GREAT OUTDOORS NATURE IS CALLING LAYOUT | with Lisa

Ohhhh, I just love this new collection!!! "The Great Outdoors" is not a typical Lisa-collection, because mostly I want to use pink on every layout. But I have to say... these greens, blues and oranges look just toooo pretty together! :)  Here's my second layout with the collection.

For this layout, I wanted to create something simple.  I've created so many layouts recently, where I filled the entire page with colors and embellishments, and I wanted to create something cleaner this time.  One of the patterned papers gave me the idea actually. It's a paper that is full of small squares with little images and sentiments inside. I used a circle template and traced a few circles on some of the squares. I cut them out and then also cut out the animals represented on those circles, from the second sheet of the same paper. I wanted to layer them on top of the circles, using foam squares, to create dimension.

To create my grid design, I needed nine circles. So for the rest of the circles, I cut them out from different patterned papers. To give the circles a special touch and even more dimension, I also cut out nine scalloped circles that were slightly bigger than the other ones. That way, I could layer everything. I went through the Doodle Pops to fill in some of the remaining circles and chose the tree and the squirrel.   Since they were glossier than the images I cut out of paper, I used Glossy Accents on all of the images to make them glossy too. I also distressed all of the edges of the circles. 

When I had all of my circles ready to go, I placed them on a white sheet of cardstock and decided how I wanted to adhere them down. Then I traced a grid on the paper using a pencil and went over the lines with my sewing machine and different kinds of threads and stitches. Then I adhered all of the circles. I added the photo to the circle in the middle and then used a banner sticker as my title.

After that, I went through all of the cute embellishments from the collection and added Jewels, enamel dots, stickers and enamel stickers...  I really like how it turned out, so colorful and happy. :) Thanks for checking in and see you very soon.

GREAT OUTDOORS COUNTRY HOUSE | with Miguel

Imagining is being able to create, so today I made a beautiful country house using a file from Lori Whitlock.  A few months ago, I started a project ...  I'm creating a little village of houses using Doodlebug products.  I am trying to do some for each season.

Today I made a country house with the Great Outdoors collection and I loved the result. Wouldn't you like to stay in this cute cabin ?

I used Icon Stickers and Doodle Pops to decorate and bring this beautiful little house to life.

My favorite Doodle Pop is the cute little squirrel so I made him a focus of my project.

Good bye for now!  I hope my project brought you some inspiration!

GREAT OUTDOORS FISHING MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Nathalie

I think most of us learned to fish at an early age.   My husband, an avid fisher himself, decided to teach the kids the how-tos of  fishing at an early age.   They loved sitting there with their rods, and catch the small fish!  So, when I saw all the fishing icons in THE GREAT OUTDOORS Collection, this idea came to mind.

I  started by creating a small frame using the Wild Flowers and Colors of Nature paper.   I then, attached these to the b side of Happy Camper paper (all the floating fish are perfect for the story of this layout!).

I took advantage of the corners of the small frame to create two large focal points.  The one on the top right corner of the page has two pictures  surrounded by embellishments. The color combo of the collection just worked perfectly with the photos.

I used the diagonally opposite corner to add large cluster of embellishments.  This collection is packed with so many different icons, it was so easy to add all the pieces together,

I had a hard time coming up with the title, until I found the FISHING sentiment in the Chit Chat pack. A bit of foam adhesive just makes it pop from the page.   

Be sure to check THE GREAT OUTDOORS collection, you are going to fall  in love with it!  XO
