Doodlebug Cute & Crafty Composition Books!

Hey crafty friends! Today I'm sharing another fun project made with the Doodlebug Cute and Crafty Collection! I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog today too! I am totally in love with this collection for making cards and presents for all my crafty friends. How nice to have paper, stickers and embellishments that are all centered around our favorite pastime - crafting! Yippee! Today I am sharing how I reuse and recycle other things using my Doodlebug supplies. Just about everything or anything can be covered in paper!! I made two composition books and a small organizer (or pencil) bin to show you today. These would be great to give a crafty friend, to send in the mail, or even would be fun if you wanted to host a creative event! There is no limit to how you can decorate and personalize this project. I buy the inexpensive composition books at Amazon or Staples!

I started each composition book by covering the front cover of the book with the 12x12 patterned papers. That was my foundation... Then I used all the other supplies to decorate the books. Flowers, gems, stickers...I love it all!

I really like to layer all of the things! Different textures and shapes! The Flowers are from the Cute and Crafty Bits and Pieces pack. The scissors are a Doodlepop! I also added some tabs.... Perfect for organizing your thoughts.

I used pieces from the Chit Chat package, the Odds and Ends package and the Bits and Pieces package. It's so easy to craft when everything matches perfectly.

These are the plain composition books and the tin I started with. I always save cool tins and boxes to repurpose! (oh and I love cookies, LOL). I like this size because it holds a gift card and some candy and you can make a matching card too.

This book cover has a camera theme! I added a strip of repeating pattern across the bottom of each book. This one has cameras!

That's my motto: Eat, sleep, craft, repeat! (maybe I would add drink coffee!)

Here's the cover of the organizer bin. A simple stitched circle out of patterned paper. I covered the bin with patterned paper and added a sticker scalloped border. I added the saying with foam tape and a layer of hearts paper.

Get your creativity flowing and see what else you can cover with paper and stickers!! Wishing you a very happy day today, and always. Thanks for always stopping by and for your kindness and support! XOXO

Beautiful and fun projects. Just like Donna I was wondering which adhesive you used on the composition book? Was it the Lawn Fawn liquid glue?

Wanda!! The never ending inspiration!!! These are adorable!! Love the idea of covering the notebooks. Could do that with an art journal to fill! Hope your week is lovely!
