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.
