SUMMER FUN BEACH LIFE LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I'm sharing a fun-filled summer layout featuring the adorable Summer Fun collection. This layout perfectly captures a sunny day at the beach and all the colorful, carefree vibes that come with it!

The large Beach Life cut file became the focal point of my page and provided the perfect foundation for showcasing one of my favorite beach photos. To make the title pop, I backed the letters with the rainbow stripe paper from the 6' x 8' paper pad from the Summer Fun collection, creating a bright and playful look that instantly draws the eye.

I also used the collection's vibrant patterned papers to back the sections of the beach umbrella and beach ball cut files. Mixing the colorful prints added lots of interest while keeping the design cohesive. The cheerful yellows, pinks, blues, and oranges really bring that summertime energy to the layout.

To help my photo stand out, I layered it on coordinating patterned papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad and placed it right over part of the beach umbrella. This creates depth and helps connect the photo to the overall design. A few phrases from the This and That sticker sheet, including "Love This" and "Beach Hair. Don't Care." were the perfect finishing touches for documenting this sunny memory.

Of course, no beach-themed page would be complete without cute embellishments! I added some of the adorable Summer Fun icons including the sandcastle from the Diggin Summer Doodlepop, a crab, flip-flops, and seagull all from the Odds & Ends pack and also some shells and starfish from the Puffy Sticker icon set. These fun little details help tell the story and guide your eye around the layout.

I love how the bright florals around the border, frame the clean white background, allowing all of the colorful elements to shine. The combination of the playful cut file and the happy Summer Fun collection made this layout come together so easily.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this page inspires you to pull out your favorite summer photos, and create something bright and beautiful.                                               

Happy crafting!

SUMMER FUN ACCORDION TAG MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I'm back with another Summer Fun mini album.  Two of my favorite types of mini's are accordion and tag books.  I decided to combine the two with this cute album... Take a peek...

I started with two chipboard covers, each measuring 3"x 4.75".  I covered both with the wave side of the water babies paper.  I glued down a piece of seam tape (long enough to wrap around my whole book, about 24") to the center of my front cover and then decorated it with some Odds & Ends, Shaped Sprinkles and a word bubble from the Chit Chats.

Next, I created my pocket accordion pages.  To make them, I first cut 2 pieces of white cardstock each measuring 12"x 6.25".  I overlapped the short sides 1" and adhered together using double sided tape.  I trimmed this one long strip down to be 16.5".  My finished piece measured 16.5"x6.25".  Next I scored the piece.  To create the pockets, I scored the long way 1.75" up from the bottom, and folded it up. My strip measured 4.5" tall when folded.   To create the individual pages, I scored the long strip (with the bottom folded up)  at 2.75", 5.5", 8.25, 11" and 13.75".  I then accordion folded the pages using a bone folder for crisp folds.

To create my wavy boarder, I cut a 6 pieces of the wave paper measuring 2.5"w x 1.75"h.  I used a wave border die from my stash to cut the top of each piece about .25" down. You could also do this by hand.  I glued the wave pieces onto the pocket of each page section, then trimmed the top of the white cardstock to align with the waves.  I then added fishies from the summer school shaped sprinkles and the cute pelican from the odds & ends to decorate.

To finish, I stitched the pockets with my machine to hold them down and glued the covers onto each side of the accordion.

Next I created my tag "pages".  To create my tags, I started with papers from the 6x8 pad, and some lime petite prints cut to 2.5" x 4.25".  I trimmed the top corners, and punched a hole in the middle to make the tags.  I added some doodle twine and combined them with some tags from the bits & pieces in my pockets.

For a little visual interest, I created a cute clip using a lily white mini clothes pin and the seagull from the tropical trio doodle pops.

I decorated my tags with a variety of mini icon stickers, chit chat pieces, this & that stickers, puffy words and bits & pieces.  I also added some photo mats.

This is the perfect mini to document a weekend getaway!  And because everything is more fun when you cans see it in action, I created a quick flip through.

Have a great week, and thank you for stopping by to peek!

SUMMER FUN CAMERA ALBUM | with Traci

Hey friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new scrapbook idea for your sunny warm weather photos. It's a camera shaped mini album made with the colorful Summer Fun Collection. It features pretty flowers, palm trees, cute fish, beach umbrellas, surfboards, and more. It's a fun and simple project for your summer memories!

To make this, I used my white Artsy Albums Acrylic Camera Shaped Album, the 6x8 paper pad, some 12x12 cut apart cards, and lots of cute embellishments. On the front, I wanted a beautiful color so I chose the tone-on-tone floral pattern called Pink Paradise.

My camera album comes with a white acrylic circle for the lens, but I added pattern papers underneath for more color. I punched a 3.5" circle out of the blue polka dot called Gull Friends and a 3" circle from the rainbow stripe titled Beach Towel. My white circle was next, then the scenic die cut from the Bits & Pieces. I think the image looks like a reflection in the lens!

Inside, I covered the white scrapbook pages with colorful pattern papers. Here, I used the sunny Summer Fun print in the background and created a flippie with a journaling card from the 12x12 Summer School paper. I added the "memories" sticker from the This & That, then decorated with a palm tree from the Odds & Ends and some super cute mini icon stickers.

I love the gorgeous flower print on the fold-out page above. To make it, I used the 4x4 "Life is Good" card from the Flamazing Flock sheet on the front flap. Then, I added a matching 4x6 card from the 6x8 paper pad on the inside. They look great together and give this page space for journaling and photos!

For this colorful pocket page, I used the green Paradise Palms print in the background and the Summer Fun paper on the front. Then I added the beautiful flower die cut from the Bits & Pieces and tucked some cute cards inside from the 12x12 Flamazing Flock and Beach Towel prints.

This fun layout has a flippie for 2 pictures AND a pocket! I created the white folding card and adhered it to the page on 3 sides. I added the scenic This & That sticker to the front and tucked a Bits & Pieces tag inside the back. Then, I decorated with the sun from the Odds & Ends and the cute lifeguard mini icon sticker.

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you liked my camera shaped mini album and it inspires you to create something wonderful with the Summer Fun Collection. Its cheerful colors and cute images are sure to brighten your day!

If you'd like to recreate my Summer Fun Scrapbook, the acrylic camera album is available in my shop! Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrappin'. 😊

SUMMER FUN DISC BOUND MINI ALBUM | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Nice to see you all pop by! Today I am so happy to show you my latest Summer Fun project which is a disc bound 6x4 hard cover mini album! It is full to the brim of hidden tuck spots, cute icons and fun areas to memory keep!  Stay tuned to see my video showcase of my mini album which shows all the pages and dimension!

For the focal point on the front over, I've added the sweet is the Diggin' Summer doodle-pop!  I've added some foam adhesive underneath to bring it forward a touch more and it looks so great! To add more dimension, I've added some glitter dust around the ledges and added some Shaker Bitty Bubbles, sweet!

I've loved re-visiting and re-designing with the Summer Fun collection.  Every pattern is adorable and the sea creatures and fun icons make putting together easy! I've just used whatever piece and pattern I've felt and in every Doodlebug collection there is so much to play around with.  From the darling papers to the happy stickers, whatever you pull out to create with is so cute!

To add special touches is my jam! I love to add sewing machine stitching on nearly every page.  The strands of thread add that whimsy touch.  I've enjoyed creating the front and back of every page and cannot wait to fill it with all my families memories.  This would also be such a darling gift.  You can create a mini then package up some more bits and pieces and gift it all together in a basket.  That would be such a well received treasure.

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!

SUMMER FUN - SUMMER MINI ALBUM | with Miguel

I'm ready to document my summer—and what better way than with a beautiful mini-album using Doodlebug’s gorgeous Summer Fun collection! For this project, I used a circular die to create a layered cover featuring my favorite Catch a Wave heavyweight acetate sheet!

To decorate my cover, I added Odds & Ends and Doodle Pops which are the perfect size for these pieces.  I  applied the title using puffy word stickers, and added some sparkle with shaped sprinkles.

For the inside pages, I used various sheet designs, and on some pages, I added small inserts to increase photo capacity, decorating them with odds and ends and mini icons from the collection.

 

I finished my mini-album by binding it with the Cinch, I really loved this deconstructed style; it looks quite different from a traditional album. Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

SUMMER FUN MY FAVORITE MOVIE LAYOUT | with Tarrah

When a scrapbook collection is filled with colorful fish, sea creatures, and beachy vibes, turning it into a Finding Nemo-inspired layout is simply meant to be! Finding Nemo is one my all time favorite animated movies and when I started creating this page, I immediately knew that the bright colors and adorable ocean-themed icons in the Summer Fun Collection would be perfect for bringing the underwater adventure to life.

The focal point of the layout is a photo of the Finding Nemo movie cover, surrounded by a sea of cheerful embellishments that capture the fun and whimsy of the beloved film. The background is made up of the 2x Catch A Wave acetate sheets sewed together to create a shaker pocket, I added the fishies in and then sewed the top closed. I love how this created the perfect underwater setting, while the embossed wave texture mimics the movement of the ocean.

Since Finding Nemo takes place beneath the sea, I wanted the whole layout to feel like an underwater adventure. I did add a frame over the top of the acetate using the Polka Dot Bikini paper. The Summer Fun collection includes so many elements from the Bits & Pieces and Odds & Ends packs that fit perfectly with the movie's ocean theme. Schools of colorful fish swimming across the page instantly bring Nemo and his underwater friends to mind. The adorable sea turtle is a sweet nod to Crush and Squirt as they ride the East Australian Current, while the stingray reminds me of Mr. Ray, Nemo's enthusiastic schoolteacher. Even the jellyfish embellishment references one of the movie's most memorable scenes as Marlin and Dory make their way through a field of jellyfish.

To tie everything back to the film, I added a sentiment that says "Just Keep Swimming", one of Dory's most famous and beloved quotes. It's the perfect finishing touch and instantly connects all of the ocean-inspired elements to the movie. The bold orange title, "My Favourite Movie," using the Tangerine Alphabet Soup puffy stickers, helps draw attention to the movie poster while balancing the bright blues and aquas throughout the design.

I love how easy it is to adapt themed collections to document favorite movies, books, and family traditions. The Summer Fun collection may have been designed with beach days and vacations in mind, but its adorable sea-life icons make it a perfect choice for celebrating the underwater world of Finding Nemo.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to look at your stash in new ways and use themed products to document the movies, characters, and stories that bring joy to your life. Happy crafting!

SUMMER FUN FINTASTIC PAGE | with Traci

Hello crafty girls! Traci here and today, I have a 12x12 scrapbook layout that's "fin-tastic" for some beach, pool, fishing, and warm weather memories. I designed it with the colorful Summer Fun Collection and used one of its cute 🐟 fish patterns as inspiration. Take a look ...

I chose the 12x12 rainbow stripe Beach Towel print as the base and layered lily white cardstock on top. Then, I cut five 2" strips out of the pattern papers titled Gull Friends, Summer Fun, Pink Paradise, Water Babies, and Seashells by the Seashore. I varied their lengths for interest, then punched small fish shapes out using an EK Success Paper Shaper. Next, I added foam squares to the fish and popped them up for dimension.

Above, I added two 3x4 inch photo mats cut from the polka dot Gull Friends paper. To embellish, I added the sun 🌞 die cut from the Odds & Ends and the adorable toucan bird from the Tropical Trio Doodle-pops. I placed him along the top edge as if he was just hangin' out on the photo mat.

At the bottom, I cut the 12x12 Summer School paper into a wave shape and adhered it to the page. Then, I added the Donnie Dolphin Doodle-pops and a few of his enamel water drops. So cute and such a fun name.  

Here, I added the "you're" and "fin-tastic" stickers from the Puffy Words. I love the little bit of shine and dimension they add, along with the Doodle-pops and the popped-up fish. 

I hope this colorful layout inspires you to be creative with the fabulous Summer Fun Collection. Have a wonderful day and happy scrapping everyone! 😊
