HELLO AGAIN YOU MAKE ME SMILE LAYOUT | with Tya

Well - Hello ...again! LOL! My name is Tya Smith and I am so thrilled to be working with Doodlebug once again! I am so excited to jump right in with my first project using the simply adorable "Hello Again" collection! I loved the first "Hello" collection so much and fell instantly in love with this latest collection. I was so excited to use some fresh, new patterns and colors and all that gold foil is so beautiful!

I thought it would be fun to create a layout to highlight a wonderful night out with some fantastic food and friends! Any time I am with these two ladies, I can't help but laugh and smile all night! Hi Cynthea and Tonya!

To create this layout, I started with a white cardstock background and add a few paint splatters in the top and bottom corners of the paper. I love using a little bit of mixed media to add interest to my layouts. I also base my layout on a sketch from the super-talented Allison Davis - love her work!

I started to create this layout by grabbing the 6x6 paper pad and chose 8 of my favorite papers. I cut them to 5 inches x 5 inches. I then cut these squares right in half with my trimmer. I added some hand stitching on the solid papers for some added texture and to make the papers stand out a little bit. I then added these papers to the center of the cardstock base. I typed up my journaling on white cardstock strips and glued them to this section of the layout.

Next up, is the fun part! Using all the embellishments! I added some floral clusters and tiny gold foil flowers from the Bits and Pieces. Then I added 2 butterflies to the flowers with some foam tape and folded up the wings for some interest. The butterflies are from the Odds& Ends.

I was so excited to see these awesome new gold foiled Sprinkles as part of this collection so I added them to the floral clusters. I had to add a cute rainbow from the Odds & Ends to the top edge of one of my photos. Then I finished decorating with some Hearts from the Puffy Icons. It's so fun to add all these different types and textures of embellishments to make my clusters really stand out! And let's be honest, nobody does embellishments better than Doodlebug!

I added the "You Make Me Smile" die cut from the Chit Chat ephemera to use as my title and because this girl can't get enough of gold - I added a strip of gold scallop washi tape under the title. I also added the " The best time ever" speech bubble to the right side of my photo.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to record some of your favorite memories of those people in your life that make YOU smile! Happy Crafting friends!

HELLO AGAIN ACETATE GIFT BOXES | with Tarrah

Do you like receiving gifts in cute gift boxes? I sure do! The new and GORGEOUS Hello Again collection is the perfect collection to create some gift boxes of your very own!

The new Gold Dot acetate included with the collection made the best foundation for my boxes. I created 2 different sizes using the acetate as the main base. I then chose some patterned papers from the 6"x 6"  paper pad and created tops and bottoms for the boxes.

I wanted the boxes to have a top that could be lifted off however so that it stayed nearby so I added some doodle twine through the lid and the sides of the box to keep it attached to the box. I used the new colors of doodle twine in Mint and Coral and threaded through a cute charmer for each one. The Little Charmers are new too!

I just love me some Doodle Pops and gift boxes are the perfect project to use them on. I added the butterflies to the largest box. Placing one on top of the lid and also placing one on the front of the box. I bent up the wings of the butterfly to show the dimension. The Flower bouquet was a great fit for the front of the smaller box.

I added a Chit Chat sentiment to each box so that I can use these as a thank you or a gift one day, I finished off the boxes with some of the smaller Doodle Pops and placed a gift inside each one. I love how these turned out, they were super easy to make and the result is super cute don't you think?!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy creating!

HELLO AGAIN YOU & ME LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I'm so EXCITED to share my very first layout using the absolutely stunning Hello Again collection. This collection has such a pretty color palette with pops of gold foil. I am in LOVE with it and I had the best time creating with it. Here's my page, I hope that you like it!

I wanted to highlight the colors in the collection so I created a simple mixed media background by ink blending a few Distress Oxide inks that coordinated with this collection. I used Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Salvaged Patina and Squeezed Lemonade. I also splattered on some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine to bring in more pops of gold.

I then pulled out the coordinating Hello Again stamp set and stamped out the butterfly a few times around the page. Next, I pulled out a few papers from the 6x6 Paper Pad and tore into them at an angle. I made sure to place them in between my stamped butterflies and distressed their edges before adhering them down.

This collection has so many gorgeous embellishments and I had such a great time creating my embellishment clusters. I chose a few pieces from both the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat and Bits & Pieces packs and grouped them together. I popped some up on foam tape to give them dimension and interest. The hanging plants are my favorite!!!!

I matted my photo and placed it towards the right side of my paper layers. I wanted a little more color and some softness to my page, so I pulled out one of the Mini Paper Doilies in Mint and layered them under the patterned paper layers. My title came from the Chit Chat pack and I turned it on its side and adhered it right on top of my photo.

Here's another embellishment cluster. All of the pops of gold foil are just so stunning on this page. I tucked in a few of the super cute Gold Sprinkles and a few of the All Aflutter Shape Sprinkles. I love butterflies and these are the perfect additions to my clusters.

Lastly, I added in a few bits of tangled thread to add more texture to my page. I love all of the layers and soft colors on this layout. This collection is so sweet and was perfect to document this photo of my daughter in her wrap. She's a contact napper and I spend most of my day wearing her. Such a sweet memory to scrapbook!

Here's one more shot of this page:
