Celebrate December | Bramble Fox

Hi creative friends, 

There’s something magical about putting together a Christmas layout, and this project might be one of my favourites of the season! Today I’m sharing a bright and joyful Christmas page featuring a navy December perspextive title from Bramble Fox, paired with the Oh What Fun collection by Pinkfresh Studio.These products truly feel like they were made for each other—fresh colours, playful icons, and plenty of festive charm.

I began the layout by building everything around my Christmas tree photo and the gorgeous December perspextive title. Its bold navy colour and smooth acrylic finish create instant impact at the top of the page. I tucked a soft script word—celebrate—just above it for an extra layer of texture without overpowering the statement piece. The combination adds the perfect title to the design.

On the left side of the layout, I enhanced the cascading wall of ornaments on the patterned paper by adding the Festive Ornaments perspextives to them. The variety of shapes, colours, and patterns gives the page so much movement! I staggered the pieces to make them feel like they’re dangling from the pine boughs illustrated at the top corner. A few gold stars and gold twine bows add sparkle and dimension, tying everything together beautifully.

To the right of the photo, I layered a tag, enamel dots, a sweet ballerina perspextive ornament, and small die-cut icons for added detail. These little moments of decoration help balance the busy ornament cluster on the left while keeping the layout cohesive.

My tip: Use foam adhesive under nearby paper pieces to match the dimension of the acrylic—this creates a smooth visual flow and helps the title sit naturally on the page.

Every element—colours, shapes, textures, and layers—work together to highlight the joy and magic of December. The combination of the December perspextive title and the Christmas collection creates such a fresh, modern holiday look, and I absolutely love how this layout turned out.

If you're looking to document your own festive memories, these products are a perfect match for creating pages that sparkle with joy and story-telling charm.

Thanks for joining me today! Happy creating!

Our Christmas Tree | Sugar Plum collection | Pretty Little Studio

 Hi creative friends, 

The Christmas season is the perfect time to capture those magical moments, and what better way to do it than with a stunning scrapbook layout? Today, I’m sharing a design that combines mixed media techniques with the beautiful Sugar Plum collection by Pretty Little Studio. This layout celebrates the heart of Christmas—our tree!

The layout is created by layering scalloped strips of patterned paper from the Sugar Plum collection. These strips cascade down the page in shades of pink, red, and white that draws the eye straight to the centerpiece photo of our beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

To add depth and texture, I started with a white cardstock base and applied a soft watercolor wash in pink tones behind the tree shape. A few splatters of red ink give the page a playful, festive vibe. This subtle mixed media background enhances the patterned layers without overpowering them.

The Sugar Plum collection shines through in the details:

Die-cut words like Joy and Love add a heartfelt touch.

Tiny icons—candy canes, ornaments, and snowflakes—are sprinkled throughout for extra charm.

A bold title, “Our Christmas Tree,” anchors the design and balances the photo.

The photo itself is framed with coordinating patterned paper, making it pop against the layers.

The combination of structured layers and free-flowing mixed media creates a dynamic, eye-catching design. The Sugar Plum collection provides the perfect palette of reds, pinks, and whimsical holiday motifs, making this layout both festive and elegant.

To complete the layout, I added:

Labels and tabs for journaling and dates.

Dimensional elements like foam adhesive under some strips for a layered effect.

A mix of hearts and festive phrases to tie everything together.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you get to enjoy some crafty time this Christmas season!

Happy creating!

Ho Ho Ho | Oh What Fun collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends, 

Christmas is the perfect time to get creative, and today I’m sharing a festive layout that will make your memories shine! Using the super cute and gorgeous Oh What Fun Collection by Doodlebug Design Inc, I created a playful Christmas tree design that’s bursting with colour, cheer, and adorable details.

Instead of a traditional tree, I built a tree shape using stickers and embellishments from the Chit Chat, Odds and Ends, Bits and Pieces packs, This and That stickers, Shape Sprinkles, Puffy stickers and of course some Doodle Pops! This design draws the eye straight to the center where the photo sits, making it the star of the show while surrounded by holiday magic.

Base & Background: I started with a crisp white cardstock background framed with a bright red patterned paper for a pop of color.

Tree Shape: The tree is formed by layering gift box die-cuts and stickers in a triangular arrangement. Each piece adds texture and dimension, creating a fun stacked-present look. I adhered 90% of the embellishments using foam tape to create that dimension and shadows. 

Photo Placement: The photo is nestled in the center of the tree, framed by cheerful elements like candy canes, bows, and gingerbread characters.

The Oh What Fun Collection is packed with gorgeous whimsical icons—elves, ornaments, toys, gingerbread people, stars, and sweet treats. I added:

Doodle-Pops for a 3D effect.

Shape Sprinkles and Puffy stickers to fill in gaps and add pops of color.

A star sticker at the top to complete the tree look.

A festive light garland die-cut topped with Shape Sprinkles to enhance it across the top of the page for extra holiday charm.

To tie everything together, I added a stitched border around the layout and a playful “Merry Christmas” sentiment at the bottom. The result? A bright, joyful page that captures the spirit of the season.

I love how this layout turned out and I love that it’s a creative way to showcase a single photo while using up lots of fun embellishments. Plus, the tree shape makes it instantly festive!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you get some time to craft this holiday season! Why not start by using the Oh What Fun collection?! You will love it!

Happy crafting!

Merry & Bright Tag Album | Oh What Fun collection | Doodlebug Design Inc

Hi creative friends!

The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative, and what better way to capture the joy of Christmas than with a colorful tag album? Using the gorgeous Oh What Fun collection I made a cheerful keepsake that’s full of personality and festive charm!

To make the album extra special, I turned the front tag into a shaker pocket. I used the Christmas Magic acetate to create the window and filled the pocket with the Christmas confetti shakers—tiny circles move around freely when you shake it, to keep it all inside I machine stitched around the edge and added a gold metal eyelet to the top. This interactive element adds so much fun and dimension to the album and makes it the perfect eye-catching cover.

I flipped the 'Spots of Cheer' paper to the ‘B’ side and cut out the tag shapes. Cutting out each tag gave me 6 mini canvases to work on individually.

Once the tags were cut, I decorated each one using tone-on-tone embellishments. This means I matched the embellishments to the color of the tag—pink accents on pink tags, green on green, and so on. This technique creates a cohesive look while still letting each tag shine individually.

I layered stickers, die-cuts, and borders from the collection, adding dimension with Doodle-Pops and a few enamel dots for sparkle. The result is a vibrant, coordinated set of tags that feel festive but not cluttered, I added a metal ring through the top to keep the tags altogether, I then added the Christmas tree charm and some ribbons to finish it off.

Tag albums are a fun and versatile way to document memories or create a mini gift. They’re small, easy to assemble, and allow you to play with layers, textures, and embellishments without the pressure of a full scrapbook layout.

This tag album was not only fun to make but it's also a wonderful way to celebrate the season. The Oh What Fun Collection truly lives up to its name with its vibrant colors and whimsical designs!

Happy crafting!

Trick Or Treat | Goosebumps collection | Pretty Little Studio

 Hi creative friends, 

Halloween is one of the most exciting times to get creative with your scrapbooking, and the Goosebumps collection by Pretty Little Studio is perfect for capturing those spooky, fun-filled memories! Today, I’m sharing a layout that combines bold patterns, playful tags, and festive embellishments to bring the Halloween spirit to life.

Striking Border: The layout features a geometric border in navy and orange that frames the page beautifully, adding structure and a pop of color.

Tag Cluster: At the center, a trio of tags steals the show. Each tag showcases unique designs from the Goosebumps collection—think spider webs, pumpkins, and bold typography like “Trick or Treat.” These tags create a layered, dimensional look that draws the eye to the focal point.

Playful Elements: A large spider graphic and a colorful pumpkin embellishment add a touch of whimsy. The spider web detail in the top corner, complete with a 3D spider accent, gives the page a fun, spooky vibe.

Color Palette: Orange, teal, navy, and black combine for a festive yet balanced Halloween theme.

Finishing Touches: Black ink splatters scattered across the background add texture and movement, making the page feel lively and artistic.

Start with a Strong Border: Use patterned paper strips or Goosebumps border designs to frame your layout. Stick to Halloween colors like orange, navy, and black for a cohesive look.

Create a Tag Cluster: Choose 2–3 tags from the collection and layer them behind your photo. Mix patterns and text-based designs for variety.

Add Dimension: Use foam adhesive behind tags and embellishments to give your layout depth. This makes the elements pop off the page.

Incorporate Iconic Motifs: Spiders, pumpkins, and webs are classic Halloween symbols. Add die-cuts or stickers from the Goosebumps collection to reinforce the theme.

Balance Your Colors: Distribute orange and teal accents evenly across the page so the design feels harmonious.

Finish with Texture: Splatter black ink or paint lightly across the background for an artsy, spooky effect. This adds movement without overwhelming the design.

Personalize It: Swap in your own Halloween photo and adjust embellishments to match your story—whether it’s trick-or-treating, a costume party, or pumpkin carving.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you had a great Halloween and have some spooky memories to document! The Goosebumps collection would be perfect to document your memories!

Sweetheart | Bramble Fox

Hi creative friends! 

Scrapbooking is all about turning memories into art, and my Sweetheart layout created for Bramble Fox is a perfect example of how design and storytelling can come together beautifully. This page is a celebration of delicate details, soft colours, and a theme that feels warm and inviting.

The first thing that catches the eye is the stunning honeycomb pattern that fills the page. Each hexagon is thoughtfully accented with floral illustrations, bees, and subtle textures, creating a natural, whimsical vibe. This design choice adds depth without overwhelming the central photo, making it the perfect backdrop for a sweet memory.

The Sweetheart perspextive title sits just to the left of the photo, crafted in soft pink tones that complement the overall palette. The playful fonts add personality and draws attention to the heart of the layout—literally and figuratively.

From tiny bees to honey jars and floral clusters, the embellishments are what make this layout shine. They’re not just decorative—they reinforce the theme of sweetness and nature. The bow beneath the title adds a charming touch, while the phrases So Perfect, Moment Captured and Sweet & Sassy from Paper Snips #80 give the page a personal, uplifting feel.

This layout is proof that scrapbooking is more than preserving memories—it’s about celebrating them with creativity and heart. If you’re looking for inspiration, the Sweetheart perspextive title is a perfect starting point for your next project.

Thanks for stopping by today, 

Happy crafting!

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!
