Doodlebug Crafty Mixed Media Book

If you love bright colors, interactive albums, and all things crafty, you’ll love creating the Doodlebug Crafty Mixed Media Book with Leslie.

During this full-day workshop, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind interactive mini album featuring cheerful papers from Doodlebug Design combined with artistic mixed media techniques. This playful album is filled with pockets, flaps, fold-outs, journaling spots, tags, and photo mats, making it the perfect place to preserve memories from crafting adventures, retreats, classes, creative friendships, or everyday life.

Throughout the day, Leslie will demonstrate how to create colorful mixed media backgrounds before assembling the album using a variety of interactive construction techniques. You’ll learn how to combine texture, color, patterned papers, and dimensional embellishments into a cohesive keepsake that’s as fun to make as it is to display.

With plenty of room for photos, journaling, and memorabilia, this album can easily be customized for your own memories after class. Whether you use it to document your favorite crafting events or create a gift for a creative friend, you’ll leave with a beautiful project and a collection of new techniques to use again and again.
