There are a ton of birthday's coming up in my family so I decided to make Lori's adorable Stand-up Birthday Balloons card.  (Available here in the silhouette Store.)

 

 

I used some Doodlebug Design papers (Petite Prints and Hello Sunshine) to create my card.  The little banner was printed using my Silhouette Sketch Pens and Lori's Cheerful Sketch Font. 

 

 

The card even comes with an envelope cut file! Now something for you...

One Last Bunny....

Hi Everyone, I have one last Easter project to share... I created this cute set for Lori Whitlock.  Take a peek...

I started with Lori's Easter Basket cut file, I love this file because it goes together so easily and I could show off both sides of this fun paper from Doodlebug's Hello Sunshine collection.  I then used the new EOS Lip Balm Bunny file to cut this cutie from Doodlebug's Petite Prints papers.



Lori's EOS holders are so cute and perfect for party favors and fun little gifts!  That's it for me today.  Thanks for stopping by!

Doodlebug Design: Inspired by

Hi Everyone!  The Doodlebug Design Team was challenged to find a project on the Doodlebug Pinterest Boards that inspired us, and to create a project based on that pin.  It was tough to narrow it down to just one project, but I found this beautiful layout by Melinda Spinks and had to scraplift it! 

What immediately caught my eye were Melinda's washi tape flowers...such a clever idea! Here is my version of her layout.....

 

 

To make the layout my own, I went more bold with the colors, using some fun papers from the new Hello Sunshine collection, and lots of bright Swiss Dot Washi tapes.

 

To create the flowers, I covered pieces of Lily White Cardstock with the different tapes.  I then ran them through my Big Shot using some MFT Dienamics to create the flower shapes.

 

 

I finished the flowers with some washi centers, and a few Bright Glitter Sprinkles.  It was such a fun layout to put together!  I love how similar and different the two layouts turned out!  That's it for me today! Make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog for more "inspired by" projects this week...you won't be disappointed! 

 

Doodlebug Design & Scrapbook Generation team up for Create Magazine!

Hi Everyone! This month the Design Team at Doodlebug Design teamed up with the folks at Scrapbook Generation for the March Issue of CREATE Magazine!!  We got to work with some FABULOUS sketches!  Here's the layout I created....

 

It's hard to believe that this picture was taken 10 years ago!  Feels like yesterday! I used lots of goodies from Doodlebug's  Hello Sunshine and Easter Parade collections for my layout.   

 

 

Make sure to check out all of the layouts, cards & tags from the Doodlebug DT... starting on Page 74!  The whole magazine is chock full of inspiration!  Click here to download your own copy!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

 

Doodlebug Design: Washi Tape Cards

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some fun cards I made featuring Doodlebug's Washi Tapes.  I must admit, I have a bit of a hoarding problem when it comes to Washi...I can't resist it!  Take a peek...

 

For my first card, I used some Swiss Dot Washi Tapes to create a banner rainbow.  I first put the tape on some Lily White Cardstock, then cut the banner pieces to make the colors pop a bit more.

 

My next card was really simple to put together.  I folded some Washi over a piece of Doodlebug Twine, and trimmed to make banner pieces.

 

 

Finally,  I made some Washi Tape flowers by first covering some Lily White Cardstock with the different Washi Tapes, and then running them through my Big Shot with some MFT Dienamics Flower dies. 

Some bright and cheery cards to warm me up for these very snowy winter days!  Make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog over the next couple of weeks for more Washi Tape inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
 

Doodlebug Design: Hello Sunshine Layout

Hi Everyone!  I have a fun layout featuring Doodlebug's new Hello Sunshine collection today!  I think this is one of my all-time favorites!  The Kraft mixed with Doodlebug brights is my FAVORITE combination!  I wanted to show off all the fun colors, so I created a "rainbow" background.  Take a peek...

 

 

This is my daughter in Key West last summer.  Her name is Caroline, so of course we had to pose with the famous Caroline Street sign!  It's too bad she's so shy, right??

 

 

I think I used almost all of the flowers from the Icons Sticker Sheet...and I also mixed in some more from the new Spring Flowers Sprinkle Shapes & the Fun Flowers Doodlepops! I also am in love with the little bugs in the collection...again, only Doodlebug can make a bug cute!!!

 

I added a rainbow to my title as well using some Shin-Dig glitter alphas! 

 

That's it for me today!  Make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Design Blog for more Design Team Inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!
