Big Egg Hunt

 I had so much fun creating this Spring themed layout using the new Bella Blvd cut files and the Plaids & Dotty and Wish Big Girl collections! All of the bright colors and flowers definitely make me happy and so ready for Spring! 

 I used the Bella Blvd Wish Big cut file for my title. I erased the 'wish' part in my cut file software and then enlarged the 'big'. I cut out 'big' from two different patterned papers and layered one on top of the other with foam adhesive to really make it pop. I wanted to really express that it was a big egg hunt because there were 50,000 plastic eggs to be hunted! I finished the title with the Bella Blvd Wonky Puffy Alphabet Stickers. I also used the Bella Blvd Frog cut file to cut out this cute little frog guy. Isn't he adorable?

The die cut bird and flower pieces from the Wish Big Girl collection make perfect springtime embellishments! And I love the color and detail that the Word Salad quote stickers add! 

I pulled this sweet little chipboard butterfly from the Bug Explorer collection. All of the enamel dots are from the Heart Hugs packs. I love the detail they add!

Thank you for joining me today. I hope I have inspired you to create a BIG (pun intended) title on your next layout!

Fun Stamping with Doodlebug Design

Since Doodlebug Design released their adorable stamp sets, stamping on my layouts has been my new favorite technique. I had so much fun creating this colorful stamped rainbow to coordinate with the Simply Spring collection! The mix of flowers, cute insects, and spring colors in this collection make me so happy! Bring on spring!

Creating the rainbow was not only fun, but super easy! I used the Doodlebug Design Rainbow with Clouds cut file to first cut out all the arches of the rainbow from scrap paper. I then lined them up on my layout and traced each arch with a pencil. I then used the small flower from the Simply Spring Flower Girl Stamp set to stamp inside the arches. I gently erased the pencil lines when I was done.

All of the stamps in this stamp set are so very cute! I can't wait to use more of the images from this set. Once my rainbow was colored in, I embellished the page with an Odds & Ends cloud shape and sun shaped Doodle Pop.

I used fun pieces from the Odds & Ends pack, the Chit Chat pack, and Lilac Abigail Alphabet stickers to make the title. Of course I had to use some Bubblegum Doodle Twine as the string for my banner.

I finished the page with this adorable girl Odds & Ends die cut and May Flowers Doodle Pops. A lady bug from the Little Critters Sprinkles is taking a stroll in the girl's garden. 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to get creative with Doodlebug Design stamps on your next layout or project!

Lucky Me with Doodlebug Design

As soon as I heard Doodlebug Design was making stamp sets, I couldn't wait to use them with the Lots O' Luck collection! I would consider myself a beginner stamper, so I started with the simple concept of just making a background by repeating the cloud image. The stamps were SO EASY to use and I love the way my background turned out. I can't wait to use the Doodlebug stamps on my next project! 

My favorite paper in this collection is the Irish Lad (green plaid) patterned paper so I used it as my layout base. I layered a number of different patterned papers to create a nice anchor for the photo of my sister and I. I then used the Doodlebug Lots O' Luck Rainbow with Clouds cut file to create my fun rainbow using the Doodlebug Bright Assortment cardstock pack. Doodle Twine adds a little fun texture to the colorful arches! 

I used four different ink colors and the cloud stamp from the Doodle Stamps Rainbows & Unicorns set to create my background. I love that the stamped images add interest on my white cardstock, but don't overwhelm the page. And it was SO MUCH FUN stamping all of those multi colored little clouds! I created the title using an Odds & Ends piece and the Tangerine Skinny Cardstock Stickers. Did you notice I added a few heart Shape Sprinkles to the alpha stickers for fun?

I finished the page by layering lots of Odds & Ends pieces. And the Gold Sprinkles add just the perfect amount of sparkle! 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to use the brand new and oh-so-fun Doodlebug Stamps on your next project!

Gratitude with Bella Blvd

Hi friends! Today I am excited to share my latest layout featuring the adorable Bella Blvd felt banners! I love that they come in a huge variety of colors and themes! I absolutely love the texture that they add to my projects! And how cool is the big Bella Blvd 'Gratitude' acrylic piece I used as my title?!

I started my layout with a white background and a strip of Scallop colored Bella Blvd Plaids and Dotty colored paper. I then used my electronic die cut machine to cut out leaves from the Gulf colored Plaids and Dotty paper and the Borders (teal dot) patterned paper from the Wish Big Boy collection. And of course I added an aqua colored pennant for some fun texture!  

I then die cut more leaves using the Guacamole colored Plaids and Dotty paper and the green Cake Time patterned paper from the Wish Big Boy collection. I added some chipboard pieces and ephemera shapes from the adorable Island Escape collection too. And another fun felt pennant adds more texture!

I used the Plaids and Dotty Punch paper and the Let's Celebrate (pink hearts) patterned papers to cut out more leaf shapes. I also embellished all my leaves with coordinating Word Salad stickers and I love the detail they add. Pink and red corrugated Heart Hugs stickers add more texture. And, of course, I finished the layout off with another felt pennant!

Thank you for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to add texture to your project using Bella Blvd felt pennants!

Happy St. Patty's Day with Doodlebug!

Since it seems like photo party sticks are all the rage these days I made my own for St. Patty's Day using the Doodlebug Beer cut files! I then documented my photos using the brand new and very cheery Lots O' Luck collection! I love that this collection focuses on greens, but also has some rainbow elements mixed in to make it even more fun! 

I stepped out of my comfort zone of solid white backgrounds and used the Doodlebug Citrus Floral-Graph patterned paper for my base. It coordinates perfectly with the collection and helps the white die cuts pop.

I started by adhering a section of the striped Rainbows End patterned paper to the top of my page. I also added a strip of the clover leaf Lots O' Luck patterned paper. I then embellished the top with lots of Odds & Ends pieces. An enamel cloud and a couple adorable enamel ladybugs finish off this section. 

I then used a cut apart card from the Pot O' Gold patterned paper as a page element. I embellished around it with the St. Patrick's Day emblem sticker from the This and That Sticker Sheet and a little dancing leprechaun from the Icons Sticker Sheet. I then added the beer, rainbow, and unicorn Odds & Ends pieces. A couple Rainbow Hearts Shaped Sprinkles add the perfect little touch.

 I had used my electronic die cut machine and the Doodlebug Design Beer-So Much Pun cut file to create my photo props. I am not even a huge beer drinker and I can not get over how darn cute these are! The 6x6 Gingham-Linen and Dot-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints paper pads were perfect for creating my little beer glass and beer can, don't you think?! 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to document your St. Patty's Day festivities with the Lots O' Luck collection!

Love 'Plane' and Simple

Like you, I really enjoy documenting photos of my loved ones. The Doodlebug Design French Kiss collection, though, makes it even more enjoyable! I just love the yummy mix of blues, pinks, and red and the characters are adorable. But let's not forget about the cute phrases like 'plane and simple' that are included, which I borrowed from the collection for my cute title!

I also am in love with the coordinating French Kiss cut files. Once I cut a few clouds from Doodlebug Seaglass colored cardstock, I knew I wanted to base my whole design around these  adorable fluffy clouds. And how perfect is that little French-inspired pilot (from the Odds & Ends pack) flying through the clouds?! I embellished the plane's tail with a heart sticker and added two white baby heart Sprinkles behind the pilot seat. Cute, right?! I used the graph side of the Bubblegum Floral-Graph Petite Prints patterned paper for my background and it was the perfect soft base color for this project.

I added the 'LOVE' Chit Chat piece to the main cloud and 'Be My Valentine' Chit Chat piece to my photo. Notice a couple of the cloud cut files have a heart shape on them that is cut out as well. You can see here where I backed it with the red tiny heart patterned paper. The navy polka dot patterned paper is one of my favorites of this collection! 

The title is my favorite part of this layout because I love the adorable 'plane and simple' phrase. And the small pilot gal sticker is the perfect size for this cloud. It's actually from the Mini Icons sticker sheet. Not only are the Mini Icons perfect for calendars and planners, but for layouts as well! And of course I had to add a baby heart Sprinkle to her plane. I completed the title using some of the Ladybug Teensy Type alphabet stickers

Thanks for joining us today! I hope I have inspired you to grab some of the adorable French Kiss collection and document your loved ones. Plane and simple, right?

Live Love Bark with Doodlebug Design

I am head over heels for the Doodlebug Design French Kiss collection! I love the pretty florals, the adorable plaids, and the super cute pooches! The coordinating Doodlebug cut files are great too because you can cut them to just about any size. Here I used the dog cut file and made him big enough so he would stand out and take the place of the large 'O' in my title. I love that he is sitting on the paper 'ledge' and takes center stage. I can barely stand the cuteness! 

Layering embellishments is one of my favorite things to do in scrapbooking. Here I layered a hot air balloon Odds & Ends piece over a This & That sticker strip and piece of Special Delivery washi tape. I added another layer with a couple clouds from the Odds & Ends pack. I finished off the hot air balloon with a couple Limeade Sprinkles. I used Seaglass Textured Cardstock for my main background.

I started out my title with Bubblegum colored Skinny Stickers. I then used my Silhouette Cameo to die cut the rest of my title out of my favorite patterned papers from the 6x6 French Kiss paper pad. And, seriously, how cute is this little dog cut file?! I love cut files with a few layers, like this one here. I was easily able to give the dog character by cutting out a couple different brown polka dot papers from the 6x6 Dot-Stripe Petite Prints pad. The L, V, and E were cut out using the FREE Sketch Alphabet from the Paper Issues online store. Bark was cut out using the Ballerina Sketch font from the Silhouette Studio online store. 

I framed my photo with the backside of the Navy Dot patterned paper. I have always loved red and blue postal stripes and this one is great! I finished my layout with a floral Odds & Ends piece and a word bubble from the Chit Chat pack. 

Thank you for joining us! I hope I have inspired you to document your favorite furry friend using the French Kiss collection!
