Give Thanks Project: Layouts by Tiffany & Shellye

Giving Thanks
by Tiffany Hood 

This layout was done using the Happy Harvest Collection by Doodlebug Design.  The colors in this collection are perfect for fall and Thanksgiving, and are vibrant and beautiful.

I used Pixies on my layout, as I have with several other Doodlebug projects lately.  They are one of my favorite new embellishments.  Adhere with pop dots.

The Sprinkles are another fun new embellishment.  They add shine and dimension.

And the title is actually from a sticker sheet and says "Thanksgiving."  I simply cut the two words apart and adhered them in a different order.

What are you thankful for?

-Tiffany

I Am Thankful For....
by Shellye McDaniel

It's always easy for me to count my blessings, although I may not do it as often as I should.  I kept my layout for today pretty simple by focusing on two subjects that I'm greatly thankful for: home and family.

As you can see, I have two large circles in the center of the page...it's my "plate of thanks" :)  Before adding the photos, I cut a strip of paper and then stitched a few X's over the center for decoration...sort of like a napkin laying to the side.

Appropriate stickers were attached to each photo, as well as some of the cute characters from the Happy Harvest Collection.

For the heading of the layout, I trimmed down one of the Simply Put cards to the size of my photo.

Give Thanks Project: Card Set by Wendy Sue

Hello Doodlebug Friends!  It’s Wendy Sue and I’m happy to be joining you today on the Doodlebug blog!  Since November is traditionally recognized as a month of gratitude, I thought it would be fun to create some cards to share with a couple of people I am personally grateful for.  But before I write in them and send them off, I wanted to share them with YOU! 

I used the Happy Harvest Collection – I just love the fun colors and super cute animal designs.  The stickers are so cute and I always love adding a bit of dimension with some foam adhesive squares – not enough to make the card bulky, but enough to add some dimension and interest!

I used a new Polaroid die-cut that I recently acquired and I just love the layering effect that can be created so easily, simply by popping out the center and flipping it over to a coordinating paper and design.

And speaking of layering, aren’t the mini flowers great?  They are so easy to mix and match the pieces to create custom flowers – so fun and colorful!

Wouldn’t you love sharing these cute designs with someone you are grateful for?  I’m sure they would love to hear from you! :)

Thanks -
Wendy Sue

Give Thanks Project: Thankful for Friends Layout by Monique

Hello Doodlebug fans! Monique here, to share a "I'm thankful for ... " layout. I find there's so very much to be thankful for and I love scrapping about it. In this case I chose to scrap about my friends.... how different life would be without friends! So yes, I'm very very thankful for my friends!

I used Doodlebug's "Happy Harvest" collection and can I just say that I adore this collection: the warm colors and all those super cute embellishments! Scrapping with this collection made me so happy! I know, I say that about every Doodlebug collection, but it's how I feel.  

The leaves (both red and blue) and part of the title were cut with the Silhouette Cameo. 

A few close-ups: 

Thanks for visiting Doodlebug's blog today and happy scrapping!

Thanksgiving at the Beach
by Sherry Cartwright

Last year we diverted from our traditional Thanksgiving dinner and had one along the gulfshores of Texas. So fun and fantastic to have a change in pace.

Happy Harvest was the perfect color to showcase the photos from out time there. I set the smaller sized photos in a grid pattern, then added bits and pieces of goodness from the happy harvest collection ---- pixie, doodads, flowers, stickers and sprinkles.

A few details from this layout:

• Cut title sticker in half to make it fit in space on layout.  
• Add family banner sticker from the this & that sticker sheet to a pixie, then tuck under photos to anchor to layout. 
• Use a new doodad as the flower center. 
• Add Doodlebug rub-ons to paper, sprinkles and doodads. Cute!

Adorable Fall Banner
by Tamara Tripodi

Today I have a ca-uuute fall mini banner to share showing off the new Happy Harvest collection! With all the amazing Doodlebug Design embellishments, it made decorating this banner a breeze. How cute will this be on a mantle or strung across a frame?

I used my Silhouette to die cut each pennant piece. I strung the pennants through some eyelets with brown Doodlebug twine. Those cute pom-pom flowers are also made with Doodlebug twine using a mini pom-pom maker (made by Clover. You can find them in the yarn section of your local craft store).

I really enjoyed making this and hope you LOVE it!  

Pumpkin Door Hanging
by Shellye McDaniel

Back during the 'country decor' phase several years ago, I made a lot of stuffed paper wall hangings with brown kraft paper and paint. Since then, 12x12 papers have come on the scene and have made an old favorite even more fun to make!  

I drew a pumpkin shape onto a scratch piece of 12x12 paper and then traced it onto two patterned papers (for a front and back).  Although I machine stitched (leaving about a 2" gap at the top for stuffing) around the perimeter of mine, you could also use a quick drying craft glue.  Stuff the top with cotton filler, paper shreds, tissue paper, etc.  You can find all sorts of patterns for various leaves and fruit shapes online or use a die-cutting machine or template. I gave the pumpkin a folk-artsy look by punching 1" circles and then adding them in a fun polka dot pattern.  Add a wire hanger and you have a cute little hanging to greet your autumn guests.

Scor-Pal Harvest Cookie Box
by Tya Smith

Fall has always been my favorite holiday! From getting to wear fuzzy slippers and over sized hoodies- to football and crunching leaves - this season just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Being a self proclaimed Foodie - I look forward to yummy soups and ciders and my favorite baked goods! I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies - they just scream fall food to me, so I thought it would be fun to spread the fall love with this cute little box that can hold a few delicious baked goods.

I used my Scor-pal tool to make the box and followed this tutorial to make it. I added a layered pattern paper bow and some mini flowers with a bright red sprinkle in the middle. Add a "Grateful for You" sentiment and get ready to send it to that special someone who deserves a little treat.


Welcome to the Neighborhood
by Wendy Sue Anderson

I love the 'harvest homes' patterned paper and thought it would be perfect as a paper wrap for a loaf of yummy banana bread for our new neighbors.  I also used one of the 4x6 cards and a few little embellishments.  Even though it's not quite autumn, it has a nice homey feel and I'm excited to share it!

Be sure to check out my blog, I'll be posting the recipe to this yummy Banana Bread.
