SHADOWBOX INSERT KIT SWEET SUMMER | with Karen

OOOOOOOOH Ya!!!!! I'm sorry - I didn't mean to start this post by yelling at you, but I am so excited to share today's post with you. I am totally and completely obsessed with Doodlebug's new Shadow Box inserts. And by obsessed, I am talking about "hoard all your Doodle-pops" obsessed. I know you know what I mean.

Not only are these inserts filled with all the cute Doodlebug you can imagine, they are incredibly fun to put together. I may have ordered 10 and put together 7 of them the morning I opened them. The only reason I didn't do more is that my daughters stole the other 3 to do themselves. I see the perfect opportunity for a girl's crafting night with this product! Grab your foam adhesive and your favourite friends and you will be laughing and creating in no time - no crafting experience needed. Just follow the templates and voila!

I mean, come on!!! The seagulls in the Sweet Summer insert are as cute as it gets.

And while I may have had to explain what this was to my daughters, feeling old and nostalgic was made fun while crafting with this product.

And here's my little tip for you - if you become a hoarder....ummmm, I mean "collector" of these inserts like I have already clearly become, Doodlebug's 8x8 albums are a perfect place to store and admire your inserts while you wait to move them into your shadow boxes for the season. Because you know you are going to want to have one for every season - or maybe every month! :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Hugs,

Sweet Summer Insta-Mini | with Kathy

I just love my Instax Camera and Instax printer.  The little pictures that pop out automatically just make me smile! They give such a retro feel to any project!  When I saw the Insta Camera Cut file from the Hello Collection, I knew I had to make something with it!  I decided to design a little mini album featuring some fun pictures I took on a recent vacation to Aruba... and the Sweet Summer Collection was the perfect complement to my pictures!

The album itself was put together using some Gingham Linen Petite Prints and a paper from the Hello 6x6 Pad. For a fun twist, I created a slider... the little "insta" picture pulls from the top of the camera base showing my album title (and the adorable Steven "Seagull" !)  Here are a couple of more views of the album itself...

I created some accordion pages for the inside of the album.  Each page is layered with a different paper from the Sweet Summer Collection.  I also designed a frame file to cover the Insta pictures, to add a little more color.   Then came the fun part... mixing and matching This and That stickers, Icons Stickers, Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, and Tropical Punch Shaped Sprinkles from the Sweet Summer Collection to go along with my pictures!  Here are some close ups of the inside pages...

The cute little cactus is a Cute Clip from the Fun in the Sun Collection.

The anchor sticker is from the Anchor's Aweigh Icon Sticker Sheet.

The sailboat sticker is also from the Anchor's Aweigh Icon Sticker Sheet.

I'm so excited that this project turned out as I had imagined!  It's always a good creative day when that happens!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
