Digi Choosday Project | Back to School Handmade Mini Notebooks featuring Polkadoodles' Wanda



Another project to get ready for the back-to-school season, and personally, what better way to get organized (or just have something super cute) than with some handmade mini notebooks? For this Polkadoodles project, I created a coordinating set of two mini notebooks using the cutesy Studying Wanda Digi Stamp and the fun Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Pattern Paper!





I started by just eyeballing the size with regular A4 printing paper and my first try turned out a little too small for Wanda, so I made a second, slightly larger version — and now they make a perfect matching set! The smaller notebook measures 2.5 x 4 inches, while the larger one is 3.5 x 5 inches.






I colored the Wanda Computer Studying Digi Stamp with my Ohuhu markers using these colors:

🎨 Hair – R1, R4, R7

👁️‍🗨️ Eyelids – RV160

😊 Skin – R18

👚 Blouse – PB10

🪑 Chair – BG4

🪵 Table – YR1, BR1



For the covers, I used the Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Paper, then added Wanda front and center. To finish things off, I fussy cut some fun elements from the Work & Play 12 Design Sheet – Scientist/Geek Girl to give it a still fun vibe (despite the needing to go back to school) with "Talk Nerdy to Me" and "Geek Chic".

                                                  


Both notebooks were bound with my trusty We R Memory Keepers Mini Cinch — I love how polished they look with those wire bindings!


                                                 


These would make sweet little gifts for classmates and teachers, desk companions, or even for personal use! They will fit any little bag you always bring. I’m seriously tempted to make a whole set!




💖 Join us for some crafty fun!


Come play along with us in the Polkadoodles DigiChoosday Challenge — it’s anything goes, and there’s a new one every Tuesday!


Show off your creations and get inspired by the talented Polkadoodles team. Who knows — you might even win some digi goodies!

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

First Christmas card of the year — check! I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive  easel clear front card ? I love how this one turned out. For this project, I combined die cutting, digital stamps, and a bit of dimension to create a unique card that’s both sturdy and see-through (yes, acetate powers!).

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
