Patriotic Picnic: 4th of July Layout by Kathy

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with some brand spankin' new Patriotic Picnic!  This collection is full of fun patterns, and stickers.  It's perfect for all of your patriotic projects!  Even better, it coordinates with last year's Patriotic Parade!  I used some papers from both collections to scrap this adorable picture of my daughter and her doll all dressed up for the 2003 4th of July parade in Chatham, MA!

I LOVE the new Red, White & Blue Sprinkles Vellum!!! I die cut some fun stars from it and scattered them on my layout!

I think the new word stickers on the This and That Sticker Sheets are my favorite new Doodlebug addition.  I love clustering them!  They add the perfect touch!

I used some Ladybug Chippers and some Blue Jean Jack and Jill letters for my title.  I love the "big title" look and the Chippers make it so easy!

That's it for me today...make sure to keep stopping by the Doodlebug Blog for more Patriotic Picnic inspiration from the Design Team!  Thanks for stopping by!



Patriotic Picnic: Uncle Sam Decoration by Jennifer

Hello Doodlebug fans! Jennifer here with my Patriotic Picnic project.

I decided to create an Uncle Sam decoration to sit in a alcove I have in my home's front entrance. The Uncle Sam image used for the piece, is a Silhouette file. But if you don't have a cutting machine, you could easily create something similar on your own.

I wanted my Uncle Sam to look pretty thick and solid, so I cut the front and back out of chipboard, then sandwiched 2 inch foam pieces on the inside. Strips of thin chipboard were glued to the sides, bottom and top. The piece was then covered with Patriotic Picnic patterned papers. 

The hat was embellished with chipboard pieces, buttons, star sprinkles, a border sticker and pixies.

The right side of Uncle Sam's beard was embellished with sprinkles, star sprinkles, star jewels and stickers. For some more detail and texture, a pinwheel was also added. 

Washi tape and twine were attached to the bottom of the beard, to add some color along with the letters "USA".

Here's one last look of the finished piece.

Happy Crafting! Jennifer
