12x12 Snow Much Fun Winter Layout with Doodlebug

Hey guys! It's time for my next Doodlebug Design Team Project. Yay! I hope everyone is staying warm and toasty at home during the winter storms. We got some snow in Georgia and my grandlittles couldn't wait to get out in it. So today, I'm sharing a 12x12 scrapbook page I made with the beautiful Snow Much Fun Collection and a few of their photos. ❄️ 

12x12 Snow Much Fun Winter Layout with snowflakes, circles, a cute blue house, and a penguin

To make it, I chose some card stock for the base in gorgeous colors of blue jean, pistachio, and lilac. Then, I layered a sheet of lily white on top. Next, I designed three 9.5 inch circles and welded them together as one piece. I cut it out using my Cricut machine and adhered it to the page.

Time for embellishments! In the upper left corner, I added 3 beautiful snowflake die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and some cute little heart and snowflake puffy stickers. Then, a little bit of sparkle with the mini jewels.

In the right corner, I added the "Let's Stay Home" die cut from the Chit Chat, the Brrrrrr and heart stickers from the This & That, more mini jewels and puffy shapes, and snowflakes from the Bits & Pieces. Cute!

In the bottom corner, I created two 3x4 inch mats with the colorful striped print called Cold Streak, then added my sweet photos on top. To decorate, I added the "Chilly" This & That sticker, the cute house die cut from the Odds & Ends, and an adorable penguin puffy sticker. And for a little extra detail ... I added some puffy stickers to the snowflake die cuts and a mini jewel to the house as a doorknob. Love! 

This page is simple, fun to make, and filled with such cute embellishments. I hope you'll choose the beautiful Snow Much Fun Collection to document your special winter memories. Happy scrapping my friends! 😊

12x12 Love You Valentine's Day Layout

Hi scrappers! It's time for my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project, and ... it's National Puzzle Day! So, I created a 12x12 scrapbook page with a big beautiful patchwork heart that reminds me of a puzzle. I also got inspiration for the design from a quilt my grandmother made me when I was a child. I designed it with the My Life 365 Collection, some puffy and enamel shapes, and 2 pink Bella Besties prints, making this layout a sweet spot for your Valentine's Day photos. 🧩🩷 

12x12 Love You Valentine's Day Scrapbook Page Layout with a patchwork heart, a bow, and a hot air balloon

To make this, I used black card stock and a sheet of Bella Besties graph and dot in punch for the base. Then, I designed the heart shape I wanted and cut 5 out of different 12x12 patterned papers. I cut them up in pieces exactly the same and mixed up the patterns until I liked the patchwork design. Then, I pieced the heart back together like a puzzle and adhered the pieces to white card stock.

12x12 Love You Valentine's Day Scrapbook Layout with a patchwork heart, a bow, and and epoxy stickers

I wanted to add a little bit of stitching, so I used black embroidery floss to sew a line around the heart. At the end, I tied a cute bow and added some epoxy hearts, a puffy star, and cute puffy dots from the collection.

In the lower left corner, I matted two black and white photos and adhered them to the heart. Then I added a few more epoxy hearts, a black arrow from the Puffy Trinkets stickers, and more dots.

How cute is this Be Mine Bella-pops?! I love the shine of the heart shaped hot air balloon, the little blue clouds, and the dimension it adds to the page. And just underneath, I added the "Love You" die cut from the Ephemera Words and sprinkled a few more puffy stickers around.

Finally, I added two epoxy hearts that came with the Be Mine Bella-pops on top of the hot air balloons in the print above. Can you see them? They are the cute pink polka dot hearts. What a fun little detail!

I also used Bella Blvd's new Snowflake Season Collection. It has such cute snowmen, polar bears, snow covered houses, reindeer, and the funniest little moose. I created my latest Hive exclusive kit titled Snow Place Like Home with it and it was super fun. So, I really wanted to make a special acrylic mini with it for everyone!
