DECEMBER 6x8 ALBUM - CANDY CANE LANE - Doodlebug Design

I am sure that all of you have lots of memories of Christmas ( past and present) to document!  Today, I want to give a bit of inspiration featuring the sweet Candy Cane Lane in my December 6x8 album.

There is so much cuteness in this collection that it was so easy to mix and match pieces in the spreads, and put them together in no time!

My first spread is all about my nephew enjoying Gingerbread  decorating time while experiencing Covid.   I stared by bringing a bit of red accents to the page to complement the colors in the picture.

I love the cut apart journal cards, especially when I have lots of story writing to add.   I followed the design on the other page by repeating the colors and look  of the page.

For my next page, I am mixing patterned paper with all the embellishments of the collection to document all the yummy treats of the season!

This time, I am creating a smaller title page from patterned paper, then adding a bit of interest with the embellishments of the collection.    That cute little driving Santa was perfect!

For this part of the spread, I simply framed the photos with patterned paper making sure that there was plenty leftover to add my journaling after.  A few extra small pieces complete the spread!

I hope these give you a bit of inspiration for your December documenting with the gorgeous Candy Cane Lane collection

Pinkfresh Studio December 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO DECEMBER 2022 STAMP, DIE, STENCIL, AND HOT FOIL RELEASE.   Today, we are celebrating all the new and gorgeous goodies with lots of inspiration and prizes.

So many new gorgeous stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil plates that are so perfect for all sorts of crafting.   Let me show you what I have created with some of the products:

I just love the new FLORAL BORDER HOT FOIL PLATE and its coordinating elements.  This was the base for my spread.

I used Aura Foil to create about five floral borders.  Then, I used the FLORAL BORDER STENCIL and a selection of Premium inks to color all the flowers.   I used the FLORAL BORDER DIE to cut out the borders.  

I used the new DETAILED LEAF STAMP to add a bit of interest to the background.  Then cut a few of the Floral Frames die cuts into smaller pieces and started to build a larger frame of flowers around the spread.   To finish, I framed the page with a patterned paper from the Delightful collection.

I added a few more embellishments around the spread, then it was all about the title.

The new LOVE YOU THE MOST HOT FOIL PLATE was just perfect to create the title for this page. A few enamel dots and one Small Butterfly complete the spread.

 I am sure that you are all making a list of all your favorites.  Be sure to check the new release, you are going to love it all.

HAPPY HARVEST - Doodlebug Design

 It is almost time to shift to the jolliest time of the year, but let's take a chance at one last project with the beautiful Farmer's Market  collection.

I started my page by creating the grid background for the page.  I cut a few of the patterned papers into 2.5" squares, and then attached them to the center of a Pettite Print paper.

I added a bit  of dimension to each of the squares and also hand drew a stitching line with white ink gel so that it brings more of quilted look to the grid. 

 

The pictures were backed with papers from the  6x6 paper pad, then placed in the center of the page.   I used a selection of embellishments to each side of the pictures to complement the story.

Just love all the beautiful pieces in this collection.  The little chicks are just so darling, and hard to pass up!

I am in love with the Farmer's Market  Chit Chat pieces, they were the perfect way to construct my title and add a few extra sentiments to the page.

I  hope that this gives you a bit of inspiration for your Fall layouts before we completely switch to the newest Christmas collection.

November 2022 Trailblazing Inks Release + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!) | Dye inks with a brand new look and adjusted formula Blog Hop Details

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW 2022 TRAILBLAZING INKS RELEASE + GIVEAWAY BLOG HOP. You are arriving from Emily Midgett's blog.  A list of all the hop participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today, the long awaited round ink pads from Altenew, are live; and the new color sets are just sublime.  The vibrant new ink pads are great and of excellent quality.   But, let's talk about the shape of the ink pads.... well, let me show you what I created with the new "round" ink pads...

As soon as the new Trailblazing ink pads arrived, I knew that  I wanted the colors and shape of them to be the background of my page.

I used all the new ink pads in this spread.    My idea was to create a grid of round colorful circles in the background of the  spread.  I used a ruler and a pencil to create ghost lines, then stamped the ink pads onto the cardstock.

Once I placed the title in the center of the page.  I used the Flower Delight bundle to create the embellishments for the page.  Black and white is the perfect complement to the color in the background.

To continue the shape of the stamped ink pads on the background; I trimmed my photos to circles and added them forming a triangle on the page.    I framed them each with some of the florals and small word phrase stickers.

I finished the spread with a few enamel dots.   Just love how this turned out, and it took no time to put together!!

Remember to check the new Trailblazing Ink Pad collection  in the Altenew shop.  You are going to love the new palettes and the round ink pads!

HELLO FALL - Doodlebug

 Fall is here! and we are loving all the leaves falling, the pumpkins, and all the bountiful harvest around. The new Farmer's Market collection is just perfect to bring those fun last visits to the local market before it closes for the winter.   

I wanted to combine lots of color and patterns in one spread. So, I cut strips of the 12x12 patterned papers and layered them from the top edge of the base.

Once the photos are in place it was all about embellishing the page.  Starting with the cute banners at the top of the page.   I love how this frames the picture nicely on the page.

I had so much fun playing with all the embellishments from the Farmer's Market collection.  I simply clustered them to the left and right of the pictures.

I had to add all those cute pumpkins  just like in the photos. There are so many little stickers that you can easily bring tons of details to the page.

The new Doodle Cuts "Hello Fall" is amazing.  I  used the word die to create part of my title. I simply cut it from two patterned papers, glued them together with a bit of an offset, then glued it to white cardstock. I used a pair of scissors to cut out the word -with a white shadow-from the cardstock.

I love how the spread turned out.  All full of color and Fall feel.  Remember to check the  Farmer's Market collection, you are going to love it all!

Doodle Cuts Hello Fall

PUMPKIN PATCH - Doodlebug Design

 Cannot believe we are in November already!  Fall is about to turn into Winter, but before we change into the merriest season of all.. let's get those Fall memories documented with the new Farmer's Market collection!

I wanted  to bring all the colors of the pictures together in the page.  So, I started by creating my background by combining strips of patterned paper from the collection.

I added a piece of white cardstock on the middle of the page  - this serves as background for my photos-.     The pictures were backed with paper from the 6x6 paper pad, then placed on the center of the page.

I am bringing all the color and texture of the background in the photo by adding the wooden fences at the bottom of the picture.   

The Chit Chat pieces are perfect to create titles and add sentiments for your projects.  Here, I placed two of the large words right below the fence pieces.  Then it was all about embellishing!

I pulled pieces from the Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, and even pulled a few Doodle Pops to bring as many pumpkins and color to my page.

I love how this turned out, be sure to check the new FARMER'S MARKET collection... You are going to love it all!

Altenew November 2022 Simply Scientific Stamps/Dies/Stencils Release + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW SIMPLY SCIENTIFIC STAMPS/DIES/STENCILS RELEASE  BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Karen Brown's blog.  A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

It is that time of the month, when we all ooh, and ahh over the new products that Altenew is releasing... There is so much to choose from, and it was an easy/hard choice to only select a few to work with.   Let me show you what I have created with my selection:

I fell in love with the new BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATIONS Stamp/Stencil/DieBundle. It is amazing!  I used the entire bundle to create the cover of my May Family Journal,

 

I colored the flowers, and die cut them separately.  This helped to create the dimension in the spread!!  Honestly, totally love the spread!

Another one of my favorites for the month is the ROSE BUDS Complete Bundle.  I love having the a way to create a background and embellishments in one step!

This new bundle is easy to work with, and the results are infinite... Just imagine all you can create with it!

Another one of my favorite sets from this year is the new DANCING SUNFLOWERS Complete Bundle.  I LOVE THIS SET!  

I used the DANCING SUNFLOWERS Complete Bundle to create the embellishments for this double pocket spread.  The blooms are large and detailed!!!

I paired the new DAISY TILES 3D Embossing Folder with the large Dancing Sunflowers in the small pocket in the spread.   I just love how easy this came together!

Finally, I am using the new  PINE FOREST Complete Bundle in this new card.   As soon as I saw the new stencil set, I quickly requested it as I love the matching embossing folder, and see all that I can create with it.

I used the Pocketful of Sunshine washi set and inks to bring an autumnal feel to the card.  I love how easy you can transform the embossed trees with just a bit of ink.

I am sure you are also trying to choose favorite products from this SIMPLY SCIENTIFIC Release.  There is so much goodness to choose from!!!
