout inspires you to use the Hometown USA Collection for more than just holiday celebrations and to document those special milestone moments with bright colors and playful embellishments. Happy crafting!

HOMETOWN USA CARDS | with Kathy

The Hometown USA collection is great for more than just patriotic projects!  I used the collection to create some fun summer cards!  Take a peek...

For my first card, I decided to use the sweet Festive Floral Doodle Pop.  I love the cute little flowers and those silver hearts add a great touch of shine.  I framed it in a scalloped cut out and added the silver Happy Birthday chit chat.

For my second card, I wanted to use the adorable Blue Birds Doodle Pops.  They're just so cute!  I die cut flowers using the Festive Floral and Pocket Full o' Pride Doodle cuts.  I added some coordinating sprinkle centers.  For a little touch of shine I added the You're so Sweet chit chat.

EEK!  Those birdies are cute!  Have you created any projects using the Hometown USA collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Socials, we love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.
