Doodlebug Design | Study Abroad Layout

My daughter spent the last year studying in Scotland for her junior year abroad.  She really took advantage of the inexpensive flights and accommodations in Europe... so much so that we joke that the year was more about the "abroad" than about the studying! I wanted to create a layout showcasing some of my favorite pictures from her travels.  I was inspired by some of the fun icons in the Fun in the Sun SVG Collection... take a peek...

I created the Silhouette file for the Study Abroad, and filled the letters with my favorite pictures.  I  backed the Study letters with papers from a combination of the Simply Spring and Sugar & Spice 6x6 pads.  The background papers are also from the Simply Spring Collection... they were the perfect fit...the ruled paper for the study theme and the clouds for the travel abroad theme!  Here are some close-ups...

Of course I had to use the airplane file from the Fun in the Sun collection. I embellished with some clouds from Fun in the Sun collection and stitching for the plane trails.

How cute is the little globe??

My daughter loved all the bicycles in Amsterdam so I just had to add the bike cut file.  To complete I added some stitching for the ground and some flowers sprinkles.

If you would like to use the Study Abroad Silhouette file, you can download it free from my blog here.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Doodlebug Cut Files: Baby Frame

Hi Everyone!  Lucky us, we have a new grand-niece in the family  (I always knew I was a great aunt, now it's just official, lol !)  I just LOVE babies and couldn't resist making her a little something... take a peek...

I started out with some Sugar and Spice Collection from Doodlebug Design.  It's one of my favorites, and I've been hoarding it for a while now!   I also added in some papers from Doodlebug's Snips & Snails and  Gingham Linen Petite Prints collections.  The bear cut file is the Teddy Bear from the Doodlebug Sugar and Spice Cut files available here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and here in Silhouette.  The balloon is from the Doodlebug Dragon Tails Cut files here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and here in Silhouette.  I used Lori Whitlock's Bubble Letter Font for the lettering.  My niece loved it!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design Cut Files: Baby Name Frames

Hi Everyone! Today I have a fun project I made using Doodlebug Design Cut files!  We've had a bit of a baby boom in our family recently... 3 new babies since May!  I wanted to send something special along to my new little cousins, and I put together a name frame for each of them.

For the girls frames, I used papers from the Sugar and Spice Collection and some Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  The cut files are from the Spring Things Cut file collection.  The files I used are the Ladybug SVG (here in the Silhouette Store), the Flower Cluster SVG (here in the Silhouette Store) and the Butterfly SVG (here in the Silhouette Store).  The font I used for all of the names is Lori Whitlock's Bubble Letter Font.

Here are some close-ups of the Spring Things Cut files.

For the little boy's frame, I used papers from the At the Zoo Collection and some Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  The cut files are also from the At the Zoo Collection.  I used the Koala Bear SVG (here in the Silhouette Store), the Penguin SVG (here in the Silhouette Store and the Lion SVG (here in the Silhouette Store.   

Here are some close-ups of these cut files...

I'm excited to send these along to my new little cousins!!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lori Whitlock: Tri Shutter Card - Baby

Hi Everyone! Today I'm on the  Lori Whitlock Blog with a tutorial showing how to assemble the new Tri Shutter Cards.  Lori has a couple of new Tri Shutter Cards in the shop including the this card, the Tri Shutter Card Baby ( here in the Silhouette Store).  Take a peek...

This is such a cute card, and can be customized for a boy or girl! The papers I chose are from  Doodlebug Design's Sugar and Spice collection, perfect for a new little girl in our family!  Another great feature of this card is that it folds flat and fits into a standard A2 envelope!

Doodlebug Design: Sugar & Spice Cut Files

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a layout I created using the ADORABLE new Sugar and Spice Cut files (available in SVG here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)  Sugar and Spice is one of my all time favorite Doodlebug Collections, I've been hoarding the paper for years!  I mixed it up with some Petite Prints to make this layout featuring pictures of my girl from a long time ago (she's 18 now!!)  Take a peek...

 

I started with the Polaroid file (available here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) as the base of my layout. I then added a bunch of the new files.  Here are some close-ups...

 

 

 

I just love the little critters in this collection!  Here is a list of the files I used with links to both the Silhouette Store and Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Baby Gift

Hi Everyone!  I'm finally sharing this fun little baby gift I made... back in December???  It took me forever to get it to the new parents, but I finally did and they loved it!  Take a peek...

I love this little Teddy Bear!  The dies to make him are from the Design a Softie Quick Stitch Kit from Papertrey Ink.  These dies are so stinkin' cute!  The papers and twine are from Doodlebug Design's Sugar and Spice collection.  This collection is from a few years ago, but I've been hording the papers, they are so cute!!  They were so happy to have this, and I'm just glad I got it to them before Fiona's first birthday!!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
