COLOR ME CRAFTY CAMERA MINI BOOK| with Miguel

The long-awaited moment has arrived: working with the collection that best represents us!   Color Me Crafty is a beautiful collection, full of color and lovely crafty designs. Today I worked with the Smile Doodle Cuts, creating a mini album to document those fun crops and how much fun we had.

This was made with Color Me Crafty Solid assortment, as this product has the perfect color combination. I layered cardstock and foam to add dimension, and also lined the edges of the pieces for a better finish.

For the inside pages, I die-cut from the 6x8 pad since the designs are smaller and are perfect for the size of the album; I then decorated with some of the cut apart cards from one of the sheets in the collection.

 

Some of my favorite products for decorating are the Puffy Icons because they give projects a spectacular shine and make them look very original. Look how beautiful my cover looks in the photo!

Thank you for reading!  Have a great day!

COLOR ME CRAFTY I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING LAYOUT | with Tarrah

The new Color Me Crafty collection is so gorgeous and fun for documenting this hobby we all love! I recently got Chat GPT to create a fun photo of me crafting away at my desk! This page celebrates all things creative with bold color, playful details, and a whole lot of personality.

I used an  'I Love Scrapbooking' cut file (linked below) and cut it from white cardstock.  I backed all of the open spaces from the various patterned papers in the 6 x 8 paper pad, from rainbows and florals to soft pastels and playful prints—creating a patchwork effect that perfectly reflects the fun and variety of crafting. I trimmed down another sheet of white cardstock and adhered it to the Rows of Ribbons patterned paper. I also took 2 of the scalloped border strip stickers from the This and That sticker sheet, placing 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom of the layout.

The mix of patterns brings the whole composition to life while still keeping everything cohesive thanks to the collection’s signature color palette.

The tiny banner at the top spelling 'Crafty' adds a playful finishing touch and ties in perfectly with the theme.

On the right side, the photo becomes part of the story—a vibrant, illustrated image of a crafter surrounded by tools and supplies. The colors and details in the photo blend seamlessly with the Color Me Crafty collection, making it feel like a natural extension of the layout.

Layered embellishments around the photo—including tabs, labels, and icons—help build a visual cluster without overwhelming the design.

This design shines because it balances boldness with structure:

• The large title anchors the layout
• The rainbow borders frame the design without overpowering it
• The embellishments are playful but thoughtfully placed
• The color palette stays consistent while still feeling energetic

This scrapbook page is a joyful tribute to the love of crafting. The Color Me Crafty collection makes it easy to combine bright colors, whimsical icons, and meaningful sentiments into a layout that truly celebrates creativity.

If you’ve ever wanted to document your passion for scrapbooking (or crafting in general), let this page inspire you—go big with your title, mix those patterns, and most importantly… make time to create!

COLOR ME CRAFTY CAMERA MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

When I go to big crops with friends, we all usually bring a little something special for everyone at the table.  Sometimes it's something sweet, other times it might be a little project to do as a group.  When I saw the Smile Doodle Cuts from the Color Me Crafty collection, I immediately thought it would make a cute mini album to make at the table.  Everyone could fill it with their fun crop photos.  Take a peek...

My mini was really easy to piece together.  I started by cutting the camera shapes.  I cut two from Chipboard, and then four more from patterned papers from the collection.  I sandwiched the chipboard between the papers and glued in place.  I used the rest of the dies in the set to cut and decorate the front of the camera, and just the pink top piece for the back.

To make my accordion pages, I cut two strips of lily white cardstock.  One was 2.5" x 10" scored at 2.5", 5" and 7.5".  The second piece was 2.5" x 7.5" scored at 2.5" and 5".  I overlapped one segment of each strip and glued them together.  I then accordion folded the resulting strip.

To attach the pages to the covers, I centered the folded pages on the back of the front cover and glued.  I then took my back cover, making sure it lined up correctly with the front and glued it to the other side of the pages.

Now for the fun part, decorate!

I started by cutting 2.25" squares (I used a stitched die, but you could just cut them with a trimmer) and added them to each of the pages.  I then set to decorated all of the pages using a variety of embellishments including the mini icon stickers, This & That stickers, Chit Chat pieces, Puffy Icon stickers, and puffy words.  I also "sprinkled" a few Shaped sprinkles too!

For this page, I created a flip by cutting a 2" x 4" strip and folding in half to give extra space for journaling.

To make some of the This & That Word stickers and chit chats fit my tiny pages better, I cut them into word confetti.

How cute is that little Doodlebug tote?!!  Looks just like the one I have at home!  

And here are some views of the mini fully opened so you can see all the pages front and back!

I think this would be so fun to make as a group project! And everyone could put their favorite 2" x 2" photos inside! I'll be back in a couple of weeks with another Color Me Crafty project.  If you've created something fun using the collection, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on socials, we love to see your projects!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.
