THE SWEET LIFE - Doodlebug Designs

We are so loving the new Bee Happy collection! It is just the perfect combination of color and cute designs which are perfect to document your all your memories especially those sweet Summer filled ones.   Let me show you what I have created for today.

I wanted to take advantage of the designs and colors in the papers to bring the story forward.   That led me to using strips of a few papers to build my page.

I started by trimming a circle out of white cardstock, then trimmed papers from the 6x8 paper pad into 1" strips.  These were layered at the lower half of the circle  in a random patterned - just making sure that all the colors and patterns balanced- then trimmed at the edges to keep the shape of the circle in place.

I decided to glue the circle to one of coordinating solid cardstock pages.  Once in place, I set the picture on the right side of upper half of the circle.  I added a small embellishment cluster at the top right corner of the picture, and also below the bottom edge of the photo.   I kept the clusters simple as there is a lot of interest already showcased in the paper layers.

I mixed pieces of the ephemera and some stickers to create the title to the left of the photo. I wanted something large that will not hide the shape of  background.  Once those were in place, then it was all about adding extra movement to the page, so I pulled a few of the puffy stickers, Doodlepops, and Sprinkles- all of those cute bees- and scattered them through the page.  I used a white marker to add the dotted lines to the page.

I decided to frame the layout with the small floral patterned than added a few enamel dots throughout the page. I love how it turned out, and I hope it inspires you to get creating with the beautiful Bee Happy collection!!
