BUNNY HOP HELLO SPRING LAYOUT | with Erica

Hi crafty friends! Erica here, and I’m so excited to be back on the Doodlebug Design blog today sharing a bright and happy spring layout using the absolutely adorable Bunny Hop collection! This 12x12 layout is bursting with color, florals, and all the playful charm we love from Doodlebug.

For this layout, I started with a brand new cut file from my shop called Hello Spring. I love the wreath shape and playful lettering, and it was the perfect base for showcasing all the spring colors. I backed all the open spaces of the cut file using a mix of papers from the 6x6 paper pad and some of the 12x12 coordinating Petite Prints papers. I also added foam adhesive behind the cut file to give it dimension and lift off the page.

Next, I created the base of the layout by trimming down a piece of white cardstock to 11½ x 11½ inches. I matted that onto coordinating Doodlebug Design cardstock and then layered the whole thing on top of the May Flowers 12x12 patterned paper from the Bunny Hop collection, this added the perfect pop of floral around the edge.

Once my base was set, I adhered the cut file right in the center of the page. I had two sweet black and white photos that I matted with more pattern paper and tucked right above the word “spring” in the cut file. Then came the fun part, embellishing! I kept it light around the photos, adding a few pieces from the Odds & Ends pack along with some Icons and Mini Icon Stickers. I also tucked in a tab above one of the photos and added a word sticker from the 12x12 Bunny Hop sticker sheet.

To finish the layout, I went in with a ton of Doodlebug Design Sprinkles! I love the color and texture the sprinkles add to the page! This layout is such a happy celebration of spring, bright colors, sweet details, and that classic Doodlebug cuteness! If you’d like to grab the Hello Spring cut file, you can find it linked below.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to get crafty with the Bunny Hop
collection!

OVER THE RAINBOW HAPPY MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Erica

Hello friends! Today, I’m excited to share a 12x12 layout featuring the Over the Rainbow collection. This collection is packed with happy colors, adorable icons, and the perfect mix of patterns to bring a layout to life!

I started with a white 12x12 base to keep things fresh and bright. To the left side, I added a bold strip of the colorful stripe side of the Over the Rainbow paper to create a fun backdrop. To add extra detail, I used border stickers from the This and That sticker sheet on both sides of the rainbow paper, framing it beautifully.

Next, I created three photo mats, layering patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad behind each one to add depth and dimension. Once my photos were in place, I reached for the large Chit Chat title pieces, combining them to create my "Happy Memories" title.

The final touches are always my favorite part! I added floral Bits & Pieces, puffy icon stickers, and Sprinkles to bring the layout together. These little details add so much texture and personality!

I absolutely love how this layout turned out, it’s bright, happy, and full of Over the Rainbow charm! I hope this inspires you to create something colorful and fun today.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP DECEMBER ALBUM | with Erica

Hello Doodlebug friends! Erica here, and today I'm excited to share more pages from my 6x8 mini album featuring the adorable Tinsel Time collection. I’ve had so much fun putting this album together, and today I’m sharing both completed pages and some brand-new additions!

For one of my favorite pages, I pulled out my trusty border punch and created a textured background by layering punched border strips all along the 6x8 page base. To add a little extra interactive element, I created a fun pocket using two tags from the Tinsel Time collection. By adhering foam adhesive along the sides and bottom of the tags, I made a perfect little spot to tuck in extra journaling tags or photos. A bold title at the bottom completed the page—simple and sweet!

Next, I created a playful spread featuring some adorable cut files. I used a Ho-Ho-Ho cut file, backed it with patterned papers from Tinsel Time, and couldn’t resist adding the cutest snowman in the center of the first “O”. The remaining “O’s” are left open to showcase special holiday photos. On the opposite page, two festive Christmas trees set the scene, complete with photo mats and embellishments like die cuts, stickers, and sprinkles to add extra detail.

Since winter adventures are also a big part of the season, I included a "Bundle Up" themed spread. I found a perfect cut file and backed it with colorful patterned papers from Tinsel Time. To make this page even more interactive, I created a matching page filled with circles that lift up to reveal spots for snowy-day photos or cozy winter journaling.

This album has truly been a joy to create, and I can't wait to fill it with my 2025 holiday memories. I hope these pages inspire you to document your holiday moments creatively with the delightful Tinsel Time collection!

Happy Crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER ALBUM PART 4 | with Erica

Hello, crafty friends! Erica here, back with another 6x8 mini album spread featuring the oh-so-adorable Tinsel Time collection from Doodlebug Design! This spread is all about interactive elements, bright colors, and festive charm, everything I love about Doodlebug Design! If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my pages posts here and here.

For this layout, I incorporated the Love Notes Doodle Cut, which includes the cutest mini envelope dies. I used the 6x6 Tinsel Time paper pad to die-cut six mini envelopes, three across the top and three across the bottom—to create a playful grid design. In the center, I placed a large title die cut, drawing the eye to the middle of the spread.

To make the envelopes functional, I stuffed them with photo mats, die cuts, and cut-aparts, perfect for adding photos that can be pulled out, as well as hidden journaling on tags and cut-aparts. These little details make this spread not only visually fun but also interactive and full of surprises!

For the next page, I used a Holly, Jolly, Merry, and Happy cut file, cutting it from white cardstock to fill the entire base of the page. I then backed the cut file with patterned paper, bringing in all the signature Doodlebug color and charm. To finish it off, I embellished around the title with stickers, die cuts, and adorable puffy stickers, adding layers and dimension.

This spread is bright, playful, and filled with holiday cheer, and I cannot wait to add my photos and memories! I love how the interactive elements make it even more special, and I hope it inspires you to try something similar in your own mini albums.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon to share more pages from this fun holiday album, so stay tuned!

Happy crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER ALBUM PART 2 | with Erica

Hello Friends! Erica here with you today and this week on the blog I am sharing a peek inside my 6x8 mini album using the vibrant and cheerful Tinsel Time collection! Mini albums are my favorite way to capture holiday memories, and I couldn’t wait to get creative with these pages.

I’m a huge fan of cut files, so I sized down this gorgeous ornament background (from my shop) to fit perfectly into my album. After backing it with colorful patterned papers from Tinsel Time, I added foam adhesive for dimension and adhered it to my page base. The result? A page that’s full of texture and holiday cheer!

Another layout design I love is a classic grid. It’s clean, organized, and perfect for adding multiple photos or embellishments. For this page, I paired the grid with adorable Odds & Ends from the collection—it’s simple, but so effective!

To add a little extra interest to my album, I incorporated cards and envelopes as additional pages. They’re so versatile and bring a fun interactive element to the album. I’ll fill these with journaling, mini photos, or even tiny keepsakes to make them extra special.

Once all my pages are finished, I’ll add in my photos and journaling to complete the album.

I can’t wait to show you the final result next time! To see my my previous post that shows my album cover, click here.  Thanks for stopping by!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - DECEMBER ALBUM | with Erica

Hello crafty friends! Happy New Year! Erica here and I’m so excited to share my latest project for the Doodlebug Design creative team! We are sharing our album covers using the 6x8 mini albums and I am using one in the Cupcake color. Using the adorable and festive Tinsel Time collection, I created a bright and cheerful cover that sets the tone for all the holiday memories inside.

To start, I added a scalloped border sticker from the This & That Sheet along the left edge of the album cover. This simple step frames the design beautifully and introduces a pop of coordinating color. Next, I chose a large Chit Chat title piece to anchor the design. Its bold, festive typography serves as the centerpiece of the cover and instantly grabs attention.

I added various Odds & Ends pieces around the title to build a layered and dimensional design. Next I added some of the Tinsel Time sprinkles around the center and on the die cut pieces for some sparkle and texture! For the finishing touches, I tied some trims around the album, adding texture and movement. I also attached the Just Charming clip for a decorative accent that ties everything together.

I absolutely love how this album cover turned out! The soft pink of the Cupcake album pairs perfectly with the festive elements from the Tinsel Time collection. The layered ephemera and playful details make this cover a joyful introduction to the memories it holds. It’s colorful, whimsical, and filled with holiday cheer!

I hope this project inspires you to create your own album cover. I'll be back with some of the inside of my album my next post.  What are you crafting this holiday season? Let me know in the comments below!

FARMHOUSE THANKSGIVING LAYOUT | with Erica

Hi friends! Erica here today sharing a 12x12 layout using the Farmhouse collection!

I wanted to create a simple clean design but add a pretty detail under my layers with one of my favorite border punches!

I started with a 12x12 piece of Lily White Textured Cardstock. I cut out some strips of pattern papers from the Farmhouse collection. Starting with 2.50" x 12" and adhered along the left side of my layout about and inch and a half in from the left. I tucked in two border punched strips in the layers and I love the little detail it adds to the layout.

Next I created a photo mat to go horizontal on my page with some of the Farmhouse coordinating textured cardstock . Next I added one of the border stickers from the 12x12 Farmhouse sticker sheet.

To finish up the layout I created two embellishment clusters with Farmhouse Odds & Ends, Icon stickers and some shape sprinkles!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and give this simple design a try!

HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN NIGHT LAYOUT | with Erica

Hey friends! Erica here sharing a 12x12 layout using the new and adorable Hey Pumpkin collection. 

I started with a cut file that I cut out with some Beetle Black textured cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo. I backed the file with papers from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad and the 12x12 Hey Pumpkin coordinating cardstock pack.

Once the cut file was backed I popped it up with some foam adhesive. For my layout base I used a lily white textured cardstock trimmed down to 11.25 square and matted it onto some beetle black textured cardstock to help it pop. Next I added the 12x12 boo-tiful bouquet paper mat.

I used one of my favorite background stamps to create splatter around the layout to add a little something behind the cut file. Next I adhered the cutfile to my layout and then added my photos. For my title I picked two chit chat words and adhered them under my photos.

I wanted to keep it simple on the embellishments so I added a few puffy icon stickers around the Halloween Wreath. I also wanted to use a couple of the adorable puffy ghost stickers so I added them around the title.

I love how the layout turned out using the Hey Pumpkin collection! Thanks so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today!
