Daily Doodles: November Gratitudes Calendar by Wendy Sue

Hi Doodlebug friends!  It's Wendy Sue, and today it's my turn to share another fun "Daily Doodles" idea with you!  I decided to make a fun gratitude calendar for November, a place to jot down a little something I'm grateful for each day for the entire month.  

I love that the squares are small, so I don't have to add a lot of detail - just a quick little something. I started with the bumblebee daily doodles base and added lots of stickers, embellishments, doodle tape, and accents from the "fall friends: and "give thanks" collections.

I also pulled out all of the coordinating alphabet stickers I had in my stash and used several different styles and colors to add numbers to some (not all) of the days.

Many of the stickers are added with foam adhesive dots.  Others are already 3-d, because they are doodle-pops!! 

 Of course, Thanksgiving Day called for the turkey doodle-pop!  Isn't he the cutest?!?

I wanted to add this cute little notebook paper sticker to the top of my calendar page.  I embellished it with shaped sprinkles and stickers.

Here's a quick little tip - when you want to have stickers hang over the edge, sprinkle the sticky part that's hanging off with a bit of baby powder!  Wipe off the excess and now there's no more sticky left!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!  I hope you've been inspired to use a daily doodle sheet to make a gratitude calendar for yourself!  Have a great day!!

Fall Friends Collection: Oversized Thanksgiving Place-card Tags by Wendy Sue

Hi Doodlebug friends!  It's Wendy Sue here with you today, sharing a project I whipped up for Thanksgiving Dinner!  Actually, it's a project for our post-Thanksgiving dinner.  You see, we always celebrate Thanksgiving with all of our relatives at my parent's house, but then I make a smaller version for just our little family to have here at home.  I usually don't do a lot of dressing-up the table with decorations, but when I saw the super cute Thanksgiving elements in the "Fall Friends" collection I just had to do a little something special.  Instead of small place-cards, I decided to use the large tags from the patterned paper to make over sized Thanksgiving place-card tags to lay on each of our plates.

 Here's a look at each of the tags:

I cut the bases from the 12x12 sheet, then cut a small piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 pad to fit over the center of each tag.

I added the sweet die-cuts with foam adhesive dots...and I added some of the stickers with foam adhesive dots too!

I added sprinkles and shaped sprinkles to some of the tags.

And mini clothespins too!

I added names with the Jack & Jill rub-ons...one of my all-time favorite Doodlebug products!

I can't wait to dress up our little family Thanksgiving table a little bit this year!

What would YOU create with the fun "Fall Friends" collection?!?
