October 31st | Hey Pumpkin collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends! 

Halloween is nearly here so if you're looking for a playful, vibrant, and totally adorable way to document your October 31st memories, this layout is pure magic! Using the Hey Pumpkin collection from Doodlebug Design and a coordinating Doodlebug cut file from Lori Whitlock, this page captures the whimsy and wonder of Halloween with a perfect blend of color, texture, and personality!

The Hey Pumpkin collection is a Halloween lover’s dream. Packed with candy-coloured patterns, cheerful characters, and just the right amount of spooky charm, it’s ideal for scrapping those costume moments and trick-or-treat adventures. I chose the Hey Pumpkin Spider Web cut file from Lori Whitlock and cut the web part from the 'B' side of the Jolly 'Jack-O-Lantern' patterned paper. I then adhered the web to the 'B' side of the 'Eek' patterned paper.

The spiders from the cut file I enlarged in the Silhouette software before I cut them out from one of the papers in the 6' x 6' paper pad. I used foam tape to adhere them on to the web. I added small enamel dots for the eyes of the spiders. The photo takes centre stage, it is matted with coordinating papers and layered on top of the web design, making it feel like part of the scene. The layout balances visual interest with emotional storytelling—exactly what scrapbooking is all about.

The title 'October' is from the Chit Chat pack as are some of the smaller sub titles. I added black enamel dots to he eyes of the ghost and also added Shape Sprinkles over the spider in the title and the star die-cuts.   

A few pieces from the Bits and Pieces pack were added including the arrow under the photo and the yellow tab on the left of the photo. A few sprinkles of black mist and the date stamped finish off my layout.

I hope you have been inspired to document your Halloween memories this season using the gorgeous Hey Pumpkin collection!

Happy Halloween and happy crafting!

Hey Lil Pumpkin | Bramble Fox

 Hey creative friends,

There’s something about October that wraps you in warmth—crisp air, golden leaves, and the unmistakable charm of pumpkin patches. This layout, titled 'Hey Lil Pumpkin', is my ode to all things Autumn, starring one very adorable pumpkin explorer and a bounty of Bramble Fox goodies that bring the season to life.

If pumpkins could talk, they’d be beaming with pride at this layout. Nestled at the heart of the design is a photo that captures pure fall joy—my cute niece tucked inside a giant pumpkin-shaped structure, surrounded by laughter and leaves. The 'Hey Lil Pumpkin' perspextive title, bold and playful, sets the tone for a layout that’s as sweet as cider and as vibrant as a harvest moon.

The Paper Snips #80 and #81 add that extra pumpkin spice with cozy phrases like 'Autumn Vibes' and 'Harvest Good Memories' —perfect for capturing the spirit of the season. And those layered embellishments? From the pumpkins perspextives, paper florals, and tags galore, they all look to be dancing around the photo like a festive fall parade. I machine stitched a border around the outside of the layout to help give that handmade and textured feel to the layout.

As always, Bramble Fox delivers the perfect products to turn memories into masterpieces. The Paper Snips are a dream—easy to layer, beautifully designed, and full of seasonal charm. Whether you’re crafting a pumpkin patch adventure or a cozy fireside moment, these snips make storytelling effortless. Paper Snips #81 and #82 bring in that leafy magic with rich tones and whimsical accents. The leaves aren’t just decoration—they’re movement, texture, and emotion. They guide the eye, frame the moment, and whisper, 'This is Autumn.'

💡 Tarrah’s Design Tip: Try mixing textures by pairing acrylic Perspextives with flat Paper Snips. The contrast adds depth without overwhelming the design. And don’t be afraid to tuck snips behind leaves or florals—it gives your layout a natural, organic feel, like Autumn itself.

So here’s to pumpkins, falling leaves, and the magic of memory keeping. This layout is more than paper and glue—it’s a celebration of Autumn’s glow and the 'lil pumpkins' who make it unforgettable.

Happy scrapping!

Boo | Sweet & Spooky collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends,

Halloween is always one of my favourite times to scrapbook — the costumes, the candy, and all the spooky-cute vibes! Today I’m sharing a layout that captures all of that fun using the Sweet & Spooky collection by Doodlebug Designs!

For this page, I wanted the title to make a big statement, so I went bold with large 'Boo' titles in a cut file repeated across the page together with a spider web. The cut file was cut from black cardstock and each 'Boo' word is backed with different patterned papers from the Sweet & Spooky 6x6 paper pad — I just love how the mix of stripes, dots, and subtle prints add personality to each 'Boo'!
Some of my favorites include the soft purple stripes and the cute polka dots filled with Doodlebug’s signature colours.

To give each letter its own “spooky friend,” I added die-cuts from the Sweet & Spooky Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces packs — including ghosts, pumpkins, and even a worm! I also added puffy stickers, This & That stickers and also some gorgeous Doodle-Pops too. These playful touches really bring the layout to life.

The photo is from a past  Halloween night — my little ones dressed up in costume, ready for trick-or-treating! I printed it slightly smaller to allow plenty of room for embellishments and let the title shine.

I grounded the photo with a small cluster that includes a 'Halloween' banner, a cute gumball jar sticker, and a sprinkle of mini pumpkins and bats from the Shape Sprinkles set. Every little detail ties into the sweet and spooky theme.

To finish off the layout, I added a few enamel dots around the page, a 'So Much Fun' sentiment, and stamped the date below the photo. A simple hand drawn black border helps everything feel complete and keeps the focus on the bright, happy colours.

This layout makes me smile every time I look at it — it perfectly captures the fun of Halloween with that signature Doodlebug charm!

Happy Halloween crafting!

EEK! | Goosebumps collection | Pretty Little Studio

 Boo! It's Halloween month and I'm excited to share a spook-tacular Halloween scrapbook layout I created using the adorable Goosebumps collection by Pretty Little Studio. This layout features a sweet photo of my nieces dressed up for Halloween, and I just love how it all came together with playful colors, layered embellishments, and festive Halloween vibes!

Halloween is one of my favorite times to scrapbook—costumes, candy, and creative memories! The photo I used shows my nieces dressed as a witch and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Their expressions were priceless, and I wanted the layout to reflect the magic and excitement of that moment. The Goosebumps collection was the perfect choice for this layout. The colors are vibrant yet spooky, with a great mix of oranges, blacks, blues, and yellows. There are so many fun Halloween-themed elements included—bats, stars, tags, labels, and word stickers—all of which added depth and dimension to my design.

I started with a soft diagonal striped background that had just the right amount of texture and subtle distressing. From there, I built up a layered photo mat with patterned paper, tags, and die cuts. I added stars, circles, and other shapes to create visual interest around the photo. The mix of flat and dimensional pieces helps the layout feel dynamic and engaging.

Some of my favorite elements include:

• The bold “EEK!” title layered over the photo for a playful pop.

• The phrase “It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus”, which adds a magical touch.

• Word circles like “Happy Halloween” and “Full Moon” that help anchor the theme.

I finished off the layout with a few stamped dates (October 31st, of course!), a cute label that says “Good Witch,” and a sprinkling of textured accents. I love how the layers work together without overwhelming the photo—it keeps the memory front and center while adding lots of fun.

This layout makes me smile every time I look at it. It captures a moment in time that’s so full of joy and childhood wonder. The Goosebumps collection truly made it easy to pull together a cohesive and colorful Halloween page.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dig into your Halloween photos and start creating with this amazing collection. Happy haunting and happy scrapping!

Sweet Autumn | Farmhouse collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends!

There’s something undeniably heartwarming about Autumn—the crisp air, crunchy leaves, and cozy moments on the farm. Today, I’m sharing a special scrapbook layout that captures the essence of fall using the beautiful Farmhouse collection. If you’re a fan of bright colors, charming patterns, and all things Autumn, this layout is sure to inspire your next crafty session!

This layout was inspired by a sweet photo of my son playing in a big pile of leaves—one of the most joyful parts of the season! The title, Sweet Autumn, were two separate titles chosen from the Chit Chat pack and they perfectly capture the nostalgic, playful vibe of the moment.

The main photo is beautifully framed with layers of the various patterned papers from the Farmhouse collection and embellishments from the Odds & Ends, Bits & Pieces and Chit Chat packs. I love how the mix of floral, gingham, and leaf patterns brings a cozy, rustic vibe to the layout without feeling too busy.

The Farmhouse collection is truly a fall lover’s dream. From the adorable barn die cuts to the colorful trees and sweet little critters, every element adds warmth and whimsy. In this layout, I used several stickers including puffy stickers and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet and die cuts from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs to create a little fall farm scene around the photo. The barn Doodlepop, Autumn trees, and leaf embellishments bring the setting to life in such a playful way.

My Sweet Autumn layout brings together everything I love about scrapbooking: storytelling, color, texture, and creativity. The Farmhouse collection made it so easy and fun to put together a page that truly feels like fall.

Whether you’re scrapbooking pumpkin patch trips, farm visits, or just quiet moments in the leaves, the Farmhouse collection has everything you need to document the beauty of Autumn.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy scrapping!

Dream Big | Dream Big collection | Pretty Little Studio

  Hey creative friends!

Today I’m super excited to share a fun and vibrant layout I created using the stunning Dream Big collection by Pretty Little Studio! If you love bold colors, inspiring sentiments, and a modern mix of black and white with pops of pink, yellow, and teal — this collection is definitely for you!

I started my layout with the striped black-and-white background from the Savannah Dream collection, which makes everything layered on top really stand out. One of the things I love most about the Dream Big collection is how well all the patterned papers, die-cuts, and flair pieces coordinate without looking too busy.

I used a grid design as the main structure for my layout. Each square features a mix of patterned papers, embellishments, flair buttons, and of course — photos! The grid is both playful and organized, giving me the perfect base to showcase the sweet moments captured in these photos.

The flair buttons add dimension and fun phrases like "always," "happy," and "my darling" — little details that really bring emotion into the page. I also included small titles like "my everything" and "this day," which highlight the theme of cherishing special memories.

And of course, the title — DREAM BIG — anchors the page beautifully at the bottom. It’s a perfect reminder that love, laughter, and dreams go hand in hand.

This collection was such a joy to work with! It made the storytelling feel effortless and helped me document these happy memories in a fresh, bold, and beautiful way.

Thanks for stopping by — I hope this layout inspires you to create something bright and meaningful today. 

Happy creating!

Pumpkin Patch | Farmers Market collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

 Are you feeling the cool change in the air? Fall is nearly here and if you're anything like me, you love documenting those crisp Autumn moments.

This layout features a super sweet photo of my little one enjoying an Autumn day surrounded by pumpkins — the perfect inspiration for this harvest-themed page. I wanted to create a design that captured the playful and vibrant feel of the season, and the Farmers Market collection made that so easy.

I started with the 12' x 12' 'B' side of the 'Fall Berries' patterned paper, the warm woodgrain and scalloped border help to frame the layout. At the top and bottom, I added patterned paper strips for a little extra color and texture and I added some machine stitching to give it a  handmade touch. I love how the green and orange layers mimic the feel of a farmer’s stand or garden row!

The star of the show is the photo, of course, and I highlighted it with lots of die-cuts, stickers, and layered tags. The “Happy Harvest” banner and “Fresh from the Garden” journaling spot all from the Chit Chat pack, added the perfect touch of seasonal flair. I also tucked in some sweet mini pumpkins from the Doodle Pops and puffy stickers, flowers, and leafy elements to bring the whole page to life.

The title "Pumpkin Patch" is fom the Chit Chat pack, I adhered the title using foam tapegrounded by two smiling pumpkin die-cuts that might just be my favorite part of the whole layout! They bring such personality and charm — classic Doodlebug style!

To the right of the photo, I added a cute little orange truck filled with harvest goodies, and on the left of the photo, I added the street arrow sign sticker some word stickers like “Pumpkin Fun,” “Apple Picking,” and “Fresh Eggs” to give that authentic fall market vibe. The stickers are all from the This and That sticker sheet.

To finish it off, I layered some tags and elements from the Bits and Pieces pack from the Farmers Market collection to add movement and interest. Everything ties together beautifully — playful, warm, and perfect for fall memory keeping.

 

This layout was such a joy to create, and the Farmers Market collection truly made it easy to bring a festive autumn story to life. Whether you're documenting a trip to the pumpkin patch, apple picking, or just cozy fall moments at home, this collection is packed with charm, color, and joy.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy scrapping!

Summer Sun & Fun | Summer Fun collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends! 

If you love sunshine, smiles, and everything cute under the sea, today's layout is for you! A vibrant and joy-filled layout created using the Summer Fun collection by Doodlebug Design Inc along with an awesome cut file by Paige Taylor Evans.

At first glance, this layout screams happy summer vibes! Centred around a sweet photo moment by the beach, the design is brought to life with bold colors, playful embellishments, and a perfect blend of patterns and textures. 

 

I love the papers from the Summer Fun collection. Each word in the cut file is backed with a different paper design, creating a playful, dimensional look. Under the cut file I added some blue mixed media, I love how it makes it the cut file pop off the white background cardstock. I layered one of the papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad under my photo.

I trimmed down the white cardstock and adhered it to the Beach Picnic patterned paper. The cut file is popped up using foam adhesive, I love how this creates shadows and dimension. The animals in this collection are absolutely adorable, on this layout I have added dolphins, jelly fish, sea horses, octopus, fish and a chameleon! 

With the embellishing I added some with a tone on tone look and some not tone on tone, the gorgeous, bright colors just had to be added as much as possible on my layout! I added a sub title taking the words Summer Awaits from the Chit Chat pack and adhering them using foam adhesive at the bottom of the cut file.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dive into your summer memories and get creative with our newest release!

Happy creating!

Remember This Moment | Grateful Heart collection | Pretty Little Studio

Hi creative friends! 

Today I’m excited to share a heartfelt layout created with the stunning Grateful Heart collection by Pretty Little Studio. This collection is packed with cozy colours, warm sentiments, and beautiful florals—perfect for documenting moments that matter most.

For this layout, I wanted to capture a sweet memory with my beautiful Mum, and the Grateful Heart collection couldn’t have been more fitting. I began by layering strips of patterned paper vertically and horizontally to form a cross design that draws the eye right to the centre of the page. I love the vibrant mix of plum, mustard, navy, and soft pink tones that really make the layout pop.

The photo is matted with one of the bold plaid papers to create contrast, and I tucked in a few die cuts and florals around the edges for added texture and dimension. The little camera icon just above the photo is a favourite—perfect for highlighting memories.

Below the photo, I added the sentiment 'Remember this Moment' from the die-cut pack. It speaks perfectly to the story behind the photo. I also included a beautiful heart border strip in those rich collection colours for an extra touch of love.

To finish off, I used a date stamp to mark the memory and added a few embellishments like the tags, flair button, and layered phrases to bring it all together. The subtle background stencil adds a soft visual interest without taking away from the main elements.

The Grateful Heart collection truly makes it easy to express gratitude and joy in your scrapbooking. Whether you’re documenting everyday moments or special occasions, this collection wraps your memories in warmth and love.

Thanks so much for stopping by today—I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your favourite photos and create with a grateful heart.

Happy creating!

Summer Time | Summer Fun collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends!

If you're anything like me, summer is all about sunshine, laughter, and making sweet memories — and the Summer Fun collection by Doodlebug Design perfectly captures that sunny spirit in every sticker, paper, and embellishment.

For this layout, I documented a fun beach day with my Mum at Jimmy’s Beach in NSW, Australia. The colorful striped background immediately set the tone for a playful and vibrant vibe — and how perfect are those colors?! Pink, orange, yellow, green, blue... it's like a rainbow exploded in the best way possible!

I added a scalloped border strip from the This and That sticker sheet across the top for a little extra dimension and tucked in some fun elements like a mini parrot Doodle Pop sticker, hearts from the Sam & Sally Seahorse Doodle-Pop, and the cutest little 'Vitamin Sea' sentiment from the Chit Chat die-cuts pack. Doodlebug never disappoints when it comes to adorable details!!

I layered up lots of the coordinating die cuts and stickers from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs — tropical leaves, a rainbow umbrella, beach ball, and of course, that sweet 'Summer Time' title cluster.

At the bottom of the layout, I included a journaling spot labeled 'MEMORIES' from the Bits and Pieces pack to record the location and date of our beach trip. A cute pink flamingo Doodle-Pop and floral accents also from the Bits and Pieces pack helped tie it all together and frame the story.

And let’s not forget that photo! It’s always the centerpiece — and the happy faces in it remind me exactly why I scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to dive into your summer memories and get creative with Doodlebug’s newest release!

Happy creating!
