Since Doodlebug Design released their adorable stamp sets, stamping on my layouts has been my new favorite technique. I had so much fun creating this colorful stamped rainbow to coordinate with the Simply Spring collection! The mix of flowers, cute insects, and spring colors in this collection make me so happy! Bring on spring!
Creating the rainbow was not only fun, but super easy! I used the Doodlebug Design Rainbow with Clouds cut file to first cut out all the arches of the rainbow from scrap paper. I then lined them up on my layout and traced each arch with a pencil. I then used the small flower from the Simply Spring Flower Girl Stamp set to stamp inside the arches. I gently erased the pencil lines when I was done.
All of the stamps in this stamp set are so very cute! I can't wait to use more of the images from this set. Once my rainbow was colored in, I embellished the page with an Odds & Ends cloud shape and sun shaped Doodle Pop.
I used fun pieces from the Odds & Ends pack, the Chit Chat pack, and Lilac Abigail Alphabet stickers to make the title. Of course I had to use some Bubblegum Doodle Twine as the string for my banner.
I finished the page with this adorable girl Odds & Ends die cut and May Flowers Doodle Pops. A lady bug from the Little Critters Sprinkles is taking a stroll in the girl's garden.
Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to get creative with Doodlebug Design stamps on your next layout or project!

What sunny day wouldn't be complete without a happy sun looking over everything? I added black pearl stickers to the sun's eyes to make this Odds & Ends die cut dimensional.
I tied a length of green ribbon around my photos and then decorated the knot with a flower die cut from the Odds & Ends pack. A pair of leisurely ladybug Sprinkles are lounging on the leaves I added from the Garden Flowers pack. I scored the leaves down the center and bent them a bit to bring them to life.
At the bottom of the page is a springtime scene of friendly critters having a conversation along the garden fence. Just like the sun above, I have added black pearl stickers to the eyes of the turtle and ladybug. Everyone seems to be so happy the sun is finally out!
To frame my design I used the same striped patterned paper (Under My Umbrella Paper) along the top and bottom of the page. I also made sure to include pink and use a scalloped border sticker, as well. Repeating a color or element around your page can make your design more cohesive.
Are you ready for Spring?
