HELLO WINTER - Doodlebug Design

Winter has arrived here in Canada, the cold weather, the snow, the short days are some of my favorite things.   The SNOW MUCH FUN collection is just perfect to document your winter activities and memories.  The fun designs, icons, and overall feel of the collection makes it for a vibrant final product.  Let me show you what I have created:

I wanted to bring some of the details in the photo to the layout, so my choice was to create a frame within the page for this project.

I started by cutting by trimming the Frosted Friends paper to 11'' square, then a large circle from the center of it.   To create dimension and help with my design, I am adding foam adhesive behind the circle frame before adding it to the Ice Crystals paper.  But before finally attaching the frame, I backed the circle with white cardstock and cut papers from the 6x6 paper pad into waves and overlap them at the bottom of the circle.  A bit of foam adhesive helps to create the waves.

Next, I added a few trees from the Sticker icons to the top of the hills,   I added a few more icons to bring more interest to the layout.   I made sure to play with the dimension of the pieces, so that they had a relative size to the hills.

I used a contrasting paper from the 6x6 paper pad to frame the photo, then place it to the right of the circle atop the hills. Just a few extra stickers it was all it needed as there is so much interest every where else on the page.

To finish my page, I mixed pieces of Chit Chat and place it on the opposite side of the photo.  I added one of the Doodlepops to the left of the title, then added puffy stickers, to the inside of the frame.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it gives you some ideas to use the beautiful SNOW MUCH FUN collection 

Have a Happy New Year!!

DECEMBER DOCUMENTED _ Doodlebug Design

I  am slowly making a dent in past December Documented albums.  Yes, there are still dates that have yet to be filled, and I love the colors and designs in the Oh What Fun collection.   I had so much fun working on bringing my memories to live in my 6x8 album, let's take a look:

I love how these came together so easily with a just a few combinations of papers and embellishments.  Sometimes all you need are simple designs to get it all together.

I started with this double spread that focuses on displaying the photos on the vertical lines of the spread tying them together with the same patterned paper - All Spruced Up-

 

I am using one of the papers from the 6x8 paper pad for the background of my page.  A tied white twine around the page, and used it to hang the photo on it.   I added pieces from the collection along the string to bring it all together.    A simple tile combining tags from Odds & Ends pack and Puffy Alpha stickers, complete the spread.

For this page, I am taking a advantage of the cards in the MErry Magic to crearte a pocket for my story.  I made sure my photos fit inside the card, then adehere to a piece of Spruce Up patterned paper.  Then adhere the card to the paper to create a pocket for my journaling card.

I am using the back of the previous spread to create this story.  I collaged my photos into a grid, and printed them together.  A simple title and the puffy stickers is all you need to embellish them.

I am using a piece of Pistachio Floral-Grid Petite print to creat my journaling spot.  Once again  a combination of Stickers and Bits & Pieces help bring focus and sentiment to the page.

I love how these turned out using the Oh What Fun Collection for my December Documented 6x8 Cupcake album.  Hopefully they inspire you to get crafty with it!

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!
