LOTS OF LOVE - LOVE YOU LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Hey creative friends! What do you get when you cross red, pink and blue together? The gorgeous Lots of Love collection by Doodlebug Designs that's what! I absolutely LOVE this colour combination and find it really easy to work with!!

I cut out 3 heart shapes from the 6' x 6' paper pad using some dies from my stash, I added craft foam underneath and adhered them to a plain white cardstock background. I trimmed down the white cardstock and adhered it to the Love You Bunches patterned paper. I then machine-stitched a border around the edge. I placed my photo over the centre heart and then placed 2 of the banners and the Love die-cut below my photo all from the Chit Chat die-cut pack.

Do you love Doodle Pops?! I absolutely LOVE them and just had to add those super cute Love Bugs Doodle Pops sitting on top of the banners! I mean how cute are they?! I added some clusters of florals tucked into a few of the hearts and in the top left corner I placed the cute branch and birdhouse die-cut from the Chit Chat pack.

I really like adding the words and phrase stickers from the This and That sticker sheet to my projects, I like how they help tell my story as I don't journal on my pages much. I chose a few to be used on this page and I also added the blue xoxo heart sticker to the left hand heart and the floral heart sticker to the middle heart.

I placed a few small flowers and heart cluster die-cuts around the page to add some colour and interest to certain parts of the page. I also chose a few enamel dots in different colours too and added these for some extra dimension and colour.

I love the shadows and dimension that are created when I add elements to my projects when I use foam tape. You can see some of the shadows in the close-up photo below.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Happy creating!

LOTS OF LOVE LAYOUT | with Lisa

We're almost back to Valentine's Day, so it's time to get those pink and red collections out of your drawers! :) This week I'm using Lots of Love for this cute Love layout.

I love to fussy cut things out of paper, so I decided to go with the Forever Flowers paper and relax a bit while cutting out a lot of little flowers. My idea was to create a heart with them. 

At first, I wanted the heart to be straight and be in the center of the page but when I put my photo on top, I changed my mind and placed everything the way you see it on the page now.

When I had everything where I wanted it, I adhered my photo to a piece of white card stock and then to a piece of the Forever Flowers paper. I distressed the edges and laid the photo on the page without adhering it.

Then I started to place all of my little flowers, creating the shape of a heart.  I tried to keep the same distance between the left edge of the heart and the edge of the paper, as the right edge of the photo and the right edge of the paper. I love my things to be balanced... :)

I adhered the photo first, and then all of the flowers. I bent all of the flowers in the center to create dimension. Then I added tiny enamel hearts and jewels from the collection in the small gaps in between the flowers. 

I just love how it looks!  It really turned out very cute. To give the layout more color,  I cut out 4 strips of paper from the Sprinkled with Love  paper to create a frame. I also used a fine black pen to add a scribbly line all around. 

To finish, I added a title, three ladybug Doodle Pops and some gold splatters.

See you soon and happy Valentine's Day :)

LOTS OF LOVE SO HAPPY TOGETHER LAYOUT | with Nathalie

February is here! And that means all things sweet and lovely are around us. So what better way to document those loving memories with the beautiful Lots of Love Collection. I love the colors in this collection, and play with a fun idea for this layout

I wanted something that was going to show contrast on the page. So, I cut a half circle from the Hugs & Kisses paper, then folded the cut down to create the flap on the page.

To create the contrast, I cut a circle of the same size from the teal  xoxo side of the Lots of Love paper, and glued it to the flap. I then added two eyelets to bottom of the flap, and used Doodle Twine to hold hold the flap together. Those cute snails from the Doodle Pops were the perfect addition at the end of the twine.

I used Petite Prints to back the empty space, then framed the layout with the teal cardstock from the texture cardstock coordinating set.

I set my photos to the left of the empty half circle - these were framed with a paper from the 6x6 paper pad-. Then it was all about embellishing... I took advantage of it all to create a cluster to the right of the photos, so that they curl into the flap.

Next, I created a cluster at the left side of the flap. Here, I added my title using a piece of Chit Chat and a few extra embellishments.

A few sprinkles, and the small flower garland at the bottom of the flap complete this page. I love how it all turned out!! Remember to check the Lots of Love collection!! XO
