12 Days of Christmas at Doodlebug - Day 4 with Jessy

Hello creative Doodlebug peeps!! Today it's my turn to share with you what I have created for the Doodlebug Christmas Countdown #4. I have created four Christmas cards using the ever cute-fabulous-colorful Doodlebug collection called "North Pole". What I really love is the hint of grey that is in this collection and it worked brilliantly with all the reds & greens!

I have 3 elements that I want to cooperate on these cards. I must include the shape of a circle (or half circle), mini pearls & of course the fabulous color - grey! Just some guidelines for me to create. It doesn't work all the time but at least it helps when I am low with mojo *wink*

Here are my cards using North Pole Collection...

Supply list: North Pole collection (12x12 paper pad, 6x6 paper pad, cute cut, cardstock sticker) Doodles Cardstock Sticker (multicolor merry christmas), Christmas mini pearls & Mini doodle-pops (festive flock). 

Thanks for coming by and I hope you'll get inspired to create your own set of Christmas cards!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas :)

Xoxo Jessy

Pumpkin Layout
by Sherry Cartwright

I *love* pumpkins --- cookies, cake, pies, lattes, candles, color. I just love them. For this layout, I used a photo from the pumpkin patch. I repeated pumpkin many times to make my point of how much I love pumpkins.

• I used "background" of an old, discontinued sheet of stickers to trace the letters. Using the negative portion of the alpha sticker sheet gives the letters here a stenciled look. 
• Cut apart the zig zag border stickers of the new fancy frills stickers to make the arrows.
• Tear single flowers from the paper frills borders.  I strung a paper clip through the hole of one flower, then topped with a jewel.

Supply List: cardstock: sugar & spice, baby bunting, anyway and petite prints; paper frills; fancy frills stickers, ladybug garden flower stickers and jewels

Mixing it Up with Jessy

by Jessy Christopher


This time I wanted to create a layout by using two boy collections - Boys Only and Snips  & Snails. The colors in the Boys Only are bold and Snips & Snails has more of pastel & subtle shades so they fit each other perfectly. Just by using a couple of 6x6 paper pad and cute stickers you can pull off one good looking layout.

Supply List: Boys Only collection (fancy frills cardstock sticker, party banner cardstock sticker, 12x12 paper pad, doodle twine), Snips & Snails collection (twinkle-twinkle double-sided cardstock, double-sided cute cuts)
