It’s November!!! This week's Happy Planner Layout

This week’s Happy Planner layout is flowery — because, well, people in Manila are currently bringing flowers to the cemetery for All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day. Haha! Joke lang. What actually happened was: what I  wanted  for this layout didn’t quite work out, so I ended up adding flowers and leaves instead. Hence, that curved floral thingy smacked right in the middle of the spread. Such an  ugh  layout, but oh wells. I used the  Happy Memory Keeping Floral Memories  and  The Encourager  sticker books for this week’s spread. Sentiment for the week:   Girl, you are super amazing. Crafty things I worked on last week  I finally turned my  Bee Happy Weeklies Aall & Create “paper dolls”  into cards ! It was a little #Inktober inspired project I worked on one afternoon just so I could play with my Distress Oxides again. I made a  hybrid scrapbook layout  for  Traci Reed’s Sketchy Sunday  — it’s a layout for my...

Digi Choosday Project | Autumn Wood Slice Decor featuring Polkadoodles’ Autumn Fall Fox

For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I made a fun and easy Autumn Wood Slice Decor using Polkadoodles’ Autumn Fall Fox digi stamp. This is a great way to use up paper scraps and ribbons in warm fall colors—and it makes for a charming seasonal display piece!



Materials Used:

  • Polkadoodles Digi Stamp: Autumn Fall Fox

  • Wood Slice

  • Ohuhu Alcohol Markers (Colors used: YR070, Y4, Y10, YR7, YR5, GY4, GY3, CGII00, R2, R8)

  • Cricut Maker

  • Paper Scraps – yellow, orange, brown, red hues

  • Trims and Ribbons – autumn shades (approx. 3 inches each)

  • Surebonder Glue Gun

  • Cardboard (for dimension)


Instructions:

  1. Color your digi stamp using autumn-inspired tones. I used Ohuhu alcohol markers: YR070, Y4, Y10, YR7, YR5, GY4, GY3, CGII00, R2, R8



  2. Glue lace or trim to the edge of your wood slice using a hot glue gun to secure it.




  3. Mount the digi stamp in the center. Only glue the middle section so you can tuck embellishments underneath. I added a piece of stick behind the fox to raise it slightly.



  4. Cut autumn leaves with your Cricut from paper scraps. I used a set of autumn lovely leaves file I found in Cricut Design Space.



  5. Tuck the leaves under the fox to add layers and depth.


  6. Create a ribbon bundle by tying 3-inch trims together and gluing them to the top of the wood slice.







That’s it—a cozy handmade decor piece perfect for welcoming the season!

    Time for the animals to gather food for the winter or migration for others. It's the time of year when trees would shed but even with the lack of leaves to shade us from the sun, nature is still kind that the temperature is still cooler than summer.
    Your Autumn Wood Slice Decor presents a cheerful salute to Autumn.
    As for the Northern Hemisphere, incorporating the fox design and the pumpkin trimmed with orange and brown ribbons not just show the season but the holidays associated with it. "Feed two birds with one scone" as the saying goes.
    It's appropriately designed for Autumn and Halloween.

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...

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” ...
