BERRY SWEET - BERRY SWEET LAYOUT | with Tya

Hi crafty friends! Tya here, and today I’m excited to share a layout that is as sweet as a summer strawberry! I used the absolutely darling Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug Design, and it was the perfect match for documenting this cute little moment with my cat, Winnie, out exploring the garden. Let’s take a closer look at the details! 

In the full shot of the layout, you can see how I used a grid of cheerful 2x2 patterned paper squares from the 6x8 paper pad in bold berry prints, ginghams, florals, and stripes to build a colorful background. I added dimension with lots of embellishments from the "All the Things" die cuts, including the adorable strawberry die cuts, flowers, and some puffy dots, hearts, and flowers from the Puffy Stickers scattered throughout. This gave the page a patchwork quilt vibe, perfect for the sweet garden theme.

One of my favorite embellishments from the collection is this pink polka-dot wheelbarrow overflowing with strawberries and flowers! I tucked it next to the photo of Winnie sniffing the strawberry plant, and perched a little bird on top for extra charm. A puffy red flower and yellow flower  die cut finished off this corner beautifully. 

The “berry sweet” title uses a mix of script and playful fonts in rainbow colors, adding a fun pop to the white space on the right. Just below, I included a few lines of journaling. And how sweet is the little mouse friend peeking out over the flower pot? I thought it framed out the title perfectly.

In the top corner, I added a mini cluster with layered hearts, a “Love You” sentiment, which is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet,  and a soft pop of color from a puffy yellow heart. This small detail helps balance the page while keeping things light and fresh. I did add a few black Nuvo dots here and there on the page around my little clusters - I love the pop of black next to the colorful die cuts.

The highlight, of course, is my curious little kitty, Winnie, captured mid-sniff among the greenery. I love how the warm sunlight and the blossoms of the strawberry plants echo the collection’s theme. She looks totally enchanted, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots to preserve this moment.

The top section continues showcasing the patchwork grid with more berry-printed papers and a happy little strawberry face die cut. Notice the strip of colorful diagonal stripe paper strips - they are from the Strawberry Fields 12x12 paper.  I also added a sweet striped sticker tab and another cluster of flowers to tie everything together. It’s the cutest finishing touch!

 I hope this layout makes you smile and maybe sparks a little inspiration for your own berry sweet memories. This collection is bursting with charm and color—it’s perfect for summer scenes, garden stories, or anything that calls for a fresh, fruity vibe! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you feel inspired to pick up the Berry Sweet collection and create something adorable. Happy crafting, friends—see you next time!

BERRY SWEET SWEET FRIENDS MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey friends! Traci here and oh my goodness ... how stinkin' cute is the new Berry Sweet Collection?! I'm having so much fun with it and couldn't wait to share this adorable mini album titled Sweet Friends. It's perfect for pictures of your besties, your partners in crime, your posse, your favorite gal pals, and trusted sidekicks!

I started with the 6x8 Mini Album in ladybug. I ❤️ this shade of red so much and it's absolutely perfect with this collection. Mix it with a few fresh shades of green, some cute strawberries, and some pretty daisy flowers and you've got something pretty special!

To decorate the cover, I wanted to add the Berry Bouquet Doodle-pops but really make it stand out. So, I cut out a 3" clear acrylic circle for the base and layered ... a 3" scalloped circle punched from white card stock, a 2.5" circle of the Berry Sweet paper, and 2.25" circle from the colorful Sweet Spot print. Then, I added the Doodle-pops on top giving this cover lots of pretty dimension!

For the rest of the cover, I added prints from the 6x8 paper pad. I used the gingham print at the top, a thin strip of the ladybug polka dot in the center, and the adorable Strawberry Fields at the bottom. 

To embellish, I added die cuts from the All The Things package. If you look closely, you'll also notice there are some of the 3D strawberry and flower stickers from the Berry Bouquet Doodle-pops mixed in there too!

Inside, there 20 scrapbook pages that I layered with more fabulous papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I love that the All the Things package has "all the things", LOL.  There is a mix of icons, words, phrases and so many little special bits and pieces to make your projects unbelievably sweet!

The colors on this page ... limeade, cupcake, and ladybug ... make me so happy!  And how cute is that little mouse peeking out from behind the plant?

You know I LOVE flippies so on this page I adhered one of the 4x4 cards to a white flip-up card for extra photo space.  Underneath, I added a piece of the pretty border paper layered on a piece of pistachio petite prints.  I like how a line of pistachio just peeks out from behind and mimics the border on the 4x4 card.

For my pocket page, I tucked two more 4x4 cards inside and I'll adhere photos to the back of these later.  The four circles in the All The Things package worked perfectly as little photo toppers.  I adhered one to the front and back of each white mat to add more cuteness!

I really enjoy coming up with fun ways to use the colorful pages that come in the album.  This time, I used two of the ladybug inserts to create a fold-out page with a pocket on the front.  I plan to add small photos to each of the tags, and inside there is space for two larger photos.  

Well, I know I say it all the time when a new Doodlebug collection comes out, but wow!  This one is beyond adorable!  I hope you all have a "berry sweet" crafty day, and if you want to recreate my album, I will have a preorder for the kits in my shop tomorrow!  Stay tuned!!
