Doodlebug Design: Anchors Aweigh!

Hi Everyone!  Today I have  a layout I created using the new Anchors Aweigh Collection from Doodlebug Design!  We are a family of fishers and boaters, so this collection was right up my alley!!  It was the perfect match for these pictures from a few years ago of my husband and daughter heading to and from our mooring!  Take a peek...
 

 

Hands down, my favorite sticker in the whole collection is the seagull from the Icons Sheet.  I can just hear him saying, "mine, mine, mine...."  I wanted him as a focal point with the title which uses some Lily White Skinny Alphas.
 



 

The sun and clouds were cut using dies from the Spring Showers set from Lawn Fawn.  I used some Lily White Sprinkles Vellum for my clouds.

 

Doodle pops and Shaped Sprinkles are always favorites for me!  I used them here to set up a little underwater scene. I also added in a few Bubble Shaped Sprinkles!  They were too cute to pass up!

 

Even though this scene Anchor's Aweign has some "boy themed" elements,  it really can be used with any beach or water pictures!   The stickers and embellishments are adorable and the colors are so bright and cheery! That's it for me,  make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog daily for more Anchor's Aweigh inspiration! Thanks for stopping by to peek!

 

Snarky Stamps!

Have you ever created a card, and just couldn't find the right sentiment??  There's now a solution for that problem... they're called Snarky Stamps!  Snarky Stamps were created by Heather Joyce and are only available in the Paper Issues Store!  For when only "I'm sorry I was a freaking idiot" will do!  I got my first set last week, and decided to put them to use right away!  Take a peek at my card...

 

For my card, I used Lawn Fawn's new Polka Mon Amie and Beachside papers.  I created a shadowbox look by layering some Stitched Squares from Lawn Fawn.  The squares are embellished  with balloons using the Party Balloon dies and the sun and cloud from the Spring Showers set.  On the outside, it looks like any other birthday card...with a simple happy birthday sentiment...however, open it up...

 

and you get the perfect sentiment for that special friend! 

 

Here's the set I used, aptly named Freaking Sentiments.  There is another set available as well, called Dude Sentiments...can't wait for that one to arrive!  Stop by the Paper Issues store to get yours before they're gone!  I've also been told that there just may be more sets coming!  Use code KATHYS and get 20% off your whole order!

 

 

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
