Doodlebug Design: Mix and Match Challenge

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a layout I created for the Mix and Match Challenge at Doodlebug Design!  The ladies on the Doodlebug DT were challenged to create a project using multiple Doodlebug collections... which is so easy, everything coordinates so well!  Here's my layout featuring 6...yes 6 Doodlebug collections.  Take a peek.

 

I love this picture!  I got to meet one of my on-line scrappy friends in real life after knowing each other for 3 years! Danielle flew in from the Netherlands and we had a great weekend at a huge crop!  

 

 Swimming Pool and Limeade are my favorite Doodlebug Colors so I decided to use those colors for my layout.  I used coordinating papers from Polar Pals, Spring Garden, Anchors Aweigh, Sweet Things, Swiss Dot Petite Prints and an oldie...Hip Hip Hooray!

 

 

The beauty of keeping the same color families across collections is that you can always find that perfect paper or embellishment to add to your projects!  I found stickers and sprinkles in each of the collections to add to my layout!

 

 Fun fact... the glasses photo props we are using in this picture are from my Swiss Dot Petite Prints project that I blogged back in February!   That's it for me today, make sure to keep checking the Doodlebug blog for more Mix and Match inspiration!

Valentine's Day Card

Hi Everyone!  On Sunday, the ladies over at Paper Issues had an on-line Superbowl Scrap and Chat, for those of us who were a little less interested in the game itself! (The Patriots weren't playing, so it was just the commercials for me...)  One of the fun challenges was to create any project with a heart.  I put together this cute little card ...

 

 

I used some Doodlebug Designs Sweet Things papers and stickers for this card.  I love the adorable little bees!!  I cut the heart swirls from a border file using my Silhouette.  I think it will be perfect for someone special here! 

Paper Issues has another weekend-long crop coming up March 18-20.

 

 

There will be lots of challenges and prizes!  Make sure that you're a part of the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Group to get all the details and updates!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Sweet Things Collection

Hi Everyone, today I have a fun layout featuring the adorable new Sweet Things Collection from Doodlebug Design!  I love Valentine collections, and this is one of my all time favorites!  Take a peek...

 

Everyone knows I am a crazy cat lady.  This is our kitten Jax.  He's really cute, which is good, because he's a bit of a troublemaker.  He just has the sweetest face... or maybe it's one only a cat mom could love... I'll let you decide! 

I loved the typewritten pattern of the Love letters paper!  It makes a great background!  And all the fun hearts in the Paper Hearts Paper... such great colors!  I wanted it to be a big focus of my layout.  I then set out to embellishing... Sweet Things has the best embellishments!  My favorites were the Sweet Hearts Shape Sprinkles and the word stickers from the This and That Sticker Sheet!  Here are some more close-ups...

 

 I completed the layout with some Ladybug Chippers and some Teensy Type letters for my title.  That's it for me today!  I hope you've enjoyed all of the Sweet Things inspiration these past couple of weeks!  Have a great day!

 

Lori Whitlock: Valentine's Banner
