MIX 'N' MATCH MINI ALBUM | with Traci

I love making handmade gifts that come together quickly and are fun to put together. Today, I'm sharing a sweet mini album that I created for a friend.  Let's see how many Doodlebug collections I used in this little book!

For the cover, I used the adorable gingham check paper and bird die cut from Simply Spring. The "Friend" title and heart banner are from the Hello collection, and the sun die cut came from the I💗Travel line. 

How cute is that little butterfly?  He was part of the Spring Things Odds & Ends. I think that's 4 collections so far!  

Ready?  That precious yellow heart paper is from So Punny, and what project would be complete without some floral Petite Prints!  We're up to 6!

The cute little "Hello Lady" card and "Bloomin' Bugs" paper were also from the Simply Spring line.

See the floral paper on the pocket?  That one's from Bunnyville!

And finally, the jellybean plaid above is from Hoppy Easter! I used 8 different collections in this little mini!  That's one of my favorite things about Doodlebug ... my older collections will always match the new ones.  Well, that and sprinkles, of course!

If you'd like to make this cute little album, I'll have a few kits available for purchase in my Artsy Albums shop today.  Thanks for letting me share it with you!  I hope I've inspired you to use all of your Doodlebug collections together!

Bunnyville Collection: Flowers Layout by Melinda

Hello and Happy Friday! It's Melinda with you today and I'm sharing a layout I created using the Bunnyville Collection for a theme outside of Easter. Making the most of your products is the best way to get value for money so don't always feel as though you have to stick with the theme of your products.

As soon as I spied the Bunnyville Collection I knew I had to use 'Happy Easter' patterned paper... it just screamed 'fussy cutting' to me! However, I also knew that I really wanted to scrap the photos of my daughter's recent stay in hospital as she recieved some beautiful flowers from friends and I thought the paper would be perfect.

To create the dimensional appearance I hand cut each of the leaves and punched the remaining flowers and flower centres from a second sheet of the same paper.

Adding a bit of bling to the flowers using Sprinkles also helped with adding extra dimension and cuteness.

I wasn't having a very good day with hand journaling and after several failed attempts I decided to use the printer. Sometimes you just have to do what works.

That's it for today. I hope everyone has a happy Friday and don't forget to pop by tomorrow for another Bunnyville project from Kimberly.
