April Showers bring May Flowers.
I just can't seem to get enough of the Simply Spring Collection that I keep adding to my Daily Doodles. This time I created my weekly layout for the first week of May. It's all about flowers, flowers and more flowers.
All the flowers are in bloom which can bring joy and happiness. We have gotten enough rain here in Southern California for the flowers to bloom beautifully.
As you can see here, I used the garden flowers craft kit to create these flowers. They are super easy to put together and they make any project look fun.
If you know me by now, I love creating envelopes to hold some of my embellishments. I used an envelope punch board from my stash. They are also super easy to put together and they can also add more colors to any projects.
Envelope full of adorable embellishments that scream "Doodlebug"
I created a larger envelope to hold some of my stamps.
I may not be an expert in stamping but I still love using them in my planner. I do know for a fact that I am horrible in coloring stamp images. I have tried and I failed many times. So I came to the conclusion that I should just leave them simple using black ink.
Adding colorful decor around these stamp images made my weekly layout more cheerful and not so boring if I just used plain stamps alone. Using fun color ink to write in my plan will also do the trick.
I just thought the truck stamp is so adorable that even in just plain black ink, don't you think so?
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you add fun colorful flowers in your planner this month.

I mean, come on! Just when you think you can't have anymore fun mixing and matching and creating with Doodlebug's amazing collections like the new Simply Spring collection, now you can sit down and colour up stamps to add to your creations as well!
And as a card maker who is the biggest and most loyal fan of using the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs for card making, I am so excited to have another great option for embellishing my card fronts!
In fact, I still feature the Chit Chat sentiments on the cards like this adorable pennant piece with the word "beautiful".
This set of cards actually includes the use of two set of stamps that coordinate with the Simply Spring collection. "Flower Girl", and the coordinating metal dies are the perfect images for the ladies in your life (remember, Mother's Day is coming up!)...
...and "Oh, Boy!" is filled with images that are perfect for the men in your life- both young and old!
And truth be told, with this new love in your life, you might want to show an extra amount of TLC to the men in your life so they don't get jealous or anything! I think a cute little card will do the trick nicely, don't you?!
