Pinkfresh Studio September 2023 Ink Release

 



Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO SEPTEMBER 2023 INK RELEASE Blog Hop.  Today, we are celebrating the new additions to the existing Pinkfresh Studio Ink family with lots of inspiration and prizes.   

I am in love with the cool color palette in this new addition, and decided to use it for today's project:



For  my layout, I pulled the Thanks For Being There Suite to create the flowers for my page, and  Waterfall, Begonia, Sheer Freesia, Spanish Moss, Sage for my flowers.




To keep the cool color palette of the page, I used the Nested Arches Die  to cut patterned papers from Sunshine On My Mind and Lovely Blooms for the background of the page. Then arranged the photos atop of the "pill" shaped papers.




I used all the florals to create two large clusters to the left and right of the photos.  Then added a few extra embellishments from the same collections to bring more sentiments to the page.





To finish my page, I added a few Metallic Gold Pearls around the page.  For my title, I  pulled a foiled sentiment and added at the bottom of the pictures.   Lastly, I used the same color inks and Botanicals and Butterflies Cling Stamp suite to create a  few butterflies scattered throughout the page.



I love how this turned out!   And I hope it inspires you to take a closer look at the new Ink Color additions.




Of course we are celebrating the release with a fabulous giveaway:

  • Pinkfresh is giving away a set of the new full size ink pads on their blog, and

HALLOWEEN - Doodlebug Design

 Hello there!  We are getting closer to celebrating another Halloween night, and making all those sweet and spooky memories.   Now that my kids are older, I love revisiting memories of Halloween past, and what better way to document them than using the new Sweet & Spooky collection.  Let's take a look.




Nothing says party more than rosettes! That was the starting point for this page.  I just love how the rosettes set the festive feel of the page.




For my page, I pleated `12x 1.5"strips of different papers from the Sweet & Spooky collection. My choice was to create a partial rosette, and then attach it to matching pieces of the same paper as to create arches of paper.




I overlapped the rosette paper arches when I attached them to the background ( I combined white cardstock with a strip of How Sweet It Is paper), then attached the photo to the center of the arches. It was all about embellishing the page from then on!




I started with a cluster of stickers at the top right corner of the page, then pulled a few Bits and Pieces (those little houses are too cute to  pass up!)and used them to elongate the design.




I pulled a few Chit Chat pieces and combined them with stickers to create  the title for the page. I used a few extra puffy stickers and Sprinkles to add small pops of interest and dimension  throughout the page.




I love how this page turned out!  I hope this inspires you to pull your Halloween memories and document them with the new Sweet & Spooky collection.

SPOOKTACULAR CREW - Doodlebug Design

Fall is here!  That means the holidays are coming, lots of memories to be had, and document especially with the new Doodlebug collections.   I am loving the new Sweet & Spooky collection, and though my kids are adults now, I am digging through my memories for some past Halloween pictures for my project with this collection.   Let's take a look at what I have created :





My starting point for this project was the new Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album.   I used the pieces of the album as a template to create my house from patterned papers from the collection.





I simply used a pencil to trace the pieces, then a craft knife to cut all the pieces.   It was fun to piece the house together for my layout.   I added a few extra puffy stickers, and sprinkles to give it a spooky feeling.   The trees in the Bits and Pieces package and sticker sheets  help to create the eerie feel of the home.




For my background, I am using white cardstock, however I am framing the entire page with Moonlight Magic paper.    Once I set the house in place, I then added the moon and clouds from the Bits and Pieces pack, and the  small puffy bat sticker.




I am using a piece of the Trick or Treat paper to anchor the page and photos to the layout.   This paper also helped with adding a few extra embellishments and the title of this layout (gotta love the Chit Chat pack!).  I added a few sprinkles and drops of black shimmer ink to finish the page.




I love how this turned out! and I am sure that you are all ready to start your Halloween documenting.  Be sure to check the new Sweet & Spooky collection... It is Spook-tacular!

GOOD COFFEE TIMES - Doodlebug Design

 Raise your hand if you love coffee as much as I do!  I can sincerely say that it is my favorite drink and addiction. So, imagine how happy I was to find all the coffee icons in the Hello Again collection, and used them to document my coffee routine.






I took advantage of the tags in the Just Because paper to create this page.  I cut 8 of the tags,  and  attached my pictures to some of them





I attached all the tags onto a Cupcake Floral/Grid Petite Print so they create a grid on the page.   I added a bit of Gray Doodle twine through the tags, so they are anchored to the page.  To finish the set up, I framed the page with the Forever Flowers paper.






It was all then about embellishing each of the tags.  First, I set the tags on alternate spots, then added pieces of Chit Chat and Bits and Pieces to the empty tags. The foiling just add that special touch to the page.





I am using Alphabet Soup Puffy Alpha Stickers and Puffy Stickers to number each of the coffee cups in  their corresponding order.  I added a few gems to the tags that do not have photos in them!




To complete the page, I once again mixed Bits and Pieces, Chit Chat, and Alpha Stickers to create my title at the bottom of the page.  A few extra sprinkles complete the page.





I love how this turned out! My coffee cup pictures truly shine with all the beautiful patterns and colors from the gorgeous Hello Again collection.  Be sure to check it out!

HELLO YOU & ME - Doodlebug Design

 I am sure that all of you are also loving the new HELLO AGAIN collection!  It is just so perfect for all sorts of  projects and memory keeping layouts.  Today, I decided to go for a clean and simple design for this layout.




I pulled my Doodle cuts Nesting Scallops to build this layout.  I wanted to add a bit of movement and bring a combination of patterns to the page.



I cut a few of the scallops from the 6x6 paper pad, as well as white cardstock.  I used the negative parts of the cuts to create the center of the scallops.   I also used the negative piece of the white cardstock cuts to frame my photo.




I set the scalloped die cuts on a piece of Petite Print paper as if they are cascading from the top of the page.  Foam adhesive helped me to construct the scallop formation.  Then it was all about embellishing the scalloped circles with a variety of elements from the collection.



 I set the title to the right of the photo.  I am using a mixture of Chit Chat, Alphabet Soup, and Doodle Pops to complete this.   A touch of gold and shimmer is always a nice addition!



I love how this turned out!  The new Hello Again collection will sure have you inspired!

LOVE YOU - Doodlebug Design

 I am loving the new HELLO AGAIN collection!  It is the most perfect collection for document all your memories with a touch of Doodlebug cuteness, and shine!  Plus, literally, it is so easy to use that constructing this scrapbook layout took no time!




I just love the pops of color that frame my photo perfectly, and all those butterflies!!  




I started by creating all the banners for my page from 12x12 patterned papers from the collection.  The colors and patterns are so well balanced, that it was so easy to mix and match them for my banners.   These were attached to the base (Petite Print) as if they are cascading from the top left side of the  page.




I decided to set my photo on the left side of the banners, and then created small clusters of embellishments along the diagonal line of the layout.  Starting with the top left corner of the photo then working to the bottom right corner of the page.



    


I used a mix of Chit Chat, Bits and Pieces, Doodle Pops, and Sprinkles to create the title for my page.   The gold foiling in all the pieces adds a touch of elegance to  the page, you don't need a lot of product to complete your page.




I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to check all the gorgeousness of the new HELLO AGAIN collection, you are going to love it all!

YOU MAKE ME SMILE _ Doodlebug Design

 The new HELLO AGAIN collection is in the house! and I am loving each and every little piece of it!   There is something extra especial about cuteness with a touch of gold!!!  It is so easy to work with this collection, and the results are just as beautiful




Don't you just love the colors and beautiful butterflies!  They are the perfect addiction to the page. 




I started by adding a few strips of patterned paper to the background.  I even pulled some of the new washi tape and white cardstock to create a paper strip. I set them on the center of the page.




I fussy cut the wreath from the 6x6 paper pad, and set it atop the paper strips.   I then adhere the pictures to the side of the wreath.  Then it was all about mixing pieces from the collection to embellish the page.



Chit Chat pack is always a good starting point for a title.  This time I mixed the sentiment with a few more floral embellishments  and then scattered butterflies to finish the page! 




I just love how this turned out, and how easily it came together with the new HELLO AGAIN Collection.  I cannot wait to see what you create with this collectio

XO!

MY GIRL - Doodlebug Design

 Aren't we all loving the new Petite Prints collection?  The rainbow of opportunities with it is just infinite, which makes it easy to pick a palette to suit your design.   Let me show you what I have created




The contrast of the pink walls against the blue dress was the starting point for my page.  After narrowing my color palette to these colors, I added a pop of green and got started.





I used a hexagon die to cut a few of the 6x6 Petite Print papers for the background of my page.   I punched the holes, and tied them to a 8.5x11 white cardstock base using coordinating Doodle Twine.  Then,  I matted the cardstock on Cupcake candy stripe/dot paper.





Next, I pulled my DoodleCuts Hello Fall die set and cut a few flowers that matched the colors of the papers I am using.  I combine this with pieces from Love Notes to create the clusters in each hexagon.





To finish the page, I added a few stickers from Love Notes around the clusters, and created a larger cluster of flowers around the photo. I am using the new puffy alphas to add the title under the photo.





Lastly, I added a few puffy shapes around the hexagons, and it is ready for some journaling!  I just love how easily this  came together using Petite Prints.   I cannot wait to see what you create with  them, too!
