CREATE COLORFUL MEMORIES - Doodlebug Design

 Have you heard the phrase, "The Happiest Place in the World"?  Well, mine doesn't have an amusement park, instead is filled with paper, glue, paint, dinner plates and lots of pictures.  We are talking about my dining room table, aka my crafting table.  So what better way to document me in my happy place than using the gorgeous Cute & Crafty collection.

I started with the Bright Ideas paper as my background, and added a bit of color with inks and paint.   I chose a soft rainbow for the background colors.

I simply framed my photo with a 6x6 paper, then placed it on the right side of the page atop the mixed media.  Then it was all about using all the cute icons to embellish the page.

My idea was to at best color block the icons to the background.   There are so many details  in all the pieces, and it was hard to not choose all of them.

I used Chit Chat pieces and Abigail Alpha Stickers to complete the title,  and tied all the page together with a small cluster of flowers from the new Bits and Pieces set.  Don't you just love them all!!

The new Cute and Crafty collection is just perfect to document me at my happiest place!  Remember to document you at your happiest place, especially if it has pretty paper, photos, and glue around!

Traveler's Notebook layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - HELLO SWEET SUMMER -

Hi there,

Nathalie is back with you with a bit more inspiration using the new Scrapbook Nerd free cut file, Time to Shine.  This time, I chose to show you how the designs can be used in a different format such as a Traveler's Notebook.

  For this spread, the ice cream cone of the design was cut so that it fits within the limits of a page of the TN.   The shape was then backed with papers from Doodlebug designs Cream & Sugar and So Punny collections.

   To make the details of the cut-out pop, a piece of paper from Fancy Pants Joy Parade collection.  I chose to add the title of the page right onto the cut out using a combination of stickers and die cuts from both Doodlebug collections, and Pinkfresh Studio's The Mix 2  

  In order to balance the spread, I chose to layer pieces from the Chit Chat ephemera pack from the So PUnny collection from Doodlebug, and use some of the papers to back the picture.

  To ground the picture, I added a strip of the Fancy Pants design and a few more details from Paige Evans Stickers tablet.

   I love how this turned out, and now it is your turn to put the cut file to work in a project of your choice.   Stop by Scrapbook Nerd to pick a free copy of the cut file.

 Remember to tag @scrapbooknerdca whenever you are sharing projects created with the digital cut files on social media,  We would love to see what you do with the cut files.
