Fun with the Bella Blvd Florence Alphabet!

Good day, friends! Today's layout is all about featuring the super cool Bella Blvd Florence Alphabet Stickers. Since it is summertime here, I also grabbed the amazingly colorful Squeeze the Day collection. I had so much fun putting together this fun and fruity layout! 
I first used the Bella Blvd Strawberries Cut File to create a super fun background for my page. Once the berries were cut out I backed the white cardstock with a sheet of the Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dot Patterned Paper in Peep. I love how the pink strawberry background turned out. I then used the Bella Blvd Bananas Cut File to create an anchoring banana shape for the first part of my title. Here I used the Florence Alphabet Stickers in Gulf.
I then used some more fun Florence Alphabet Stickers in Bell Pepper on a couple of the ephemera watermelon die cut pieces to create the rest of my title. The Florence Alphabet Stickers are the perfect size for putting on die cut shapes!
 I had a blast mixing the Squeeze the Day collection with the amazing Florence Alphabet Stickers! And I love all of the fruity goodness that made it on to my page here. I can't decide which fruit piece is my favorite, can you?
Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to grab the Florence Alphabet Stickers and the Squeeze the Day collection for your next project!

All American Cuties Layout!

If you asked me what my favorite Doodlebug Design collection is, I would have a difficult time choosing because they are all so great! If you asked me what my favorite collection is right now, I'd say the Land That I Love collection! I knew it was a great collection when I first saw it, but I love it even more after creating with it! 

I started this layout by using the star from the Doodlebug Design Lots O' Luck Lucky Shapes Cut File to create a background pattern in my Silhouette software. I simply resized the star to about 1/4" and copy and pasted them randomly in the software. I didn't really worry too much about placement and just had fun scattering them around the page. I then used white cardstock to cut out the background and backed my page with blue and red Land That I Love patterned papers. 

Right away I knew I definitely wanted to use some of the Summer Celebration (fireworks) Patterned Paper! I used Odds & Ends Ephemera and Mini Icons Stickers to embellish above the photo. I love adding Sprinkles epoxy shapes to the die cuts for a little extra dimension.  

And I love that I was able to die cut the perfect oval tag for placing the rest of my title using the Doodle Cuts Mini Tags Dies. I was able to easily create a layered tag by cutting tags out of both blue and aqua papers. The tags have a 'stitched line' border that is die cut in to the tag. I simply just hand cut the excess off the blue tag following this border and adhered it on to the aqua one.  And OF COURSE I had to include the brand new Sunshine Alphabet Stickers on my page. To say that I love these alphabet stickers is an understatemen! 

You can see here the stitch marks on the dies and some more examples. The cute little tag possibilities are endless with the Doodle Cuts Mini Tags Set! 


The Land That I Love collection is the perfect mix of red, white, blue, aqua, and adorable graphics. Aren't the little red firecracker and blue popsicle just the cutest?! I hope you love this collection as much as I do! 

Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!

Bella Blvd Fireworks and Freedom!

Since the 4th of July is right around the corner, I pulled out the adorable Bella Blvd Fireworks & Freedom collection! I love this collection's patriotic mix of colors and the star and fireworks graphics. It was perfect for documenting this photo of my nieces wearing their favorite red, white, and blue shirts. Come take a look!

I used the super fun Bella Blvd Firework Cut File and some Fireworks & Freedom patterned papers to create my own little fireworks display down the side of the page. I embellished some of them with chipboard pieces. I love how the chipboard pops!

Eeek! Aren't these fireworks displays just so much fun?! I embellished them with chipboard pieces, ephemera pieces, and puffy stars. I love the dimension the embellishments add on top of the die cut fireworks displays!

I anchored my photo spot with various patterned papers from the collection. I then embellished my photo with the glass jar ephemera piece, Doohickey Stickers, and chipboard pieces. How cool is that large floral patterned chipboard 'freedom' title?! 

Thank you for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to grab the Fireworks & Freedom collection for your next project. Have a great day!
