Down on the Farm | Baby Goat Layout by Tya

Being an avid animal lover, I was so happy to have some absolutely adorable Doodlebug farm animals to use on some of my layouts.  The animals are truly the cutest and I loved using the little goats on this fun layout of my girls feeding some baby sheep one day.

To make my layout I started out with a piece of Blue Jean Gingham/Linen paper. I cut out a square from the Chicken Coop paper and mounted it on some red cardstock. I cut a piece of Horsin' Around paper on the woodgrain side and glued it to the paper. I cut a banner shape from the Farmer Flannel paper and added that to the page. I cut a scallop border using a Silhouette cut file from some black cardstock and glued it under the bottom edge of the wood paper. I then added my photos to the layout.

I added a cluster of the goats, a wood fence, a yellow flower and an apple tree from the Odds and Ends.  I added  a small peach flower and a bright yellow sprinkle to the center of the flower.

I added my journaling  in strips on white cardstock and then added a few different colored sprinkles to make bullet points. A bright yellow heart from the Odds and Ends is also in this corner.

To make my title I turned to my trusty Silhouette and cut out some letters using the Arvo font and  some Ladybug Abigail stickers. I also added some die cut and sticker hearts. I used foam tape to pop up the "goat" word for some added dimension.


The Chit Chat pieces of this collection are especially fun and so I located the one that was goat themed and added it to the top corner of my photo. Another heart die cut embellished this section.
This was such a fun layout to put together! From the adorable icons to the bright, happy colors - I loved using the Down on the Farm line to record this memory. I hope I have inspired you to find some cute animal pictures and pick up this cute collection today!  Happy Crafting!

Down On The Farm | Farm Sweet Farm Mini Album with Traci

When you look up the word 'cute' in the dictionary, it should have a picture of the entire Down on the Farm collection next to it.  I mean seriously, there is nothing about this line that isn't just completely adorable! 
I had so much fun creating this barn-shaped mini album and I just couldn't wait to share it with you!  I used the Doodlebug barn cutting file, and modified it a bit so that the album would fit across the bottom.  That sweet little title banner above the barn door is from the chit chat pieces, and the other darling die cuts are odds & ends.  
I just love the new 3x4 cards ... they are perfect for the front of this flip-up card (above) and for tucking into a pocket (below).  
Remember the newly released tiny heart sprinkles?  You'll find them scattered throughout the album too.
There are so many precious new Doodlepops, but my favorite is the Hen & Chicks!  That little worm just kills me!
This fun album will be available as a DIY kit in my Etsy shop. For more information, you can visit my blog at Artsy Albums.   Thank you so much for visting the blog today!  I hope you enjoyed my mini.  Check out all of the Down on the Farm cuteness here.

Down On The Farm | Layouts x 2 with Caroli

I must confess that when I saw the new "Down On The Farm" collection for the first time I loved it, but realized I had not many farm themed pics (we live in the city and don't have any chance to experience farm life). So I decided to organize a trip to a local zoo where the kids had the chance to pet some farm animals. Please tell me I am not the only one who organizes family activities with scrapping in mind, LOL!

I used some die-cuts from the Odds & Ends pack and also some fun pieces from the Chit Chat pack, love them!

I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe to create my title, and patterned paper from the 6x6 'Down On The Farm' pad to fill the letters, I was able to use a lot of the patterns but please that it doesn't look busy.


My second layout features a pic of my little girl, who loves horseback riding. She has been riding horses since she was three, along with daddy, and last year finally started riding on her own. I'm so proud of her!

I used some little horses from the Odds & Ends pack for this layout too, they are my fave item from all Doodlebug Design goodness :)


I created my tittle using some Abigail alphas and also I cut the word "ride" using Better Together free font. I like the combination of big and little words and different fonts.


I hope you liked these layouts and get inspired to work with this beautiful collection. See you on my next post!
