The advent calendar is really cute and I imagine people will do some amazing things with it, and the acetate is quite pretty.
The Halloween line is cute but not really my thing except for the black hearts. I love how much the carved pumpkins faces look like little kids, they do such a great job for their target market.

I’m usually not much of a Doodlebug fan but I do like this Christmas line. The gingerbread people are really cute. I’ll probably pick up some of the stickers and maybe a few sheets of paper.

The Halloween line looks similar to previous ones except they added pink. They might have done it on previous collections, but there are no more smiley faces on the sprinkles. Happy to see that change. The Christmas line is cute, especially the advent calendar.

While both collections are adorable, I'm not the target audience. TFS.

I like that there's separate die cut packs of icons and word phrases. It's cute, as always!

The Halloween line is really cute, but I don't have littles to scrapbook, so it's a pass.
I may buy a few sheets of paper from the Christmas line, mostly for the B sides.

Cute images. Interesting colour combo's. Not planning on running out to order, but I might just pick some pieces up if I see them IRL. Nothing is as cute as Doodlebug. And these people know how to market. I love their sample page for the Gingerbread kisses line, and want to lift it, even though I can see there are at least $20 worth of product on that one page LOL. Hey kitbop --and other bakers--they have a stand up mixer stamp and die! And I have a WHISK die that would work with that cute greeting at the bottom of the stamp.

I've always loved Doodlebug, and these collections are no exception. Adorable. Although I don't have little ones anymore, I might have to snag a few of those Halloween stickers. That Advent Calendar and those Christmas stickers will probably find their way to me as well. Thanks for sharing!

I love Doodlebug so much but have older Christmas and Halloween collections to use before I buy more.

I think the Christmas collection is really cute! My only critique/wish is that it was a little more diverse. If they could vary the shades of some of the Santas, it would be perfect! It’s something I can easily do with a pencil, but I wish I didn’t have to. It doesn’t always come out great and sometimes leaves pencil impressions on the stickers. I guess I could also use a marker. I have this critique/wish for other lines too. Also…Yay! I’m official. I can finally reply to threads  . |

These are both pretty collections but I really don't need anymore Halloween or Christmas supplies. Love lots of their embellishments but theirs are always a little more expensive than other brands.
Thanks for showing us @night Owl.

The Halloween line looks similar to previous ones except they added pink. The colors in this line are much different than past years. I have the last 3 Halloween lines and they are neon colors and the colors in this line are pastel. I am actually pretty surprised- Doodlebug usually sticks to the same colors year after year. All of my Halloween lines go together well. That being said, I really like the new color schemes. Both the Halloween line and the Christmas line are much more pastel. For the past few years their Christmas lines always had a really eye piercing green in it. I love green but I couldn't stand it with the red they used. I'll get quite a bit of the Halloween line. I love the new colors and Doodlebug's b-sides are really usable. I have used the past Halloween lines on quite a few layouts that weren't Halloween themed. I like the star shapes, the black cats, the trees, and the bats. All of them are useful to me for non-Halloween layouts. I'm not usually a cutesy Christmas scrapper but my sister is obsessed with baking and this line has a lot of usable stuff for her hobby. I'll pick up a few papers and some kind of icon embellishment to do her layouts. Doodlebug used to not be my jam (still not crazy about smiley faces on everything) but lately it has been appealing to me. |

Yeah, I got sucked in. I think both lines are cute, and although I have no reason to scrap Halloween in such a kid-centric way, there were several papers that had great B sides, and a couple of A sides that would work without having to be a page about kids. The Christmas line was fun, but I was able to narrow down my purchases by eliminating the papers that were about baking, tags or advent countdown. Basically I bought about 6 sheets from each line, a couple of packs of sprinkles and a pack of "Odds and Ends" for each.
It helped that between the 20% discount, $15 in cherries, and points on my credit card I didn't pay any actual money! Now I need to spend more so I can put points on my credit card again! (My husband loves my logic!)

artbabe I was just thinking this Halloween line is a bit too pastel for my taste. I’m all for changing up traditional Halloween colors, and really like the teal with purple from Echo Park Monster Mash and the bright pink and teal in Doodlebug Monster Madness. Bella Blvd also had Spell On You with traditional colors mixed with bright and pale teal as well as yellow. What’s missing for me in the new DB color scheme is contrast.

The House chipboard album is fun! You could easily adapt it to any holiday or just decorate it like a regular house. I've always liked Doodlebug, but nothing is a must buy NOW for me.

I love that pastel purple/lavender with the black in the Halloween line! That is so pretty and different. The whole thing is cute and I love the color combo change up 🥰
Their Christmas stuff is always adorable and I have way too much of it. Hee. But I’ll need a few pieces of this. The baking stuff especially. I do a lot of food gifts and make tags and things for those. I think the stamp & die set will go in my cart for the mixer alone. I can use that all year round!
Guess I need to pop over to ACOT to pre-order. Thanks for enabling!

Hoping to win them so I don’t have to buy them! Both collections are very muted. I can always use Doodlebug for donation cards. The cute soft Halloween line would be terrific for donating so I’ll probably pick some up. Not sure if I’ll go all out with the Christmas line. I’m currently using up a couple of 6x6 pads and die cuts from the past couple of years and might be ready for a change for my next Christmas cardmaking spree. For a long time I didn’t get the Doodlepops because they were a bit too dimensional and pricey, but I splurged one year and bought a few. I guess it was a little longer ago than I thought - I noticed that the glossy accents stuff on them has already yellowed  so no more of those for me. I need some of those black puffy hearts though. Hopefully they will hold up OK. |

so no more of those for me.
