Doodlebug Designs: Design by Color Challenge

Hi Everyone, I have a fun layout today for Doodlebug's Design by Color Challenge.  The Design Team was asked to pick one color from the Doodlebug palette and create a project that was at least 75% that color.  It was a hard choice (I love ALL Doodlebug colors...) but I chose Limeade.  And as luck would have it, I had the perfect picture to complement my color choice!

 

For those of you who are not sports fans, or familiar with Boston landmarks, the Green Monster (properly pronounced "Monstah" in Boston) is the left field wall of Fenway Park.  My husband and my daughter recently attended a concert at Fenway and were kind enough to get their photo snapped in front of the wall! (ok, let's be honest, I sent them with explicit instructions to do so...)  All I had to do was find all of the Limeade goodies in my Doodlebug Stash!
 

 

 

 

I love that Doodlebug uses the same color families in their collections.  I could mix and match with ease from a number of older and new lines!

 

This was a really fun layout to create...I had a great time figuring out how to make it all work!  That's it for me today, make sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog to check out all of the Design Team inspiration!

Paper Issues: Mix Tape Issue

Hi Everyone...eek, it's been about two weeks since I last blogged!!!  I've been away on vacation and then trying to catch up with everything, my poor blog has been neglected!  I have been crafty during this time though, and one of the projects I created is a fun card for the Mix Tape Issue over at Paper Issues.   Take a peek:

 

 

I used a Lori Whitlock Silhouette file for my card...just changed it around a bit to be horizontal rather than a vertical design.  As for the Issue, I took the challenge pretty literally...and used a mix of Doodelbug Washi tapes to create a background for my cut-out hearts. 

 

Make sure to head over to the Paper Issues Blog to see how the Design Team interpreted this issue!  Link up your projects (and be sure to link back to Paper Issues!!) by August 17th and you could win a prize pack from our sponsor Hazel and Ruby!!!  You might also find your project featured on the Paper Issues Blog, Facebook or Instagram!!!  That's it for me today.  I 'll be back soon!  Thanks for stopping by!

Right at Home Scrapbooking: July Mood Board Inspired PL Cards

Hi Everyone...I have some fun Project Life cards today that were inspired by the July Mood Board at Right at Home Scrapbooking.  Take a peek at the Board....

And here are the cards I put together using Pink Paislee's Pen Pals collection.

 

 

My 4th Card was created using the Stitched Journaling Card from Lawn Fawn as the base.  I added some stars to the background and finished it off with some Lawn Fawn Louie's ABCs & 123s.The Happy was stamped using Lawn Fawn Clark's ABCs stamps on a piece of vellum.

 

 

My Hello Summer Card was created using the Large Stitched journaling card also from Lawn Fawn.  I decorated it with a Polaroid frame & Flip flops I cut with my Silhouette.  The Sun, Hello and stamps are also Lawn Fawn.

 That's it for today...Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Issues: Say Cheese Issue

Hi Everyone...just a quick post to share the card I created for Paper Issues latest issue, Say Cheese, sponsored by Maya Road.

 

I LOVE Maya Road Chipboard pieces.  You can do so many things with them.  For my card I covered them with some fun Doodlebug Designs Sugar Shoppe Papers, and also painted some with some Smooch.  They hold up to just about anything!!  Have you linked up to our latest Issue???  We're looking for projects that:

Doodlebug Designs: Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock

Hi Everyone, I'm up on the Doodlebug Design blog today with a fun layout featuring Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock.  I love the glittery effect it adds to a project!  Here's what I came up with:

 

 This quote has always been a favorite, and worked perfectly with the sparkle factor in the Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock ... and this silly selfie of my daughter.  I used a number of thin dies from Sizzix and MFT and my Big Shot to cut hearts from the cardstock.  I love how the colors coordinate perfectly with the Sugar Shoppe papers!

 

 

For my title, I couldn't resist mixing and matching Doodlebug Alphas and I HAD to use the Bubblegum Shin-Dig Sugar Coated Alphas! 

 

To complete my layout, I added some Doodlebug Sequins and stitched with some silver thread for a little more bling!  That's it for me today.  Thanks for stopping by.

Right at Home Scrapbooking: July Mood Board

Hi Everyone...just a quick post to share the layout I created using the July Mood Board from Right at Home Scrapbooking as inspiration.  The colors are perfect for summery layouts!  Take a peek at the Mood Board:

and here's my layout:

 

 

I love these pictures of my daughter and her friend in "London" at Epcot last summer.  They fell in love with the telephone booth!  I got Pink Paislee's Pen Pals collection to work with...  the color combos are great and the ephemera pack is full of goodies!  I used one of the tags from the pack as a backdrop for my title. The little Hello clip is from Maya Road.

 

And of course I had to use more of the Ephemera pack to create clusters of embellies!!  That's it for today, I'll be back soon with a Doodlebug project and more Mood Board Inspiration from Right at Home!  Thanks for stopping by!

A Summer Lawn Fawn Mini

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share a fun mini album I created to showcase some pictures from my upcoming vacation!  We're heading to the Florida Keys later this summer and I wanted to have something ready to go to hold all the pictures I plan on taking!!  Take a peek!

 

I used mostly Lawn Fawn goodies, including the Life is Good stamps and dies and some Let's Polka papers.  I thought the colors were perfect for my tropical vacation!

 

 

The camera album shape was adapted from a Lori Whitlock shaker cut file found in the Silhouette store here.  The cloud is made from some Doodlebug Sprinkles vellum and the sequins are also from Doodlebug.  I'm not usually a stamper...but the Life is good stamps are just too cute!

 

For my inside pages, I used the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Journaling Card.  I kept them simple, just adding some stamped images and die cuts to each page.  I used some 4x6 album sleeves from We R to hold them. 

 

I know I'll end up adding more pages as I go along, but the good thing is it's easy to do!  That's it for me today...I have lots of goodies in the works...will be updating again soon!!!  Thanks for stopping by!
