GRATITUDE JOURNAL - Doodlebug Design

Fall is officially here -in the northern hemispher that is! Probably my favorite season as everything is so cozy and vibrant, and we get to celebrate major holidays. For us, here in Canada, Thanksgiving happens in October, that means my gratitude journal from last year needs to be completed before I start this year's album.   So what better way to get some of the last few entries completed with the beautiful Farmhouse collection.

I wanted to take advantage of the cut aparts in the Woodland Berries Paper to help me create my pages with ease and beautiful results.

 

My focus was the 3x8 journaling cards in the paper as they are the perfect size for my 6x8 album,but also provide plenty of room for story telling and a beatiful companion to my photos

I started with combining the design on the journaling card with papers for my layout.  I am using the Fall Floral paper to extend the card edge (it also helps with adding my perforations) to the edge next  to the Country Pumpkins paper.  I added my photo and uses Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, Odds & Ends, and  This & That stickers to add embellishments to the page.

For this entry, I am using the pool color in the design of the edge of the card to bring it all together.   THe color and tone on tone design in the Farmhouse paper create a great background for my photo, and helped to make all the details in the clusters pop nicely in the spread.

I added a second journaling card to the back of the previous spread to create the journaling insert for this spread, then combined with a pocket page layout.  The cards in the Colors of Fall paper are just perfect to complete the spread.

I hope this inspires you to pull your Farmhouse collection and get ready to document your Fall memories with it!

Fall is right around the corner, that means lots of cozy feelings, crisp air, and lots of memories.  So what better way to get started than creating a new project with the beautiful FARMER'S MARKET collection.  It has the perfect color combo and all the cute designs you need to document your orchard/farm/patch visits, and Fall.  Let me show you what I have created:

I wanted to take advantage of all the color in this collection to make the photos of my little one the focal point of the page.

I selected the Fall Berries paper as the base for my page.   Then it was all about playing with paper to create layers for my photos. For this, I am using papers from the 6x6 paper pad, as well as Veggie Sticks paper. These were cut to form horizontal strips on the page. Then, I backed my photos with papers from the 6x6 paper pad and set them on the page.

Next, I set florals from Bits and Pieces to create clusters to the left side of the photos.   I also added stickers from This & That and some Chit Chat pieces to complete the clusters.

I continued with the floral clusters, however used a smaller scaled  icons for the ones that sit on the right of the photo.  The stickers in the Icon Sticker sheet were the perfect size for this.  I added a few more pieces of ChitChat and Sprinkles to complete this.

To finish my page, I combine pieces from Chit Chat , This & That and one of the cute DoodlePops to create the title at the very bottom part of the layout.   A few Sprinkles scattered around the clusters help bring it all together.

I love how this turned out and I hope it inspires you to take out your Farmer's Market collection and get playing with it!!
