WINTER SNOW FUN - Doodlebug Design

Winter is here! And if you are in the northern hemisphere that means we are enjoying frigid temperatures and lots of the white fluffy snow. We living in Canada gives you an appreciation for all the seasons, especially the winter months! You learn to enjoy the snow and the time outdoors, so many memories made in the snow. So, I am using the super fun Let It Snow to document my littles (niece and nephew) during a snow day!

I started by hand stitching a few simple snowflakes to the b side of the Frosty Floral paper.   I wanted to bring the feel of falling snow to the page.  So, once I finished stitching, I splatter white ink on the page.

I added a few sprinkles to the center of each of the  hand stitched snowflake. The small pops of color bring the snowflakes to live!

I wanted to create a winter scene at the bottom of the page.  For this, I ripped a piece of the North Pole paper and set it at the bottom of the page. I then used the natural line of  the paper to set the pictures on the page.  I added a few Bits and Pieces  to the corners of the pictures just to enhance the sentiment of the layout.

I used pieces from the Odds and Ends, and Chit Chat to add more embellishments to the page.  All those fun phrases are perfect to create a title for the page. Just a few extra stickers, doodle pop pieces and extra sprinkles complete the page.

Love how this turned out.  Those snowmen are perfect in this page.  Remember to check the Let It Snow collection, you are going to love it!

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN - Doodlebug

 Now at the bustle and hustle of Christmas is over, it is time to get all those memories into your albums.   Today, I want to show you a fun a colorful idea featuring Let It Snow collection.

I started by adding a bit of color to the background.  I literally dragged an ink pad on the page, then soften the dragged lines with a wet brush.  While the background dried, I ripped a few pieces of two of the patterned paper in the collection.  I wanted  those edges to show on the page.

I fussy cut a few of the tags out, and used them a layers below the photo.   I simply started adding a few more embellishements around the photo and the tags.  I love Doodlepops, they are the perfect addition to any page.

I elongated the design by adding a few more embellishments on the top part of the photo.  These help balance the page, and create a soft anchor line for the page.

I chose the title from the Chit Chat pack as it reminded me of the location of this photo, the Santa Claus parade. The small Santa icon sticker is the right size for the title.  A few more embellishments and a bit of glimmer is all tahti i

I hope this inspires you to document your Christmas memories with the beautiful Let IT Snow collection.

HOLIDAY in the CITY - Let It Snow collection | Doodlebug Design

 And we are counting down the days until we can all gather to enjoy some time together whether at home or somewhere in the city, the Holidays are always better spent together.  The new Let It Snow collection was just perfect to document one of our past Holiday traditions...

The design in the Heartwarming paper was the inspiration for the page. I simply attached pieces of Paper Frills to an 8" square of cardstock, and attached it to the center of the page.

I backed my photo with papers from the 6x6 paper pad.  There are so many cute embellishments in this collection, it was so easy to cluster them together next to the photo,

I am a huge make-the-paper-work-for-you promoter, that means not being afraid to trim pieces off the embellishments to fit in your pages.  You will be surprised at how your scrapbooking mojo will fly if you just do so!  Just check the row of trees, I trimmed the sentiments out of it, and added it on my cluster.

I chose to create a large cluster of ephemera opposite the photo placement.  This helps to balance the page and create the perfect placement for a title.

I am loving the new Let It Snow collection, there are so many directions you can  take with it to help you document your memories.  Remember to check it out!
