Cream & Sugar Collection: Layout Tutorial with Caroli

Hello! How are you? Caroli here, too excited because this is my very fist post as part of Doodlebug Desing Creative Team :)

Today I want to show you how I made this clean and simple layout filled with lots of Cream & Sugar goodness!

First thing I made is to cut few circles on a sheet of white cardstock that will be the base of my layout. I cut some of the circles fully and some of them just he half, you'll see why later ;)  Once the circles are cut I splattered some ink drops over the page, not too many, just a few!


With the help of a ruler and a bone folder I scored a line on the half-cut circles, just like I show you in the pic.



And then I folded the paper through the scored line, thus I created the whole circle, don't you just love the effect? I do :)



After that, I used some patterned paper to fill the negative space in circles. I used some 30x30" sheets and also the 15x15" paper pad for a smaller pattern as well. 




Once the circles are ok it's time to put the pic. In order to keep the design I used a circle photo and layered a journal card behind it. Then, I used this "love you" quote from the Ods & Ends package. I finished my title with word "frapuccino" I cut with my Silhouette Cameo machine using font Learning Curve.


In order to complement my circles design I cut some more circles from patterned papers and sticked them here and there.



Next, I used my sewing machine for fastening the half-cut circles. I make sure to leave some extra thread loose so as to have a funny look.



Finally, it's time to decorate! I used lots of Ods & Ends, sprinkles and also some alphas for adding the date.  I used some foam dots to adhere some of the embellies, this way I added volume to my layout and made it more interesting.



This is how my layout finally came out. As you can see, it's really simple but yet funny and colorful.
