CHRISTMAS - Doodlebug Design

Just one more day until we celebrate the jolliest season of the year!   I am sure that you are all ready to take the photos, eat the food, open the present, and make the memories.  So what better way to relive them than to document them with the fun and beautiful TINSEL TIME collection.   I pulled some past memories of my children for today's layout:

I just love how this layout came together using a simple design and all the embellishments that I could add here.

I started by framing a piece of the coordinating cardstock with the Berry Merry, and Tinsel Time papers. Next, I pulled pieces from the Odds & Ends pack to create the light garlands under the bell bough at the top of the page. 

I decided to back the photos with papers from the 6x6 pad, and then adhered to the base so that they sit right under the light strings.  I mixed diecuts from the Bits  & Pieces pack to create the large cluster to the right of the photos.

To complete the line of embellishments at the bottom of the photos, I added the cute reindeer Doodlepop to the left of the photos and then pulled a piece of Chit Chat to create my title.

A few Sprinkles around the embellishments complete this page.   I just love it! And I hope it gives you inspiration for your next crafty project featuring Tinsel Time!

I want to take this space to wish you all a blessed Christmas, and may 2025 be filled with joy and peace!

CHRISTMAS FAMILY MAGIC - Doodlebug

We are just a few weeks away from celebrating the jolliest time of the year!! So, what better way to patiently wait than to document past holiday memories with the new TINSEL TIME collection..   This collection is so cute, festive, and sparkly that it makes all your memories shine.   Here is what I have created with it

I wanted to bring some of the designs and shine onto my layout.    I simply pulled my 6x6 paper pad and got started on this page,

I used a metal die to create circle die cuts from papers from the 6x6 paper pad.  I wanted a smaller pattern in each of the circles, so they will read as a solid pattern for some of them.   Once I had the circles, I glued them to white cardstock then trimmed the page.   Creating a frame from the gray cardstock help to make all the details pop on the layout.

I used a grid style for my background.   I then placed my photo to the right of the center of my layout and  added just a few embellishments around it, so that the photo and the background will not compete for attention.

I added embellishments just to center rows of the layout, as I wanted to emphasize the line where the picture and title sit on the page.  A bit of foam adhesive and a few Doodlepops help to add texture to the page.  I also repeated the banner look of the title by scattering a few other ChitChat pieces on the page - a few Sprinkles help bring your eye to that detail-

I love the ChitChat pack in the Tinsel Time collection, it was just so easy to put the title work together.  I just added a few extra embellishments around it to make sure it pop from the page.

I love how this turned out, and I cannot wait to see what you will create with the new TINSEL TIME collection!

SWEET MEMORIES - Doodlebug Design

 Fall is the season of all things cozy and warm, so what better than fresh baked treats and all the sweet memories that come with it!  I love all the baking icons in the FARMHOUSE  collection, and wanted to use them to document my daughter's baking skills

I pulled all the icon in a simple and clean design with a small twist.

I started my page with a basic coordinating cardstock, and trimmed it to about 10.5", then decided to frame the page with  the Farmhouse paper (cut to 10.75"). I then decided to cut two of the corners of the Fall Floral paper, so that I could tuck the framed cardstock.

I backed my pictures with papers from the 6x6 paper pad, but decided to anchor them to the page with the large journaling card from the Woodland berries paper.

Did I mentioned that the inspiration for this page was all the baking/kitchen icons in the collection!  Well, I pulled a few Odds & Ends pieces and mixed them with some of the stickers to create two large clusters next to each of the photos.

For my title, I pulled a few pieces from the Chit Chat package, and set it below the photos.   I love the color and font of the title as it does not compete with all the color and details in the icons.

To finish the page, I added a few sprinkles around each of the clusters and all it needs is the journaling lines.  I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires your own creation with the beautiful FARMHOUSE collection.
