LAND THAT I LOVE LAYOUT | with Tegan

If you asked me what my favorite Doodlebug Design collection is, I would have a difficult time choosing because they are all so great! If you asked me what my favorite collection is right now, I'd say the Land That I Love collection! I knew it was a great collection when I first saw it, but I love it even more after creating with it!

I started this layout by using the star from the Doodlebug Design Lots O' Luck Lucky Shapes Cut File to create a background pattern in my Silhouette software. I simply resized the star to about 1/4" and copy and pasted them randomly in the software. I didn't really worry too much about placement and just had fun scattering them around the page. I then used white cardstock to cut out the background and backed my page with blue and red Land That I Love patterned papers.

Right away I knew I definitely wanted to use some of the Summer Celebration (fireworks) Patterned Paper! I used Odds & Ends Ephemera and Mini Icons Stickers to embellish above the photo. I love adding Sprinkles epoxy shapes to the die cuts for a little extra dimension.

And I love that I was able to die cut the perfect oval tag for placing the rest of my title using the Doodle Cuts Mini Tags Dies. I was able to easily create a layered tag by cutting tags out of both blue and aqua papers. The tags have a 'stitched line' border that is die cut in to the tag. I simply just hand cut the excess off the blue tag following this border and adhered it on to the aqua one. And OF COURSE I had to include the brand new Sunshine Alphabet Stickers on my page. To say that I love these alphabet stickers is an understatemen!

You can see here the stitch marks on the dies and some more examples. The cute little tag possibilities are endless with the Doodle Cuts Mini Tags Set!

The Land That I Love collection is the perfect mix of red, white, blue, aqua, and adorable graphics. Aren't the little red firecracker and blue popsicle just the cutest?! I hope you love this collection as much as I do!
