HAPPY TOGETHER - Doodlebug Design

I am sure you are all loving all the sweet inspiration from the beautiful Berry Sweet collection. It truly is such a cute and versatile collection that it is easy to use it to document your memories.  Here is my latest layout featuring the collection.

I just love the color palette and designs in this collection, and I wanted to showcase them in a sweet way that reminded me of freshness and summer.

The design in the Strawberry Stripe paper reminded me of lace strips, so what better way to bring a home feel than to weave them into my spread. I trimmed the stripes, and then carefully cut slits on the cardstock to create the weaved effect on the background.  Then, I trimmed the page and framed it with the Berry Sweet paper.

I backed my photo with papers from the 6x8 paper pad, and set it on the center of the page. I added just a few extra embellishments to diagonal corners of the photo making sure that elements repeated while keeping  clean and simple so that the background wouldn't get lost,

To finish my page, I mixed pieces to create the title at the bottom of the page. I used the cute little birds as a way to tie all the pieces on the page together.   A few scattering of sprinkles complete the page.

I just love how it turned out, and I hope it inspires you to pull your Berry Sweet collection and create a cute little project.

SWEET GIRL - Doodlebug Design

We are all so in love with the new Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug. It is such a perfect and small collection for all those lovely memories.    The sweet details and all the things berry gave the perfect vessel to document my daughter's Pastry Chef journey. Let me show you what I have created:

I wanted to create a fun design for the page, and decided on creating a focal point for the layout using patterned paper anda jaunty angle.

I started by cutting the red with white polkadots paper from the 6x8 paper pad into two triangles.   Then decided to add a layer under them using the Strawberry Stripe paper.  These were glued to opposite corners of the base, providing the perfect spot for the photo and embellishments.

I backed the photos with a paper from the 6x8 paper pad, and added a piece of the scalloped border below the photos before gluing it to the base.  I created a cluster of embellishments at the top right corner of the photos.  The berry theme made it easy to put together pieces into a cluster.

I took advantage of the angle the papers created to add my title to the page.  I also added extra embellishments to bulk up the title cluster.   To finish the spread, I added a few Sprinkles throughout the clusters to bring it all together.

I love how this turned out, and I hope you give the new Berry Sweet collection a try, you are going to love it!

HAPPY MEMORIES - Doodlebug Design

I think we are all crushing over the beautiful Butterfly Kisses collection!  It is such a beautiful combination of color, design, sentiments, and all those lovely butterflies.  It is so perfect to document all sorts of memories; so, today I am using it to create this layout:

I had an idea on how I wanted this page to look, and pretty much it came as I had    dreamed it.   A selection of papers -with a twist-, a large photo, butterflies and color.

I started by cutting strips of papers from the 6x8 paper pad, and also the 12x12 papers.  I made sure that I had a combination of pattern and solid in all of them.  Then using a thin straw, I started rolling the ends of the strips -the look is that of papers unrolling from the left to right of the page-.   I then attached them to the coordinating cardstock so that they overlapped on the page,

I backed my photo with a paper from the 6x8 paper pad, and adhere it to the left of the paper strips (the unrolled end of them).   I decided to create clusters on the page so that the flow of the layout follows the paper rolls, that meant adding a flowers cluster at the top right corner of  the photo, and at the bottom of the paper rolls.

To finish my layout, I added a combination of stickers, Chit Chat, Odds & Ends, and Puffy Word stickers to create my title.  I had to bring texture and extra movement to the page, so I added some butterflies and hand stitched trails around them to make sure that they pop, too.

I just love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to create with the beautiful Butterfly Kisses collection.
