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 Designs: So Thankful for You

Hi Everyone, Today, I have a layout I created for Doodlebug Design combining both the Happy Camper and Friendly Forest Collections.  I can't get over how well these two lines work together!  Take a peek:

 

I decided the best way to showcase how well these collections coordinate was to create a quilt-like background. I found my Hexagon Sizzix Die and got to work!

 

Even the stickers mixed and match perfectly.  The flowers and leaves are from Friendly Forest and the border strips are from Happy Camper. I also used some Fall Sprinkles and a Fall Mini Clothespin which are part of both collections!

 

I love the fact that these collections work so well together!  It gives me so many more options when I'm creating!  That's it for me today.  Make sure to keep stopping by the Doodlebug Design blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team!  Thanks for stopping by!
