Thankful For Challenge: Thank You Bunches Gift Set

Hello Doodlebug fans -  It's Tya and I am happy to be on the blog today sharing with you my project  I made for the Thankful For You Challenge. I chose to make a little gift set that would be perfect to give to someone you are thankful for - whether it is a friend, family member or just someone who you think needs a little pick me up - this fun little set is a great way to say thank you. The Flea Market collection is such a adorable collection and had so many great elements that made creating  this set so easy.

I chose to make a berry basket and a card using some cut files and my Silhouette Cameo. The berry basket can be found here.  The card can be found here.

Here are a few close ups of the project:

This card is called a Wedding Ring Card - it is resembles a quilt pattern which I loved and added to the vintage theme of the collection. I used a few papers from the 6x6 pad and some brown cardstock to make this card.

I cut the "thanks a bunch" sentiment from the paper with the sentiment strips. I also added a small yellow flower sticker from the icon sticker sheet and added a brown glitter sprinkle for a little bling.

The berry basket cut file was so fun to use. I cut the basket from some wood grain paper and then added a hexagon pattern paper for the edges. I filled the basket with some paper shreds and then added some pumpkin cookies to a cello bag and placed that inside the basket.

 To decorate the front of the basket, I added a swimming pool doily, a scallop tag and yellow flower and leaf stickers to the doily with some foam tape.  I added a brown glitter sprinkle to the center of the flower as well.

 I tied the bag with some yellow bakers twine and added a brown mini clothespin and a heart sticker to  finish the decorations off.

If you  are looking  for a fun way to say thank you to someone special - I hope I have inspired you to  make this  little  set. It will be sure to make someones day. Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!

Thankful For Challenge: Fall Calendar Page by Virginia

This Fall I am thankful for our puppy who joined our family 10 months ago.  Her gentle and playful spirit brings so much joy to our hearts.  This is her first Autumn and being a pup her zoomies through the fallen leaves is certainly a sight to see.  She has a fascination with all the critters in our backyard- bunnies, squirrels and racoons.  I thought it would be cute idea to capture her on a page surrounded by all her critter 'friends'.

I used a Daily Doodle as my page base and created a random mosaic of Fall papers and cardstock critter stickers.  The pattern paper squares measure 1.5 x 1.5 inches and the square fits perfectly into the daily grid.  Matting a 3x3 photo on a 3.25x3.25 photo mat fits perfectly within a 4 square grid.

Hope you have a wonderful day, thanks for dropping by the blog~ Virginia

Thankful For Challenge: Seasons of Gratitude by Traci Penrod

Hi friends!  It's Traci and I'm happy to be joining you from Artsy Albums again.  Today I'm sharing an 8x8 mini that features people & things to be thankful for.  

I used two Doodlebug fall-themed paper collections for this album, Fall Friends and Flea Market.

The little critters from the Fall Friends collection are SO cute!  Look at their little sweaters!

The jar paper is one of my favorite sheets in Flea Market! and I couldn't create my albums without Odds & Ends and Doodlepops.  

Now I just need to get my family together for a fun fall photo shoot so I have pictures to put in my album! That will be the toughest part of this project :)  Thanks for letting me share my album with you today! 

Until next time ... happy crafting!
