MY HAPPY PLACE HELLO SUNSHINE LAYOUT | with Erica

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Doodlebug Design blog! Erica here with you today to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout using the My Happy Place collection!

I wanted to create a quick and easy layout but still bring in lots of different patterns and colors from the collection! I used the 12x12 Love This paper from the collection as my base and then trimmed down the pretty floral Garden Girl paper to add a strip going along the top of the page!

Next I trimmed down some Lily White textured cardstock to about 3x12 and adhered down under the floral paper. The next layer was a thin strip of the Cozy Spot pattern paper than I trimmed down to about a half inch and tucked under the white cardstock.

To help break up the different strips of paper I added in some of the scallop border stickers from the My Happy Place This and That sticker sheet! This also helps add another little detail to the page and another color!

I printed out my photos in black and white approximately 2.50x2.50 in size and matted on a piece of pattern paper from the My Happy Place 6x6 paper pad. You could definitely change up the photo size with this design and go bigger or use on 4x6. The possibilities are endless with this simple design.

I used some fussy cut florals, mini icon stickers and My Happy Place chit chat pieces to embellish around the page! I love how it turned out and the photos of my oldest brother and our niece is just the sweetest!

MY HAPPY PLACE SUCCULENTS | with Karen

The last time I was crafting with the adorable "My Happy Place" collection, I was slightly obsessed with the adorable plant stamps in the Garden Girl set. In fact, I was so obsessed that I decided I really wanted some plants for my happy place - my crafting corner. So I grabbed the collection, picked up a couple of cut files from the Lori Whitlock store and got crafty!

Voila - the perfect cut plants that don't even need water to stay smiling! I used the 12x12 patterned paper from the collection for the pots and some of Doodlebug's amazing textured cardstock for the plants. To create their little faces, I simply used some of the black Sprinkles from the "In the Garden" Shape Sprinkles for eyes, some pink Sprinkles for the cheeks and then drew on the mouth. I topped of the cactus with two flowers layered together from the Bits and Pieces pack.

Yup, this little ray of sunshine can smile at me all day. But here's the fun thing - if you are looking for something a little less cute and a little more sophisticated (don't worry, I won't tell this cutie)...

The Shape Sprinkles make the perfect embellishment instead! I went for a monochromatic look, simply choosing the sprinkle shapes that coordinated. And if you are like me and can't decide which style works best, do one style on one side of the pot and one on the other side like I did!

I can't wait to put together my new My Happy Place Shadow Box insert to go with this little trio! I think I know what I might be working on this week! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

MY HAPPY PLACE SHADOWBOX INSERT KIT | with Wanda

Hi Doodle-friends! Wanda here today to share a fun Shadow Box project with you! Aren't you loving all the projects made with My Happy Place Collection? I love this collection so much - it really speaks to me with the colors and themes. Today I put together the My Happy Place Shadow Box Insert and created a piece for the table in my entry way! If you haven't made one of the Shadow Box Kits yet, I encourage you to make one! They are so much fun to make. 

I swapped out my Cute and Crafty insert for the My Happy Place insert! Pinks and greens and aqua....with themes of home and heart. 

 In your shadow box kit you get everything you need to put this together! All you need to do is pick out your frame! You get the gems and stickers and Sprinkles.... I decided to add some tiny heart Sprinkles as well. Love!

 

I added a sticker from the 12x12 My Happy Place sticker sheet. I already had made the flowers for my prior insert!! It makes it so fun and pretty.

 

I used the pistachio and white polka dot paper from the My Happy Place coordinating Petite Prints to back my insert. Looks great with just a touch of a print behind the vellum.

That's it for today's project! I will be seeing you soon! I can't wait to create with the upcoming Seaside Summer Collection! Stay crafty!
