Christmas Town Layout | with Anita

Hey Doodlebug peeps,

Merry Christmas and happy holidays I hope everyone is enjoying being with family 

And all the kiddos are have lots of fun on holidays ... it’s been a bit warm here in Queensland Australia and my little kitty loves laying in front of the fan chilling out and he always looks so cute.

I started my layout using pretty snowflakes layering over it with my white cardstock 

Machine stitching around the edges then next using a pretty blue patterned paper and and my cameo to cut out the 

Stars from the silhouette store design id 236947

After it was cut out I added the star design to the left hand side and machine stitched a line down the middle to hold it in place 

Next I added layers of patterned paper behind my photo from the petite prints dots and stripes 6x6 and the Christmas Town 6x6 and a Lily white doily 

Then using the diecuts from the odds and ends and chit chat pack I added part of my title and a few snowflakes 

Around my photo along with a sticker from the this and that sticker sheet 

Using a bit of patterned paper from the 6x6 Christmas Town and some twine I created a tag to tuck underneath my photo layers 

I then added a cute little Christmas tree doodle pop to the side of my photo just overlapping the photo and snowflake diecut. I wanted to add the cute little hearts from the icons sticker sheet 

And to finish off my layout I added my title underneath my photo 

this is my last project for Doodlebug, I’ve had an amazing time playing with all the beautiful bright and fun products and I hope you have enjoyed all my creative inspiration.

Christmas Town Place Cards | with Kathy

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!  Hopefully all of your shopping is done and you're just putting the final touches on Christmas!  I decided last minute that I wanted to add place cards to my Christmas table, so of course I pulled out some Christmas Town and got to work!  These little place card treat boxes were put together using the Christmas Town 6x6 Pad and the Icons Sticker Sheet!

Each box holds a sweet treat inside!

The boxes were pretty simple to make.  I used this thin metal die and my Sizzix to make the boxes using papers from the 6x6 Pad.  Then I added the cute little Icon Stickers to the top...

For each place card, I created a box and chose a sticker from the Icons sheet.  I punched 2 circles using a 1/2" circle punch.  I also created name banners using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette, but you could easily hand write the names on a little hand cut banner.

To create the "stand" for each sticker, I folded each of the circles in half, then glued them together as shown in the second picture.

I used my powder tool on the back of each sticker to make it "un-sticky"  You could also use regular baby powder or corn starch as well. This is so it doesn't stick to everything once it's on the box.

Finally, I added some adhesive to the bottom of my sticker and stuck it to the stand I created.  This can then be glued to the top of your box.

Here are some close-ups of the individual place card boxes...

I can't wait to put them on my table!  That's it for me today...I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Christmas Town - Wish List Journal | with Jomelle

Christmas Wish List

Dear Santa, Merry Christmas! I have been good this year so here are my wish list.

I've created a fun way to keep my kid's wish list that I can keep and treasure every year. I originally wanted to create a junk journal, but then I thought "Hey why not create a wish list for Christmas" This way I can keep all my kid's wish lists every year.

I cut different 12x12 papers from the Christmas Town collection to the size of the Daily Doodles Insert ( which is a Standard size) so that I can keep in it my planner. I also cut smaller size paper and punch the edges to give it more layered look.

 This is my 10 year old son Jaden's wish list for Christmas. I love seeing my kids handwriting and compare how they progress as they grow older. I decided to use the Petite Papers and used my Tag die cut for listing all their wish for Christmas.

 You can see the different pages I have created. This can also be used as a mini album and I can add pictures later on.

 Do you still believe in Santa? I do!

 I decided to laminate the odds & ends pieces I used as tabs since I know I'm going to be using it a lot to flip the pages. This way they can last longer.

 Of course I had to create my own list to give to Santa.

 I added the clear pocket adhesive I got from Target to hold all the "wish list" and I've added them to the pages.

 Are you on the naughty or the nice list this year? Here are the tags and ornament shape I cut for my kids to write on. I added the twine to the tag to complete the look.

I like all the layering I've created. I just love staring at it. I can't wait to add my kid's list each year that I can look back on and reminisce with them someday.

Have you been good this year? Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my fun "wish list" inserts/mini album I created to add to my Daily Doodles. Happy Holidays!
