DAY TO DAY JANUARY CALENDAR | with Wanda

Hi Doodlebug Friends! Happy Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! It's time for a fresh start and a new year. I love to get organized in January, and do my planner and clean up my craft room. It's nice to get things in order and prepare for Winter after the holidays! I have been a planner and calendar fanatic since college.... Doodlebug has come up with gorgeous new things to help us personalize and pretty up our calendars and I'm here to share the new Day to Day Collection with you! Of course I made up a calendar for January and put it on my Clipart Board. It's so colorful and fun. I used the My Happy Place Collection for my stickers and embellishments. This is great as a calendar of course, but this could also the be the start of a great scrapbook layout. And it will slide right into your scrapbooks! The finished calendar sheet page is 12x12. 

Here is my calendar on the Clipart Board ready to hang on the wall. Loving all those pretty colors!



To start off, I used the month stickers to put January across the top of the page. Then I used the clear calendar number stickers to place all the numbers on the dates. There was a space in the lower right corner of my calendar so I made a sweet little home scene with washi tape and stickers.

 Happy New Year!

I love the grid lines on the calendar sheet - makes it easy to place your stickers and write in your appointments...

 I couldn't resist a sweet little sunshine Doodle Pop at the top of my board!

This Day to Day Calendar Collection is so much fun! I can't wait to personalize all the months. All the Doodlebug Collections work perfectly with the calendar Sheets - think 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day, Valentines and more! The calendar pages come in all the beautiful Doodlebug Colors, so the creativity is endless! Have a wonderful week, and Happy Crafting!

MY HAPPY PLACE SHADOWBOX INSERT LAYOUT | with Lisa

For my layout today,  I was in the mood for something simple, yet colorful and happy. I decided to work with the Shadowbox kit and create a layout with it... take a peek...


For my background, I absolutely wanted to use this rainbow patterned paper which I love so much!! 
To start, I drew a circle on the paper. I chose my photo and backed it with a piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad, then I adhered it to the background. 


I used the Shadow Box kit from the My Happy Place collection which consists of cardstock stickers, a pack of jewels and a pack of shaped sprinkles. I adhered the photo first to see where I needed to place all the rest. Then I started with the big stickers and adhered them in a balanced way, considering the colors and the size. Then I went smaller and smaller, filling up more and more of the space. To fill up the last tiny holes, I used the tiny enamel dots and jewels.


To create a bit of dimension and interest and to have a visual triangle, I adhered three of the stickers using thick foam squares and adding tangled thread behind them. For the title, I used a die cut from the Chit Chat pack and some Abigail, My Type and Sunshine alpha stickers.


To add a last little accent, I stitched a circle all round the stickers, using white thread and a chain link stitch. Then I added white splatters. 

I think I'll be using more of this collection the next months, because I quit my job as a teacher to work from home 100% and I'm super excited. So I'll be able to spend a lot of time with my kitty and take more home photos, heheeee! :)


This kind of layout is also a cool idea to use up a lot of left over stickers from any collection. You can even create other shapes, it always looks cute. :)  Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!

MY HAPPY PLACE HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOX | with Miguel

Making boxes is one of my favorite crafting activities, since you have the opportunity to make them to your own taste and size. Today I have this beautiful box that I made with the My Happy Place Collection.  This could be a fun gift for someone special on their birthday!


I designed this box to fit one of the cut out card designs from the collection.  I wanted it to be the focus of my project.  I decorated it with shape sprinkles to give light and dimension to the center of the flowers.


I created a fun closure for the box by punching holes in the two flaps, placing an eyelet in each and then I ran a ribbon through them to create a nice bow.


Finally, I used a tag from the collection to place the name of the person who will receive this gift. 


Thank you for reading see you soon!

MY HAPPY PLACE 3D HOUSE BOX | with Kathy

Every time I pull out the My Happy Place Collection, I'm inspired to create !  This week, I combined the fun papers and stickers with the collection with one of the SVG files from the collection to make this fun little house box.  I thought it would be fun to use to package a housewarming gift for a friend.  Take a peek...


For the base of my box, I used a Lori Whitlock File from her Christmas Village Class.  I resized and edited the file to remove the windows and added the windows, trim and door from the My Happy Place House - 7 SVG File.


I created an insert "bottom" to slide inside the house to hold a gift.  Now for the fun part... I decorated my house with some stickers from the collection...


I added stickers from the Icon and Mini Icons sheets.  I love those plants!  To embellish the sides, I added some of the trees and fences from the Icons sheet.



I wish I could live in such a sweet house!  Have you created any projects using the My Happy Place collection or SVG files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

MY HAPPY PLACE 8x8 ALBUM | with Traci

Hey friends! Today, I have another fun project for you using the adorable My Happy Place Collection, a Shadow Box Kit and one of my acrylic albums. This little scrapbook is perfect for photos of family, friends and fun times spent close to home.

My happy place family home scrapbook album with sticker collage

I started by cutting two 8x8 inch covers out of black acrylic but you could use chipboard or card stock for these instead. Then I cut a 7.25 inch circle window out of the front cover that's just the right size for the round sticker collage.

Look how cute this is with the rhinestone gems and the little enamel sprinkles! I love all the details.

Have you had a chance to play with a Shadow Box Insert Kit yet? If not ... I highly recommend! The kit comes with a circle template, card stock, vellum and tons of stickers to create this collage. It's so much fun. You place the stickers on the vellum with the help of a template behind it. I'm a big fan of these, I've used them in 4 different albums now.

The pages inside are filled with My Happy Place cuteness. This one has a folding element for extra photo space. When you flip open the side panel, it looks like this ...

I added die cuts from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat. I love the house with the flower covered roof and that yellow polka dot car. Wouldn't this mat be perfect for a family photo?

The colors and patterns in this collection are awesome. I love the pink flower paper next to the Love Grows Here print I used on the pocket above. Those little houseplants are so much fun. 

I also added some 4x4 element cards to the pocket. You can add photos to the backside of these or use them for journaling.

This collection is beautiful - the colors are bright and cheerful and it has everything you need to highlight your family photos. It even has die cuts for your sweet furry friends! 

I hope this project inspires you to create your own scrapbook with this adorable My Happy Place Collection. The instructions for this project are available in my shop and below are all the wonderful supplies used to make it. Happy scrappin'!

MY HAPPY PLACE LAYOUT | with Erica

If you have not picked up the beautiful My Happy Place collection yet today is the day! I love that this collection can be used for all the cozy moments at home!

I used a cut file designed by Lacey Ann Designs that is available HERE;. I love a large center cut file that can be backed with pretty pattern papers from collections! The colors in this collection are gorgeous and the bits and pieces pack is on of my all time favorites!

Create floral clusters on a layout with all these pieces is so fun and makes putting pages together so easy! I highly recommend picking up two packs of the bits & pieces!

I printed my photos out in black and white which really pop on the page with the pretty colors in this collection. I used a stamp set from my stash to create the splatter marks around the cut file to help it really stand out! The pops of black in this collection are fabulous and the black and white stripe paper has my heart! If you follow me then you know I am a sucker for a black and white stripe paper!

The photos are of Liam and I being cozy on the couch and they are the sweetest! Remember to document those little moments in life! I embellished the layout with My Happy Place mini icon stickers, odds & ends and sprinkles! I love how this page turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Doodlebug blog today! I hope you are inspired to create a page documenting the little moments!

MY HAPPY PLACE CARD SET | with Karen

Okay, you are not going to believe what just happened - I actually used my Doodlepops. If you are a Doodlebug fan like I am, you may understand the huge accomplishment that this is. Yes, the Doodlepops are the product I spend the most time admiring when a new collection comes out. And yes, they then usually go into my collection box where I have them all organized into theme (I blame my sticker collecting days as a child for this). But not today people, not today! Today, I made cards!

All-three

See - here's the thing with Doodlepops - they are perfect! With their layered textured and amazingly cute Doodlebug designs, they really are the perfect feature for a project.

Closeup-1

And the shaker pop, like this one called Fineus and Friends, take detail and cuteness to the next level. For this card, I simply added a few pieces of the 6x6 paper onto one of the My Happy Place Cards & Envelopes, embellished with a few flower shapes from the Bits and Pieces and the card was finished in all it's layered cuteness!

Closeup-2

In the end, I am not sure which one is my favourite. Then again, do I have to have a favourite?

All-three-2

So there you have it - Doodlepop success! I can't wait to actually give these away - if they don't end up in my collection box first! Baby steps people, baby steps!

Thanks for stopping by!
