Happy Weekend!  I'm working my way through a stack of layouts I didn't show you in 2022 on my blog due to the death of my father.  I did post on social media but I also want them to have a place here on my blog!  So bear with me while I catch up!  Today I am sharing a fun layout I created using the July 2022 Flavors of the Month Kit at The ScrapRoom!  It features the super fun Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place collection!  Here it is:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place; ephemera: Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place; Puff hearts: Doodlebug Designs

Is there anyone who doesn't just love the whimsical fun collections that Doodlebug Designs puts out?  I have them loved them since I started scrapbooking!  My sister's cat Chester loves to pose and so I was able to get some adorable photos of him lounging on his favorite chair and I thought they were the perfect photos for this fun collection fittingly called "My Happy Place"!  What is your favorite Doodlebug line?  I'd love to know so drop it in the comments!  Happy creating!

TGIF!!

TGIF!!  As I was looking at some past sketches I have created trying to find one to use on a layout I need to create this weekend I came across this one I created for The ScrapRoom's March 2021 Jumpstart sketch.  I loved this sketch so much and realized that I never shared it here on my blog!  So here it is:

Here is the layout I created with the sketch using the March 2021 Flavors of the Month Kit at The ScrapRoom:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose; ephemera: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose.

I love this paper collection!  The color palette is so soft and soothing, just perfect for this photo of my friend's sweet granddaughter!  I really love the black and white florals, they just lend a pop of black and white to give the perfect accent for this page don't you think?  I hope your weekend is full of creative fun!  If you created something using this gorgeous collection make sure and share it here in the comments!  Happy creating!
