Doodlebug Design: Smash-Up Challenge

Hi Everyone! Today I have a fun project for the Doodlebug Smash-Up Challenge. The Smash-Up Challenge is a combination of our two most popular challenges:  the "Color Challenge" and the "Inspired by" Challenge!  The DT each picked one of the Doodlebug colors to feature in a project that is inspired by one of our favorite Doodlebug projects!  I chose Lilac as my color, and Traci Penrod's CREATE Letter Project as my inspiration.  Here's what I came up with...

I made these for my daughter, who will be attending Holy Cross (HC) in the fall.  The college's colors are purple and white.  I created the marquee letters using a files I found in the Silhouette Store using some Lilac Swiss Dot Petite Prints, as well as some Lilac Dot Grid Petite Print paper.  Once they were put together, I added some battery operated stringed lights and bulbs from Heidi Swapp.  They took a little patience, but I'm thrilled with how they turned out!  Here are some close ups...

I can't wait to see these in her dorm room!  That's it for me today.  Make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog for more Smash-Up inspiration!  Thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Designs: Kraft In Color Insta-Mini

Hi Everyone...I'm up on the Doodlebug blog today with a cute little mini album I created using the new Kraft in Color collection. This is definitely one of my all time favorite collections!!

As soon as I saw the Rainbow Chevron Washi I knew I needed to play with it!!!  When I found the cute Instant Memories SVG kit from SVGCuts.com  my inspiration was complete!  An album featuring my favorite Insta's from last year!

 

I created my album cover using pieces from the Instant Camera box.  The lenses were created using some new Lily White Sprinkles Vellum and a couple of mini jewels.  I made the rainbow portion of the camera using some of the washi tapes from the new Chevron Washi Assortment.  Now for the hard part...picking just one picture to represent each month!
 



 

All of the background papers were taken from the Kraft in Color 6x6 pads.  I mixed them with some stickers and elements from a few other collections including Take Note and Flowerpot.  I love the new Arrows Sprinkles....they're awesome!!

 

 

Such a fun mini to put together!  I thought it would take me forever, but the fact that all of Doodlebug's products mix and match just made it a breeze! That's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
