LET IT SNOW TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK PAGES | with Nathalie

One of my favorite ways to document my everyday moments are small format pocket pages.  I keep Traveler Notebook albums filled with memories of the small things.   This format allows me to document my memories in style; so, I reached for Let it Now to document the latest Snow-mageddon here in Toronto.

I started by enlarging one of the photos to 5x8.25( the size of the pages), and matching it with an instax size pocket protector.   Chit Chat pieces make perfect titles, all you need is a bit of foam adhesive to make them pop from the page.

The tags in the Bits and Pieces pack fit perfectly in the pockets, so I am using one to add my journaling.  The small print in the 6x6 paper pad is perfect to create cards for the pockets.  Once again, I reached for some foam adhesive to add my embellishments outside of the pocket.

Since our snow storm was immense, I had to use the back of this spread to share the  aftermath of the 45cm of snow.


I tried to follow the same recipe as the previous page, and added some of the embellishments outside of the pocket. I love adding tactile elements to my spreads.


This time I am using patterned paper for the base of my layout ( I am using the stripe design in the tag to have a cohesive spread), and a smaller photo.  I am using the same paper as the small card to back my photo, then once again using one of the Bits and Pieces labels to add my journal lines.

A few more embellishments just complement the story.   Simple, easy, but filled with Doodlebug cuteness!! I hope this inspires you to use your Doodlebug goodies to document your stories regardless of the format.   XO

LOTS OF LOVE RAINBOW GIFT SET | with Kathy

We are having glimpses of spring here in New England... some warmer days and sunshine (also some snow and sleet.... but it is New England...).  I even saw a rainbow the other day, which made me very happy!  It inspired me to make a fun gift set featuring the Lots of Love Collection and SVG Files.  Take a peek...

I was inspired by the cute rainbow and rainbow envelope icons in the collection.  I love that this collection is so much more than a Valentine themed collection, it carries right into spring!


My envelope box card was inspired by the Lots of Love Envelope Rainbow SVG.  For the card base I edited this file from Lori Whitlock, then added the rainbow and cute little face to the card.  I finished it with some Odds & Ends and a Chit Chat speech bubble.


My rainbow box was made by creating a small open-top box and sizing the Lots of Love Rainbow 3 SVG to cover both sides.  I added a cloud from the Odds & Ends filled it with some gold wrapped truffles that I managed not to eat before my photo shoot, lol.  

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

LET IT SNOW MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Happy Thursday friends!  Although it's only snowed here in Georgia once this winter, I know some of you are knee deep (or more!) in the powdery stuff.  So if you have some winter memories to document, I have a simple, but fun little mini album to share with you today!


I love the round shape and cute little size (4.5"x4.5") of this mini.  I used a cutting file from Doodlebug's Let It Snow collection that you can find here, and although I used white acrylic for my covers, you could easily use white card stock.  


I covered each card stock page with adorable patterns from Let It Snow, left some pages for photos, and embellished others ... like the cute little 3.5" scallop circle above.  The journaling spots were cut from the 6x6 paper pad.  That little waving snowperson from the icon stickers is SO cute!


And speaking of cute, those little penguins might be my all-time favorite with their little round heads that are so much bigger than their equally cute little bodies.  


Two photos can be added inside this little flippie, and I love the unexpected black and white stripe pattern in the collection!  A perfect contrast with the other colors and prints!


I think a picture will look so cute on that petite print gingham mat.  Hello little walrus ... you're pretty cute too!


For this page, I made a little pocket to tuck in a few Bits & Pieces tags.  I tied double twine bows on each, and think they will be perfect for small photos and journaling.  


I wonder how many times I used the word 'cute' in this post .... hmmmmm, a lot!  But how can a Doodlebug project not be described as cute?  Impossible! Lol.  Well, I hope I've inspired you with some cuteness today!  And remember, lots of cutting files would look adorable cut into the center of a circle, so have fun thinking "outside of the box" and make your next mini a round one!
