COLOR ME CRAFTY LETS GET CRAFTY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here sharing a layout using the brand new Color Me Crafty collection. This collections color palette is so dreamy and the crafty icons are perfect for so many crafty memories. Here's my page:

I chose the Lily White cardstock for my base and then added two .5 x12" vertical strips of the adorable Crafty Colors striped paper. I absolutely love the look of the stripes on each side of the layout and I feel that it brings the viewers eyes towards the center of the page. I then took the Garden Girl, Color Me Crafty and Bitty Blossoms papers and trimmed them down to 9x3.5 panels. I arranged them down the center of my page and then adhered the Orchid, Swimming Pool and Bubblegum cardstock papers right on top. I had each of those trimmed down to a 7x3 size. It gave each panel a nice bold pop of color on top of the busy patterns.

For the bottom panel, I took a journaling piece from the Bits & Pieces pack and once I added my journaling, I adhered it to the right side of the panel. I then went through the Odds & Ends pack and selected the row of albums pieces since it was the perfect size to be a foundation for a subtitle piece that I grabbed from the Bits & Pieces pack.

I thought the top panel would be perfect spot for my title and chose a few words from the Chit Chat pack to create it. I also embellished around it using some of the larger florals from the Bits & Pieces pack. And then to jazz it up a bit more, I brought in a few of the adorable Puffy Icons and some of the Shape Sprinkles into the centers of my florals. Those tiny paint brushes and scissors?? So CUTE!

The center panel held my trio of photos and they're of my sweet girl scrapbooking with me. Well, she saw my finished layout for Doodlebug and wanted to add some extra embellishments to it. I couldn't wait for her to be interested in creating with me and when she finally wanted to climb in my chair and do it, I was so excited! She's the best crafting partner in my opinion!

For some finishing touches, I sprinkled in a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat pack and a few more Puffy Icons. This page is so colorful and fun and I can't wait to hang it on my wall! Here's one last look: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!

BUTTERFLY KISSES THE GOOD LIFE PAGE | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today sharing another layout using the Butterfly Kisses collection. While on a mini vacation last week, I was at a nursery with my daughter and she was all about the beautiful flowers and of course, the water fountains. She absolutely loves flowers and will stop to smell each and every bloom. I snapped a photo of her and couldn’t wait to document it with this collection. Here’s my page:

To start, I decided to switch things up and opted for a colored cardstock as my base. I ended up choosing the pink Cupcake cardstock from the coordinating 12x12 Solid Assortment pack and I love how everything on top of it really pops!  Since my photo is of my girl looking at all of the flowers, I thought having a bunch of them on my page would be perfect. I pulled out the Bits and Pieces pack and selected quite a few of them. I arranged them in sort of a crescent shape with my intention of tucking my photo into it. 

I popped a few florals up on foam tape and then tucked the rest into each other. I also made sure to pull a few greenery pieces to tuck into them as well. Next, I matted my photo using one of the 6x8 papers and nestled it into the curve shape of my flowers. It's such a cute design!

From that same Bits and Pieces pack, I pulled out the two banner die cuts and arranged them in the top right corner of my page. I then chose my title from the Chit Chat pack and adhered it in the blank space between the banners and my photo. I absolutely love the fonts in this collection, they're so unique and fun!!!

Next, I wanted to add a few more embellishments so I scattered in a few Puffy Icons stickers like the bees and the blue birds. I also tucked in a few little critters into my florals from the Icons stickers sheet. I thought they went perfectly with this playful page!

Here's one last look at this cute and colorful page that was so easy to put together:

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! If you have a bunch of floral die cuts, this would be a perfect design to try, especially if you're short on time but still want to sit down and create a page. I'll see you in my next post friends!

BUTTERFLY KISSES YOU ARE THE SWEETEST LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm so happy to kick off this week using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This collection is one of my favorites and I was so stoked to be able to work with it again. I just love all of the florals and butterflies throughout and couldn't wait to show you my page. Let me know what you think!

I wanted to use this trio of photos of my Sunny girl and instead of trimming them all individually,  I opted to keep them together as one photo strip. This sort of set the tone to have a horizontal type design and I went with it! I chose to have white cardstock as my base and then trimmed down the Rainbow's End 12x12 paper. I wanted the striped side as a main layer with the butterfly side as a supporting element that would be matted underneath the stripes.

The bold stripes going down the page really gave this page that bold look and I knew that building the rest of my page right on top of it would look really nice! I centered and adhered my photo strip down and then added some florals from the Bits and Pieces pack to help highlight my photos even more. I also included a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat pack and added them to the top of my photos.

This is such a playful page and I wanted to make sure I added a few of the cuties from this collection. I selected the adorable frogs from the Hoppy To See You Doodle-Pop stickers and adhered one on each side of my floral cluster. I even added in that teeny little worm from the Bitty Bugs Shape Sprinkles. I love it so much!

I chose two phrases from the Chit Chat pack and put them together for my title.  I adhered it on the white cardstock and then embellished around it using more of the Bitty Bugs as well as the Flower Garden Shape Sprinkles. I wanted them to cascade down the page. I love the tiny elements, they really make this page full of whimsy.

Here's one last look at this sweet and cheerful page. Just like my Sunny girl!

BUNNY HOP EASTER EGGS LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends, Brianna here today sharing another layout using the Bunny Hop collection. My girl had the time of her life hunting for eggs this year and I couldn't wait to scrapbook it! Here's my page: 

I LOVE creating little scenes using the adorable Doodlebug collections, especially the Bunny Hop one! The bunnies, eggs and florals are all so perfect to create a scene with. For my base, I selected the Bunny Hop 12x12 paper since I loved the stripes. I took a piece of textured white cardstock, trimmed it to an 11x12 and then adhered it to the striped paper. I then took the Spring Sprouts 12x12 paper, trimmed it down as well and then cut into it with my fringed scissors to mimic grass. For some extra color and a floral look, I did the same thing with the B side of that paper and adhered it right behind my grass. I love the texture it adds to my layout!

I then took my photo and tucked it into the fringed layers, I love how it looks like my daughter is sitting in the grass! I then built up the background using a few of the larger floral die cuts from the Bits and Pieces pack and then also adhered quite a few of the Cardstock Icons stickers directly onto the grass paper. The soft colors and adorable icons couldn't be anymore perfect for this scene!

For my title, I chose 'Easter Eggs' from the Chit Chat pack and centered it towards the bottom of my scene. Before I adhered it down, I chose the Pastel Plaid Washi Tape and added a strip to go underneath it. I then added some Puffy Icons stickers around my title to highlight it a bit more. I also chose that adorable Honey Bunny Doodle-Pop and stuck it right next to my photo. She's wearing a pink dress like my Sunny girl so it was the perfect choice!

Next, I added in some smaller embellishments and filled in my scene a bit more by including a few of the Colored Egg Shape Sprinkles as well as some of the smaller Puffy Icons flower stickers. 

Here's one last look at this soft, sweet and super cute Easter layout:

BUNNY HOP - HAPPY EASTER LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Estrella here today and I'm so excited to be working with the Bunny Hop collection again! I absolutely love all of the adorable icons, pretty patterned papers and stunning color palette. We took our daughter to see the Easter Bunny for her first Easter and the photos turned out so good. I couldn't help but document another photo from this fun tradition! Here's my page: 

When I was going through the collection, the shadow box insert kit kept getting my attention. I've always wanted to use one for a scrapbook layout, so I pulled it out and got to work. If you haven't worked with the shadow box insert kit before, you definitely need to. It comes with everything that you need and putting it together is so therapeutic! Put on your favorite show and just follow the template with instructions.  Super simple process!

Here's an up close of shot of how it looks with all of the stickers together. Some pieces are popped up on foam for extra interest and dimension. Adorable!

Once I had all of my embellishments down on the vellum insert, I selected the Bubblegum cardstock from the solid assortment pack and trimmed it down to an 8.25x8.25 size. This would be the matte for my vellum insert and it would be the perfect pop of pink behind it. To continue with the simplicity and to frame my beautiful insert, I took some white cardstock that I had trimmed to an 11x11 size and adhered the embellished vellum to it. I then took those layers and adhered them to the Easter Everything paper. I'm so in love with how it all looks together!!

Next, I went through the Chit Chat pack in search of a title. I selected a simple 'Happy Easter' banner and adhered it at the top of my page. I then added a 'So Sweet' flag that I added some white twine to and added it under my photo. My girl was so happy to see the Easter bunny!

I thought about adding more embellishments but I really loved the simple look of this page so I chose not to. The large group of embellishments, simple title and my photo were perfect as is. Here's one last look: 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. The shadow box kit is such a great way to spark inspiration and it really does all of the designing work for you. I think it's perfect for on the go creating or if you're wanting to create but don't have a lot of time! See you next time friends!

LUCKY ME -- LUCKY SCRAPBOOK PAGE | with Brianna

Hey friends, happy Monday! Brianna here today with another layout using the Lucky Me collection. The weather here has really warmed up in the last couple of weeks and my daughter and I have been spending a lot more time outside. I really wanted to make a page dedicated to how lucky/grateful I am to be able to stay home with her. What's that saying.. The days are long, but the years are short? It's true...I've experienced that with having older boys that are now young adults. It goes by so fast and I'm enjoying every second we spend together. This collection is so happy and fun, the perfect collection for the story that I'm telling. Here's my page: 

To start, I selected the Color Me Happy 12x12 paper as my base. I then layered a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed to 11x11 on top. I absolutely love a diagonal stripe as my base layer! I really wanted to add a nice even mix of cardstock and patterned paper so I trimmed down a piece of the Pistachio cardstock and layered both the Rainbow Skies and My Lucky Charm papers on top of it. The cardstock helped break up some of that busy pattern. 

Next, I matted my photo using the Clover Patch 12x12 paper and then double matted it with the Swimming Pool cardstock to help it pop even more. Look at all of those pretty paper layers!! 

The new coordinating Shakers for this collection are amazing and I really wanted to make a simple shaker element for this page. I pulled out my 2" circle punch and punched out a circle using the B side of the My Lucky Charm paper. I love that tone on tone pink polka dot print! Then I pulled out my flower punch and punched it right in the center of my circle. This created my window for my shaker and I love the flower shape! I backed my shaker with the Rain Drops Heavy Acetate, applied foam tape around my window and carefully poured in some of the Rainbow Bright Shakers mix. I closed it up using a scrap piece of vellum and I love how it turned out. So simple but oh, so cute!

I placed the shaker at the bottom of my photo and then decided to adhere my title right on top of it. It really stands out! I felt like I needed to add some larger pieces on each side of it, so I selected the cute sun and the cloud piece from the All The Things pack and adhered them on each side. Then I started to embellish the rest of the page by pulling in more die cuts, Puffy Icons as well as some regular Icons stickers.

LUCKY ME HAPPY LIFE LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna back again sharing a new layout using the Lucky Me collection. This collection is just so happy and fun to work with. I thought it would be perfect to document a few photos of our everyday life. Sunny and I walk to the park daily and it's honestly my favorite part of our day. It gets us out of the house and who doesn't love to feel sunshine on their face? The best! Here's my page: 

Let's talk about Doodlebug's cardstock for a second.. Vibrant, thick and textured.. The best!! It's honestly my favorite and I thought it would be fun to highlight the coordinating set on this page. I pulled out the cardstock pack and trimmed all of the colors down to 1/2x10 inch strips. I chose the white cardstock as my main base and then matted it with the black cardstock. I knew it would allow the cardstock strips to pop off of the page even more!

I then took all of my strips and arranged them in rainbow order on a diagonal. Just seeing them lined up like that made me already love the page haha! I needed a little bit of pattern, so I matted my photo using one of the 6x8 papers and popped my photos up on foam tape. The matching diagonals and all of the bright colors really make this page so happy.

In going with the happy theme, I chose 'Happy Life' for my title and adhered the pieces under my photos. The boldness of the black 'happy' pairs nicely with that black cardstock base and I love it. I then went through the Puffy Icons and chose a subtitle to go under my title and it couldn't have been more true. My girl really does have a heart of gold!

I started working on building the rest of my page with some embellishments. I pulled out the adorable Lucky Charm Shaker-Pop and adhered it towards the left side of my larger photo. It went perfectly with my cardstock rainbow and it's adorable! The little charms hanging from the cloud..! Next, I pulled out a few die cuts from the All The Things pack and then sprinkled in a few of the Icons and Mini Icons stickers. I liked the idea of having a lot of smaller elements on this page. I didn't want to take too much away from the cardstock strips.

For some final touches, I added in some of the Sprinkles and a few ladybugs from the Puffy Icons sticker sheet. Here's one last look: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!

LUCKY ME - IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS LAYOUT | with Kathy

Hey friends! Brianna Estrella here and I'm so happy to share my very first layout using the new Lucky Me collection. This collection is so fun and happy and I was immediately inspired! Here's my page: 

I wanted to bring all of the patterns into this layout so I went through the 12x12 papers in the collection and settled on the beautiful Clover Patch paper. I loved the bright green base with all of the pretty flowers throughout. For my next layer, I wanted a bright pop of pink, so I chose the Bubblegum Swiss Dot paper from the Petite Prints coordinating pack. I trimmed it down to a 10x11size and adhered it down. Then, for even more pop and pattern, from the same coordinating paper pack, I chose the Bumblebee Floral-Graph paper. I trimmed it down to an 8x10 size and layered it on top of the pink paper. Next, I drew some bold black lines around the pink paper to allow it to pop a bit more.

I loved how my base layers were looking and thought I could add a few more patterned layers in, so I pulled out the 6x8 Paper Pad and chose the rainbow paper and the beautiful plaid design. I got those trimmed and adhered down and then matted my photo using the green clover paper. It matched my daughter's shirt in my photo and looks great up against the rainbow pattern. The photo is of my daughter driving her adorable pink car that my parents bought her. She's one lucky girl for sure and she loves cruising down our street everyday!

For my title, I went with "It's The Little Things" and arranged it towards the bottom of my layout. I popped all of the words up on foam tape and then added some of the Mini Icons stickers around it. I love all of the 'little things' in life and to me, they're the most important! I also started to embellish and pulled out that adorable leprechaun driving the orange truck. It was the perfect size and it also became the foundation for the rest of my embellishment cluster.  

I added another embellishment cluster up towards the top left of the photo using a few of the die cuts from the All The Things pack. I think that yellow ticket is so cute and it was perfect for this page. I also pulled in a few of the Puffy Icons stickers and a few more of the Mini Icons stickers as well. I love adding all of the smaller elements towards the end. It really brings everything all together!

Here's one last look at this happy go lucky page!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you next time friends!
