SUMMER FUN - SUMMER FUN & SUN LAYOUT | with Tarrah

If you love sunshine, smiles, and everything cute under the sea, today's layout is for you! A vibrant and joy-filled layout created using the Summer Fun collection along with a cut file.

At first glance, this layout screams happy summer vibes! Centered around a sweet photo moment by the beach, the design is brought to life with bold colors, playful embellishments, and a perfect blend of patterns and textures. 

 

I love the papers from the Summer Fun collection. Each word in the cut file is backed with a different paper design, creating a playful, dimensional look. Under the cut file I added some blue mixed media, I love how it makes it the cut file pop off the white background cardstock. I layered one of the papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad under my photo.

I trimmed down the white cardstock and adhered it to the Beach Picnic patterned paper. The cut file is popped up using foam adhesive, I love how this creates shadows and dimension. The animals in this collection are absolutely adorable, on this layout I have added dolphins, jelly fish, sea horses, octopus, fish and a chameleon! 

With the embellishing I added some with a tone on tone look and some not tone on tone, the gorgeous, bright colors just had to be added as much as possible on my layout! I added a sub title taking the words Summer Awaits from the Chit Chat pack and adhering them using foam adhesive at the bottom of the cut file.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dive into your summer memories and get creative with our newest release! Happy creating!

SUMMER FUN SHADOW BOX | with Miguel

Summer moments are magical and unforgettable, so I decided to create this shadow box with a beautiful photograph of an afternoon by the pool, giving it color and life with Doodlebug's beautiful Summer Fun collection.

For this composition, I cut several pieces of paper from the collection and made small rolls to incorporate them once I had prepared my base with cardstock and the wave acetate.

I previously painted a wooden frame with blue acrylic paint to give it that summer color.

Then I added my photo and started putting together my composition with Doodle-pops, shape sprinkles, and chit chat. I loved the result because it gave me a 3D effect, making it look more real. 

Thanks for reading. See you soon.

SUMMER FUN - ENJOY SUNNY DAYS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Summer is coming to an end! Thankfully we have all the memories of sunny days and adventures, and the beautiful Summer Fun collection to create the right keepsakes with these memories. All the colors and designs in the collection are just perfect for this.  Let me show you what I have created:

Lots of color and texture to bring the feel of a day in the pool for this layout.    The waves in the pool in the picture were the inspiration for my page.

I am using Petite Prints for the base of my page;  this was trimmed by 1/2"and all sides and framed with the Beach Towel paper.  I added  the scalloped strips from the Cardstock Stickers to the top and bottom of  the base, then tore strips from the Water Babies paper -to create waves- and adhere them  in an overlapping pattern on the base.

The space between the "waves"-paper strips- was the right spot to bring embellishment and fun to the page.   I added pieces from the Odds & Ends, Mini Icon Stickers, Puffy stickers on the outer edges of the strips, then decided to attach my photo.

I backed the photo with papers from the 6x8 paper pad before placing it on the layout.  I added a few pieces of Chit Chat, cardstock stickers, and one of the Doodle-pop cameras to the top right corner of the photo.

To finish my page, I combined pieces from Chit Chat, Word Puffy Stickers, and Odds & Ends to create the title at the bottom of the photo; then added a few Sprinkles through the clusters on the page.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to get your Summer memories documented.   Make sure you share with us what you create with the beautiful Summer Fun collection  XO

SUMMER FUN THIS IS PARADISE MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends, It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity with another bright and happy project using the Doodlebug Design Summer Fun Collection. Today I’m sharing a mini album/journal bound with the Multi Cinch Machine and Spiral Binding Wire. This project is perfect for capturing those sunny beach memories!

I started by cutting two chipboard pieces to 5 ½” x 8 ¼”. To cover them, I used two pieces of cardstock measuring 7 1/8” x 10”: Pink Paradise (Paper #8931) and Summer Fun . I centered enter the chipboard on the paper, leaving about ¾” all around. I then mitered the corners with my bookbinding tool, added double-sided adhesive, and wrapped the paper neatly around the chipboard.

For the inside covers, I used Water Babies paper cut to 8 ¼” x 5 ½”. Using the Cinch Machine, I punched holes and added the spiral binding to hold everything together. My album has 16–18 pages inside, but you can add fewer if you like. Some pages are fully decorated, while others are left open for larger photos.

 

The base pages measure 8 ¼” x 5 ½”. I used a mix of Polka Dot Bikini, Seashells by the Seashore, Flamazing Flock, and cardstock from the Summer Fun Textured Cardstock Assortment Pack.  Inside, I included Tags from Beach Picnic and Summer School Cut Apart Cards. I also added pockets, journaling spots, and interactive tags so you can tuck in extra memories. Stickers, die cuts, and Doodle-Pops like the lobster and sandcastle add dimension and fun to every page.

This cheerful mini album is perfect for recording vacations, summer adventures, or beach days, and it’s so fun to make! With love,

SUMMER FUN - FUN IN THE SUN LAYOUT | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook page that I created with the beautiful Summer Fun Collection. If you love bright cheerful colors and cute summer icons, this is a great layout idea for your favorite photos of the beach, a vacation, backyard fun, and sweet sunny memories. 🌞

I started with a 12x12 sheet of lily white card stock for the base. Then, I layered half the page with the beautiful blue floral called Let's Luau and the other half with the Pink Paradise pattern.

Next, I centered another sheet of white paper and added 3 photo mats across the top. I made these out of the Water Babies print, the Petite Prints Candy Stripe and Sprinkles in bubblegum, and the Gull Friends print.  

This page needed a splash of sunshine, so I cut a narrow strip of the Summer Fun pattern, notched the ends, and adhered it in the center. I added the This & That "Fun In The Sun" sticker on top and embellished the corner with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and more This & That stickers. I really do "love this"! 

In the right corner, I added a photo mat cut from the back side of the Pink Paradise print. Those colorful flowers are so pretty! Then, I decorated using more This & That stickers and Odds & Ends pieces. And ... she was complete! Simple, fun, and perfect for happy warm weather pics! 

I hope this colorful layout inspires you to document your own summer memories with the fabulous Summer Fun Collection. Until next time, happy scrapping! 😊

SUMMER FUN - SUMMER TIME LAYOUT | with Tarrah

If you're anything like me, summer is all about sunshine, laughter, and making sweet memories — and the Summer Fun collection perfectly captures that sunny spirit in every sticker, paper, and embellishment.

For this layout, I documented a fun beach day with my Mum at Jimmy’s Beach in NSW, Australia. The colorful striped background immediately set the tone for a playful and vibrant vibe — and how perfect are those colors?! Pink, orange, yellow, green, blue... it's like a rainbow exploded in the best way possible!

I added a scalloped border strip from the This and That sticker sheet across the top for a little extra dimension and tucked in some fun elements like a mini parrot Doodle Pop sticker, hearts from the Sam & Sally Seahorse Doodle-Pop, and the cutest little 'Vitamin Sea' sentiment from the Chit Chat die-cuts pack. Doodlebug never disappoints when it comes to adorable details!!

I layered up lots of the coordinating die cuts and stickers from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs — tropical leaves, a rainbow umbrella, beach ball, and of course, that sweet 'Summer Time' title cluster.

At the bottom of the layout, I included a journaling spot labeled 'MEMORIES' from the Bits and Pieces pack to record the location and date of our beach trip. A cute pink flamingo Doodle-Pop and floral accents also from the Bits and Pieces pack helped tie it all together and frame the story.

And let’s not forget that photo! It’s always the centerpiece — and the happy faces in it remind me exactly why I scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dive into your summer memories and get creative with Doodlebug’s newest release!  Happy creating!

SUMMER FUN - SUN'S OUT MINI ALBUM | with Niella

 Long Summer days mean more memories to be documented! Why not make some cute mini albums for a fun twist on a scrapbook album! You could create several and hand them to friends and family to use to memory keep and hand them back for safe keeping or as gifts! How magical! Hi crafty friends, welcome to my second project with the adorable Summer Fun collection. Here are some key pages, and to see the whole album, check out my showcase video at the end, yay!

My mini album is 6x3 and contains 8 6x6 pages of patterned paper, folded in half.  To assemble, fold each page across ways and secure each page back to back.  Soon you'll be left by 16 pages to decorate, yay! My favorite part. How stinkin' cute is this cover! I've used the beautiful Seashells by the Seashore paper, I adore the tangerine starfish all collectively in rows! It's topped with doodle twine and a Sam & Sally seahorse doodle pop. To complete the mini album you wrap a piece of cardstock around the front to back.  So easy and fun!

Let's take a look inside! Don't you just love the view of the tabs here! I love them all lined up, it's brings a nice collective view of each subject. This page is created with a fold out page on the left and is created with the Summer Fun paper.  This scene paper is so fun and show all the colors and beach icons! It is awesome! Love the cluster of mocktails; hello!

Skipping ahead a couple pages, shows one of my favorite patterned paper fittingly named Beach Towel. Clusters of snorkeling & seashells brings me joy.  I love the pop of colors and that sweet starfish face, so cute! The Odds & Ends ephemera pack is so versatile and has so many fun and perfect pieces to add to any project.

Here we come to the next spread with the happy Gull Friends paper.  Such cute sea birds and beach sheds! I loved putting these pages together, they fit so well against each other.  There's a fun element to this page, check out my video below to see!  The beach sheds double as a fun tuck spot for your photo's or some journaling. 

Are you ready for a Fin-Tastic interactive page crafty friends? This spread folds out and show the cuteness of the Summer School paper with the fold out Polka Dot Bikini paper and some vellum.  Another fun element is the removal dolphin from the Odds & Ends ephemera pack.  For this page I've pulled some puffy word stickers from the Puffy Word pack and highlighted these words with the scallop edges from the This & That cardstock sticker page. So cute!

The last page is so fun! This features a tuck spot, decorated tags from the Bits & Pieces ephemera pack.  Everything on these pages come together perfectly.  One of my fave pieces to use in any Doodlebug collection is the coordinating cardstock.  Every color matches the collection and can be used is so many ways. You never have to dig through your stash of cardstock to find a matching color as it's all in one pack. Genius!

SUMMER FUN SPLISH SPLASH LAYOUT | with Nathalie

It is the season of sunshine, beach, and fun!  And I am so glad that the beautiful Summer Fun collection is here to help me document all those fun and colorful memories with it.  I think all the fun designs and vibrant colors are just the perfect complement to our sun filled memories. Let me show you what I created: 

I  wanted a design that would bring your eyes to the photo but at the same time showcase the fun look of this collection. So, I set to construct a sunburst design for my page using different patterns from the collection.

I started by gluing half of the Water Babies paper to the bottom of the white cardstock from the Texture Cardstock Assortment, then selected a center point for the photo.  Once I marked the spot, then I pulled my 6x8 paper pad and started cutting some of the papers into triangular strips to fit on   the page.

I laid them on the page so that the triangular pieces start at the designed point on the page and cover the top part of the paper.   I made sure that the triangles fan out of the center point marked, lay flat on the page, and then trimmed the excess outside of the layout.

Once the sunburst design was complete, I set the photo onto  a piece of the Let's Luau paper and set it atop of the joining point of the papers.   Next, I mixed pieces from Chit Chat, This & That stickers, mini sticker icons, and icon stickers to create clusters at the top left and bottom right corners of the photo.

Once the title was set on place, I then needed to balance the page by adding a smaller cluster at the bottom of the page.  This time, I pulled some of the This & That stickers and added a few icon stickers to complete the page.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to pull your Summer Fun collection to document your fun filled memories. XO
