SO HAPPY TOGETHER _ Doodlebug Designs

 February is here! And that means all things sweet and lovely are around us.  So what better way to document those loving memories with the beautiful LOTS OF LOVE Collection.  I love the colors in this collection, and play with a fun idea for this layout

I wanted something that was going to show contrast on the page.  So, I cut a half circle from the Hugs & Kisses paper, then folded the cut down to create the flap on the page.

To create the contrast, I cut a circle of  the same size from the teal paper, and glued it to the flap.  I  then added two eyelets to bottom of the flap, and used Doodle Twine  to hold hold the flap together.  Those cute snails from the Doodlepops were the perfect addition at the end of the twine.

I used Petite Prints to back the empty space, then framed the layout with the teal cardstock from the texture cardstock coordinating set.

I set my photos to the left of the empty half circle - these were framed with a paper from the 6x6 paper pad-.  Then it was all about embellishing... I took advantage of it all to create a cluster to the right of the photos, so that they curl into the flap.

Next, I created a cluster at the left side of the flap.  Here, I added my title using a piece of Chit Chat and a few extra embellishments.

A few enamel dots, and the small flower garland at the bottom of the flap complete this page.  I love how it all turned out!!  Remember to check the LOTS OF LOVE collection!!

HELLO WINTER - Doodlebug Design

The Winter weather here in Canada is truly showing off! And though we love snow, we are happy to be indoors  playing the beautiful SNOW MUCH FUN COLLECTION to document  a few memories of snowy, but not so cold days!  Let me show you what I have created.

My baby loves fresh snow, and I wanted to take advantage of all the colors and patters in the collection to bring a layered look to the page.

I started by cutting paper strips from the 6x6 paper pad and layering on white textured cardstock.  My idea was of snowflakes falling, so why not paper layers!!  I simply drew a line on the cardstock, then glued the top row of paper strips, then kept tucking strips under them until they formed this paper cascade.   I added one of the scalloped border stickers to the starting point of the paper strips as a way to anchor them and the photos to the page.

I added two photos of my little one at the top of the scalloped border.  A bit of an offset helps to bring extra embellishments and sentiments to the page.   I love all the embellishments in this collection, so it was easy to put this together.

I set the title of the page to the left of the photos.   I loved the trees, especially since my baby is outdoors.  So, I pulled a few Bits and Pieces and mixed them with a Chit Chat piece for the title.  I then started adding a few snowflakes to each of the major clusters in the page,

I addded a smaller cluster of stickers at the bottom right corner of the page in hopes to balance the page, and also add a bit extra interest.    To finish the page, I added Sparkles to the center of each of the snowflake stickers. All I need are a few journal lines and voila!

I just love how this turned out!  The SNOW MUCH FUN COLLECTION is sure to bring those warm happy feelings to your cold winter day memories!

WINTER WONDERLAND - Doodlebug Design

Happy New Year!  It is officially Winter here in Canada, that means we are in for lots of cold temperatures, cozy clothing, and snow!   So, the new SNOW MUCH FUN collection is just perfect to document the many memories we will be making during the next 4-5 months!   Let me show you my first project with the collection...

I just love the color palette in this collection, and pulled a picture of my nephew all covered in snow after an afternoon of sledding on his driveway!

I started my page with a bit of mixed media on the background (just some ink blending with splatters of ink and shimmering watercolor to match the papers).   While the background dried, I ripped large strips from the Ice Crystals and Snow Much Fun papers, so that I can attach them to the top of the page.

Next, I backed the photo with a paper from the 6x6 paper pad, and adhere it to a few more layers (from the Odds and Ends pack, and Freeze Tag paper).   I made sure to place the photo to the right side of the page, on top  of the mixed media section on the background,  I brought a few of the snowflakes (from all the embellishments in the collection) to create a cascade of  them from the top to bottom of the page.

I love the Chit Chat sentiments, they made it so easy to create a title for my page.  A few extra snowflakes from the puffy stickers and some extra shimmer watercolor  splatters complete the page.

Just love how this turned out,  it is just winter perfection.   Be sure to check the new SNOW MUCH FUN collection, and share with us what you create with it!
