We are starting Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and the weather has improved a little bit. We are still spending time indoors and getting crafty. I am loving the Lucky Me collection as it has the perfect color combination, the cutest icons and it is perfect to document all sorts of stories. Here is what I have created:
I wanted to use a simple design for my page using some of left over pieces from previous projects. So, a clean design was the way to go to highlight both the photo and the rest of the page.
I started by choosing Bumblebee floral/graph petite prints for my background. Next, I cut strips of Clover Patch and My Lucky Charm paper and layered them with some of the border strips from the This & That sticker sheet. I framed my photo with a paper from the 6x8 paper pad, and set it on the layout.
I combined pieces from the All the Things pack and icon stickers to create a large cluster at the bottom left corner of the page. I made sure that it balanced the top part of the layout. I also added a few pieces from the icon stickers to create a cluster at the top right corner of the photo. To finish, I added a few Sprinkles around the page.
I love how this turned out! I hope this inspires you to get crafty with your Lucky Me collection, I cannot wait to see what you will create with it! XO

Hello crafty Friends, It's Conny here from The Daily Life Of Creativity, with the lovely Lucky Me collection. Today I have another fun mini album. This mini
album is 5.5" x 5.5" with scalloped acrylic covers. To start my album I embellished the
front covers. I used the Shadow Box Insert Kit to decorate them. It was easy, I used the shadowbox template as a guide, placing it under the acrylic. I used mostly
Lucky Me icons stickers, Lucky Me sprinkle assortments, bright shapes, and
swapping in the Leprechaun Doodle-Pop to add a little layering among all the other stickers.
I focused my embellishments mostly on the right and middle of the cover, leaving the
left corner open to add an acrylic rainbow charm. I used 1"
gold binder rings to bind the album. Inside, I created a shaker with heavyweight clear acetate. I used 2 pieces stitched into a pocket using my sewing machine. I filled the pocket with the Rainbow Bright sprinkles, the Lots of Luck shaker mix, some pink
sequins, and a few colorful shaker balls. I stitched all the way around and
added eyelets at the top just to make sure everything stays secure.
What I
really love about my first page is how it layers with the cover. When you look
at the album, you see the embellished acrylic first, then the shaker behind it,
and then the patterned paper with clouds and rainbows underneath. I love the movement and depth.
Continuing through
the album, I created photo mats using white cardstock cut to 4.25 by 4.25, and
then layered those onto some of the coordinating Lucky Me Petite Prints. I mostly
used the polka dot sides because I just love how they look. I alternated the
colors depending on the page's patterned paper. I then decorated with all the beautiful icons and phrases from the All the Things Pack.
I added my embellishments using foam adhesive. I placed them on the sides of the pages, making sure to leave space underneath so it is easy to slip a photo underneath. I love doing that because it gives you that layered look, but it still
keeps the page functional. I also trimmed down some of the smaller phrases from
the 6x8 paper pad, like “thinking of you,” “you have a heart of gold,” and a few
others. Those little phrases come in really handy for filling in small areas and
adding just a bit more detail without overwhelming the page.
Throughout the
album, I continued using the shape sprinkles, especially the Rainbow Bright
flowers, adding them into the corners, . I also
used some of the cards and envelopes from the collection. I
resized some of them slightly by trimming them down to turn them into flip pages.
When you flip them up, you have space to add multiple photos or even journaling.
Personally, I like having the
option to hide my journaling; not everything needs to be seen right away,
sometimes it’s just meant for you or for that special person. On one of the
pages, I created a pocket and added a mat using the Lucky Lady shape sprinkles.
They’re dimensional and super cute. Inside the pocket, I tucked in some 3x4
cards, tags, and extra pieces from the collection. One of my favorite details is
the pink envelope from the cards and envelopes assortment. It’s roughly about
4x4 inches, and it fits perfectly on the page. I added holes at the top and
created a simple closure using a 1-inch circle punch, standard eyelets, and some
white string, which makes it interactive but still really easy to use.
This mini album is definitely one of the favorites that I’ve created with this
collection. I already made a chipboard mini album- See
process video here
,
an acetate album, and even some
rosettes, so this is actually my fourth project using Lucky Me - and I’ve honestly
enjoyed every single one. Let me know what you think about this one, and I’ll
see you guys in the next project. Thank you so much for stopping by! Xo, Conny!
Hi friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun scrapbook for spring and St. Patrick's Day. My Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects happen to fall on the same day, so ... I combined the adorable Lucky Me Collection with one of Lori's amazing cutting files to create this cute mini album!
I used the 5x5 Album With Box File (link below) to cut the base out of lily white cardstock, then decorated it with 12x12 pattern papers. On the front of the box, I layered the pretty floral Clover Patch paper, the cute polka dot print titled My Lucky Charm, and the 4x4 card from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper.
Tucked inside the box is a cute mini album, perfect for spring and St. Patrick's Day photos. On the cover, I added the My Lucky Charm paper with its fun little images of rainbows, ladybugs, flowers, and clovers. Then, I added another 4x4 card that says hello sunshine!
Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with more bright and cheerful 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of cute die cuts from All The Things, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats.
On the left page above, I used the adorable Rainbow Skies paper and added a 3x4 card from the Color Me Happy print. I wanted to use the card as a photo mat, so I covered the images in the center with white cardstock. Then, I added the horseshoe and flower die cuts.
On the right, I used the polka dot print called My Lucky Charm, added a square mat, and embellished with more fun die cuts. I used a few bumblebee enamel dots on and around the pot of gold to mimic the coins.
The All The Things die cuts come with 143 pieces that include adorable shapes, icons, tags, and sentiments. So, the spring flowers, the cute blue birds, the Lucky Me that you see above, and all the other die cuts in this mini ... come in one package! It's literally ... all the things!
I hope you like this fun scrapbook and it inspires you to create something special with the wonderful Lucky Me Collection. For a video tutorial on this project, visit my blog. Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊
Hi crafty friends! Top of the morning to you, or evening depending on your timezone! Let's jump right in with a little jig and your fave pair of comfy pants as I bring you my first sweetiful project created with the new mini Lucky Me collection by Doodlebug Design! My pocket shaped 5x4.5" mini album is sure to please! I have a video showcase at the end to show all the pages, so read through and I'll see you at the end. Bonus!
For the front cover, I used my favourite patterned paper My Lucky Charm! I cannot get enough of the mini icons, it's all so cute, I need to cover my craftroom walls with this pattern. For the decorative bits I added the cute Doodle-Pop Lucky Leprechaun, isn't he stinkin' adorable with his striped leggings and dainty top hat! I also included some wired charms to top it off.
The inside page is a stitched page with a vellum tuck pocket for your photos or memory keeping. Can you see the wee shaker pieces! Doodlebug does Shakers if you didn't already know. Love the texture this page brings. The top yellow page is a sheet of yellow glitter foam. Shimmer me!
The next several pages hold special areas for memories and photos! I love including tuck spots that you can add to if it's needed. Ephemera pieces can be used to write quotes on or a funny or special saying. And because my mini album has binder rings, more pages can be added. Lots of stitching and words add to each page.
How adorable is the last page! I've created another vellum shaker tuck spot with the sunshine sticker just behind the pocket, so when it's empty it shows his sweet face. The title pieces are from the All the Things ephemera pack which has over 140 pieces! So generous. There is so much cuteness in one pack. Be warned now, you'll want to use everything all at once :-)
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!
Hello Crafty Friends! It's Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity with a fun mini featuring the new Lucky Me collection. It's fun to put together!
To make your own, start by cutting your album base from the Rainbow Drops Heavy Acetate measuring 4 ½" x 8 ½". Once your piece is cut, score it at 4 ⅛" and again at 4 ⅜". This will provide you with two covers that measure 4 ⅛" each, leaving approximately a ¼" spine in the center. Fold along the score lines to form your album cover.
Now moving on to the inside pages. Cut one strip measuring 4" x 12" from each of the following papers: Color Me Happy, Clover Patch, St. Paddy’s Plaid and Rainbow Skies.
Once those strips are cut, score each one at 4" and 8" to create three connected 4" x 4" panels. These will become your flip pages throughout the album. From the St. Paddy’s Plaid, use the first row of the 4" x 4" cut-apart cards, and score those the same way at 4" and 8".
Next, we are going to create the tag flip insert. From the Color Me Happy paper, locate the rainbow tag strip that includes the Lucky Me leprechaun. Cut three tags together, keeping them attached. Score those tags in the center to create a flip page because the top portion of the tags will be trimmed later, go ahead and punch holes only at the middle and the bottom of this insert. Punch holes at the top, center, and bottom of each piece. The top and bottom holes are about 3/4" on the acetate. (Remember — the pages are smaller so those you punch separately about 1/2" top and bottom- the tag insert only needs holes at the middle and bottom.)
Now for the 3" x 4" card insert from the cut-apart sheet, take the first two 3" x 4" cards on the left side and keep them connected to create another flip page. Mat these with white cardstock to create photo mats, then embellish using the Mini Icon Stickers for added detail.
To assemble the album: Start with your acetate cover. Add your first 4" x 4" scored pages extension so it opens toward the left. Add the second page the same way. For the third page, rotate the scored strip so that the extension opens towards the right. This will give you additional space for extra photos.
Continue alternating page directions throughout the album to create longer interactive layouts on both the left and right sides. In the center of the album, insert the 3" x 4" card flip and the rainbow tag flip insert.
You can also add additional small flip-ups throughout the album using leftover 4" x 4" panels to create more photo space for: 4" x 4" photos, 3" x 4" photos, 2" x 4" photos and 3" x 3" photos.
Thank you so much for stopping by, hope you love creating this mini album - I can't wait to see what you create using this collection. Xo Conny
Hey friends! Brianna Estrella here and I'm so happy to share my very first layout using the new Lucky Me collection. This collection is so fun and happy and I was immediately inspired! Here's my page:
I wanted to bring all of the patterns into this layout so I went through the 12x12 papers in the collection and settled on the beautiful Clover Patch paper. I loved the bright green base with all of the pretty flowers throughout. For my next layer, I wanted a bright pop of pink, so I chose the Bubblegum Swiss Dot paper from the Petite Prints coordinating pack. I trimmed it down to a 10x11size and adhered it down. Then, for even more pop and pattern, from the same coordinating paper pack, I chose the Bumblebee Floral-Graph paper. I trimmed it down to an 8x10 size and layered it on top of the pink paper. Next, I drew some bold black lines around the pink paper to allow it to pop a bit more.
I loved how my base layers were looking and thought I could add a few more patterned layers in, so I pulled out the 6x8 Paper Pad and chose the rainbow paper and the beautiful plaid design. I got those trimmed and adhered down and then matted my photo using the green clover paper. It matched my daughter's shirt in my photo and looks great up against the rainbow pattern. The photo is of my daughter driving her adorable pink car that my parents bought her. She's one lucky girl for sure and she loves cruising down our street everyday!
For my title, I went with "It's The Little Things" and arranged it towards the bottom of my layout. I popped all of the words up on foam tape and then added some of the Mini Icons stickers around it. I love all of the 'little things' in life and to me, they're the most important! I also started to embellish and pulled out that adorable leprechaun driving the orange truck. It was the perfect size and it also became the foundation for the rest of my embellishment cluster.
I added another embellishment cluster up towards the top left of the photo using a few of the die cuts from the All The Things pack. I think that yellow ticket is so cute and it was perfect for this page. I also pulled in a few of the Puffy Icons stickers and a few more of the Mini Icons stickers as well. I love adding all of the smaller elements towards the end. It really brings everything all together!
Here's one last look at this happy go lucky page!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you next time friends!
