Hello Doodlebug friends! It's Monique here today sharing a project I made with the brand new Fun In The Sun cut files! I love creating all kinds of paper projects, but creating layouts is what I love to do most, so that's what I created for today. I chose a photo of my husband and eldest son spending some father/son time on Hawaii last year. The Fun In The Sun collection is just perfect for the photos they took. It's a shame though that they don't have a lot of photos with the two of them together, but I did find one!

Here's what I did:


I used the globe cut file and the cut files of cactus #2 and cactus #3. I just adore that globe! As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use a very large one for my page, so that's where I started. I used my Silhouette Cameo and the box of Doodlebug Rainbow Assortment Cardstock to cut out all the pieces of the globe:



and put it together, which was so super easy. Isn't it awesome?!



Assembling the two cacti was very easy as well, although I did use a little trick when it came to cactus #3. As this cactus has six light green vertical strips which have to be adhered evenly spaced to the dark green "body", I decided to leave the strips inside the piece of cardstock, add glue to the back as is and then press it to main (dark green) body:


Next I removed the piece of cardstock the strips were cut from and voilà they are perfectly spaced adhered to the body:


Next came the pot and the flower and the cactus was done:


And here are a few close-ups of my page:



As Hawaii isn't visible on the globe I created a little cluster in the vicinity of it and glued it to the globe, using a bit of foam adhesive for the glasses. For good measure I added the word Hawaii using Doodlebug's Simply Sweet alpha stickers:


With all the fun papers, die-cuts and stickers from the Fun In The Sun collection this layout came together in no time at all! Some machine stitching for the finishing touch and I was done!

Doodlebug's cut files are available in the Silhouette Design Store and in Lori Whitlock's store.
