June 4 Polkadoodles Projects: Honeypie Mini Album & Mini Notebook

Let me introduce you to my two latest crafty makes—both full color, sparkle (shaker elements, baby!), and the irresistible charm of Polkadoodles’ cutie pie - Honeypie! I’ve been on a major Honeypie kick lately, and I couldn’t resist creating not one, but two happy little projects to kick off June.

I’m also so excited to share that I’m on this Polkadoodles journey alongside my amazing KKK Kraftsy Sisters - KM and Kaye! Be sure to follow their socials for even more crafty inspiration!

Project 1 – Honeypie Shaker Disc-Bound Mini Album

Say hello to my newest mini album! This shaker-style disc-bound album is full of Honeypie's charm, cuteness and crafty fun. The front cover is a shaker page filled with sequins, tiny flowers, and sparkly bits—just the kind of cheer we all need!

Inside, I played with a mix of plain cardstock, Wanda Printable Papers, and fun patterns from the Gnome Men Football USA collection. You’ll find interactive flaps, hand-stitched accents, inserts, and pockets tucked between blank pages, giving the future owner space to make it their own.

Of course, sweet Honeypie makes several appearances throughout—some already colored, others left blank as little coloring moments waiting to happen. I colored Honeypie with Copic markers in these colors: 0, BV11, B000, RV02, RV00, R43, YR00, and Y08.

This one is sparkly, sweet, and just a whole lot of cutesy!

Project 2 – Honeypie Spiral Notebook

Next up is a cheerful mini notebook that’s sunshine and love in paper form! I used another darling Honeypie image and set her against a gingham background from the Wanda Printable Papers. To make her little world more colorful, I added flower embellishments, grass and cloud die cuts, and finished the ring binding with colorful ribbons and trims.

It’s bright, happy, and ready to hold joyful notes, crafty lists, or doodles on the go!

I had so much fun making these pieces, and I hope they bring a smile your way too. Which project is your favorite—the sparkly interactive mini album or the floral-trimmed notebook?

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said I do at 8AM — and I still remember thinking, Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the probinsya version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two probinsyanas from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the Four Seasons Hotel only starting at 4PM — 4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been five whole years of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun! To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a tiny hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on upside down. 😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
