Smile Spring Garden Scrapbook Layout

Hey everyone! I'm back on the Doodlebug Design Blog today, sharing my 12x12 Spring Garden layout. I just love the patterns and colors in this collection. The plaids, dots, flowers and chevrons are all so cute!

I used pictures of my sweet nieces and cute papers from the Doodlebug Spring Garden Collection. For the base, I started with the 12x12 blue and green polka dot called Kiwi Dot and added white cardstock on top of that. Then layered the blue Sweet Talk, Fruit Stripe and Garden Plaid on top. 

The "smile" and larger flowers are from the Spring Garden Icon Stickers and the "together" tab and "good times" banner are from the This and That. Sprinkles are, by far my favorite embellishment so I added a bunch of tiny flower shapes and enamel dot sprinkles to this page. So CUTE!!

 

Aren't those little polaroid frames adorable with the BFF, LOL and '12? This collection has an entire page of them and it's called Berry Blossoms.

Note: Doodlebug's Fairy Garden Collection would be a really pretty substitute for these products so I've added some links below in case you want to take a look. Happy crafting everyone!

Easter & St Patrick's Day Magnets - Lori Whitlock March Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Today I'm hopping along with Lori Whitlock's Creative Team for our March blog hop! If you are starting here, be sure to head back over to Lori's Blog to start from the beginning. We have lots of creative ideas to share with you!

For my project I created magnets for my refrigerator using 2 of Lori's cutting files called, 9 Easter Eggs and St Patrick's Day Icons (links below). But ... you can use any of her files to make magnets that are perfect for other holidays too. I decided on St. Patrick's Day and Easter since it's that time of year. 🐰🍀

I used self-adhesive magnet material by Silhouette (link below).  It cuts easily and is really fun to use.

 

 

After cutting your shape from card stock or pattern paper, cut the same background shape from the magnet material.  Peel off the magnet backing and adhere the material to your shape. So easy!

Aren't these cute? Perfect for displaying photos, notes, or your child's artwork!

Just imagine how many fun magnets you could create with Lori's files. The possibilities are endless! I've added the cut file & magnet paper links below. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin'!

Doodlebug Swiss Dot Frame Decor

Hi everyone, it's Traci and I'm back to share my swiss dot project with you!  I love primary colors and although the new swiss dot papers come in lots of fun colors, I chose the primary ones for my framed decor piece.  I think this will look really cute in a child's room!

I love this 8x8 shadowbox frame from Doodlebug, and it worked perfectly for my picture.  To create the white mat, I designed a background with my Silhouette CAMEO machine.  I used sketch pens to create the "stitched" boxes and then cut the inside squares out. 

I also used my Silhouette to cut out each embellishment -- the swiss dot papers cut beautifully! 

I finished this piece off with some chippers alpha stickers.  Love these!!  

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project!  Leave me a comment and tell me about your fun swiss dot projects!!
