This is simply a fabulous piece of paper. Actually calling it paper isn't very accurate; it is thick. These colorful images are a dream to punch or fussy cut. (I used a circle punch on many of the designs.) The designs are vibrant, and you can't beat an entire ephemeral pack of very usable images for the price. (I got mine on clearance!) Just put it in your cart; you won't regret it! I hope to see more of these type of sheets.

This die cuts the perfect little string bow! I love it! The price was great, too! Now I just need to be careful not to lose it!

This is a fun font (always appreciated) in a great color. My only complaint is that no capital letters are included, which is a pet peeve of mine.

I used this with the coordinating paper pack. Added the finishing touches I needed.

The designs in this kit are great. The neutral color scheme makes it work with any school (though I would prefer some color). I'm not a huge fan of the glossy finish on the paper, but still think it's a good kit.

Wolf Pack is a refreshingly different, yet infinitely usable collection for a variety of outdoor and masculine themes. My only quibble is that mountains are mentioned on quite a few of the embellishments, and there aren't any near me. I would love to see more collections like this!

This is a versatile paper that can be used for a variety of stories and isn't gender specific. It will make a quick page!

This is even more lovely in person.

It's so refreshing to find a sheet of cut-apart journaling cards that actually have places to journal on them! So often these days, the "journaling cards" are really just filler cards with images on them, and you are lucky if there is one decorated card with space to journal on it. Keep up the good work, Doodlebug!

I'm using this collection for my December album, and couldn't be more pleased. The papers are beautifully designed and printed on the thick and textured cardstock that Carta Bella is known for.

This paper is elegant and suitable for male or female graduates. I simply matted my photo and added a bit of journaling for a very easy, but beautiful page.

This is cute paper, but one of the squares has a sign that says, "Welcome to Minnesota Land of 1,000 Lakes." Minnesota has more than 10,000 lakes! That's a pretty big math error!

This is a fun little tool to add to my arsenal. Making smooth circles with it does take some practice, as changes in pen angle can make them a bit wonky, but it can be done! Lots of fun features in a small package make this worthy of being tossed in with my essential tool kit for travel. Speaking of packaging...I was pretty disappointed with the sticker circles holding the circle making section of the tool in the packaging. I now have a sticky residue in two places on my tool. I would have expected more thoughtful packaging methods that don't damage the tool. I'm pretty disappointed in this!

This is a really cute collection, and I purchased most of the line for my Christmas album. I do have one complaint, though: Why, on a sheet of 12 cards, is there only 1 journaling card? The other cut apart pages are similar. I would rather have decorated journaling cards rather than image cards. I am going to end up putting a lot of my journaling on white cardstock, even though I have tons of pieces from this collection. So disappointing...

Vibrant, yet soft watercolor print on heavy paper - I ordered an extra after I received my first sheet!

I used these (along with the dies) to make Easter cards and bookmarks this year. They were beautiful, stamped well, and I've just begun to mix and match the elements. Highly recommend!

The colors of this washi tape are just beautiful! The book has lots of great designs. I have thought of ways to use almost all of them, which is saying a lot, since I primarily scrap boy pages! Very inspiring!

These are pretty tiny, but very cute!

This is a lovely collection. The pictures don't do justice to the richness of the colors. The palette is a lift unexpected for a winter collection, but it works!

I used this on some of my Christmas cards this year. It't pretty with some interest. I have a few sheets left, so I plan to use both patterns in my scrapbook. The cobalt blue is especially nice.

I used this on some of my Christmas cards this year. It's pretty with a nice grey accent. The branding strip is great, too. Too bad this line is being discontinued.

This is a beautiful collection. The dark orange is the perfect accent for so many of the patterns that are included. I ordered more, because I had used up what I had!

I used the linen side for my Christmas cards this year. It was a lovely shade. The pattern reads as a neutral, but adds some dimension that a solid card stock wouldn't. I was pleased, and I still have a few sheets left for layouts.

Doodlebug makes great card stock letter stickers. They stick well, but you can reposition them if needed. They come in great fonts and multiple colors. They are easy to mix and match; you can sub in another word (or letter) in another color and have the font stay consistent. I definitely get their letter stickers in many colors. Reasonably priced & great quality. My only complaint with this particular set is that I like to have both capital and lowercase letters in the same set, but that's a quibble.

These card stock letters stick well, but are easy to reposition if needed. Great, simple font in a beautiful color. My only quibble is that this particular set includes only lowercase letters.

These are cute and versatile. The pockets themselves are heavy weight. Great embellishment for journaling. You could also tuck some memorabilia or additional photos inside.

This is just a lovely and versatile pattern! I used it on my Christmas cards and never got tired of seeing it. Thankfully, I still have a few sheets left to use in my scrapbook album!

I used the little church on the envelopes of my Christmas cards, since it coordinated nicely with the cards I had made. It stamped beautifully every time (using a We R Memory Keepers stamp press). I am looking forward to using the rest of the set. Each stamp is adorable. There are lots of possibilities with this little set!

I bought this at a local store and love how light weight it is and that it easily fits into my small crop bag. (It would be even better if the handle folded or was removable.) The first 2 times I used it, it worked great. The third time, however, it broke (handle wouldn't turn, a little black piece of plastic fell out, and I could hear something rattling around inside) and the plates with 2 of my dies were firmly stuck in the machine. I took it back to the store I bought it from. The manager was able to remove my dies with quite a lot of force after several attempts and ordered a new machine to exchange my defective one with. I have my fingers crossed that the 2nd one will last longer! I really want a small machine for travel. I'd love it if "small" and "high quality" could be combined.

Update: It's been about a year since my first review. I've been using the replacement machine during that time, and have traveled with it quite a bit. It's been working great! There haven't been any signs of impending doom. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed!) It really is a great little machine.
