When it comes to scrapbooking, doodling seems to be a technique that some people do well at, or some people run away from it. Doodling is a great way to express yourself artistically and when added to a layout, it can be like adding your own signature, like an artist would do to to their own masterpieces. Normally when people think of doodling they think it's just a drawing, but that drawing can add so much to a layout and even make an excellent accent to a page just like this one from DT member Maureen:
Doodling on a layout can even be something as simple as outlining a little border around paper and accents. (Here's a tip: when doodling, just go with the flow and faster, when you think about it too hard and go slowly, it can have disappointing results. I have found when I just "go with it" it seems to give me the more whimsical look I am desiring.) For my layout I doodled some border lines with a black and white pen, but I also "doodled" my pink accent flower on the bottom corner. 
Using one of the Pebbles Inc templates, I created my own little whimsical accent to match my layout. To do this all I did was use a template, and trace the shape of one of the flowers. Then I removed the stencil, then traced losely over the flower shape a few times (no need to go perfectly over the same lines) then I added some dots, colored in with some Pebbles Inc chalks and added a Pebbles Inc Chips chipboard circle and the flower center. Then I cut around it and used pop dots to adhere, and there you go!
For my layout, I used the Skipping Along line by Pebbles Inc., as well as Chips, Dots, and Chalks!
DT Member Lynn made this super cute card using the stencils as a template to make her own "die cuts" and then doodled some dots and dashed to complete her card!
DT member Gaelle created this beautiful layout using the stencils to accent her background.
DT member is Emeline made this card and used stencils and a white pen to make these great accent circles.
DT member Debbie created this scenery using the stencils to doodle and chalk for a cloud background.

DT member Deanna made this card by doodling the red flower with a stencil and the bracket, which added to the matching stckers and paper. 
Dt member Celeste used a stencil to make stars to match her "Brothers" layout. Sometimes when you can't find the perfect accent, you can easily make your own!
