Under the Sea Collection: Commotion in the Ocean Double-Page Layout by Mendi

Hello Doodlebugs!  It's Mendi here today.   I'm thrilled to be back sharing another 2-page layout, this time using Doodlebug's fun, new Under The Sea collection.  

I was super excited to be able to visit the CHA trade show and Doodlebug's adorable booth for the first time this year so I was determined to find a way to take inspiration from their booth and use portholes on my scrapbook page!  To do this I created a special cutting file on my Silhouette that I am sharing as a free download HERE.  

I cut each porthole once from cardstock and then a slightly smaller version twice from Silhouette's chipboard.  It designed extra thin so your machine can handle it so I think glued all the layers together with a glue pen.  When I was done I added 12 white mini brads to the provided holes and back it with a circle cut from the beach treasures patterned paper.

I love the depth that little bit of chipboard gives to the scene!  I embellished the portholes with icon stickers popped up with foam tape.  Doodlebug's new Bubble Sprinkles were the perfect finishing touch!

To balance out my portholes, I added a fun little scene to the bottom, left-hand corner of my layout using the Mermaid Doodlepop and more fun stickers from the icon sticker sheet.

Before I go I thought I would share a picture of Doodlebug's beautiful booth that inspired my page (unfortunately The portholes were on the interior walls and I didn't get a very good picture).  ;)

I had so much fun with this page!  I hope I've inspired you to pick up some of this happy collection and create some fun for yourself.  ;)
