LUCKY ME - Doodlebug Design

I am loving the new LUCKY ME collection,  all the color, all the cute designs, and the sentiments are just so perfect to document those especial memories. So, I took a few pictures from my littlest cousins for this layout

I love geometric patterns, and the rainbow stripes are just a great way to bring attention to areas of the layout.  So, I cut some from the 6x8 paper pad and then lined them up to create chevrons on my White cardstock.

I set my photos ( I framed these with papers from the 6x8 paper pad) at the center area where all the chevrons point to, making them the focus of my layout.  I needed just a few embellishments to bring sentiment and color to them.

I balanced the position of the pictures by adding embellishments to each of the corners of the pictures.  This  helps with making the page balanced even when the photos are only on one area of the layout. 

I wanted to accent the diagonal lines in the layout, so I am using them to position my title.   The key was to find the right fit so that it all fits on the one line and is large enough to balance the other side of the spread.  I then used Sprinkles to create a guiding line to the center to the chevrons.

I love how this  turned out!  I hope this inspires you to get crafty with your LUCKY ME collection, I cannot wait to see what you will create with it!

LIFE MEMORIES - Doodlebug Design

Who is wishing for the weather to change and start to warm up just a bit.  Unfortunately it is going to take a little bit longer here in Canada, that means time indoors to work on crafty projects using the new LUCKY ME Collection.  Oh the colors, designs, icons, and overall happy feeling is just what you will need to bring some cheer to your life.

I  wanted color for this spread and to use the icons in an everyday memory.   So, a simple design was the way to go!

I started with the Limeade Gingham-Linen Petite Print  paper for the background of my page, then cut a strip of the My Lucky Charm paper and added to the center of the paper.    In order to frame the photos, I pulled the frame paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad (I fussy cut the sun and cloud from it), then added another piece from the same pad to cover the image on the paper.

I framed the photos with a papers from the 6x8 paper pad, then placed them on the layout.  Then it was all about embellishing.  I used the fussy cut sun to start a line of embellishments from the top to the bottom of the photos.    

To create my title, I mixed some pieces of ephemera and added some of the sticker icons to the left and right of the title so that the photos are anchored to the page. I loved how the icons fit the photos just right!

To balance the page I combined pieces from the Mini Icons stickers and Ephemera at the bottom edge of the page.   This makes the page centered and cohesive.  All I needed were just a few more pops of color using Sprinkles around the major clusters on the page.

I love how this turned out.  The colors and icons make it all pop nicely!  I cannot wait to see what you can create with the new LUCKY ME collection.

SMALL FORMAT SCRAPBOOKING - Doodlebug Design

We are in a deep freeze here in Toronto, Canada!  I think this is one of the most snowiest and coldest Winters I have survived, so being indoors gives me time to take some time to document some of my snow stories with the fun SNOW MUCH FUN collection in my family 6x8 album.  Let me show you what I have created.

I loved working with a single collection to create quick and fun layouts, as the papers all work nicely together, it makes it so easy to mix and match patterns and embellishments.

 

  

I started with  white cardstock from the Textured Cardstock coordinating collection.   The 6x6 paper pad was the right side paper to create the corned designs in the layout.   Once, I had the corners in place, I used one of the papers to frame my photo, and placed in the top left quarter of the page, and added a cluster to the top left corner of the photo.  To balance the page, I added a large title in the bottom right corner of the layout, all I need is my journaling.

 

I started this layout with  a base from the Frozen Flurry patterned paper, then used the 6x6 paper pad and stickers to create the top and bottom borders.  Next, I pulled all the clouds from the embellishment packs and adhere them at the top of the page.  Next, I added a few snowflakes to create a snowy scene for the page. 

For my last spread, I opted for a pocket page taking advantage of the cut aparts in the Cold Streak patterned paper.   I am using one of the 3x8 cards to create my journaling card, just added a large piece from Odds and Ends to cover the art in the card. 

I used one of the 3x4 journaling cards in the Cold Streak paper to frame one of the photos, then built tha 4x6 card using  6x6 paper pad papers and different embellishments.  I loved how this turned out, and how easy they came together with tthe Snow Much Fun collection,

I hope this inspires you to pulled the collection to create a project of your own!
