BERRY SWEET - BERRY FIRST BIRTHDAY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and the new Berry Sweet collection is honestly so adorable! I have so many ideas for it and can't wait to create with it again.  When my daughter turned one last year, we had it berry themed and I knew the photos from her special day would go perfectly with this collection! Here's my page, I had so much fun making it: 

To start, I really wanted to use some colored cardstock instead of my usual white cardstock base. I thought it would be fun to pull in more pinks and reds, so I pulled out the Berry Sweet Solid Assortment pack and grabbed both the Cupcake and Ladybug papers. I trimmed the Cupcake paper down to an 11x11 and then matted it with the Ladybug paper. Next, I pulled out my 3" circle punch and punched a circle using the Berry Sweet 12x12 patterned paper. I then took the Sweet Spot 12x12 patterned paper and trimmed a 2x11 strip from it. I layered them together and then adhered everything down. 

My daughter has strawberries on her dress, so I of course had to pull in a lot of the adorable strawberry pieces. I created small clusters with a few of them and since she's just as sweet as can be, I also included a few cupcake pieces. 

To create my title, I pulled a few phrases from the All The Things pack and built it along with some Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers in White. These phrases were perfect for my title! I embellished around my title using a few of the cute mice from the Icons sticker sheet and even included that adorable Berry Sweet Shaker-Pop. My daughter's name is Annie but we've been calling her Sunny since she was a baby and it's one that has just stuck with her. 

Lastly, I went through and started adding some smaller elements to my page. I just HAD to add the crazy cute Bitty Berries Icon Sprinkles onto my page. Gosh, they're adorable!!! I also included some of the Puffy Icons stickers as well. For some last details, I added in some tangled thread and white paint splatters.

Here's one last look at this Berry Cute page!

Thank you 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!

OVER THE RAINBOW LUCKY US LAYOUT | with Jen

Spring is in the air! And what better way to celebrate it than with all the colors of the rainbow! Today I have a single page layout for you using the colorful Over the Rainbow collection. This collection sits at #3 on my list of all-time favorite Doodlebug lines! I started out thinking I was going to make a shadowbox using the Odds and Ends and then I remembered the rainbow picture my husband took the first week we were in our house. He had retired from the Air Force and this was our last move back home! While working in the garage a HUGE rainbow appeared and my son and I came out to look and he snapped this picture.

For my base I started out with the Cherry Floral/Graph petite print. I tore a sheet or white Doodlebug cardstock for the next layer, and the finally the cloud pattern paper from the 12x12 collection kit.

For the layout I built a little scene using pieces from the Odds and Ends pack. I layered them using thin foam tape so when this layout goes in my album it won't make the page protector bulge too much.

Finally, I added my journaling on the little notebook piece from the Bits and Pieces kit and left a pocket in the photo matting to slide it in. I added the Lucky Us title pieces from the Chit Chat and we're done!
