Doodlebug Design: Thankful For Challenge

Hi Everyone!  Today I have my layout for the Thankful for Challenge over on the Doodlebug Design Blog.  My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary!  It feels like just yesterday!  I decided that what I'm most thankful for is us, the family and life we've made!  I created this layout using paper and elements from different Doodlebug fall collections to celebrate.  Take a peek...

I'm not a big journaler but I felt I needed to add something, so I used one of the Doodlebug Create-a-Card cards as a mat for my photo.  It opens up to show some "hidden" journaling.  I also love the tab, it was a place to add a little more information.  I added a few embellishments including a sticker from the Flea Market This and That Sticker Sheet and one of the Cute Clip Flowers.  I created the notebook page by welding 2 of the Sun Notepaper files from the Spring Things cut files and changing the line colors using my Silhouette.

The background paper is the Maple Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  The other papers are from the Flea Market collection.  I think this is one of my all time favorite collections!  As for my embellishments, the tag is from the Flea Market Labels & Tags, the leaves are from the Mini Leaves and Acorns Craft Kit and the mice are from the Flea Market Odds & Ends.

I finished it off with my title, using some Teensy Type Letters in Swimming Pool and the fun new Abigail Cardstock Stickers in Bumble Bee.  

Be sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog for the next week to check out more of the Design Team's Thankful for projects.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design Door Hangers

Hi Everyone!  Every once in a while my husband actually asks me to use my scrappy skills to make something for his work.  Recently he mentioned that some of the ladies he works with were wishing they had some way to close the "door" of their work cubes so they could get work done undisturbed.  He asked me if there was a sign I could make for them, and this is what I came up with....

I started with this door hanger from the Silhouette Store which I cut from some Doodlebug Design Bubble Blue Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  I made a print and cut insert for the door hanger which can be flipped to indicate whether the virtual door was open or closed.

To finish the hanger, I added this cute little typewriter from the Doodlebug Flea Market Cut files available here in the Silhouette Store and here in Lori Whitlock's SVG Shop.  The little heart is from the new Rainbow Heart Shaped Sprinkles from Doodlebug Design.

He said they were a big hit, now to see if they actually work!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Thanksgiving Place Cards

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some fun little Thanksgiving Place Cards I made using some Doodlebug Design Flea Market Papers and Cut files which are available in the Silhouette Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Take a peek...

I started with a simple box.  I then sized the Acorn, Pumpkin, Sunflower and Leaves files to fit over the box.  I cut a small tag, and using my Silhouette Sketch Pens to write the names of my guests and tied the tag to the stems.  Here are some close-ups.

 

 

To complete the place cards, I added some Sprinkles and Stickers from the Flea Market Collection.  I plan on filling them with some sweet treats!   That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Flea Market Cut Files

Hi Everyone!  I have another fun project featuring some FABULOUS Flea Market Cut Files available in the Silhouette Design Store!  I was so excited to realize that with these new cut files, I could create Doodlebug critters and embellishments in ANY SIZE I wanted!!  These were perfect for the bulletin board outside my daughter's dorm room.  Every room has one, and the girls can decorate them as they wish.  So of course we supersized some of the files!  Here's what I cut...

It's hard to tell from the picture, but that fox is almost a foot tall!  Here are some close ups of the different files.

Leaves

Fox

Pumpkins and Acorn

I pieced them together using Gingham-Linen Petite Prints, Swiss Dot Petite Prints and some older Dot-Grid Petite Prints.  I can't wait to send them to her!!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Paper Issues: You Knock My Fox Off Issue

Hi Everyone!  It's time for round 2 of the You Knock My Fox Off Issue at Paper Issues!  What are we looking for??  Suggested idea are to use fox or woodland animal embellishments; create something about the people you love; have an element hang off the side of your project; fall or Halloween theme; photos of doors; or use the PI fox card on your project! I created this fall themed layout about my sweet girl for the Issue, take a peek...

 

I used the new Flea Market Collection from Doodlebug Design.  I think this might be my ALL TIME Favorite Doodlebug Collection!  I also created stitching templates using the new Doodlebug Design Flea Market cut files available in the Silhouette Store!  Click here for a tutorial showing how to make stitching templates from a cut file.  Here are some close-ups...

Doodlebug Design: Flea Market

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a fun layout I created using the fabulous new Flea Market Collection from Doodlebug Design!  I think this might be my all-time favorite fall collection from Doodlebug!!  I used it to scrap these fun pictures of my daughter and her friend hiking in a local state forest.

The colors & patterns in Flea Market are fabulous, my favorite is the Garden Plaid paper!  I also LOVE the Odds & Ends.  There are so many goodies to use in embellishment clusters and the little critters... too cute!

I also fell in love with the new Country Crows Doodle Pops and the words from the This and That Sticker Sheet.  They really help complete a project!
