SPLISH SPLASH FUN IN THE SUN - Doodlebug Design

It is the season of sunshine, beach, and fun!  And I am so glad that the beautiful Summer Fun collection is here to help me document all those fun and colorful memories with it.  I think all the fun designs and vibrant colors are just the perfect complement to our sun filled memories. Let me show you what I created: 

I  wanted a design that would bring your eyes to the photo but at the same time showcase the fun look of this collection. So, I set to construct a sunburst design for my page using different patterns from the collection.

I started by gluing half of the Water Babies paper to the bottom of the white cardstock from the Texture Cardstock Assortment, then selected a center point for the photo.  Once I marked the spot, then I pulled my 6x8 paper pad and started cutting some of the papers into triangular strips to fit on   the page.

I laid them on the page so that the triangular pieces start at the designed point on the page and cover the top part of the paper.   I made sure that the triangles fan out of the center point marked, lay flat on the page, and then trimmed the excess outside of the layout.

Once the sunburst design was complete, I set the photo onto  a piece of the Let's Luau paper and set it atop of the joining point of the papers.   Next, I mixed pieces from Chit Chat, This & That stickers, mini sticker icons, and icon stickers to create clusters at the top left and bottom right corners of the photo.

Once the title was set on place, I then needed to balance the page by adding a smaller cluster at the bottom of the page.  This time, I pulled some of the This & That stickers and added a few icon stickers to complete the page.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to pull your Summer Fun collection to document your fun filled memories.

SUMMER TIME - Doodllebug Design

The new Summer Fun collection is here, and I am so excited to get all those fun memories documented with this fun, colorful, and cute collection.  This collection is so easy to work with it pretty much made it so easy to put this layout together.

I wanted a design that will showcase that would showcase the patterned papers in this collection, and decided to use them to create  my background.

I started with one of the coordinating cardstock for the background of this spread.  Then used a combination of papers from the 6x8 Paper pad to build the triangles at the base of the page, then I cut pieces from Gull Friends and Let's Luau to create the top triangles on the layout.  I also added one of the scalloped edges to the top edges of the bottom triangles.

To make the photos showcase on the layout, I used patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad to create frames behind them.  I set them atop the bottom triangles using foam adhesive. A mix of Bits and Pieces, Chit Chat and stickers help  to create clusters at the corners of the photos.

To finish my layout, I used Chit Chat to create my title and tie the two sides of the layout together.  A few pops of color using Sprinkles just brings it all together.

I love how this turned out, and I hope  it inspires you to document your memories using the new Summer Fun collection,

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!!
