Hello Doodlebug Friends! I'm so excited today to share a project with the new Great Outdoors Collection! Happy November - I love November! A time of gratitude and Thanksgiving... This new collection is perfect for so many occasions: Fall, Camping, New Home, Cute Animals Scrapbooks, and Thanksgiving. The images that jumped out at me right away were the trees and leaves, and that gorgeously cozy cabin. I decided to make a gratitude journal using the warm autumn tones. And because I will probably give this as a gift, I made a small card to hold a Starbucks card, and a straw decoration. A cuppa and journaling!
I made the journal myself by covering chipboard in awesome patterned papers and then binding it with my We R Memory Keepers Cinch Tool. Here are my three pieces in this project.
I gathered lots of trees and hearts and mushrooms... Then I grouped everything around the cozy cabin. I used my sewing machine to sew some of the trees and all around the edges of the yellow patterned paper. I splashed on some white ink. I also used Great Outdoors stickers, Sprinkles and more.
I covered the front and back chipboards with the cool woodgrain paper. Then I added the layer that is stitched. I wanted it a bit shabby so I turned up the edges with my fingers.
I used the 'thankful' and 'so blessed' stickers to make it a gratitude journal.... The inside pages are a mix of kraft cardstock, white cardstock, Doodlebug Gingham and other Patterned papers...
This Starbucks card from this Fall is the perfect match to the Great Outdoors collection. I made a small kraft card and used a pretty gift card die for this piece. I'll write a note inside and give these gifts together. I think all my friends love coffee as much as I do!
I love that big buffalo check paper!
The front and back inside covers are finished off with this beautiful fall floral.
And this is the back cover! Those little owls are adorable! These warm fall colors, with a pop of teal, are so lovely. This entire new collection will warm your heart for sure.
That's it for me today! Thanks for spending some time with me here on the Doodlebug Blog. I'll be back in a couple of weeks with more fun things! Until then, happy crafting!
