Colorwheel Collection: Dry Erase Frames

We just received the first samples of the new Colorwheel Collection and thought it would fun to use them on this quick and easy gift idea, dry erase frames. They're quick, simple and very inexpensive and the cutest gift ever! 

All you need is some of the new Colorwheel collection papers, stickers, Doodle Twine and this frame from Ikea. We picked up a set of 2 for about $3.99. 

Cut  a 5x7" base page and start building the scene however you'd like. We're showing you two different examples here. The darling vertical frame has a fun butterfly and floral scene along the bottom and we simply glued our Doodle Twine in loops to make it look like the trail of the butterfly. 

The horizontal frame was a quick and easy because we built it around one of the journal blocks from our 4x6 cut out sheet.

We then added some alphabet stickers to say either notes, to do or even something like "remember" would be cute too!

 Then embellish with our darling Sugar Coated stickers as desired and put finished 5x7 piece inside frame.

That's it...add a dry erase marker you can pick up at the dollar store and you have the cutest gift for a friend that is simple and easy to create. 

Enjoy!!

Doodlebug Storage Idea

Have you ever wondered how you should store all your yummy Doodlebug products?

We saw this cute idea by one of our peeps, Lori Allred and thought we should share. First she hangs all her coordinating products on binder rings and then from hooks she purchased at Ikea. Since it use to be a closet the poles you typically hang clothing from are prefect for this type of storage system. Lori told us, "I use my fun scrapbook products if I can see them. If I store them away in a drawer then they never get used."

She then puts all her coordinating papers in vertical storage holders below the embellishments so they're easy to pull out when she needs them. Each of her holders are label with vinyl to make identifying which holder holds which manufacturers papers. 

 Here's a view of it all together....

Great idea from Lori, thanks! Check out Lori's blog when you have a minute. And we'd love to know how you store your Doodlebug products. Feel free to tell us about it here or post a link to a photo.
