SWEET HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS - Doodlebug Design

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you look! So, let's get festive with the beautiful OH WHAT FUN collection and document your memories in style.   The colors, designs, and festive feeling of the collection if perfect for your holiday projects, and this time I am using it to document one of my family photos from 15 years ago (my kids were so little, and my niece was tiny).  Let's take a look at the project:

I love adding dimension and texture to my pages, so the idea of hanging banners helps to combine them both in a seamlessly while bringing a lot of interest to the page. 

I am using pieces of the Christmas Eve paper, Spruced up paper and 6x8 paper pad to create the banners for this spread.  I used a pencil to help me form the curl at the top of the banner before hanging them in place on the white cardstock from the coordinating cardstock pack.

I am using a pair of eyelets to help me  with the design of the page.  This was an easy way to run some Doodlebug thin twine.   I did a double loop, so the first holds the banners, then the other ties into a bow at the top of the banners on the left.

I am papers from the 6x8 paper pad to frame my photo.  Once I placed it on the spread, I used a combination of embellishments to create a cluster on the top left corner of the picture.  I used the bototm right corner of the photo for a place to add my title.  

To balance the page, I added one of the scalloped border stickers to the bottom of the page, and created a small cluster right below the banners.    To end the spread, I added a few Sprinkles around each of the clusters.  

I hope this inspires you to create with the fun OH WHAT FUN collection, you are going to love your projects!

It is starting to look a lot like Christmas around here!  That means time to dust past memories and get them documented with the new OH WHAT FUN collection.  The color palette, the cute designs, and the overall feel of the collection is just what you need to get your holiday memories documented in style.  Let's look at today's project:

I want to take advantage of the large tags in the Spot of Fun paper, as a means to frame my photos and bring a bit of movement to my page.  So, I trimmed two of them and added my photos to the front of each.

I reached for the Citrus Floral/Graph for the page background, then laid pieces of paper from the 6x8 paper pad, then added one of the scalloped borders from the This & That stickers to anchor everything to the page.

I then added the frames on a jaunty angle to the left side of the layout, so that they overlap each other.  The position brings them to a focal point in the layout and also set the placement of the title.

I added pieces of This & That stickers to the pictures just to bring a bit more of interest to each of the photos. Also, I used Limeade thin Twine to create bows with large tails at the top of the tags - the  ephemera piece was the inspiration for the long tails-

To finish the layout, I played with pieces of Chit Chat, Odds & Ends, Bits & Piece and Doodlepops to  create my title.  Then a added a few sprinkles to complete the spread!

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to check the new Oh What Fun collection

We are getting closer and closer to all things spooky and  fun!  So, today, I am going to share how I am using the colorful and beautiful Hey Pumpkin collection to create  a scrapbook layout that will hold my Goddaughters' photos for this year.  Let's take a look at the project:

I love graphic designs with straight and  repeating elements.  I played with them for this spread, and loved the weaved effect on the page.

I started by cutting strips from the Hey Pumpkin paper, then weaved them on top  of the Eek!paper. Once I secured them, I trim the paper to 11x11 and framed it with the Moonlight Magic paper.  The placement of the lines creates the perfect spot for everything else.

I am using papers from the 6x6 paper pad to frame the photos, and then added them to the top left corner of the layout.   The photos are on a slight angle so that they pop from the straight lines of the background.

I kept my embellishments subtle and added pieces from This & That , Odds & Ends to the corners of the photos.  There is so much already on the page that  works better to keep it simple this time.

To finish the page, I mixed Chit Chat with a few stickers at the bottom right corner of the page.  This helps balance the page as well as help with the design in the weaved paper strips.  A few sprinkles to add pops of color completes the spread.

I love how this turned  out, and I am ready to just add the photos come November 1st.  Be sure to take the pictures and then document them with the fun HEY PUMPKIN collection.
