Down On The Farm | Treat Sleeves by Brigit

Down on the Farm has the cutest paper designs, I absolutely love all the farm animals in this collection. I made a couple of quick treat sleeves to show off the adorable double-sided patterned paper.

I used a couple sheets from the 12 x 12 paper pack and the stitched sleeve die from My Creative Time to create these cute treat holders.

The first one I used the chicken coop paper and added a couple of chicks from the icon sticker sheet. I also used a speech bubble from the chit chat pack and some sprinkles from the hen and chicks pack.

Here I used the eieio sheet with a banner from the chit chat pack and a couple of sprinkles from the farm friends pack.

For the last one, I used the utterly cute sheet with the cow from the icon sticker sheet and a speech bubble from the chit chat pack, so adorable!

That's for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Down on the Farm | Layout with Kathy

Having a daughter away at college has really cut into my photo taking!  I am lucky however that she is agreeable to sending pictures to me.  Last year when she went apple picking at a local farm, she sent me a bunch of pictures saying, "I knew you'd want to scrap some of these!"  So as soon as I saw the On the Farm Collection, I immediately thought of these pictures of her with the baby goats!

 I started with the wood grain side of the Country Garden double sided cardstock and the Farmer Flannel papers for my background.  I added some strips from the Down on the Farm paper, I just love the bandanna and the buffalo check patterns!  I then had lots of fun with the Odds and Ends!  Those little goats are just too cute!  I also added a couple of stickers from the Icons Stickers Sheet, the mouse and fly... because that fly is adorable and needs to be part of every Down on the Farm project!  And...Yes, my title (made from Abigail Font Stickers in Lily White)   is a pun.  I'd like to be able to blame it on the So Punny Collection, but to be honest, I've never been able to resist a good pun!   Here are some close-ups...

This collection is just too stinking cute!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Happy Easter | Bacon & Eggs Shadow Box by Melinda

To get the most from our products we quite often need to 'think outside the box' when it comes to themes and holidays. You don't always need to have elves for Christmas, hearts for Valentine's Day or bunnies at Easter. Sometimes you can get away with using cute icons that don't depict the holiday you are working on but they have the perfect color scheme.  

My Easter project today doesn't have a single bunny or chicken in sight, however, it is covered in eggs... along with bacon, waffles, pop tarts and a few hearts thrown in for good measure and will make the perfect Easter gift for my youngest son who loves nothing better than a cooked breakfast. Don't get me wrong... he also loves chocolate so hopefully Easter Bunny drops in a few chocolates on his way past.

To create the shadow box I started off with a base of Swiss Dots vellum and placed a heart shape underneath to use as a template. I then adhered the largest of the icons evenly across the heart before filling in all the gaps with smaller embellishments.

Using Doodle-Pops and Sprinkles along with stickers gives a wonderful dimension to the project from all the different thicknesses in the layers. And how cute are those egg Doodle-Pops from the 'So Punny' collection?

Doodlebug have both 12 x 12 and 8 x 8 shadow box frames in white, black and brown. For this project I used the smaller size frame in white. Shadows boxes are a perfect way to create a gift for someone that has a little bit of dimension and a whole lot of fun.
