Magical - Doodlebug layout for iNSD

Hello friends, last Saturday it was iNSD (International Scrapbook Day) and I decided to join in one of Doodlebug Design's challenges. I had an untouched "Fun at the Park" collection which I've been dying to use and because my daughter had been to Disney in Florida last October I had the photos to go with it. 

So here's what I made: 

And this is the sketch Doodlebug designed for iNSD:

I really adore this collection!! Here are a few detail photos; 

A happy layout for a very happy place! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

CREATE | DOODLEBUG LAYOUT | STEP-BY-STEP FOR MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK

Hello friends, I've got a fun step-by-step tutorial for this happy Doodlebug layout I created with their Cute & Crafty collection, which was featured in the September Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. I'm a huge fan of Doodlebug Design and have even had the honor to have been on their Design Team for a couple of years!

So, here's the layout I made, using a photo of a scrappy date: 

I have tons of photos of scrapbooking dates, which are - of course - perfect for this collection! 

I started with the sheet of paper with all the 2.5" x 2.5" squares (called Perfectly Plaid):

I had a hard time choosing my favorites, but in the end I selected 12 squares. From my stash I picked a sheet of white cardstock and cut off a strip of 0.5" on two sides. So the white cardstock now measured 11.5" x 11.5". I placed the 12 squares on the right side of the paper in four rows of three squares:

Using my sewing machine I stitched all of them on every side and some of them even twice: 

The designs in these squares make me so happy!! 

Next I wanted to use the white AC alpha stickers from the kit, but first I needed to give them another color. Using my Copics I colored the letters I wanted to use:

And using a ruler I decided on the best place to adhere them:

Before doing anything else I first adhered the sheet of white cardstock on top of the sheet of patterned paper called "Painted Posies". For the title I selected a word die-cut from the "Chit Chat" package and using foam adhesive I glued it in the middle of the two bottom rows of squares:

Next I matted my photo and placed it in the top left corner of my page. I decorated my page with more die-cuts and stickers, I wrote a few lines of journaling and stamped the date (twice) and I was done! 

I really love the result. Hope you do too!! 

Here are a few more detail photos:

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope I've been able to inspire you a little.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

It's Springtime! | JustNick & Doodlebug Design

Hello friends! How are you all doing? I hope you're doing fine where ever you are! Today I'm sharing my latest JustNick layout with you. I created this fun and colorful page with one of the new Easter cut files called "Easter Egg Background" and some Doodlebug goodies.

and this is the cut file I used:

What I love about this cut file is that it's filled with many wonderful flowers which I backed with 9 or 10 different patterned papers. I used the 6" x 6" double sided paper pad from Doodlebug's Simply Spring collection for this and love the result.

Look how great these papers look behind this cut file! When I was finished adhering all the different papers behind the cut file I chose a tangerine colored cardstock paper for the background and only then did I decide on which photos & embellishments to use.

Obviously the photo(s) had to be from Easter or right before or after Easter. These photos were taken the day before Easter, when my bff (in the front of the photo) came over for a quick coffee. We hadn't seen each other for almost 5 weeks, which is quite a long time for us, and we really needed to catch up. So, because of the Corona virus, we sat outside on my garden wall, with one and a half meter between us, drinking coffee and talking a lot. Because of the beautiful weather (and the magnificent blooming tree in my front garden) we had a great time (although the situation remained really surreal).

Choosing embellishments wasn't very hard as Doodlebug's collection come with o many die-cuts and stickers, and look at the awesome sheep!

Next I wrote my journaling around the edge of the Easter egg and machine stitched around the edges of the background paper and here and there on my layout.

I really love the result. This cut file is so super cute and just perfect for this Spring collection from Doodlebug. Make sure to hop over to the store to grab this cut file or one of the many many others!

Thank you so much for stopping by to have a look at what I made. Have a great week and please stay safe!

Hi friends! I'm up on JustNick's blog sharing another heart layout with my Spaniel puppy as the subject of my love. The cut file I used for this page is called "Doodle Floral Heart Outline", my new favorite cut file!

This is the cut file I used, isn't it a beauty?!

Once again I used Doodlebug Design's "Love Notes" collection for my layout. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doodlebug and adore the bright & happy colors and designs in this collection.

What I love about this cut file is the possibility to use lots of different papers to fill all the little spaces.

I used the 6" x 6" paper pad to fill all the flowers, but a 12" x 12" sheet to back the entire heart. I love the effect this gives, with the left half of the heart empty of any designs.

I just love stitching on all of my projects, so that's what I did here as well.

I used little enamel hearts to fill all the centres of the flowers

I love all the heart and love cut files Nicole added to the JustNick shop! Don't forget to hop over and check them out!

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to have a look at my page.
