Doodlebug Design | Bloom Where You Are Planted Layout

Did you do any scrapping for International Scrapbook Day?  I always have grand plans to do multiple projects... and I'm lucky if one is completed!  I did get a chance to play with some of the Fairy Garden Collection and created a fun layout... take a peek...

I found these adorable pictures of my great niece picking wildflowers on Instagram and with her mom's permission I "stole" them!  I thought they would perfectly coordinate with the flowers and critters in the Fairy Garden Collection!  I created the cut file using my Silhouette, and the cut layers of grass using Lawn Fawn's Grassy Border Die and some petite prints.

I embellished with lots of goodies from the Odds & Ends pack.  It was fun to tuck some of the flowers, mushrooms and critters into the layers of grass!  I also scattered in some flowers from the Spring Garden Shaped Sprinkles.

I just love the cloud side of the Glowbugs Cardstock... I may or may not have multiples hoarded in my stash!  It makes the perfect background!  Now for something fun!  I've made this cut file available to you.  You can download it here from my blog.  If you create with it, be sure to tag me and Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

Doodlebug Design | You Bake Me So Happy Layout

I don't have littles anymore, and it's not always easy getting photos of my twenty-something... so when I saw these adorable pictures on Instagram of my niece's cutie helping in the kitchen I immediately asked her to send them to me. Being the wonderful niece she is, she sent them right along! They are the absolute perfect match for the Made with Love collection.  So much so, I actually scrapped a page... something I haven't done in quite a while.  Take a peek...

 

I am always in awe of moms who don't care how messy things get...I wasn't over the top but flour and glitter were 2 things that were very closely monitored in my house, lol!  For my layout, I started with the plaid side of the dab of butter cardstock and added some cinnamon heart cardstock along the bottom.  I cut a scallop strip using the borders and edges doodle cut dies.   I also added a strip of cinnamon hearts along the top of the page with the yellow scallop strip from the this and that sticker sheet and added a zig zag stitch.

I just love the mixer.. I need one in this exact color for my kitchen!  I created a fun little cluster using the icons stickers... and gave them all some mini sprinkle hearts!  Those eggs... so stinkin' cute!

And of course I couldn't resist the adorable flour and sugar canisters... and that little measuring cup!  I finished off the layout with some more stickers from the icon stickers and my title was created using pieces from the Chit Chat pack.  I just love her sweet face... and I guess the saying is true... messy hands, happy heart!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Land That I Love Layout

Last summer my daughter had an internship in NYC.  For the 4th of July she was invited to a friend's house all the way out on the north fork of Long Island, a town called Mattituck.  The girls had a blast!  Part of their celebration was at the Mattituck Old Fashioned Street Fair... lots of good food, music and crafts!  Lucky for me they also took lots of pictures!  It's so hard to get pictures of them out with friends once they reach a certain age!  I used the Land That I Love Collection to scrap one of my favorites.

I love the graph side of the America the Beautiful paper.  I used it as my background, then cut 3x4 pieces of some of the other patterned papers and lined them up to be the background for my photo.

I used a lot of the Odds & Ends to embellish.  I love that banner!

I also used some of the stickers from the This and That sheet as well as the icons sticker sheet.  And of course... I had to use some of the Stars and Stripes Shapes Sprinkles!

For my title, in addition to the Odds and Ends pieces, I used some of the new Sunshine alpha stickers... they are the perfect "in between" size!

Paper Issues Happiness Insta Parade

Today is the Paper Issues Happiness Insta Parade over on Instagram!  Each participant has created a project about something that makes them happy.  We are trying to spread a little sunshine in these uncertain times!  It's been a while since I've done a layout, it was really fun to get back to it!  I came up with this layout featuring my daughter on spring break this year.  She was lucky to have an early break, before any travel or gathering restrictions were set in place.  She and a couple of friends went to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon.  Of course they stopped for some fun pictures along the old Route 66!  This picture was one of my favorites!

I used Doodlebug Design's I ❤️ Travel collection for my layout.  The Odds & Ends pieces and stickers were absolutely perfect!   Here are some close-ups...

How fabulous is that truck???  The whole scene definitely makes me happy.  Now a little thank you for hopping along... I created the YOU Make Me Happy cut file I used on this layout and it's available for free here.

Head over to the Paper Issues Instagram to start the hop!  That's it for me today , thanks for stopping by to peek!

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 Design | Pumpkin Party Cut Files

Not long ago, my niece sent me this fabulous picture of my great-niece and great-niece-pup.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to have to scrap it!  When I saw the new Pumpkin Party Cut files which are available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store I was immediately inspired!  Take a peek...

That face!!!  Such personality!  I wanted the picture to be the focus so I enlarged it to be 9.5" x 9.5".  I backed it with some new Dot-Stripe Petite Prints in Mandarin and Lilac, and then with the Party Plaid Paper from the Pumpkin Party Collection.  I cut the Pumpkin Party - Pumpkins in a few different sizes from some Dot-Stripe and Floral-Graph Petite Prints in Mandarin.     Here's a hint to make the pumpkins look different... In addition to resizing them I also used the flip horizontally function in Silhouette to make the same file slightly different.

I also added the Web and spider from the Pumpkin Party Web Lantern file to the corner of my layout using some Beetle Black Dot Stripe Petite Prints.  I made the spider 3D by cutting two of the spiders, then cutting one so that it was just the body.  I then layered them with some foam tape between the layers for dimension.  The eyes are from the Eerie Eyes Shaped Sprinkles and the speech bubble is from the Pumpkin Party Chit Chats.

I finished off my layout with my title which was made from Tangerine Abigail and Teensy Type Alpha Stickers.  I love mixing fonts!  Have you created a project using the Pumpkin Party Collection or Cut Files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Social Media so that we can see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Down on the Farm Layout

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a new layout featuring Doodlebug's Down on the Farm Collection!  Having a daughter away at college has really cut into my photo taking!  I am lucky however that she is agreeable to sending pictures to me.  Last year when she went apple picking at a local farm, she sent me a bunch of pictures saying, "I knew you'd want to scrap some of these!"  So as soon as I saw the On the Farm Collection, I immediately thought of these pictures of her with the baby goats!

 I started with the wood grain side of the Country Garden double sided cardstock and the Farmer Flannel papers for my background.  I added some strips from the Down on the Farm paper, I just love the bandanna and the buffalo check patterns!  I then had lots of fun with the Odds and Ends!  Those little goats are just too cute!  I also added a couple of stickers from the Icons Stickers Sheet, the mouse and fly... because that fly is adorable and needs to be part of every Down on the Farm project!  And...Yes, my title (made from Abigail Font Stickers in Lily White)   is a pun.  I'd like to be able to blame it on the So Punny Collection, but to be honest, I've never been able to resist a good pun!   Here are some close-ups...

This collection is just too stinking cute!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

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 Design: Fairy Tales Layout

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a fun layout I created using the ADORABLE Fairy Tales Collection from Doodlebug Design!  I just love unicorns, and this collection is chock full of them!  I actually have a board on Pinterest with a lot of unicorn quotes so I decided to use a couple of them for inspiration for these layouts!  Here is a look at my first one:

I love this picture of my daughter on the steps of MoMA in NYC.  It's actually a still from a video, but it is her personality exactly!   I thought it was a perfect fit for my title quote.

The Unicorn Clip from the Fairy Tales Cute Clips is too cute!   And the word stickers from the This & That Sheet are always fun to sprinkle around!

 

The Odds & Ends package is FULL of fun pieces such as this cute unicorn.  I love creating little scenes using all the pieces!  The Flower Friends Mini Doodle Pops were a fun addition as well!  I just love their little faces!  The best is the new Rainbow Hearts Shaped Sprinkles.... I need at least 10 packages of these!!!

For my title I used a combination of Teensy Type Stickers.  I love mixing and matching fonts!  That's it for me today, I'll be back tomorrow with another layout featuring Fairy Tales!  Thanks for stopping by to peek! 

Doodlebug Design: Flea Market

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a fun layout I created using the fabulous new Flea Market Collection from Doodlebug Design!  I think this might be my all-time favorite fall collection from Doodlebug!!  I used it to scrap these fun pictures of my daughter and her friend hiking in a local state forest.

The colors & patterns in Flea Market are fabulous, my favorite is the Garden Plaid paper!  I also LOVE the Odds & Ends.  There are so many goodies to use in embellishment clusters and the little critters... too cute!

I also fell in love with the new Country Crows Doodle Pops and the words from the This and That Sticker Sheet.  They really help complete a project!



If you haven't already, check out the other Flea Market projects the DT has posted over the last couple of weeks, there is something to inspire everyone!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Puppy Love

Hi Everyone! Today I have a fun layout I created using the new Puppy Love Collection from Doodlebug Design.  My good friend recently got a new puppy.  I was lucky enough to get to "puppy-sit" a few times.  I'm not sure who had more fun, me or Miss Lola.  Of course I had to take lots of pictures...

 

 

As soon as I saw the tile letters on the It's a Dog's Life paper, I knew I wanted to use them!  I combined the puppy tiles with some Ladybug Chippers for my title.

 

 

The Sparky Doodlepop was too cute to resist!

 

 

I also love the words from the This and That Sticker Sheet, I love to cluster them with other stickers!

 Make sure to keep checking the blog for more Puppy Love inspiration.  That's it for me, thanks for stopping by to peek!

 

 

My Boy

Hi Everyone, I just got back from a fun weekend of scrapping with friends at the 2016 Crop on the Cape!  This is just the most fun event, I think this might have been my 10th year going!  This year I also got to meet up with some of my Paper Issues Teammates... there may have been shenanigans...

 

Anyway, we also participated in Paper Issue's Spring Crop.  One of the challenges was called Must Love Dogs (or in my case, cats...).  This is the layout I put together for the challenge...

 

 

This is my boy Jax.  He loves to play peek-a-boo and attack the hands on the keyboard.  He's too cute!  I used the new Totally Rad collection from Cocoa Vanilla.  It's available in the Paper Issues Shop here.  It's mostly a "boy" themed line but I love the colors and patterns, and Jax IS a boy.... Here are some close-ups...

 

Totally Rad came with some awesome embellishments.  I had a fun time sprinkling them about!  Stop by the Paper Issues Store to pick up some Totally Rad for yourself, you'll be glad you did!  Use code KATHYS for a 20% discount on your whole order!  

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