Doodles Layout Sketch: Go Green! Team Challenge

Last week we invited you to participate in our first Doodles Sketch Challenge (more details here). This week we're going to share with you what we challenged our Design Team to create with the Doodles Sketches. However, we took it a step further and told them they had to create their samples with 75% worth of GREEN Doodlebug products.

Spring 
by Sherry Cartwright

My favorite season is spring. I love the new, the freshness and the green [albeit the only green in our yard right now are these iris leaves and weeds]. I still love it.

For this layout, I used Monique's Doodles sketch. I looooooooove the ribbon notched piece in the center of her sketch, so that was my starting point. I layered photos instead of the line of various size photos. I will definitely use this sketch again!

Tip --- the spring sticker is too cute not to use, but I was having issues with the color. It was the same green as my background cardstock and was not showing up. So, I colored with a green marker similar to Doodlebug's grasshopper green. Viola!

Supply List: Petite Prints daisy stripe : limeade; Petite Prints daisy stripe : grasshopper; Paper Frills : limeade; Boutique Buttons : limeade; Boutique Brads : Ladybug Garden; Cardstock sticker : spring; Expressions Collection Rub Ons : spring time; Doodle twine

Celebrate 

by Monique Liedtke

My take on this week's subject is a layout about our own "St. Patrick's Day". As my husband is called "Patrick" and because he turned 50 last year, we called his birthday: "St. Patrick's Day"!!

Doodle Sketch Layout + Sweet Cakes Day 3

Valentines Tradition by Wendy Sue Anderson

http://wendysueanderson.blogspot.com

Every year I surprise my family with a sweet valentine’s day treat at dinner.  These photos are of last year’s treats.  I love how the sweet and colorful papers in the Sweet Cakes Collection coordinate with any type of Valentine’s Day treat!  I loved using Aphra's sketch as a starting point and then adapting it to work with my photos.  Notice how I chose to use some of the journaling blocks from the cute cuts page in place of the banner flags?  Sketches are a GREAT way to get your wheels turning!

 Supplies: Sweet Cakes sugar coated cardstock sticker; Sweet Cakes fancy frills; Sweet Cakes Lots of Love; Sweet Cakes Valentine Twine; Sweet Cakes cute cuts; Valentines doodle twine; Love boutique Brads; Simply Sweet bubblegum mini rub-ons; Hopscotch lily white card stock stickers
