GHOUL FRIENDS - Doodlebug Design

 Halloween is just a few days!  Time to get ready to celebrate and document all those fun and spooky activities with the beautiful HEY PUMPKIN collection.   I love the fun designs and colors from this collection, and were perfect to document this story.

Can you believe that I only used my 6x6 paper pad to create this layout!  I wanted to play with circles, and having a smaller patterned was just what I need it to make the photo pop on the page.

I started by trimming the stripe paper into two 6x3" strips and set them on the gray cardstock so they lay from left to right edges.  However, I set them so they are about 1" higher on the right side of the page.  

Next it was all about the circles.  I simply cut  a few circles (with a metal die) from the 6x6 paper pad.  i layered a few of them with a second circle to create a frame like idea, and also to  minimize the patterns on the page.   I set them in a zig zag motion down the page.   Then placed the photo atop the two paper strips.

Then it was all about embellishing, I pulled pieces from the Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, to add interest to the circles.  I added stickers, puffy stickers and Doodle pops as I worked down the page.  For the title, I reached for large Chit Chat words and added extra puffy stickers to bring it all together.

I love how this layout came together so easily.  I cannot wait to see all your Halloween papercrafting.  Remember to check the HEY PUMPKIN collection!

HALLOWEEN - Doodlebug Design

We  are getting closer and closer to Halloween!! And though my kids -now adults- are no longer enjoying the night, I have little cousins who are eagerly waiting for all the fun.  What better way to document their little smiles than using the fun HEY PUMPKIN collection for this layout

You are going to be surprised to know that this page came together using leftover pieces of patterned paper!  I love using every inch of paper in my projects!

I trimmed two corners pieces from the Hey Pumpkin paper.  I carefully -using a craft knife- sliced a few lines between some of the color strips to just one of the corners  - I had measured and marked where I wanted to insert the paper, so I knew exactly where to create the slits-

Once I adhere the non-cut corner to the page.  I carefully weaved the piece of Peek-A-Boo paper through the slits before gluing it all the background.   Next, I backed the photo with patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad, and adhere to my page.  I took advantage of all the little ghosts in the collection to bring movement and extra cuteness to my page.

I had a large space to the left of the black mat, which became the perfect spot to add my title.  I capped the title with a large piece of Odds & Ends and sentiments from Chit Chat and the sticker sheet.  I added a few stars and spiders Sprinkles throughout the page to bring it all together.

I love how this turned out!  The perfect layout for those smiling faces.  I hope you, too, are using the beautiful and fun HEY PUMPKIN collection in your projects!

HALLOWEEN SWEET & SPOOKY - Doodlebug Design

It is time to get all those sweet & spooky memories captured and documented!  And what better way to do it than with the fun and colorful HEY PUMPKIN collection.   The colors and designs in the collection are just so cute, it was so easy to bring this layout together.

A grid design is always a great way to get pages created quickly and with amazing results.  My inspiration for the design was the 3x4 cards in the Sabrina's Socks paper.

I trimmed the cards from the paper, and using a craft knife took the center of them, so that leftover piece reminded me of frames.   I backed 3 of them with the white spiderweb paper from the 6x6 paper pad, and set them on a piece of light gray cardstock.

I used the fourth card/frame to house my photo, and set it in the top right corner of my grid.  I love the florals in the Odds+Ends pack , and used them to embellish my frames.  I am also using stickers from Icon sticker sheet to bring more embellishments to two of the frames, while leaving the last one empty for the journaling.

I decided to mix pieces from the Chit Chat pack to create my title at the bottom of the grid.   I then went around the grid adding Sprinkles and a few extra puffy black spiders to tie all the frames together.

To finish my page, I created two borders from the Peek-A-Boo paper, set them to the side of the cardstock, then glued it all to the Hey Pumpkin paper.  I love how it all turned out!  Be sure to check the HEY PUMPKIN collection.
