HAPPY HAUNTING FAB-BOO-LOUS PUMPKINS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Who loves to carve pumpkins?  I am sure that most of us are not too fond of all the mess left behind, but then there is the memories of the cute or scary pumpkins that makes it all ok.  I love all the pumpkin icons in the Happy Haunting collection, and they were perfect for this page.

I am using the  Nesting Scallops Doodle Cuts to create the circle frames from black cardstock.   I wanted to keep the focus of the page on a single line, and these are just perfect!

I backed two of the die cuts with the photos, then used the 6x6 paper pad to back the rest of the die cuts.  A bit of foam adhesive helps to add the dimension (ie shadow) in each of the die cuts.  I made sure to alternate the size and position of each of the die cuts along the center line of the page.

Did I mention that the collection has the cutest pumpkins out there?   I used a few of the stickers along with a few pieces of Chit Chat to create my title.

I used the last die cut space to add my journaling, then added star sprinkles through out the page to bring it all together.

I  hope this inspires you to get your Pumpkin decorating memories documented with the new Happy Haunting collection!  XO

FAIRY GARDEN APRIL MEMORIES | with Traci

Hello Doodlebug friends!  If you've been following here at Doodlebug, or over at Artsy Albums, you may have seen the 8x8 album I'm doing for my granddaughter, Rylee.  Each month, I do four 8x8 pages to highlight our fun moments together.  I've finished up my April pages using Fairy Garden and I'm excited to share them with you!

I'm using an 8x8 Doodlebug Storybook album for this project and Sunshine alpha stickers for my titles.  I love the sweet and simple 8x8 size, perfect for a few special memories each month.

Aren't all of the cute little bugs and butterflies adorable?  When Rylee was born, I started calling her my little Doodlebug ... which quickly turned into "Buggy", so these are perfect for her album.

This little fairy on the flower stem is my favorite odds & ends piece (which is hard to choose with 192 pieces in the package)!  Her little pixie cut and headband are precious.  Maybe I should die my hair swimming pool blue!

For this sweet page I included some spaces for 2x2 photos.  I think tiny photos will be cute surrounded by so many pretty patterns!

This little fairy almost looks like she's showing us her biceps!  Cute!  You go girl ... get up on that mushroom and rule the garden! 

My last page is a 4x4 pocket page.  I really wanted to highlight my photos on this page so I used some of my favorite patterns for mats.  

 

For the bottom left corner I punched a scallop circle using a 3 1/2" punch (a consistent feature throughout this album) and a 3" circle punch.  A cute journaling tag with chunky twine is a fun piece tucked behind the little pocket.
