I created a page about where it all began for my husband and me. When we started dating (19 years ago) one of our first trips was to New York. We had such a great time that we vowed we'd go back no matter what. Last October this finally happened! and it was just as fabulous as the first time!

Materials used: patterned paper: Sweet Cakes and Petite Prints, Sugar Coated Cardstock, Sweet Cakes "Cute Cuts", Doodle Twine (Valentines), Doodle-Pops (Sweetheart).

Doodle Sketch Layout + Sweet Cakes Day 3

Valentines Tradition by Wendy Sue Anderson

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

Tuesday Tutorial: Sweet Owls by Jessy Christopher

Hi there! It's Jessy here and today I'd like to show you how I created those sweet owls on my layout. 

Here we go...

 These are the papers that we will be using : Hugs & Kisses and Baby Cakes.

1. First get a round object to trace out a circle. Here I used the outer and inner of a masking tape.

2. Cut the circles and "flower-pot"shape for the bodies.

3. Glue the "flower-pot" shape onto the circle.



4. Adhere some glue on either side of the shape. Fold it in.

5. Apply glue at the top and fold it down.



6. Cut a triangle and paste it at the top of the fold.

7. Cut or punch 2 circles for the eyes larger than the mini jewels. Cut another smaller triangle for the nose and you have it, a sweet owl :)

Here's another close up for the owls...

Supply List: Sweet Cakes collection - baby cakes, hugs & kisses, cheery cherries, valentine twine, sweet cakes (cut outs), valentines (doodle twine), bubblegum & bettle (mini jewels), sweet cake cardstock stickers (icons & frills), cupcake (paper frills)

Sweet Cakes Collection: Be Mine by Sherry Cartwright

Christmas may have left you with visions of sugar plums and candy canes, but Doodlebug Design’s newest line, Sweet Cakes Collection, will leave you craving all things cupcake and sweets.   

The line features some cute cupcakes and juicy sweets, displayed in the ever-so-popular apothecary style containers, ready to be sprinkled with striped straw flags, glittery hearts and petite flowers and a cherry on top.  

Papers are the perfect palette of pink, red and white with an array of irresistible patterns --- cupcakes, hearts, flowers, strips and dots.   I knew I wanted to include as many patters as possible, so I simply added them in strips and hearts and paired it with a lot of white.    

What will you scrapbook with the Sweet Cakes collection?   A lovey-dovey layout, like the one above of my husband and me, or will it be of your favorite sweet treat or will it be of your daughter and friends? This would be perfect!  

Regardless, you’ll want to add this collection of timeless prints to your scrapbook stash. Your sweet tooth will have you grabbing sheet after sheet of patterned paper and sugar-coated goodies. 

You can see more photos of this layout on my blog.
