FARMHOUSE ACCORDION ALBUMS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew! How nice to see you today! I hope you've had a beautiful Thanksgiving celebration and had a wondrous time to reflect, reconnect and relax with your friends and family! How stuffed did you manage to get with all the yummy trimmings! With December only a couple days away, let's have some Fall inspiration to get you memory keeping - enter my next Farmhouse project; mini accordion albums! And there is a fun video showcase at the end my friends!

These sweet gems are 4x4.5" and 3.5x4" each. I made each album by starting with three pieces of chipboard and wrapping each with a strip of 12x12 Farmhouse patterned paper. The papers I used for the covers are Farmhouse and Fall Floral. The smaller album is covered with Fall Floral and Country Calico. I love all the papers, but these ones I used were destined to be! So fitting :-)

After I made and decorated the covers, I grabbed a couple sheets of white 12x12" cardstock and cut two strips to fit inside the album. You'll need to bind one edge to the other, creating a long 24" strip. This will serve as all the "pages" in the album. Score each page evenly and fold. Secure one end inside the back cover. You can then have the pages in and out of the cover. Next I decorated the pages with tabs and bits from the Bits & Pieces ephemera pack. Look how cute those wee tags look!

Once the cover was completed and the strip of page was folded into "pages" then comes the BEST bit ever of decorating! There is so much happiness enclosed in each Doodlebug collection, and Farmhouse is no exception! I can't tell you how much I love opening the Odds & Ends, Bits & Pieces and Chit Chat ephemera packs. You will never be short of goodies!

Here I made pop up pieces, tuck spots, tuck in areas and used Shaped Sprinkles here and there. Look how cute the kitties look all nested on the padded chair.

I Hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Thanks for stopping by y'all, until next time doodle dee!

FARMHOUSE GRATEFUL LAYOUT | with Tya

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! Today I wanted to take a moment to reflect on gratitude. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to design for Doodlebug- a company whose products always inspire me to create with joy. It's a privilege to share my love of crafting with such an incredible community, and I hope this layout- featuring the simply lovely Farmhouse collection, brings a little inspiration to your day!

As I sat down to create, I was drawn to the This and That sticker sheet. This is always a good starting place for me because I look here for titles. The "begin each day with a grateful heart" was just what I was looking for. Those words felt especially meaningful as we celebrate a season of gratitude. I wanted to design a quick and simple layout that would bring this beautiful sentiment to the forefront. I built a layered cluster around this sticker with a tag, stamp, and heart die cuts from the Bits and Pieces ephemera and some stickers.

I balanced the design with a selfie photo matting it with some Coral Textured Cardstock. I added a Bon Bon Doily for some added texture in this grouping. Under my photo is a border of beautiful florals and leaves from one of the die cuts in the Bits and Pieces.

Up in the top left corner of the layout is another grouping of embellishments as well as my journaling. The pop of black in the embellishments paired well with my black-and-white photo. You can also see that I cut out one of the tags from the Buffalo Plaid patterned paper. Here you can also see the pattern papers I used on my layout - the pretty plaid on the Country Quilt paper, the lovely mint on the Farmhouse paper, and the delicious dots on the Woodland Berries paper.

I love all the tag shapes that are found in the collection so along the left side of my layout, I chose 5 tags - 3 from the Bits and Pieces and 2 cut from the Give Thanks tag cut apart paper. I tied some Beetle Black Doodle Twine to a few of the tags to tie in the black and white colors.

As I reflect on this project, I am reminded of the importance of gratitude - not just during the holiday season, but every day. I hope this layout inspires you to celebrate the big and small moments of life with a grateful heart.

  

Thank you all for stopping by today - wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and creativity! Take care and we will see you next time!

FARMHOUSE SWEET MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Fall is the season of all things cozy and warm, so what better than fresh baked treats and all the sweet memories that come with it! I love all the baking icons in the Farmhouse collection, and wanted to use them to document my daughter's baking skills

I pulled all the icons in a simple and clean design with a small twist.

I started my page with a basic coordinating cardstock, and trimmed it to about 10.5", then decided to frame the page with the Farmhouse paper (cut to 10.75"). I then decided to cut two of the corners of the Fall Floral paper, so that I could tuck the framed cardstock.

I backed my pictures with papers from the 6x6 paper pad, but decided to anchor them to the page with the large journaling card from the Woodland berries paper.

Did I mentioned that the inspiration for this page was all the baking/kitchen icons in the collection! Well, I pulled a few Odds & Ends pieces and mixed them with some of the stickers to create two large clusters next to each of the photos.

For my title, I pulled a few pieces from the Chit Chat package, and set it below the photos. I love the color and font of the title as it does not compete with all the color and details in the icons.

To finish the page, I added a few sprinkles around each of the clusters and all it needs is the journaling lines. I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires your own creation with the beautiful Farmhouse collection.  XO

FARMHOUSE SHAKER TAG MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Conny! I’m excited to share my latest project featuring the charming Farmhouse collection. One of my main inspirations came from the beautiful 12 x 12 Double-Sided Buffalo Plaid paper. I particularly loved the side with tags, which was a perfect template for creating the additional tags throughout my mini album. The rustic and cozy feel of the plaid really brought my project to life, and I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together!

Here's how I put it together!  I began with a template measuring 5 7/8" x 3 1/2".  I cut all my papers from the 6x6 paper pad or used scraps left over from my last project. Additionally, I utilized some Heavy Clear Acetate to create the templates for my shaker tags.

For the next step, I used my sewing machine to seal three sides of the tag. Then, I added a mix of shaker elements, including Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers Shakers, as well as some Tangerine Shakers. For extra flair, I included round sequins in bumblebee and cupcake. After adding the sprinkles to the clear acetate, I sewed the top of the tag shut using my sewing machine.

For the shaker cover, I embellished it with flowers from the Bits & Pieces, along with some Puffy Icon Stickers and the Turkey Time Doodle-Pop. I also added the Mini Maple Little Charmer to the ribbons. Inside the mini album, I decorated further and included photo mats that measure 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". Additionally, I incorporated a few smaller tags from the Bits & Pieces and added pom-pom ribbons for extra detail.

I added shakers as covers and one in the middle of my mini-album. My mini-album has about seven pages, but you can definitely add more. Have you ever created a mini-tag album before? I would love to see you give this project a try! You can hand stitch and create different fun patterns if you don't have a sewing machine. Make it enjoyable and uniquely yours!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

FARMHOUSE BARN SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

I love shaped mini albums. I've made them for years with my Cricut. One of my favorite projects was my barn album using Doodlebug On the Farm. But I made it years ago and it was probably the second album I'd done that was my own design that wasn't ring bound. I've learned a lot since then. So when I saw the adorable barn in the Odds and Ends for the Farmhouse collection I knew it was time for an upgraded version.

The Doodlebug SVG files available in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop are always amazing and this little Farmhouse -Barn SVG was no exception. I cut the base from chipboard using my Cricut Maker and the barn elements from the Farmhouse Coordinating Cardstock. I decorated with the Odds and Ends. And why yes, there is a goat on the roof (A very goat thing to do!)

Inside I've added some frameless shakers to make sure I got to use the new Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers shaker mixes.

I made a couple of simple layout pages and used Doodle-Pops and Bits and Pieces to decorate.

There are lots of flaps and pockets and places for pictures. I also make sure to cut apart the cute large tag paper and add some seam binding for some journaling and picture spots.

And the BEST part is there is a full, FREE tutorial on my YouTube channel! I walk you through how to make the album base in Design Space and all the construction.

FARMHOUSE THANKSGIVING LAYOUT | with Erica

Hi friends! Erica here today sharing a 12x12 layout using the Farmhouse collection!

I wanted to create a simple clean design but add a pretty detail under my layers with one of my favorite border punches!

I started with a 12x12 piece of Lily White Textured Cardstock. I cut out some strips of pattern papers from the Farmhouse collection. Starting with 2.50" x 12" and adhered along the left side of my layout about and inch and a half in from the left. I tucked in two border punched strips in the layers and I love the little detail it adds to the layout.

Next I created a photo mat to go horizontal on my page with some of the Farmhouse coordinating textured cardstock . Next I added one of the border stickers from the 12x12 Farmhouse sticker sheet.

To finish up the layout I created two embellishment clusters with Farmhouse Odds & Ends, Icon stickers and some shape sprinkles!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and give this simple design a try!

FARMHOUSE HOME LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends!! I'm so happy to be bringing another layout to y'all using the new Farmhouse collection. As the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaches, I love to look back on the past year and think about all of the moments I'm grateful for. This photo of my sweet girl being one of them! I'm so grateful for everyday moments like this. Here's my page:

To start, I took the Farmhouse 12x12 paper and used it as my base. I then took a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it down to an 11x11 and matted it with the Country Calico paper that I had trimmed to a 10x10. I love layering papers together like this!

I needed another piece of cardstock to ground my photo, title and embellishments, so I took the Swimming Pool DB cardstock and cut out a banner shape. I popped it up on foam tape and adhered it towards the bottom of the page. I pulled a large floral piece from the Bits and Pieces pack and adhered it down in the right corner. My photo is a 4x4 that I trimmed to resemble a polaroid photo and I tucked it into that floral piece.

I chose the large 'Home' piece from the Chit Chat pack for my title. The black and white pattern really pop on this page and I think it was the perfect choice. I also layered a few floral bits to the top left of it.

I needed an embellishment cluster at the top right of my photo so I tucked in a tag from the Bits and Pieces pack and tied some Doodlebug Twine through it. Next, I pulled in a few bits from the Odds and

Ends pack and tucked them into the cluster as well.

Next, I added some smaller elements using a few Puffy Icons stickers as well as a few Fall Flurry Shape Sprinkles stickers.

Here's one last look at this sweet, Fall themed page:

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!
