SWEET MEMORIES - Doodlebug Design

 Fall is the season of all things cozy and warm, so what better than fresh baked treats and all the sweet memories that come with it!  I love all the baking icons in the FARMHOUSE  collection, and wanted to use them to document my daughter's baking skills




I pulled all the icon in a simple and clean design with a small twist.




I started my page with a basic coordinating cardstock, and trimmed it to about 10.5", then decided to frame the page with  the Farmhouse paper (cut to 10.75"). I then decided to cut two of the corners of the Fall Floral paper, so that I could tuck the framed cardstock.




I backed my pictures with papers from the 6x6 paper pad, but decided to anchor them to the page with the large journaling card from the Woodland berries paper.




Did I mentioned that the inspiration for this page was all the baking/kitchen icons in the collection!  Well, I pulled a few Odds & Ends pieces and mixed them with some of the stickers to create two large clusters next to each of the photos.




For my title, I pulled a few pieces from the Chit Chat package, and set it below the photos.   I love the color and font of the title as it does not compete with all the color and details in the icons.




To finish the page, I added a few sprinkles around each of the clusters and all it needs is the journaling lines.  I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires your own creation with the beautiful FARMHOUSE collection.

FRESH FARM PUMPKINS - Doodlebug Design

 We are diving into the coziest and loveliest season of the year, Autumn! So many memories to be made and documented during this season, and what better way than to use the new FARMHOUSE collection to create keepsakes with it.   I love the colors and designs in this collection, and was perfect to document this fun picture of my nephew at the farm




I wanted to use all those cute little pumpkins for this layout, while  still keeping it fresh and masculine.




I started by creating a cluster of paper strips from the 12x12 patterned paper  and 6x6 paper pad.  I adhered them to the light brown  color cardstock from the coordinating set.




Once, I placed my photo, I quickly added a few pieces from the Chit Chat pack and sticker sheet. I wanted just a small cluster at the top left corner of the picture.




Next, I added pumpkins from the Odds and Ends and Bits & Pieces pack along the bottom edge of the photo, so that they form sort of horizontal strip with the photo,




I combined pieces from the Chit Chat pack to create the title for my page.  I added a few more pumpkins to help me elongate the design and give the title a grounding spot on my page.  I took advantage of the smaller pieces from the Icons Sticker sheet to bring a few final touches to my page.




I love how this page turned out, and I hope it inspires you to take a closer look at the new FARMHOUSE collection. You will love it!
