Friendly Forest: Colorful Fall Layout Duo

Colorful Fall Layout
by Candace Zentner

Candace from Scrappin' 2 Little Princesses here today! I am so excited to share a layout using the new Friendly Forest Collection! This collection is super sweet animals combined with a great selection of fall colors!

It is so hard to find a fall collection that has hints of more feminine colors in it. I couldn't have hand picked the color pallet better myself!! I had so much fun putting this layout together.

Some of my favorite embellishments in this collection are the leaves from the Mini Leaves & Acorn Craft Kit. I paired them with the awesome new clothespins and a pretty twine bow to make a super fun cluster of embellishments.

The super sweet animals in this collection just melt my heart and the fact that they come in Mini Doodlepops is so exciting. They are just perfect for cards and layouts.

I have been having a hard time using the new Sprinkles with glitter in them but I finally opened them up for this project. They add the perfect touch around titles.

I hope you enjoyed how I used the Friendly Forest Collection today!! I am sure you are all just as in love with is as I am! Happy Crafting!!

Autumn Beauty Layout
by Jodi Wilton

Hi Everyone! Jodi here today to share with you a layout I created using the fun- Friendly Forest Collection. Fall is my favorite time of year and once again, I think that Doodlebug Design has knocked it out of the park with this collection! I simply love all the little critters in this collection and I couldn't wait to use them on my project. I started off my project by picking one of my most favorite photos of my daughter from this past fall. Her shirt reminded me of the patterned paper: Fall Floral in this collection. I then layered on top of this piece. Here is the layout I created:

Besides the adorable critters in this collection I also LOVED the trees found on the Icon Sticker Sheet... the colors are awesome, but I love the different shapes! I used these as my main embellishments on the layout. To create my title I used the new chipboard alpha, which I have to say are my most favorite release this year! I love the size and the font! They are awesome! To spruce them up a bit I did add some bling to them too!

I finally got use the cute little critters, and I added some fall sprinkles on the fancy frills sticker at the top! Love the glitter in these sprinkles!

Thanks for letting me share today! I hope you are enjoying all of the wonderful Fall inspiration this year!

Chevrons...Use a Little or A Lot Layout Inspiration

Your Sparkle Layout

by Kathy Skou

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with a layout featuring Doodlebug's Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock. I love glitter, so this cardstock is right up my alley!!! Here's what I created:

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 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. Be sure to keep checking back here to see more inspiration from the Doodlebug Design team! Thanks for stopping by.

Little Girl Big Personality
by Jodi Wilton

Hi Everyone! Jodi here today to share with you a fun layout that I did of my daughter, Taylor! I love using as much color as I can on my layouts, so I decided on some rainbow stripes using the Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock.

I used Beacons 3 in 1 glue to make sure the sugar coated paper stuck really well. The length of each strip is 1 3/4 X 11 1/2.

Next up I added 10 photos all sized at 3 X 2 and arranged them on top of the layout as shown below. I added the title using a variety of alpha stickers to add interest and added the rainbow doodle-pop in the middle!

I finally grabbed a bunch of embellishments to see what wound work on the layout, and decided to try my best to do tone-on-tone. Here is the result:

I used a lot of doodle-pops and mini doodle-pops on the layout. I layered the monster doodle-pop with the mini popsicle doodlepop... I think this is just so cute!!!

I also loved the little monster from the Hip-Hip Hooray collection and added that with the cloud from the Springtime Icon Sticker Sheet

I also layered a lot on the layout with a variety of jewels on top of stickers:

I hope you enjoyed the layout today and that the sun is shining wherever you are!

Vellum: Rainbow of Colored Vellum Layouts

My Rainbow Girl Layout
by Jodi Wilton

Hi Doodlebug Fans! Jodi here today to share a fun layout tutorial on using Doodlebug's Sprinkle Vellum. My favorite thing about Doodlebug's Vellum was of course the wide variety of Doodlebug's Rainbow Colors! I wanted to use as much color on my layout that I could and keep the main focus on the vellum. I decided to use six different colors and punched four hearts out of each of six colors I chose:

Next I arranged the hearts along with the three photos I chose on a piece of Lily White Cardstock:

I still thought the layout needed more, so I punched smaller hearts out to adhere on top of the larger hearts. To adhere them I folded the smaller hearts in half and added a small amount of Glossy Accents down the middle of the smaller hearts to give the heart more dimension when adhered to the layout. They should look like this:

After I added all the stickers (from Doodlebug's Spring Collection) and title (Simply Sweet Cardstock Stickers), but kept them to a minimum as I really wanted the Sprinkle Vellum Hearts to shine through on this layout! Here is the final layout:

And some detailed shots:

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial today, and I hope the happy Doodlebug colors put a smile your face! Thanks for letting me share my Rainbow Girl with you!

Summertime Vellum Layout
by Aimee Kidd

Hello Doodlebug friends! Aimee here with you today to show you my take on how to use that oh so delicious vellum from Doodlebug! I have this layout of my sweet girl in the pool with rays of colored sunshine. Let me get started explaining how this layout came together!

I used a sunray cut from the Silhouette Studio and saved the middle cuts to use as a guide so I would know where to cut out overlapping pieces of the vellum.

Once I had all of my pieces cut out I started adhering the vellum pieces to the back of my die cut. The entire sunray cut was measured to be 11 1/2". Then I adhered that piece to a sheet of 12 x 12 white cardstock so the vellum colors would shine through.

Once I had the main part of the layout completed I started decorating those beautiful rays of sunshine and around my photos! There are all types of matching embellishments from Doodlebug that were so much fun to use!

I also brought in pieces from other collections that were a perfect match! If you'll look closely you'll see pieces from Fruit Stand, Sugar Shoppe, and Springtime.

In this close up you'll see some of the staples of Doodlebug such as the buttons, Sprinkles, and the new washi tape that I used as additional sun rays!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you are enjoying all of the fun ways to add vellum to all of your scrappy projects!

Shakin' It Up with Sequins: Layout Border Tutorial

We are SHAKING things up on the Doodlebug Blog for the next couple of weeks. Our team has been so excited to share the amazing things you can do with SEQUINS. They're all the trend right now and so many people have been asking how to use them. So we're here to show you and today we're going to start with this fun "border tutorial" by Jodi.

Hi Doodlebug Fans! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day, and I (Jodi) hope to make it a little brighter with a fun layout tutorial on how to make a sequin border! I started my layout by pulling colors from my daughters bathing suit in the photo I was using. So I pulled the tangerine, lilac, and bubblegum sequins. I thought these colors would make a cute and sparkly border. I used the lily white dot/grid piece of patterned paper from the Kraft in Color Collection (the grid side) to use as my guidelines on where to punch my holes with my paper piercer. ( and I grabbed some Lily White Twine to use) Every third line on the grid, I would pierce a small hole:

Every third line on the grid, I would pierce a small hole. I pierced holes all around in a square along the edge of the layout. I then proceed to stitch and add a pattern of sequins between each pierced hole:

Once the entire sheet was complete, the border looked like this:

I love the idea of not using any adhesive to create this fun border! Next up was adding the photo (matted with limeade arrow/dot paper), and some chevron washi tape, a pink posie doodle-pop, and some Simply Sweet Cardstock stickers for the title.

I finished up by diecuting a flower from papers in the Kraft in Color Collection and added some Doodlebug Buttons.

Here is the final product:

And some detailed shots:

Thanks for letting me share today! Hopefully you are keeping just a cool this summer!

Patrotic Parade: Celebrating Canada & the USA

Canada's Sweetie Layout
by Jodi Wilton

Hi everyone Jodi here today to share with you a layout I did using the Patriotic Parade Collection. Now being Canadian, it may surprise you on how much I LOVE this collection! It is not just for Americans, but can be used for everyday crafting projects, and even for Canada Day! My baby girl is born on Canada Day, and I simply love all the elements that this collection has! Here is the layout I created:

I used a picture from her first birthday and decided to play up the Canadian and birthday theme with this collection! I started by doing a lot of layering with the patterned paper and washi tape.
I then created the Canadian Flag by die cutting it with the lily white chevron sugar coated paper and the ladybug sugar coated cardstock.

I even added some more Maple Leafs behind the letters for extra interest, as well as some red, white, blue star sprinkles

I finished off the layout by adding lots of stickers and twine from the this & that sticker sheet and the icon sticker sheet.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the versatility of this fun collection!

American Girl Layout
by Kathy Skou
Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with a couple of projects using the new Patriotic Parade. This is such a fun collection, perfect for all sorts of patriotic projects! First, I created a layout featuring my daughter at the Chatham, MA Fourth of July Parade back in 2004. This is such a fun parade...full of fire engines, bag pipes and ever some pirates! Everyone dresses up in their best red white and blue!

The American in my title was cut using my electronic die cutter. I added some Ladybug Teensy Type letters to complete it.

The balloons are from the Icon Stickers Sheet. I embellished them by stitching some strings using the Red, White & Blue Doodle Twine. The ADORABLE stars are from the new Red, White and Blue Star Sprinkles!

I LOVE the little pinwheels from the Stars and Stripes Pinwheel Craft Kit! They coordinate perfectly with the new Patriotic Parade collection!

To complete the layout I created a small cluster using some Air Mail Washi tape, some Icon Stickers and a silver star from the new Star Sprinkles!

My second project is a fun little home décor piece. I made a frame and easel completely from paper using a 3-D cut file. I used it to frame a cute little flag made from some Doodlebug Washi, Star Sprinkles and Sequins.

I started with some Bubble Blue Swiss Dot Washi and added some Bandanna, Picnic Basket, Lady Bug Swiss Dot Washi and Ladybug Sequins for the red flag stripes. The white stripes were created using some Lily White Sequins, Lily White Swiss Dot Washi and some Lily White Chevron Washi.
