CUTE & CRAFTY MINI NOTEBOOKS | with Nathalie

Raise your hand if you keep small notebooks in your purse?   If your raised your hands, then I am sure you have a few small notebooks where you add notes, ideas, etc.  I always carry at least 1-2 notebooks (and a TN) with me, but like to customize them so that it is easier to sort them out.  And what better way to make them unique than to use the beautiful Cute & Crafty collection. Let me show you!

My little notebooks are 4.5x6.5", and come with a simple white cover.  I chose to cover them with some of the pattern paper from the Cute and Crafty collection.  I chose simple patterns so that I can  customize each cover with the theme of the notebook...

My Ideas notebook has a piece of Chit Chat ( Handmade with Love) in the cover.   I always keep my covers simple as they sit inside a passport TN, so this reduces the bulk of the notebooks. For my title page, I trimmed a strip of the small stickers and used it to create the "washi" lines.  Then just added a title and a few stickers.

For my Sketch notebook, I chose to mat the sketchbook and pencils inside a round tag (Bits and Pieces pack).  For my title page, I ran a bit of washi tape, then added a few stickers to create the title ( I am not adding much more, as I need a smooth surface when drawing down ideas)

For my Notes notebook, I chose the typewriter Icon, and added a small Chit Chat piece for the cover.  My title page,  has a bit of washi tape, and just a few stickers to complement the theme of the notebook.

I love how these turned out, and how cute they look inside my TN.   I hope these inspire you to customize your notebooks using the beautiful DOODLEBUG Design collections.  XO

CUTE & CRAFTY MEMORYDEX CARDS | with Ashley

 Hi All! Today I am sharing a set of Memorydex Cards I made using the Cute & Crafty Collection. 

I started with some 6 x 6 Petite Print papers and cut them down to 4" x 4." I used my memorydex punch to add the holes at the bottom and stitched around all the sides. 

From there I added lots of crafting themed embellishments from the collection- all popped up using foam tape. 

I also added different shape sprinkles on each of these cards for some small details. I finished them by adding some Doodlebug twine to the tags. 

The back of these cards all have pockets so little notes and journaling can be tucked in.  

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

FUN AT THE PARK FOLIO WATERFALL ABUM | with Kathy

Happy Monday everyone!  While the design team (im) patiently waits for the fabulous new Great Outdoors Collection to arrive, we have some fun projects for you featuring some of our favorite collections!  I was excited to be able to play with the Fun at the Park Collection again... I just love all the fun colors and icons!  I thought a mini album would be fun, so I created this little folio type album with waterfall features that hold a bunch of small photos. 

I started with a simple cover, which I covered in the Mini Dot paper.  I decorated the cover with the Adventure Awaits Castle Doodlepop ... I love the acrylic elements on the pop!  I finished the cover with a string tie using some Beetle Black Doodle Twine.

When you open the album, it has two sides, each with a waterfall element.  I thought this would be a fun way to display your favorite vacation photos.  Each side holds 4 square photos.  I created the waterfall using a metal die in my stash, and papers and stickers from the collection.  Here are some close-ups of the individual flip pages...

I cut some tags from the Luggage Tags Cut Apart Cardstock and added them to my pull tabs... they were the perfect size!

I thought this would be a fun way to document some of your favorite photos from Disney!  Be sure to check back all of this week for more design team favorites!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
