It's the Doodlebug hour! Always known for their core colours and whimsical illustrations, they are a favourite with so many! Ever wonder where the name "Doodlebug" came from? We asked Cynthea, the owner of Doodlebug, to share a few "fun facts" about Doodlebug with us. Did you know...
1. Cynthea's father would always comment about how every paper tablet in the house was "doodled" all over, and that is how the name "Doodlebug Design" came about :)
2. Cynthea's favorite colour is bubblegum pink! (A girl after our own heart!!)
3. Each Doodlebug office is painted a signature Doodlebug colour. (OK, how fun is that???)
4. Doodlebug has used the same core colours since their very first products (twelve years ago!).
5. Over the past twelve years, Doodlebug has created over 3,000 different items!
And from their latest release we saw at CHA, we just had to share some sweet card inspiration for our card makers from their Sugar & Spice collection:
Don't you just love these cute cards? Wouldn't you love to make them? You're in luck as Doodlebug has created an exclusive package just for OUR blog readers today that will make all of the above cards...and more!
