Doodlebug Mix & Match

Hi!

It's great to have you here for a visit! I know I say that a lot on my posts and I sincerely mean it! I love sharing my crafty projects with you and having the opportunity see yours too! I gain so much enjoyment and inspiration from your posts and projects that I hope to provide the same for you!

Today's crafty share is a couple cards using Doodlebug goodies. Several of the design team members were challenged to mix and match a few of the Doodlebug collections. As I've mentioned before, they all coordinate perfectly together so this was a pretty easy assignment! And fun!

On both cards I used Create-A-Card bases which makes the card making process so much easier. There's a lot of bright colors and styles to choose from! I always pick different envelope colors from my card base for even more contrast and color.

The three collections used for this card are Colorwheel, Nifty Notions and Welcome Home. I bet you can guess that this adorable green chair is from the Welcome Home line?!?! :)

All of Doodlebug Design accents such as their twine, gems and brads work with any collection. This polka dotted red brad is from the Birthday Celebration collection.

If you are new to paper crafting or know someone who is, to get them started, a couple of Doodlebug kits would be perfect since they all work beautifully together and would minimize the amount of product they would have to invest in to get started! Can you tell how much I love this company? ;) I'm only a good sales person if it's a product I like!

My next card uses the same three collections.

I really like these file folder Create-A-Card bases! Very cute! And the Welcome Home collection....I'm smitten over these petite little houses!

I added some pretty flowers to the 'neighborhood'! ;)

If you haven't had a chance to try the Doodles Card Stock Stickers sentiments, they are a must! There's oodles of phrases, colors and the font is pure Doodlebug!

I hope I've given you a good dose of Doodlebug fun today! :) All week long on the Doodlebug Design Blog, you can find mix and match projects from the design team. So if you have a little bit of this collection and a bit of that line....you can get a dose of good ideas for combining them together!

I've got to get this post up...I'm a little behind today because hubs and I were talking to an electrician this morning about installing some proper lighting in my studio! It's for my birthday coming up next month. What a great present, don't you think? Hubs is the best!

Have a super day!

Home is Where the Cat Is

Hi!

Oh joy...it's the weekend! And a drizzly day in my area! Perfect for reading, spending time with my guys and getting crafty!

Did you expect to see another Bella Blvd. Sneak Peek reveal? Ah yes, there's a lot more to show you, but we're taking a day off from all the hoopla! It can wear you out, you know? That means, however, that I get to share a scrapbook page with you! Since my CHA projects are complete and in transit, I decided to play with an adorable Doodlebug collection called Welcome Home. It's an older one, but so stinkin' cute!

If you look up adorable in the dictionary, you just might find this line!

The Icon stickers in are so darn fun! I felt like a young girl playing Barbies, setting up the living room in my dream house! All these pieces are separate stickers that you can arrange anyway your heart desires!

And look at this neighborhood! All these individual houses are part of one long border called Fancy Frills. I added some adhesive foam tape under some of the houses and the sun to give it a little pop.

There are coordinating die cuts, buttons and brads...love this little house brad!

And this bird brad! Too tweet! ;) All the supplies I used for this page are from Doodlebug, the twine, the buttons, stickers, borders and die cuts. What I love about Doodlebug, besides the bright colors and adorable factor, is that all their collections are this fabulous, fun to work with and color coordinated to work with their other lines!

Purrrrr-fect, I'd say!

Well, I'm off to play some more! I'm purrrr-fectly content working away in my office with this cutie of a cat and his brother! I hope you enjoy your weekend too!

Kathy :)
